Quotes3

  • Ebenezer Sprague: Young lady, I have been fishing for more years than you have been alive! My lures are perfect for this area, and I've read all the books on the matter!
  • Laura Ingalls: Well, maybe the problem is that the fish just haven't read the books.
  • Laura Ingalls: Have you ever had a family?
  • Ebenezer Sprague: No, I never had time.
  • Laura Ingalls: It doesn't take that long. I've been to a wedding in church and it just took a couple minutes.
  • Laura Ingalls: How does a bank make money if they just give it to other folks?
  • Mary Ingalls: Interest.
  • Laura Ingalls: Sure I'm interested. That's why I asked.
  • Mary Ingalls: No silly. I said interest. You have to pay back more than you borrow.
  • Laura Ingalls: Really?
  • Mary Ingalls: Yep.
  • Laura Ingalls: Mary, do you have any money?
  • Mary Ingalls: No. Why?
  • Laura Ingalls: I was thinking I might loan you a penny.
