He realises that he has fallen in love with Jo. So he proposed Joe for marriage and Joe rejects it and tells him that he will love him as his brother. Whereas he transfers his affection for her sister Amy. So Laurie confirms the name of the march sisters who were Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy.

ii. Jo expressed her feeling about grandpa that he had kind eyes and good heart but he was not very handsome like her grandfather. She didn’t know that Laurie’s grandpa was listening her talk.
