Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5: 30 and at 6: 30 she was expected to be
chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped(絆) over Sheba.
"Hey, Sheba," she said, "I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from
tennis club." Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly
breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet(獸醫(yī)).
When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne
brought her quickly into his office.
"Listen, doctor, I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting. Can I leave her with you, and go and get
changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is
that OK?"
"Sure." said the doctor.
Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering
the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.
"This is Dr. Sterne," said an anxious voice. "I want you to get out of that house immediately," said the
doctor's voice. "I'm coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!"
At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran
into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.
"Where's Sheba? Is she OK?" shouted Joanne.
"She's fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she's OK now." ks5u
Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could
hardly walk. There was blood all over him.
"My God," said Joanne, "how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?"
"I think he must be a burglar." said the doctor. "I knew he was there because when I finally removed
what was stuck in Sheba's throat: it turned out to be three human fingers."

"Glad to find you so merry, my girls," said a cheery voice at the door, and actors and audience turned to
welcome a tall, motherly lady with a "Can I help you" look about her which was truly delightful. She was not
elegantly dressed, but a noble-looking woman, and the girls thought the gray cloak (斗篷) and unfashionable
bonnet (寬檐帽) covered the most splendid mother in the world.
"Well, dearies, how have you got on today? There was so much to do, getting the boxes ready to go
tomorrow, that I didn't come home to dinner. Has anyone called, Beth? How is your cold, Meg? Jo, you look
tired to death. Come and kiss me, baby."
While making these maternal (母性的) inquires, Mrs. March got her wet things off, her warm slippers on,
and sitting down in the easy chair, drew Amy to her lap, preparing to enjoy the happiest hour of her busy day.
The girls flew about, trying to make things comfortable, each in her own way. Meg arranged the tea table.
Jo brought wood and set chairs, dropping, over-turning, and clattering everything she touched. Beth trotted
(小跑) to and fro between parlor (客廳) and kitchen, quiet and busy, while Amy gave directions to everyone,
as she sat with her hands folded.
As they gathered about the table, Mrs. March said, with a particularly happy face,"I've got a treat for you
after supper."
A quick, bright smile went round like a streak of sunshine. Beth clapped her hands, regardless of the biscuit
she held, and Jo tossed up her napkin, crying, "A letter! A letter! Three cheers for Father!"
"Yes, a nice long letter. He is well, and thinks he shall get through the cold season better than we feared. He
sends all sorts of loving wishes for Christmas, and an especial message to you girls," said Mrs. March, patting
her pocket as if she had got a treasure there.
"Hurry and get done! Don't stop to quirk your little finger and simper (傻笑) over your plate, Amy," cried
Jo, choking on her tea and dropping her bread, butter side down, on the carpet in her haste to get at the treat.
Beth ate no more, but crept (躡手躡足地走) away to sit in her shadowy corner and brood (細(xì)想) over the
delight to come, till the others were ready.
"I think it was so splendid in Father to go as chaplain (牧師) when he was too old to be drafted (被征入
伍), and not strong enough for a soldier," said Meg warmly.
"Don't I wish I could go as a drummer? Or a nurse, so I could be near him and help him." exclaimed Jo,
with a groan.
"It must be very disagreeable to sleep in a tent, and eat all sorts of bad-tasting things, and drink out of a tin
mug," sighed Amy.
"When will he come home, Marmee?" asked Beth, with a little quiver in her voice.
"Not for many months, dear, unless he is sick. He will stay and do his work faithfully as long as he can,
and we won't ask for him back a minute sooner than he can be spared. Now come and hear the letter."
They all drew to the fire, Mother in the big chair with Beth at her feet, Meg and Amy perched on either arm
of the chair, and Jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should
happen to be touching. Very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially
those which fathers sent home. In this one little was said of the hardships endured, the dangers faced, or the
homesickness conquered. It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches,
and military news, and only at the end did the writer's heart overflow with fatherly love and longing for the
little girls at home.
