Better

Professor Bhaer
Spoken: Miss March, I spoke my mind,
as you spoke yours. Obviously, it was
not appreciated on either side.

Jo
Spoken: Obvioulsy! My stories were a great success in Concord.

Better?
Better than what?
Better than this dazzling plot?
Better?
This story will be my 'King Lear.'

Each phrase is better.
Better than him.
Better! Even my smallest whim
Is better!
How can he miss what's so clear?
How can I do better than what's
Already here?

How can what he said to me be true?
If I don't succeed, what will I do?
Turn around, go back to Concord?
Leave New York behind
Unconquered? No!
How dare he make me doubt
The way I feel?
Dobt that each thrilling page
Is who i am?

Aren't these words alive
With passion,
Vivid as my attic where it all began?

Amy
Spoken: Jo! Jo, the girls at school were horrible to me! Charlotte Fenton
said my dress is ragged and my
nose is flat!

Meg
Spoken: Jo, I hate being a governess. I should
be meeting eligible young men.

Amy
Spoken: It's going to be a dismal Christmas:
what with Father away and no money
for presents.

Beth
Spoken: Meg, Amy- Jo has a surprise for us.

Jo
Or was I better, better when
I was home?
