13 Laurie makes trouble and Jo makes peace(3)

　　'I never saw the letter before！'said Jo．'But Mr Brooke wouldn't write stupid things like that．'
　　'It's like his writing，'said Meg unhappily， looking at the second letter in her hand．
　　'Oh，Meg，you didn't answer it？'said Mrs March．
　　'Yes，I did！'cried Meg，hiding her face again．
　　'Let me get that wicked boy！'shouted Jo．
　　Mrs March sat beside Meg．'Tell me everything．'
　　'Laurie brought the first letter，'said Meg．'He didn't seem to know anything about it． I was going to tell you， but I remembered how you liked Mr Brooke and thought it would be all right to keep my little secret for a while．Now I can never look him in the face again．'

“我以前从来也没见过这封信！”琼说。“可布鲁克先生不会说像这样的蠢话。”
　　“这像他的笔迹，”麦格看着她手上的第二封信。”
　　“噢，麦格，你没回这封信吧？”马奇太太问。
　　“不，我回了！”麦格哭着说，又把头埋进双手里。
　　“让我抓住那个坏男孩！”琼大喊。
　　马奇太太坐在麦格耳边：“把一切都告诉我。”
　　“罗瑞带来了第一封信，”麦格说，“他看上去什么都不知道。我本来想告诉你，可我记得你是那么喜欢布鲁克先生，就想，让我自己把这个小秘密保守一段时间也没关系。现在我再也不能面对他了。”
