and Accept. From Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, read by Ethan Carter In a British accent, Take one. As young readers like to know how people look, we will take this moment to give them a little sketch off the four sisters who sat knitting away in the twilight while the December snow fell quietly without and the fire crackled cheerfully within. It was a comfortable old room, though the carpet was faded in the furniture, very plain for a good picture or too hung on the walls. Books filled the recesses and chrysanthemums, and the Christmas roses bloomed in the windows, and a pleasant atmosphere of home peace pervaded it. Margaret, the oldest of the four, was 16 and very pretty, being clumping fair with large eyes and plenty of soft brown. Here on a sweet mouth and white hands, of which she was rather vain, 15 year old Joe was very tall, thin and brown and reminded one of a cult, for she never knew what to do with her long limbs, which were very much in a way. She had a decided mouse, a comical nose and sharp grey eyes, which appeared to see everything and whereby turns fierce, funny or thoughtful. Her long, thick hair was her one beauty, but it was usually bundled into a net to be out of the way round. Shoulders had Joe big hands and feet, a flyaway looked to her clothes and the uncomfortable appearance of a girl who was rapidly shooting up into a woman and didn't like it.
