  It was so embarrassing for me. I couldn't help hearing at first, and then I was so angry and ashamed, I didn't remember that I ought to go away.Just wait till I see Annie Moffat, and I'll show you how to settle such ridiculous stuff. The idea of having "plans", and being kind to Laurie because he's rich, and may marry us by and by! Won't he shout when I tell him what those silly things say about us poor children?' and Jo laughed, as if, on second thoughts, the thing struck her as a good joke.Then she told the various bits of gossip she had heard at the Moffats'; and, as she spoke, Jo saw her mother fold her lips tightly, as if ill pleased that such ideas should be put into Meg's innocent mind.`Well, if that isn't the greatest rubbish I ever heard' cried Jo, indignantly. `Why didn't you pop out and tell them so, on the spot.I couldn't, it was so embarrassing for me. I couldn't help hearing at first, and then I was so angry and ashamed, I didn't remember that I ought to go away.Just wait till I see Annie Moffat, and I'll show you how to settle such ridiculous stuff.

  Then she told them what she had heard at the moffat's. Jo saw her mother's lips clenched as she listened, and seemed indignant that such thoughts should be forced into Meg's innocent brain. 'oh, the first time I've heard such shameless nonsense! "Cried Jo indignantly." why didn't you come out on the spot and explain?" "I can't do it. It's embarrassing. At first I overheard it, but then I was so angry and ashamed that I didn't think it was time to go away." "When I see Anne moffat, you'll see how I settle this nonsense! What 'early plans', and what's good for Laurie because his family is rich and will marry us! I'll be surprised if he doesn't scream when I tell him what those silly things say about our poor children!" "Said Jo, laughing, as if it were only a great joke. "Yes, don't repeat such silly gossip, and forget it as soon as you can," said Mrs. March gravely. I can't tell you how sorry I am that this trip may hurt you, Meg." "Don't feel bad. I won't be hurt by it. I will put the bad ones behind me and remember the good ones, because I really enjoyed myself. Thank you very much for letting me go. I will not be sad or dissatisfied, mother. I know I am a silly girl, I will stay with you until I can take care of myself.
