Amy and Jo take a walk and along the way meet their neighbor Mr. Laurence. Inviting them to tea, they listen as Laurie plays the beautiful grand piano. They listen with rapture -- but are surprised to see tears well up in his eyes.

Every day Beth goes next door to play Mr. Laurence's piano. She wants to make him a pair of slippers as a gift, but cannot afford the materials. Jo helps her out, giving her the money she needs to make a beautiful pair.

Though Mr. Laurence seems a stern and frightening presence to timid Beth, he is touched and delighted by her music and kindness. In return he gives her a wonderful gift -- a piano which had once belonged to the daughter he had lost.

Laurie invites Jo and Meg to the theater to see a play. Amy is hurt at being left out and decides to get even with Jo. In a fit of anger, she throws Jo's manuscript into the fire, destroying the novel that Jo has worked so long and so hard to write.

Amy and Jo have not spoken since Amy destroyed Jo's manuscript, and Amy is feeling remorseful. When Jo leaves to go ice-skating, Amy runs after her, planning to apologize. But before they work out their differences, Amy falls through the ice.
