1. "On New Year's, the parlor was decorated, for the two younger girls dressing masks and the two older ones were dressed in the appropriate costumes of getting ready for the ball."
2. "Simple as the tasks were, there was a great deal of running up and down, laughing and talking, and at one time a strong smell of burned feathers pervaded the house. We wanted a few curls about her head, and Jo undertook to pinch the papered locks with a pair of hot tongs."
3. "‘Ought they to?’ – she fluffed Beth from her perch on the bed."
4. "‘It’s the dampness drying,’ replied Jo."
5. "‘What a small! It’s the burned feathers,’ observed Amy, smoothing her own pretty curls with a superior air."
6. "‘Then, now it’ll take off the papers and you’ll see a cloud of fluff,’ said Jo, pulling down her victim."
7. "She did take off the but no cloud of ringlets appeared, for the heat came with the papers, and the hairdresser laid a row of little scorched bundles on the bureau before her victim."
8. "‘Oh, oh, what have you done? I can’t get my hair on, my half! I walked back, looking with despair at the once frizzed curls on her forehead."
9. "‘Just my luck! You have added to do it. I always spoil everything. I’m so sorry, but I was too late, and so I’ve made a mess,’ groaned poor Jo, regarding the little burnt periwinkles with tears of regret."
10. "‘I just spoiled. Just hope, and be fair. The winds come on your forehead a bit, and I’ll make it right. I’ve seen many girls go in ‘tired’ faces, and I’m sure we’ll fix it for you.’"
11. "‘Serve me right to try to be fine. I wish I’d let my hair alone,’ cried Meg petulantly."
12. "‘So do I; and pretty. But it will soon grow out again,’ said Jo, coming to kiss and comfort the short shorn."
