No. No one makes their own way.

Not really.

Least of all, a woman.
You'll need to marry well.

00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,319
- But you are not married.
- That's because I'm rich.
516
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,631
And I made sure
to keep hold of my money.
517
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,157
Unlike your father.
518
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:46,199
So the only way to be
an unmarried woman is to be rich?

Yes.

No. So you can live a better life
than your poor mother has.

Your father cared more about educating freedmen's children

You look beautiful.

You are beautiful.

Hmm.

I've missed you.

This is Fred Vaughn and his sister, Kate.

This is Meg, Amy, Beth, and Jo.

- Oh, how elegant.

I'm Amy March. You remember that name.
I'm gonna come find you one day in London.

01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:48,200

- Well...
- Sorry.

I know something you don't know.
1007
01:08:20,440 --> 01:08:23,638
- Tell me this second.
- Has Meg perhaps mislaid a glove?

- Mr. Brooke has it!
- Yes.
1009

- How do you know?
- I saw it.
1010
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:28,680
- Where?
- In his pocket.

- All this time?
- Yes. Isn't it romantic?

- No, it's horrid.
- I thought you'd be pleased.

At the idea of anybody coming
to take Meg away? No, thank you.
1014
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,832
Ah. You'll feel better when somebody comes
to take you away.

JO: "We could never have
loved the earth so well

if we had had no childhood
in it,

I love to listen
to you read, Jo,

but I just love it better when you read
the stories you've written.

01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,278
I don't have any new stories.

You have a pencil and paper.
Sit here and write me something.

I can't.

It's just... no one even cares
to hear my stories anyway.

Do it for someone else.

there's a Mrs. Sewall in Keene, New Hampshire,

No offense meant,
but you should still be ashamed.

Do you have sons in the Army?

Yes, ma'am. I had four.

But two were killed,
and one is a prisoner.

- HANNAH: Yes, I did.

- Of course.

- If I may be of any more assistance, please tell me.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I came to offer myself as escort to your mother.

in Washington,

It will be a difficult winter for everyone.

for the train?

Aunt March to be so generous.

I couldn't bear to.

of the nation, so don't wail.

as well stay and plague you a little longer.
