Quote context

[...]

- Only I'm tired of making over these same dresses year after year.

- Well, I don't think any of you suffer as I do. You don't have to go to school with impertinent girls who label your father just because he's poor.

- Oh, Amy! If you mean libel, then say so, and stop talking about labels as if Papa was a pickle bottle.

- Well, you needn't be so statirical about it, Jo!

- It's proper to use good words and improve one's vocabilary.

- Vocabilary? Christopher Columbus!

- Jo! Don't use slang words.

- Oh, I just detest rude, unladylike young ladies.

- And I hate affected snips.

- Birds in their little nests agree.

- Oh, I'll never get over my disappointment at not being a boy.

- Look at me! Dying... simply dying! to go and fight at Father's side, and here I am, sitting and knitting... like a poky old woman.

Christopher Columbus! What a breakfast! Look! Kidney pie and sausage! Popovers and... and coffee! And everything!

Well, I am! I'm too proud to beg for anyone. I'd rather sweep the streets than ever come to you again!

Is that why you stand at your window looking at us?
