I am not sure, but I think it was because his son, Laurie's father, married an Italian lady, a musician, which displeased the old man, who is very proud. The lady was good and lovely and accomplished, but he did not like her, and never saw his son after he married. They both died when Laurie was a little child, and then his grandfather took him home. I fancy the boy, who was born in Italy, is not very strong, and the old man is afraid of losing him, which makes him so careful. Laurie comes naturally by his love of music, for he is like his mother, and I dare say his grandfather fears that he may want to be a musician; at any rate, his skill reminds him of the woman he did not like, and so he "glowered", as Jo said.'

¡¡¡¡`Dear me, how romantic!' exclaimed Meg. ¡¡¡¡`How silly!' said Jo. `Let him be a musician, if he wants to, and not plague his life out sending him to college, when he hates to go.' ¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡`'That's why he has such handsome black eyes and pretty manners, I suppose. Italians are always nice,' said Meg, who was a little sentimental. ¡¡¡¡`What do you know about his eyes and his manners? You never spoke to him, hardly,' cried Jo, who was not sentimental. ¡¡¡¡`I saw him at the party, and what you tell shows that he knows how to behave. That was a nice little speech about the medicine Mother sent him.' ¡¡¡¡`He meant the blancmange, I suppose.' ¡¡¡¡`How stupid you are, child! He meant you, of course.' ¡¡¡¡`Did he?' and Jo opened her eyes as if it had never occurred to her before.
