The next day was Sunday, and a goodly troop of young and old setforth to church.--some driving, some walking, all enjoying the lovelyweather and the happy quietude which comes to refresh us when thework and worry of the week are over. Daisy had a headache; and AuntJo remained at home to keep her company, knowing very well that theworst ache was in the tender heart struggling dutifully against thelove that grew stronger as the parting drew nearer.
'Daisy knows my wishes, and I trust her. You must keep an eye on Nat,and let him clearly understand that there is to be no "lovering", orI shall forbid the letter-writing. I hate to seem cruel, but it istoo soon for my dear girl to bind1 herself in any way,' said Mrs Meg,as she rustled2 about in her best grey silk, while waiting for Demi,who always escorted his pious5 mother to church as a peace-offeringfor crossing her wishes in other things.
'I will, dear; I'm lying in wait for all three boys today, like anold spider; and I will have a good talk with each. They know Iunderstand them, and they always open their hearts sooner or later.
You look like a nice, plump little Quakeress, Meg; and no one willbelieve that big boy is your son,' added Mrs Jo, as Demi came inshining with Sunday neatness, from his well-blacked boots to hissmooth brown head.
'You flatter me, to soften7 my heart toward your boy. I know yourways, Jo, and I don't give in. Be firm, and spare me a scene by andby. As for John, as long as he is satisfied with his old mother, Idon't care what people think,' answered Mrs Meg, accepting with asmile the little posy of sweet peas and mignonette Demi brought her.
Then, having buttoned her dove-coloured gloves with care, she tookher son's arm and went proudly away to the carriage, where Amy andBess waited, while Jo called after them, just as Marmee used to do:
'Girls, have you got nice pocket-handkerchiefs?' They all smiled atthe familiar words, and three white banners waved as they drove away,leaving the spider to watch for her first fly. She did not wait long.
Daisy was lying down with a wet cheek on the little hymnbook out ofwhich she and Nat used to sing together; so Mrs Jo strolled about thelawn, looking very like a wandering mushroom with her large buffumbrella.
