Quotes 

• Harriet Oleson : Oh... You know, I just thought of something! Well, Nellie has two pairs of shoes that are practically like perfectly new and she has grown right out of them. And I was going to give them to the needy in Mankato, but I think I should give them to the needy right here in Walnut Grove.

  Caroline Ingalls : That's very kind of you, Mrs. Olsen, I'm sure. But we'll take these we picked out.

  Harriet Oleson : Well, I always say Mrs. Ingalls, that charity does begin at home.

  Caroline Ingalls : We don't need charity, Mrs. Olsen.

  Harriet Oleson : Well, what do you call it when you come in here and charge things? I mean, everything you see in this store we have paid for.

  Caroline Ingalls : I know that, Mrs. Olsen.

  Harriet Oleson : Well then I don't see where beggars can afford to be choosers.

  Caroline Ingalls : Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Olsen. We'll be back when we can pay for these in cash!
