Chapter three is called ''The Laurence Boy.'' Meg and Jo got an invitation to go to a dance on New Year's Eve at their next door neighbor's house. Jo had a burn in the back of her party dress but no one noticed. Jo felt out of place because she didn't know anybody so she went to hide behind the curtains. The Laurence boy was already hiding there for the same reason. They talked about how her cat always ran away and he always brought it back. His name is Laurie and they never knew that before. Meg sprained her ankle dancing in her high heeled shoes. The Laurence boy took Meg and Jo home in a horse-drawn carriage and it made them feel elegant and festive. I loved this chapter because it is so romantic like when Jo and the Laurence boy got to dance.
