¡¡¡¡`Begging your pardon, ma'am, it wasn't a billiard saloon, but a gymnasium, and I was taking a lesson in fencing.' ¡¡¡¡`I'm glad of that.' ¡¡¡¡`Why?' ¡¡¡¡`You can teach me, and then when we play Hamlet, you can be Laertes, and we'll make a fine thing of the fencing scene.' ¡¡¡¡Laurie burst out with a hearty boy's laugh, which made several passers-by smile in spite of themselves. ¡¡¡¡`I'll teach you, whether we play Hamlet or not; it's grand fun, and will straighter, you up capitally. But I don't believe that was your reason for saying "I'm glad", in that decided way; was it, now?' ¡¡¡¡`No, I was glad that you were not in the saloon, because I hope you never go to such places. Do you?' ¡¡¡¡`Not often.' ¡¡¡¡`I wish you wouldn't.' ¡¡¡¡`It's no harm, Jo. I have billiards at home, but it's no fun unless you have good players, so, as I'm fond of it, I come sometimes and have a game with Ned Moffat or some of the other fellows.' ¡¡¡¡`Oh dear, I'm so sorry, for you'll get to liking it better and better, and will waste time and money, and grow like those dreadful boys. I did hope you'd stay respectable, and be a satisfaction to your friends,' said Jo, shaking her head. ¡¡¡¡`Can't a fellow take a little innocent amusement now and then without losing his respectability?' asked Laurie, looking nettled. ¡¡¡¡`That depends upon how and where he takes it. I don't like Ned and his set, and wish you'd keep out of it. Mother won't let us have him at our house, though he wants to come; and if you grow like him she won't be willing to have us frolic together as we do now.' ¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡`Won't she?' asked Laurie, anxiously.
