Here's mine!' and Amy waved her pencil. ¡¡¡¡`I haven't got any,' said Meg, forlornly. ¡¡¡¡`Yes, you have,' said Laurie at once. ¡¡¡¡`Where?' ¡¡¡¡`In your face.' ¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡`Nonsense; that's of no use.' ¡¡¡¡`Wait and see if it doesn't bring you something worth having,' replied the boy, laughing at the thought of a charming little secret which he fancied he knew. ¡¡¡¡Meg coloured behind the brake, but asked no questions, and looked across the river with the same expectant expression which Mr. Brooke had worn when he told the story of the knight. ¡¡¡¡`If we are all alive ten years hence, let's meet, and see how many of us have got our wishes, or how much nearer we are then than now,' said Jo, always ready with a plan. ¡¡¡¡`Bless me! how old I shall be - twenty-seven!' exclaimed Meg, who felt grown up already, having just reached seventeen. ¡¡¡¡`You and I will be twenty-six, Teddy, Beth twenty-four, and Amy twenty-two. What a venerable party!' said Jo. ¡¡¡¡`I hope I shall have done something to be proud of by that time; but I'm such a lazy dog, I'm afraid I shall "dawdle", Jo.' ¡¡¡¡`You need a motive, Mother says; and when you get it she is sure you'll work splendidly.' ¡¡¡¡`Is she? By Jupiter! I will, if I only get the chance!' cried Laurie, sitting up with sudden energy. `I ought to be satisfied to please Grandfather, and I do try, but it's working against the grain, you see, and comes hard. He wants me to be an India merchant, as he was, and I'd rather be shot. I hate tea and silk and spices, and every sort of rubbish his old ships bring, and I don't care how soon they go to the bottom when I own them. Going to college ought to satisfy him, for if I give him four years he ought to let me off from business; but he's set, and I've got to do just as he did, unless I break away and please myself, as my father did. If there was anyone left to stay with the old gentleman, I'd do it tomorrow.'
