And I 'm never to be bothered about money or business , but just enjoy myself and live for what I like . That 's my favorite castle . What 's yours , Meg ? '' Margaret seemed to find it a little hard to tell hers , and waved a brake before her face , as if to disperse imaginary gnats , while she said slowly , `` I should like a lovely house , full of all sorts of luxurious things -- nice food , pretty clothes , handsome furniture , pleasant people , and heaps of money . I am to be mistress of it , and manage it as I like , with plenty of servants , so I never need work a bit . How I should enjoy it ! For I would n't be idle , but do good , and make everyone love me dearly . '' `` Would n't you have a master for your castle in the air ? '' asked Laurie slyly . `` I said ` pleasant people ' , you know , '' and Meg carefully tied up her shoe as she spoke , so that no one saw her face . `` Why do n't you say you 'd have a splendid , wise , good husband and some angelic little children ? You know your castle would n't be perfect without , '' said blunt Jo , who had no tender fancies yet , and rather scorned romance , except in books . `` You 'd have nothing but horses , inkstands , and novels in yours , '' answered Meg petulantly . `` Would n't I though ? I 'd have a stable full of Arabian steeds , rooms piled high with books , and I 'd write out of a magic inkstand , so that my works should be as famous as Laurie 's music . I want to do something splendid before I go into my castle , something heroic or wonderful that wo n't be forgotten after I 'm dead . I do n't know what , but I 'm on the watch for it , and mean to astonish you all some day . I think I shall write books , and get rich and famous , that would suit me , so that is my favorite dream . '' `` Mine is to stay at home safe with Father and Mother , and help take care of the family , '' said Beth contentedly . `` Do n't you wish for anything else ? ''
