`` I want you to read that , please , and tell me if it is legal and right . I felt I ought to do it , for life is uncertain and I do n't want any ill feeling over my tomb . '' Laurie bit his lips , and turning a little from the pensive speaker , read the following document , with praiseworthy gravity , considering the spelling : MY LAST WILL AND TESTIMENT I , Amy Curtis March , being in my sane mind , go give and bequeethe all my earthly property -- viz . to wit : -- namely To my father , my best pictures , sketches , maps , and works of art , including frames . Also my $ 100 , to do what he likes with . To my mother , all my clothes , except the blue apron with pockets -- also my likeness , and my medal , with much love . To my dear sister Margaret , I give my turkquoise ring -LRB- if I get it -RRB- , also my green box with the doves on it , also my piece of real lace for her neck , and my sketch of her as a memorial of her ` little girl ' . To Jo I leave my breastpin , the one mended with sealing wax , also my bronze inkstand -- she lost the cover -- and my most precious plaster rabbit , because I am sorry I burned up her story . To Beth -LRB- if she lives after me -RRB- I give my dolls and the little bureau , my fan , my linen collars and my new slippers if she can wear them being thin when she gets well . And I herewith also leave her my regret that I ever made fun of old Joanna . To my friend and neighbor Theodore Laurence I bequeethe my paper mashay portfolio , my clay model of a horse though he did say it had n't any neck . Also in return for his great kindness in the hour of affliction any one of my artistic works he likes , Noter Dame is the best . To our venerable benefactor Mr. Laurence I leave my purple box with a looking glass in the cover which will be nice for his pens and remind him of the departed girl who thanks him for his favors to her family , especially Beth . I wish my favorite playmate Kitty Bryant to have the blue silk apron and my gold-bead ring with a kiss . To Hannah I give the bandbox she wanted and all the patchwork I leave hoping she ` will remember me , when it you see ' . And now having disposed of my most valuable property I hope all will be satisfied and not blame the dead . I forgive everyone , and trust we may all meet when the trump shall sound . Amen . To this will and testiment I set my hand and seal on this 20th day of Nov. . Anni Domino 1861 .
