Meg: ‘Nat was not man enough, never would be, no one knew his family, a musician’s life was a hard one; Daisy was too young, five or six years hence when time had proved both perhaps. Let us see what absence will do for him.’

Oh, dear.

I'll send Beth a PM. Thank you!

Here's the extra line for Meg - I hope it sounds similar enough!

Oh, don't worry

-- it's not something you would have caught. When I was first typing the info into the MW, I just forgot to mark down that Meg had lines in that chapter.

I'm putting together Chapter 3 and there's a line attributed to Josie that looks like it should be Ann's.

Josie: ‘There are more than two or three. I see half a dozen at least,’

Narrator: called sister Ann from the hall door.

I'm not super familiar with the entire series, so it may be that Josie & Ann are interchangeable, but I don't know if that's the case.

Yes, that's Josie's line. I'm not sure why she calls her "Ann"; I'm guessing we would know if we lived in the 1880s. Alcott mentions a story about a "Sister Ann" in her book Under the Lilacs, too.
