It is a heartwarming and inspiring story that has captured the hearts of readers for generations.Amy looked relieved, but naughty Jo took her at her word, for during the first call she sat with every limb gracefully composed, every fold correctly draped, calm as a summer sea, cool as a snowbank, and as silent as the sphinx. In vain Mrs. Chester alluded to her charming novel', and the Misses Chester introduced parties, picnics, the opera, and the fashions. Each and all were answered by a smile, a bow, and a demure ""Yes"" or ""No"" with the chill on.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
