Answers
Answer:
The girls planned to surprise their mother on Christmas by gifting her
different things. Meg decided to present her a nice pair of gloves, Jo a pair
of army shoes, Beth some handkerchiefs, all hemmed and Amy wanted to
give Marmee a bottle of cologne. They had decided to put all their things
on a table and bring her in and see her open the bundles. They would
pretend as if they were getting things for themselves and then surprise
her with the beautiful presents. They decided to go for shopping in the
afternoon the next day to buy gifts. The girls’ eagerness showed that they
were unconditionally attached to her and were willing to forego what
they would like to get for themselves.
