“That was a very happy breakfast, though they didn’t get any of it; and when they went away, leaving comfort behind, I think there were not in all the city four merrier people than the hungry little girls who gave away their breakfasts and contended themselves with bread and milk on Christmas morning.”
Little Women – Louisa M. Alcott
The Little Women, is and had been my favourite book while growing up 🙂
It feels good to see this quote, it is one of my favourites in the book.

🙂 Great, thank you. I’m 34 and I’ve just read the book for the first time. Loved it. It captures perfectly such an innocent time. A comforting book to say the least.
