Because we've befriended her for years is the very reason we should not make our benefits a burden, but leave her free, and if she chooses to do this in spite of Archie, we must let her with a Godspeed.
正因为我们多年来一直帮助她,才更不该让恩惠成为负担,而应让她自由选择。如果她仍决定这样做,不顾阿奇的心意,我们也必须祝福她,让她走。
— Louisa May Alcott · Rose in Bloom (1876) · Uncle Alec —
