Why dont you learn？replied Miss Kate．She was a little older than the other girls and was very much the fashionable young lady．

She said no more，but her face showed that she thought being a private teacher was little better than being a servant，and Megs cheeks quickly became red．
她什么也沒說，可從她臉上的表情可以看出她認為做家庭教師僅僅比做仆人好一些。麥格的臉很快變紅了。
In America，young ladies prefer to work and earn money for themselves，said Mr Brooke quickly，and not expect others to pay for everything．

I have no family，and not many friends to care if I live or die，said Mr Brooke，sadly．
我沒有家，也沒有許多朋友在乎我的死活，布魯克先生傷感地說。
Laurie and his grandfather would care，said Meg，and we would all be very sorry if anything happened to you．

Thank you，said Mr Brooke，cheering up immediately．
