“Jo jerks awake to find Beth gone— she goes downstairs and sees Marmee there. Jo looks at Marmee, and her mother, for the first time in Jo’s life, breaks. Jo becomes the parent at that moment, comforting her mother, who is trapped in the unimaginable pain of losing a child.” —Little Women (2019), Greta Gerwig
“You must take my place, Jo, and be everything to Father and Mother when I’m gone.” —Little Women (1868), Louisa May Alcott

One of Lawrence's favorite parts about Queenstown was the shops lining the coast. It wasn't as bustling as the streets of busy London that Winifred grew up with but it was certainly busier than what he was used to.
His favorite shop in particular though was the used bookstore. After Winifred had flown through nearly every book at the cottage, he was thankful for the cheaper prices and being able to provide with new and exciting stories.
While browsing books one day, he could hardly believe his eyes as he gazed into the window of the little shop. 'Could it really be?', he thought to himself, 'it truly is! A used typewriter!'
New ones had always been far too expensive, and the ones that weren't, never seemed good enough when he browsed the catalogs. It had been far too long since he'd seen Winifred get lost in her writing and this was just the thing to help her find her spark again.
As he entered inside he was greeted by the shopkeeper he'd become friendly with, Maragret March, who preferred to be called Marmee instead.
Smiling warmly, she came around the counter. "What is Mrs. Baudelaire getting-" She stopped herself, puzzled when she noticed there wasn't any book in his hands.
"The typewriter in the window... oh Marmee, it's perfect! How much is the asking price?" He enthused.
Grinning at his enthusiasm, she went on to explain it would only be €45, almost half the price of a new one. "I'm afraid though Lawrence, she needs some work done."
Lawrence's heart dropped when he realized what she meant. It wasn't in working condition, hence such a low price. After a bit of back and forth, he soon realized it would cost far too much for repairs and it was a task too far outside his respected skillset.
He thanked her for her time but couldn't keep the hint of disappointment from lingering in his tone before making his exit, completely forgetting to even purchase Winifred a new book.
"Mr. Baudelaire, wait!" Marmee called after him, finding him out on the cobblestone. Sighing, she put her hands on her hips, knowing she would never hear the end of it when she told her girls about what she was about to do.
She offered to sell him the typewriter as is, cover the cost of repairs herself and return to him as good as new. "My Jo, she's a writer too...I know how important this is." She explained.
It was such a generous offer, he almost couldn't bring himself to accept. After all, she had four girls to support and this would be an incredible loss for them.
But when he thought of his own wife, the passion that rose within her with a quill in her hand, he couldn't refuse it.

"Jo loved Laurie! they were meant to be!"
As much as I loved Laurie and Jo's dynamic, Jo never loved Laurie romantically, it's even clearer in the books. She did have an intense amount of love for him, but it was strictly platonical.
After Jo rejected Laurie and he was off abroad, she had a conversation with her mother where she stated that she didn't love him as she should but just wanted to be loved by him.
Jo only wanted to be loved by Laurie because of how lonely she felt, especially after the loss of Beth.

Little Women Mug
“Hope and keep busy; and, whatever happens, remember that you can never be fatherless"
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott ♥️
Marmee, the March girls' mother, provides her daughters with the best advice. As the moral role model for her girls - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, - she counsels them through all of their problems and works hard but happily.
This mug is inspired by this beloved story. It is completely hand shaped, sculpted and painted by me, glazed with trasparent lead free glaze and was fired at 1050 celsius. Holds about 470 ml/ 16 US fluid ounces.

Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.
I'm so sick of it.
But I'm-
I'm
so
lonely.
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott

One of my favorite moments from Little Women (1994) is after Amy gets hit by her teacher and talks about how sexist he is, Jo is pacing and wants to murder him and Marmee is equally as furious but has to be civil, so she says she'll write him a letter and Jo sarcastically retorts "A letter, that'll show him."

On the first day of Summer, Marmee wrote word that the typewriter was finally finished with its repairs. They had cost a bit more than she had expected but she hoped it would be well worth-it.
As a small token of his appreciation, Lawrence brought over a fresh baked dessert cake, purchased from one of the local bakeries there in town, while Marmee served a lovely chamomile tea to pair together deliciously.
"Here she is, Mr. Baudelaire." Marmee's oldest, Meg, said as she brought the typewriter into the dining room. "All fixed up and ready for the Missus." As she handed it over, Lawrence's hands began trembling a little.
He'd waited and kept this secret from Winifred for so long that feeling the weight of it in his hands almost didn't seem real. "I don't know what to say," Lawrence sighed. "Thank you doesn't seem enough."
A warm smile sprawled out on Marmee's face. "Just promise March's will be the first bookstore to sell Mrs. Baudelaire's work. That would be thank you enough." She assured him.
Lawrence gave Marmee a tight hug and Meg, who he'd learned had taken up longer hours to also aid in covering the cost of repairs, a gentle kiss on the cheek before departing.
"You March's are made of everything sweet." He chuckled as he pulled away. "Your generosity won't be forgotten."
