Also in return for his great kindness in the hour of affliction any one of my artistic works he likes , Noter Dame is the best . To our venerable benefactor Mr. Laurence I leave my purple box with a looking glass in the cover which will be nice for his pens and remind him of the departed girl who thanks him for his favors to her family , especially Beth . I wish my favorite playmate Kitty Bryant to have the blue silk apron and my gold-bead ring with a kiss . To Hannah I give the bandbox she wanted and all the patchwork I leave hoping she ` will remember me , when it you see ' . And now having disposed of my most valuable property I hope all will be satisfied and not blame the dead . I forgive everyone , and trust we may all meet when the trump shall sound . Amen .

Did anyone tell you about Beth 's giving away her things ? '' asked Laurie soberly , as Amy laid a bit of red tape , with sealing wax , a taper , and a standish before him . She explained and then asked anxiously , `` What about Beth ? '' `` I 'm sorry I spoke , but as I did , I 'll tell you . She felt so ill one day that she told Jo she wanted to give her piano to Meg , her cats to you , and the poor old doll to Jo , who would love it for her sake . She was sorry she had so little to give , and left locks of hair to the rest of us , and her best love to Grandpa . She never thought of a will . '' Laurie was signing and sealing as he spoke , and did not look up till a great tear dropped on the paper .
XXXXX 's face was full of trouble , but she only said , `` Do n't people put sort of postscripts to their wills , sometimes ? ''
