“Queridas niñas, tengo planes ambiciosos para vosotras, pero no tienen que ver con que lleguéis a tener un puesto importante u os caséis con un hombre rico por el mero hecho de serlo o porque tenga una casa estupenda, sobre todo si en esa casa falta el amor y no es un verdadero hogar. El dinero es un bien necesario y valioso y, si se hace buen uso de él, se convierte en algo noble, pero no quiero que creáis que es lo más importante o aquello a lo que debéis aspirar. Prefiero veros convertidas en esposas de hombres pobres pero felices, amadas y satisfechas, a que seáis reinas en su trono, carentes de respeto y paz.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Mujercitas

Cuando se levantaron quiso despedirse, pero Laurie dijo que tenía algo más que mostrarle, y la condujo al invernadero que estaba iluminado en su honor. Era como un lugar encantado, con las paredes cubiertas de flores de cada lado, la dulce luz, el aire húmedo y tibio y las vides y plantas exóticas. Su nuevo amigo cortó las flores más bellas, y las ató en un ramo, diciendo, con mirada alegre: -Hágame el favor de dárselas a su señora madre, y dígale que me gusta mucho la medicina que me envió. Encontraron al señor Laurence de pie delante del fuego en el salón. La atención de Jo quedó completamente cautivada por un hermoso piano de cola, abierto. -¿Toca usted el piano? –preguntó Jo volviéndose a Laurie con expresión llena de respeto. -Algunas veces –respondió. -Hágame el favor de tocar el piano ahora; deseo oírlo para contárselo a Beth. -¿No querrá usted tocar primero?”
