LITTLE WOMEN

SUMMARY OF THE STORY

"The first of june, and the King family is going on holiday tomorrow!" said Meg. "I'm free for three months!" Aunt March went away for her holiday today too. Next day, Meg appeared at ten o'clock and ate breakfast alone. It was a lonely meal and the room was untidy, because Beth had not cleaned it. Jo went to the river with Laurie, then sat in the apple tree and read a book. Beth went to her piano, glad that she did not have to wash the cups and plates. Amy sat in the garden to draw. She went for a walk, got caught in the rain and came home very wet. Everyone said that it had been a delightful but unusually long day. The week seemed to get longer and longer with nothing much to do, and by Friday the girls were glad that it was nearly over. Mrs March gave Hannah a holiday, and when the girls got up Saturday, there was no breakfast ready, no fire in the kitchen, and no mother waiting for them. They had to look after themselves. They prepared the table. But the cooking was poor. Some days later, all four girls went on a picnic with Laurie and his tutor, Mr Brooke, and some other young people. It was a sunny day and they had their picnic on a hill, under some tree.
