I see Mrs. Barker doing up the lunch in a hamper and a great basket . Now Mr. Laurence is looking up at the sky and the weathercock . I wish he would go too . There 's Laurie , looking like a sailor , nice boy ! Oh , mercy me ! Here 's a carriage full of people , a tall lady , a little girl , and two dreadful boys .

Meg , is n't that the man who bowed to you one day when we were shopping ? '' `` So it is . How queer that he should come . I thought he was at the mountains . There is Sallie . I 'm glad she got back in time . Am I all right , Jo ? ''
