Excerpt from Under the Lilacs HE elm-tree avenue was all overgrown, the great gate was never unlocked, and the Old house had been Shut up for several years. Yet voices were heard about the place, the lilacs nodded over the high wall as if they said, We could tell fine secrets if we chose, and the mullein outside the gate made haste to reach the keyhole, that it might peep in and see what was going on.

They had their tea party in that rundown, ramshackle, and downright creepy house. There were Bab and Betty and most of a dozen of their worn-down dolls, and no matter how worn-down or creepy this place might seem to you and I, for these girls and their dolls, it was the most wonderful place for a party any of them could imagine. Then that monstrous dog had stolen all the food, and by the time they chased it down, it'd eaten the last crumbs! They followed the dog back into the decrepit barn and that was how they met its master, a circus run-away, Ben Brown. Ben turned out to be a horse master.

Alcott early realized that her father could not be counted on as sole support of his family, and so she sacrificed much of her own pleasure to earn money by sewing, teaching, and churning out potboilers. Her reputation was established with Hospital Sketches (1863), which was an account of her work as a volunteer nurse in…

All sorts of neglected flowers and wild weeds grew between their stems, covering the walls of this summer parlor with the prettiest tapestry.
