Four Sisters

(after Louisa May Alcott)

As young readers like to know “how people look”, we will take this moment to give them a little sketch of the four sisters, who sat knitting in the twilight, while December snow was falling quietly without and the fire crackled cheerfully within. It was a comfortable room, though the carpet was old and the furniture very simple. Some pictures and a mirror hung on the walls, books filled the bookcases, there were pots with Christmas roses in the windows. The atmosphere was pleasant and peaceful.

Margaret, the eldest of the four, was sixteen and very pretty, being plump and fair, with a sweet mouth and plenty¹ of soft brown hair of which she was rather vain. Fifteen-year-old Jo was very tall and thin. She never seemed to know what to do with her long arms and legs, which were very much in her way. She had a big mouth, a comical nose, and sharp gray² eyes which seemed to see everything. Her long, thick hair was her one beauty. Elizabeth – or Beth, as everyone called her – was a rosy, fair-haired, bright-eyed girl of thirteen with a very shy manner. She seemed to live in a happy world of her own, leaving it only to meet the few whom she trusted and loved. Amy, though the youngest, was a most important person – in her own opinion at least. A real snow maiden³, with blue eyes and yellow hair curling on her shoulders, pale and slim and always carrying herself like a young lady remembering her manners. What the characters of the four sisters were we will leave to be found later.
