To be fair, if I were in charge of two hot-tempered children and one of them had just BURNED THE PRECIOUS MANUSCRIPT and the other retaliated by ALMOST LEADING HER TO DROWN
LOL, excellent point! Especially since there are two other daughters to raise as well!
The combinations are fascinating, too -- Jo and Beth are soulmates, but total opposites; Meg and Jo don't really get along but are together as the oldest; Jo's real foil is the pretty and manipulative Amy, who could be the heroine in a more conventional novel. And I don't think Amy and Meg are that close, but they both love the good life, only Meg's marriage pretty much cures her of that.
