  I want my daughters to be beautiful, accomplished, and good; to be admired, loved, and respected; to have a happy youth, to be well and wisely married, and to lead useful, pleasant lives, with as little care and sorrow to try them as God sees fit to send. To be loved and chosen by a good man is the best and sweetest thing which can happen to a woman; and I sincerely hope my girls may know this beautiful experience. It is natural to think of it, Meg; right to hope and wait for it, and wise to prepare for it; so that, when the happy time comes, you may feel ready for the duties and worthy of the joy. My dear girls, I am ambitious for you, but not to have you make a dash in the world - marry rich men merely because they are rich, or have splendid houses, which are not homes because love is wanting. Money is a needful and precious thing - and, when well used, a noble thing - but I never want you to think of it as the first or only prize to strive for. I\'d rather see you poor men\'s wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace.\'

  Mrs. March let Meg never repeat that foolish gossip, and forget it as soon as you can. she think her is very unwise to let her daughter go to the home. she has the plan as Moffats said, but a little different.

  Mrs. March held the girls' hands, looked thoughtfully into the young faces, and said in a grave, brisk voice --" I hope my daughters are beautiful, kind, and accomplished; To be loved and respected; Happy youth, happy marriage. May god be kind enough to make them as carefree as possible and live a happy and meaningful life. To be loved by a good man and chosen as his wife is the greatest happiness of a woman's life, and I fervently hope that my girls will experience this beautiful experience. It is natural to think of such things, Meg, and it is right to expect and wait, and it is wise to be ready, so that when the happy moment comes, you will feel ready to take responsibility and live up to the happiness. My dear daughters, I have high hopes for you, but I do not expect you to rush about -- to marry rich people just because they are rich and beautiful houses, which are not homes because there is no love in them. Money is a necessary and precious thing -- a noble thing, if used youdao -- but I never want you to think of it as the first or only thing to strive for. I would rather have you as wives of a poor man with love and happiness than as queens with no pride and no peace."

  "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." "It's perfectly natural, and there's no harm in it if it doesn't cause you to do something stupid or something a girl shouldn't do. Learn to recognize and value compliments, and use humility and beauty to inspire great people to respect you, Meg." "Yes, my dear, there are many; Every mother has her own plan, but I'm afraid mine is a little different from Mrs. Moffat's. Part of it, I'll tell you, is that it's time to have a serious talk with you, to put your little romantic thoughts on the straight and narrow. You are young, Meg, but not so young as not to understand me. Mother is the best person to tell you that. Joe, maybe it will be your turn soon. Let's hear about my 'plan' too. If it's a good plan, help me carry it out."
