“Now, what shall we wear?”
“You know we shall wear our cotton dresses because we haven’t anything else,” answered Jo.
“If only (если бы) I had a silk dress,” said Meg. “Our cotton dresses look like silk, and your dress is as good as new; but my dress is torn (порвано) and has a burnt mark (прожженное пятно).”
“Well, Jo, the front (перед) is all right. I shall have a new ribbon (лента) for my hair. My new dancing shoes are lovely, and my gloves are good, but they’re not as nice as I wanted.”
“My gloves are spoilt (испорчены), and I can’t have new gloves, so I shall go without gloves,” said Jo.
“You must (должна) wear gloves, or I won’t go,” said Meg. “Gloves are very important (важный), and you can’t dance without them.”
“Then I won’t dance. I don’t care much for dancing at a party.”
“I’ll tell you what we’ll do — each one of us (каждая из нас) will wear a good glove and carry a bad glove.”
“Your hands (руки) are bigger than my hands, and you will stretch (растянешь) my glove.”
“Then I’ll go without. I don’t care what people say,” cried Jo.
