little house on the prairie laura and almanzo

I would think a fifteen year old boy might enjoy having two girls interested in him. Let’s recap – Cap probably thinks Mary won’t reject the candy or him and Nellie’ throwing herself at him. Laura wonders how Cap can look helpless and pleased at the same time. The next day, Nellie keeps him with her for the rest of recess when he tries to bring candy. Cap stands helplessly before walking out. How Sweet! Nellie intercepts and grabs the candy before he can offer it to Mary.

Before Nellie can respond, Cap comes in with candy for Mary Power. Mary isn’t around so Laura tells Nellie what she thinks of that remark. Nellie points out that her family isn’t so poor that they need Nellie to teach. She only has a little over a year before she can take the teacher’s exam. Nellie works on her sewing while Laura studies. The older girls spend recess watching the boys play outside. The boys have come back to school, chief among them, cute, heroic (remember him, Almanzo and the wheat?) Cap Garland. Miss Wilder has left, and a good teacher has taken her place. They’ve seen each other, but for the first time in this chapter they have a chance to really speak, and forget blizzards, grasshoppers, etc, we have teenage angst as our main problem.

was so soon forgotten.If anyone saw the sign-ups, I pretty much begged for this chapter. It's kind of sad that deceased little Adam Jr. The last scene always bothers me - about Charles and Caroline wanting to be grandparents. Knew were they asked for permission to marry their fifteen year old daughter.

Charles and Caroline weren't asked for permission to test/certify Laura for teaching. The ending to this story is THE moment! It's a sweet scene that will make you cry. Also in the book, Laura wasn't too keen on marrying Almanzo because he was a farmer. I don't remember where he was driving her back and forth from. Like in the show, Almanzo was driving Laura back and forth - but in a sleigh. Laura Ingalls Wilder, in her books, wrote about their courtship. Almanzo doesn't notice until he comes to pick Laura up after a week of teaching and it only gets better from there! The romance between Laura and Almanzo is simple and sweet. She wears her hair up and looks really grown up. Her luck is really big in this one because it just so happens that Almanzo is going to be driving her back and forth to the town where she will be doing her teaching! Laura gets to have a new dress, had, and shoes. It's the moment I've been waiting for - the episode where Laura and Almanzo finally get together has arrived! Laura becomes a school teacher by default and lands her first teaching job.
