'Oh dear，I didn't know any one was here！'Jo said．
The boy laughed．'Don't go． I came in here because I don't know any people， but I think I've seen you before，'he said，'You live near us，don't you？'
'Next door， said Jo．'We enjoyed your nice Christmas present．'
'My grandfather sent it，Miss March．'
'But you gave your grandfather the idea，didn't you， Mr Laurence？
I'm not Mr Laurence，only Laurie，'he said．
'And I'm not Miss March，only Jo，'she said．'Do you like parties？
'Sometimes，'he answered．I've been abroad a lot recent ly，and I don't know how you do things here．'
'Abroad！'said Jo．'Oh，did you go to Paris？'
'We went there last winter．'
'Can you speak French？'she asked．
He said something in French， and Jo listened carefully．'You asked，“Who is the young lady in the pretty slippers？”It's my sister，Meg，and you knew it was！Do you think she's pretty？'
“噢，天哪！我不知道已经有人在这儿，”琼说。
那男孩笑了。“别走。我到这来是因为我谁也不认识。可我想我以前见过你，”他说，“你是不是住在我家附近？”
“隔壁，”琼说。“我们很喜欢你的圣诞礼物。”
“是我祖父送的，马奇小姐。”
“可那是你给你祖父出的主意，是吗，劳伦斯先生？”
“我不是劳伦斯先生，只是罗瑞，”他说。
“我也不是马奇小姐，只是琼，”她说，“你喜欢舞会吗？”
“有的时候喜欢，”他回答说，“我最近常在国外，不知道你们在这儿是怎么做的。”
“国外！”琼问，“噢，你去过巴黎吗？”
“我们去年冬天去的。”
“那你会说法语吗？”她问。
他用法语讲了几句话，琼用心倾听。“你是在问：'那个穿着漂亮舞鞋的女孩子是谁？'那是我姐姐，麦格，你知道的。你觉得她漂亮吗？”

Reflections: Jo is meeting her hero. Will they be friends? At this war time, life is so hard. I wish these girls will make more friends and be happy.
