Did They Pay You, Father?Amos Bronson Alcott, father of Louisa May Alcott, came home one winter night from a job. The family really needed the money to carry them through. They greeted their tired father, then May finally asked if they had paid him.
I Call That Doing Very Well
Bronson pulled out a single dollar bill and apologized, saying he'd do better next time. His wife threw her arms around him and said, "I call
that doing very well."I was excited to do this series, having seen "Little Women," which is based so closely upon Louisa's life. I have always wanted to paint a warm interior with a cold exterior, something I am still
working at perfecting.
