I seem to be in her thoughts all the time. It is because she loves Ned so much, of course; but it is just as kind of her." "I think she loves you almost as much as Ned," said Clover. "Oh, she couldn\'t do that; Ned is her only brother. There is Amy at the gate now." It was a much taller Amy than had come home from Italy the year before who was walking toward them under the budding locust-boughs. Roman fever had seemed to quicken and stimulate all Amy\'s powers, and she had grown very fast during the past year. Her face was as frank and childlike as ever, and her eyes as blue; but she was prettier than when she went to Europe, for her cheeks were pink, and the mane of waving hair which framed them in was very becoming. The hair was just long enough now to touch her shoulders; it was turning br
