Little Women: Meg's Monologue


MEG—Jo! Jo! Where are you? I have news! Such fun! Only see! A regular note of invitation from Mrs. Gardiner for tomorrow night! (reading) “Mrs. Gardiner would be happy to see Miss March and Miss Josephine at a little dance on New Year’s Eve.” Marmee is willing we should go, now what shall we wear? Oh, if I only had a silk! Mother says I may when I’m eighteen perhaps, but two years is an everlasting time to wait. I shall have a new ribbon for my hair, and Marmee will lend me her little pearl pin, and my new slippers are lovely, and my gloves will do, though they aren’t as nice as I’d like. Gloves are more important than anything else. You can’t dance without them, and if you go without them, I should be so mortified.
