`` Now , Teddy , I want to talk seriously to you about tomorrow , '' began Jo , as they strolled away together . `` You must promise to behave well , and not cut up any pranks , and spoil our plans . '' `` Not a prank . '' `` And do n't say funny things when we ought to be sober . '' `` I never do . You are the one for that . '' `` And I implore you not to look at me during the ceremony . I shall certainly laugh if you do . '' `` You wo n't see me , you 'll be crying so hard that the thick fog round you will obscure the prospect . '' `` 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 , XXXXX , do you think I 'd look your mother in the face and say ` All right ' , if it was n't ? ''
