About this story
You play Jo — who scorches Meg's curls with the tongs, opens an editor's letter with a hundred-dollar cheque inside it, and is the one sent for when the telegram comes from Washington. Marmee is on the other side of every conversation, including the ones about Beth.
Who you’ll meet
Marmee, Beth and Amy — the reader is Jo.
How it opens
Meg, Beth, Amy, and you sat by a small fire,
with four silver dollars laid apart on the worn parlor rug.
MegWe have one dollar each.
MegEven four such fortunes will not make Christmas magnificent.
A dollar each leaves very little room for joy.
MegThen we must decide what sort of joy deserves the room.
