Quotes
-
Reverend Robert Alden : [to Laura] Are you all right, child?
Laura Ingalls : I wanted to ask you a question.
Reverend Robert Alden : Well, certainly. Come sit down, right here by me. Now, what question?
Laura Ingalls : It's about the sermon today.
Reverend Robert Alden : Well, I'm happy to hear you were listening. I'm afraid some folks don't.
Laura Ingalls : What can God do?
Reverend Robert Alden : [pause] I don't think I know what you mean.
Laura Ingalls : Well, you said that God can make all things possible.
Reverend Robert Alden : Yes, that's right.
Laura Ingalls : Like what things? You mean miracles?
Reverend Robert Alden : Yes, sometimes even miracles.
Laura Ingalls : How could you get a miracle?
Reverend Robert Alden : Well, Laura, there's no way to guarantee that.
Laura Ingalls : But there would be a chance if you prayed hard enough.
Reverend Robert Alden : Yes, if you prayed really, really hard. You see, the closer you are to God, the more likely He is to listen.
Laura Ingalls : The closer you are...
Reverend Robert Alden : That's right.
Laura Ingalls : Thank you, Reverend Alden.

Laura Ingalls : [to Mary about the new baby] Do you want a brother or a sister?
Mary Ingalls : I don't care.
Laura Ingalls : Pa wants a boy, you know.
Mary Ingalls : How do you know that?
Laura Ingalls : Because every time he talked about the baby at supper, he said "him" or "he." That's how I know.
Mary Ingalls : Well, only God knows if it's a boy or a girl, so you might as well get some sleep.
Laura Ingalls : I hope God wants a girl.

Mary Ingalls : [to Laura] You forgot the special prayer for Charles. Ma asked us to.
Laura Ingalls : I don't have to.
Mary Ingalls : Don't you even care about your own brother?
Laura Ingalls : Pa cared enough for all of us, but that's all he cares about anymore.
Mary Ingalls : That's not true and you know it!
Laura Ingalls : It is too true. I asked God for a sister, and He didn't listen. So now I don't care.
Mary Ingalls : You take that back or I'll tell Pa!
Laura Ingalls : Go ahead. He won't listen. He'll be too busy playing with our brother. Go on. Tell him, you'll see.
