`` Yes , we are . Now do be still , and stop bothering . '' Amy held her tongue , but used her eyes , and saw Meg slip a fan into her pocket . `` I know ! I know ! You 're going to the theater to see the Seven Castles ! '' she cried , adding resolutely , `` and I shall go , for Mother said I might see it , and I 've got my rag money , and it was mean not to tell me in time . '' `` Just listen to me a minute , and be a good child , '' said Meg soothingly . `` Mother does n't wish you to go this week , because your eyes are not well enough yet to bear the light of this fairy piece . Next week you can go with Beth and Hannah , and have a nice time . '' `` I do n't like that half as well as going with you and Laurie . Please let me . I 've been sick with this cold so long , and shut up , I 'm dying for some fun . Do , Meg ! I 'll be ever so good , '' pleaded Amy , looking as pathetic as she could . `` Suppose we take her . I do n't believe Mother would mind , if we bundle her up well , '' began Meg . `` If she goes I sha n't , and if I do n't , Laurie wo n't like it , and it will be very rude , after he invited only us , to go and drag in Amy . I should think she 'd hate to poke herself where she is n't wanted , '' said Jo crossly , for she disliked the trouble of overseeing a fidgety child when she wanted to enjoy herself . Her tone and manner angered Amy , who began to put her boots on , saying , in her most aggravating way , `` I shall go .
Meg says I may , and if I pay for myself , XXXXX has n't anything to do with it . ''
