Cassandra Cooper Ingalls
- Charles Ingalls: Cassandra, what on Earth did you say to Mrs. Oleson?
- Cassandra Cooper Ingalls: She asked me how I liked living with you and Ma, and I told her I loved you like you were my real folks. And the next thing I knew, she was running around yelling for hot water!
- Caroline Ingalls: Cassandra, it's your turn to say grace tonight. Maybe you could remember Nancy in the blessing.
- Cassandra Cooper Ingalls: Do I have to?
- Caroline Ingalls: No, you don't have to, but I think it would be nice if you did.
- Cassandra Cooper Ingalls: Yes, ma'am. Dear Lord, thank you for all your blessings. Please watch over our family and gives us strength. And Lord, I'm sure you know by now that we have a new student in school. Her name is Nancy. Please help her change her ways and be nice. I know it won't be easy, so if you can't change her, just do what you feel is best.
- [Charles bursts out laughing, Caroline gives him a dirty look]
- Cassandra Cooper Ingalls: That's about it, Lord. Thank you. Amen.
- Charles Ingalls: [to Harriet] Cassandra heard you weren't feeling very well and she wanted to just come by and visit for a while.
- Harriet Oleson: Oh, how nice! What a sweet little girl. Want to come over here and sit by me?
- Cassandra Cooper Ingalls: [sits on the edge of the bed] I have a storybook here. I can read it to you if you'd like.
- Harriet Oleson: Oh, well, I think that would be very nice.
- Charles Ingalls: All right, well, I've got to get back to the mill.
- Harriet Oleson: Okay, Mr. Ingalls. We'll be just fine.
- Cassandra Cooper Ingalls: [after Charles leaves] What kind of story do you want me to read: happy or sad?
- Harriet Oleson: Oh, well, what do you think?
- Cassandra Cooper Ingalls: Well, when I'm sad, I like to read a really sad story because then I don't feel so sad myself.
- Harriet Oleson: Oh, why, I never thought of it that way! Well, then, why don't you tell me a really sad story?
