Too Cute in Spots

I love Louisa May Alcott's books. (I think we've already established that!) However, there are certain parts of Under The Lilacs that I find just a bit too cute.
For example, several times LMA refers to the dog, Sancho, as a Bow Wow. I hate to say it, but that almost makes me want to bark, er, barf!

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
