Little Women Chapter 37

Laurie is walking along a road in Nice, France. A carriage comes by; in it is Amy. She spots Laurie and gets his attention. Laurie gets into her carriage and they ride and catch up on news. Laurie tells her about his grandfather, who is staying in Paris for the winter while Laurie moves around at will.

Amy notices that something is different about Laurie, but she can't put her finger on it. Laurie notices the Amy has been refined and polished by life abroad, and that she is more charming than ever. She lets Laurie read her letters from home and tells him about how her family is doing. She tells him that Beth is getting worse, but her family keeps telling her to stay, so she does.

There is a party that night in Amy's hotel, and Amy dresses nicely for it. Laurie greets her there with flowers and they dance and flirt and get reacquainted with each other.
