From the Hairpin:

Oh Meg, darling
it’s all over 
Beth is with Father now 
Jo, Father still isn’t dead
really?
I saw him not four hours ago
could have sworn he died at sea
or somewhere

Also from the Hairpin:

claudia have you seen karen
not lately
i can't find her 
like she's not in the house
last i saw her
she was borrowing your glue gun to put rhinestones on her homework like i told her
well what have you been doing for the last hour then
i was enamelling
