`` I never cry unless for some great affliction . '' `` Such as fellows going to college , hey ? '' cut in Laurie , with suggestive laugh . `` Do n't be a peacock . I only moaned a trifle to keep the girls company . '' `` Exactly . I say , Jo , how is Grandpa this week ? Pretty amiable ? '' `` Very . Why , have you got into a scrape and want to know how he 'll take it ? '' asked Jo rather sharply . `` Now , Jo , do you think I 'd look your mother in the face and say ` All right ' , if it was n't ? '' and Laurie stopped short , with an injured air . `` No , I do n't . '' `` Then do n't go and be suspicious . I only want some money , '' said Laurie , walking on again , appeased by her hearty tone . `` You spend a great deal , Teddy . '' `` Bless you , I do n't spend it , it spends itself somehow , and is gone before I know it . '' `` You are so generous and kind-hearted that you let people borrow , and ca n't say ` No ' to anyone . We heard about Henshaw and all you did for him .
If you always spent money in that way , no one would blame you , '' said XXXXX warmly .
