Jo's secret, as told to Laurie, is that she has submitted two stories to a local newspaper editor, and she must wait to hear if they have been accepted for publication until the following week. She would have preferred to keep this news a complete secret because she will be so disappointed if they are not accepted, and she did not want anyone else to share in the disappointment. She only tells Laurie because he knows something is up with her anyway, and because he promises to tell her a secret in return: he ends up divulging that Mr. Brooke, his tutor, has been keeping Meg's glove in his pocket for days. Jo, however, does not care for this secret because she does not relish the idea of Meg being "taken away" from her family. Jo wants everything to say just as it is.
