Anne Gee Byrd: Mrs. Hobson

Quotes 

• Laura Ingalls : Ma'am, I'm a poor child, and I need your help. My mother died. My Pa's real, real sick.

  Mrs. Hobson : Well, that's terrible!

  Laura Ingalls : Yes ma'am. And my two baby sisters are starving from hunger.

  Mrs. Hobson : I've never heard of such a thing!

  Laura Ingalls : It's really sad, ma'am. And that's why I'm doing all I can to help. That's why I'm selling Dr. Briskin's Homeopathic Remedies.

  Mrs. Hobson : Selling? You?

  Laura Ingalls : Yes ma'am. This one sells colic quick as a scat. And this one is for diseases of the heart. And this one is for stomach troubles. Any disease that you have I've got the cure for.

  Mrs. Hobson : If that's true, why is it your mother's dead and your father's sick?

  Laura Ingalls : Well... You see...

  Mrs. Hobson : Aren't you one of the Ingalls' girls?

  Laura Ingalls : Yes ma'am.

  Mrs. Hobson : I saw your mother this morning and she looked in very good health.
