26、know anything about girls,” Louisa May Alcott told her publisher, Mr. Niles. But she was desperate for money. She seemed to be the only one in her family who could make money.

27、 plod away,” Alcott wrote,” though I dont enjoy this sort of thing.” It was 1867, and the horrible Civil War was over.

28、” Our experiences may prove interesting, though I doubt it.”(Good joke,” she wrote years later.) Her book described her days growing up with four sisters in a family that had no money.

30、t thought it seemed better than expected. “Not a bit sensational,” she wrote, “ but simple and true. We really lived most of it .” Niles asked some girls to read Little Women, and they loved it. If the girls liked it, Alcott was satisfied.In three months, all the copies of Little Women had sold. It
31、was already time to print more books! Niles thought he could sell three or four hundred more copies.” An honest publisher and a lucky author made a dull book into a golden egg for an ugly duckling,” Alcott wrote in 1885. Later, with a great sigh of relief, she was able to write, “Paid off all the de

This was not as easy as I had expected, busying myself between credit card and phone with freezing cold fingers, but, by the time I got on the train to Geneva I had an e-ticket and I proudly
46、 showed it to the conductor. Unfortunately she told me that my ticket was not valid. Several weeks later a letter arrived from Swiss railways together with a fine for 190 francs ($ 210).The good people there tell me the formal payment for my ticket from my credit card company arrived four minutes af
