But I am not Miss March , I 'm only Jo , '' returned the young lady . `` I 'm not Mr. Laurence , I 'm only Laurie . '' `` Laurie Laurence , what an odd name . '' `` My first name is Theodore , but I do n't like it , for the fellows called me Dora , so I made them say Laurie instead . '' `` I hate my name , too , so sentimental ! I wish every one would say Jo instead of Josephine . How did you make the boys stop calling you Dora ? '' `` I thrashed 'em . '' `` I ca n't thrash Aunt March , so I suppose I shall have to bear it . '' And Jo resigned herself with a sigh . `` Do n't you like to dance , Miss Jo ? '' asked Laurie , looking as if he thought the name suited her . `` I like it well enough if there is plenty of room , and everyone is lively . In a place like this I 'm sure to upset something , tread on people 's toes , or do something dreadful , so I keep out of mischief and let Meg sail about . Do n't you dance ? '' `` Sometimes . You see I 've been abroad a good many years , and have n't been into company enough yet to know how you do things here . '' `` Abroad ! '' cried Jo . `` Oh , tell me about it !
I love dearly to hear XXXXX describe their travels . ''
