Quotes from the book:


“There's no great loss without some small gain.”


“Ma sighed gently and said, 'A whole year gone, Charles.' But Pa answered, cheerfully: 'What's a year amount to? We have all the time there is.'”


“Everything from the little house was in the wagon except the beds and tables and chairs. They did not need to take these, because Pa could always make new ones.”
