The little girls, however, considered it a mostagreeable and interesting event, and Jo got little comfortfrom them, so she went up to her refuge in the garret, andconfided her troubles to the rats.Nobody ever knew what went on in the parlor thatafternoon, but a great deal of talking was done, and quietMr. Brooke astonished his friends by the eloquence andspirit with which he pleaded his suit, told his plans, andpersuaded them to arrange everything just as he wanted it.The tea bell rang before he had finished describing theparadise which he meant to earn for Meg, and he proudlytook her in to supper, both looking so happy that Johadn’t the heart to be jealous or dismal. Amy was verymuch impressed by John’s devotion and Meg’s dignity,Beth beamed at them from a distance, while Mr. and Mrs.March surveyed the young couple with such tendersatisfaction that it was perfectly evident Aunt March wasright in calling them as ‘unworldly as a pair of babies’.
