I earned it , and I do n't think you 'll blame me , for I only sold what was my own . '' As she spoke , Jo took off her bonnet , and a general outcry arose , for all her abundant hair was cut short . `` Your hair ! Your beautiful hair ! '' `` Oh , Jo , how could you ? Your one beauty . '' `` My dear girl , there was no need of this . '' `` She does n't look like my Jo any more , but I love her dearly for it ! '' As everyone exclaimed , and Beth hugged the cropped head tenderly , Jo assumed an indifferent air , which did not deceive anyone a particle , and said , rumpling up the brown bush and trying to look as if she liked it , `` It does n't affect the fate of the nation , so do n't wail , Beth . It will be good for my vanity , I was getting too proud of my wig . It will do my brains good to have that mop taken off . My head feels deliciously light and cool , and the barber said I could soon have a curly crop , which will be boyish , becoming , and easy to keep in order . I 'm satisfied , so please take the money and let 's have supper . '' `` Tell me all about it , Jo . I am not quite satisfied , but I ca n't blame you , for I know how willingly you sacrificed your vanity , as you call it , to your love . But , my dear , it was not necessary , and I 'm afraid you will regret it one of these days , '' said Mrs. March . `` No , I wo n't ! '' returned Jo stoutly , feeling much relieved that her prank was not entirely condemned . `` What made you do it ? '' asked Amy , who would as soon have thought of cutting off her head as her pretty hair .
`` Well , I was wild to do something for Father , '' replied XXXXX , as they gathered about the table , for healthy young people can eat even in the midst of trouble .
