`The first of June! The Kings are off to the seashore tomorrow, and I'm free. Three months' vacation - how I shall enjoy it!' exclaimed Meg, coming home one warm day to find Jo laid upon the sofa in an unusual state of exhaustion¹, while Beth took off her dusty boots, and Amy made lemonade for the refreshment² of the whole party.

　　`Aunt March went today, for which, oh, be joyful<sup>3</sup>!' said Jo. `I was mortally afraid she'd ask me to go with her; if she had, I should have felt as if I ought to do it; but Plumfield is about as gay as a churchyard, you know, and I'd rather be excused.

　　`We had a flurry getting the old lady off, and I had a fright every time she spoke⁴ to me, for I was in such a hurry to be through that I was uncommonly⁵ helpful and sweet, and feared she'd find it impossible to part from me. I quaked till she was fairly in the carriage, and had a final fright, for, as it drove off, she popped out her head, saying, "Josyphine, won't you - ?" I didn't hear any more, for I basely turned and fled; I did actually run, and whisked round the corner, where I felt safe.'

　　`Poor old Jo! she came in looking as if bears were after her,' said Beth, as she cuddled her sister's feet with a motherly air.

　　`Aunt March is a regular samphire, is she not?' observed Amy, tasting her mixture critically.

　　`She means vampire⁶, no seaweed; but it doesn't matter; it's too warm to be particular about one's parts of speech,' murmured Jo.

　　`What shall you do all your vacation?' asked Amy, changing the subject, with tact<sup>7</sup>. `I shall lie abed late and do nothing,' replied Meg, from the depths of the rocking-chair. `I've been routed up early all winter, and had to spend my days working for other people; so now I'm going to rest and revel⁸
