[Jack barks]

Hurry up, mary. Pa'll
be home any minute!

Mary: I'm coming.

Oh, my goodness! [Thump]

Sorry, ma.

It's all right. It's
out of the oven.

Mary: oh... Wow.

That looks so good!

Can I have the bowl when...

I want the bowl!

Did you bring the candles?

- Yeah, right here.
- Oh, good.

I'll bet pa's going
to be surprised.

I don't think he even
remembers it's his own birthday!

- Aren't they pretty?
- Oh, very nice.

He didn't say one word!

Well, I think your pa enjoys
playing the birthday game

As much as we do.

Laura: I can't wait till
he sees what we got him.

Mary: won't be long. He's
bringing the team in now.

I'll go with him.

Oh, all right, mary,

But don't make it seem
like anything special.

I won't.

I'll put the
candles on the cake.

I'll clean the bowl.

Oh, no, you won't!
I'll clean the bowl!

Oh, that's all right,
girls. I'll clean the bowl.

Laura: oh, ma, please!

[Laughs] here.

How's the new horse, pa?

I'll be glad when judy's leg's

Well enough for
her to work again.

This one's a
little bit skittish.

Ma'd like you to get washed up

So you won't be late for supper.

All right. Tell her as
soon as I unhitch the team.

Oh, I can take them into the
barn... Feed them, stable them.

I swear I can't figure out why

Everybody's being
so nice to me today.

Not some special day, is it?

Ha ha! All right, I'll wash up.

Oh, uh, p... Pa,

Mary: don't go in the house.

Why don't you get
washed up in the creek?

Why, is something going on
in the house I shouldn't see?

Well... Not...

Don't worry. I'll
wash up in the creek.

Come on. [Clicks tongue]

[Barking]

Jack, stop it!

Jack!

[Jack growling]

Jack, go away!

Mary: jack, move! [Barking]

Whoa! Whoa! [Neighs]

Easy. Easy, girl. [Jack barking]

Whoa, girl.

Whoa.

[Barking]

Mary: no, jack!

Get out!

[Horse neighs] ahh!

Mary?

Mary?

Mary!

Mar...

Mary!

Mary, you all right?

I'm fine, pa. Honest.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I'm afraid jack
doesn't like that new horse.

Don't worry about jack,
as long as you're all right.

I'm just dirty. Now we
both need to get washed up.

Why don't you go ahead?
I'll put the horse up.

Okay.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Go on.

[Sighs]

Well, now, I wonder
what we've got here?

Hurry up and open it!

I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying.

Well...

We picked the fabric.

Laura: mr. Oleson
had it on special.

You're kidding. He
had this on special?

[Giggling]

Well, what is this?
Oh, I know what it is.

This is to catch
butterflies with, isn't it?

Laura: [laughing]
no, it's a nightcap!

Oh, a ni... I should
have known that. Yes.

It's got a little tassel on
there. Let me just try it on.

Let's see. Get my
tassel right. Fits.

- How's it look?
- Perfect.

Me and carrie made it.

Well, it's beautiful. I
love it. Thank you, darling.

Happy birthday.

Thank you. I love my nightcap.

Happy birthday, pa.

Oh, thank you, lovey.

Charles: oh, and
I've got more here!

What... Well, wait a minute.

What have we here?

Matching outfit, huh?

Ma cut the pattern, but I did
most of the sewing. You like it?

Like it? I love it! Boy,
nice and warm, too.

I'll tell you what my
best present was today,

And that was your
not getting hurt.

For me, too.

We're so lucky it wasn't worse.

Mm-hmm.

Well, now, come on.

Let's see how I look.

Huh? What do you think?

[Laughter]

Won't have any trouble finding me
on the way to the outhouse, will you?

[Laughing]

I love it. Thank you.

[Children laughing]

Hello, mary!

Mary: hi, pa!

Girls: [cheering]

Girls: ah!

. I have more than
you, laura ingalls, .

I win.

You haven't won
anything yet, nellie oleson.

It's mary's turn.

Any time you're ready.

I'll turn!

You play fair, nellie oleson.

Start out slow!

You're afraid she can't do it.

Am not!

Mary: I said I was ready.

All right. Come on, willie.

Laura: , , , ,

... Come on, mary,
you can do it...

, , ...

[Groans] oh!

Mary, what's the matter?

I don't know.

Nellie: she couldn't do it.

Nellie: I win.

She could beat you any
old day, nellie oleson.

Laura: it's just that she wasn't
feeling very good right now.

That new horse of pa's
really did hurt you, didn't he?

I don't feel good.

Nellie: hurt by a horse?

Some people will say
anything to excuse losing.

If I had the time,

I'd punch you right in
the nose, nellie oleson.

Let me try to help you.

No... I'll... I'll be all right.

Just... Just leave me a minute.

I'm going to go get pa.

Pa! Pa!

Does that hurt when I press?

Mostly when you let go.

Mary, have you had any
nausea the last few days?

What's that?

Doctor: upset stomach.

Oh.

I don't remember.

Mary, the doctor can't help you

If you don't tell
him everything.

Now, have you had
an upset stomach?

A little, I guess.

Why didn't you say something?

I can't stand the
taste of paregoric.

Ma was sure to give me some.

Well, we're lucky.

There's no sign of an infection.

I feel better now, doctor.

Truth of the matter is, I should
have brought her in before this.

She had a little problem
with a horse out in the barn.

Got kicked pretty good.

Well, that would explain
a number of things.

Doctor: I'd say between that
and trying to do whatnots,

It's enough to give
anyone a pain in the side.

Laura: red hots.

Doctor: well, whatever.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. I hate the
taste of paregoric.

Charles, I think it would be
wise to take her home now,

Keep her in bed for
a couple of days.

Could well be just
a muscle spasm.

But you tell your pa if you
have any more of those att*cks.

Yes, sir.

Paregoric or no
paregoric, you tell me.

Thanks, doctor.

Laura, you might
check on the desk.

Doctor: I think
there may still be

Some sour balls
left in that jar.

None for you.

Can I get one for carrie, too?

Sure.

You keep doling out
all that candy, doc,

You're going to have more patients
in here than you know what to do with.

Well, it's the secret
of my success, charles.

If they don't get
sick on the candy,

I get to work on
their teeth later.

- Thank you, doctor.
- Thank you.

Thank you, dr. Baker.

I'll see to it she gets
to bed right away.

[Moans]

Mary?

You shouldn't be up.

I... I just needed
a drink of water.

Oh, mary, you're
burning up with fever.

Charles: caroline?

Charles, this child is
burning up with fever.

Hey. When did this start?

I don't know.
Yesterday, she was fine.

Today I could hardly
keep her in bed.

Do you have any pain
in your side at all?

Charles: mary, now
come on, answer me.

Do you have any pain
at all in your side?

A little.

But I'll be all right, pa.

Why don't you get
her back to bed?

I'll get dr. Baker.
I won't be long.

Come on, mary. I'll
bring you some water.

I don't want to
be any trouble, ma.

Oh, now, don't you worry.

Come on, I'll put
you in our bed.

How does that feel?

It hurts a little.

More than when I
examined you in my office?

A little.

How's she doing?

Well, fever's dropped.

She'll feel a lot better when
she gets some of that broth.

Not too much, caroline.

Don't want her losing
her girlish figure.

Oh, we won't let that happen.

Since I got you up
at the crack of dawn,

The least I can do is get
you a cup of coffee, doc.

Thank you.

Carrie: is mary going
to be all right?

Charles: she's going
to be fine, sweetheart.

Why don't you and your sister
scoot off to sunday school?

I don't want you to be late.

Laura: aren't you coming?

Charles: yeah. I'll
join you there.

I'm going to talk to dr. Baker.

All right, pa. Bye, dr. Baker.

Carrie: bye, dr. Baker. Bye, pa.

- Bye.
- Bye, darling.

Here you go.

Thank you.

All right, what is it?

Well, there's always a
possibility of an error, charles,

But I believe mary has an
infection of the intestine.

As long as you know what it is,

Then you can do
something about it.

I can't.

Frankly, I'm not capable
of that kind of surgery.

Surgery?

Mary has to have an operation?

Well, I could be
wrong, caroline,

But I'd hoped her temperature

Would drop back to normal,

The pain would go away.

But that hasn't happened.

All right, what do we do now?

She needs a fine surgeon

And a good hospital.

To be safe, you should
take her to rochester.

How much time do we have?

It's hard to say,

But I don't feel
comfortable about this.

The sooner the better.

I understand. We'll take
the night train to rochester.

Good.

When I get back to town,

I'll see that a wire
gets to rochester.

They'll be expecting you.

Thank you.

If I had just taken care
of those horses myself,

This never would have happened.

Charles, you don't know that.

I asked her if she
was hurt in the barn.

She never had any
pain before that.

Well, if it was, it
was an accident,

Pure and simple.

Got a lot to do if I'm
going to take the train

From springfield tonight.

Caroline: I'll get the
girls' things together.

I'm sure grace won't
mind if they stay with them.

Going to see sprague at
the bank. We'll need money.

Pick up the girls
on my way back.

I'll be packed
when you get back.

No, charles, we can't
take your donation today.

Dr. Baker explained
the trials facing mary

And the cost that's
going to accompany you.

It's for mary, pa.

A special donation

To pay for the hospital.

Reverend: it's a gift
of the lord, charles.

May we all be mindful
of his blessings.

Shall we pray?

Reverend: dear
heavenly father...

Watch over this sick child

For whom our prayers
we're offering...

And grant that
she may be restored

To that perfect health

Which is thine alone to give.

Through jesus
christ our lord, amen.

Got the sack set in the wagon.

Good.

Won't be a featherbed,

But make your ride to
springfield a little better.

Mr. Edwards: you know, that,
uh, rochester doctor...

He's a lucky man to have
a patient as pretty as you.

You know what, he'll
have you as frisky as a cold

In no time at all.

That's what pa said.

Well, your pa's right.

Time he gets through with
you, you'll feel so good,

You won't want to
come back on the train.

You'll want to run
all the way home.

[Chuckles]

I sure hope so.

Why don't you girls
go out and play?

Just don't go real far.

We're going to be leaving soon.

Laura: I'd rather talk to mary.

Everything's going
to be all right.

They have the best doctors
in the world at rochester.

I know everything's
going to be all right.

Shh.

[Sobs]

Don't.

I'll be all right.

I will. I'll be all right.

Laura will help with the chores,

And carrie will try to.

They'll be fine.

We're happy to have them.

Mary's going to be fine, too.

Yes. Well... [Sighs]

Grace, I thought
my heart would stop

When they told me she'd
have to have an operation.

Grace: "operation" is a
scary word, caroline.

But I'm sure the
doctor in rochester's

Done a hundred of
them, and successfully.

That's what I keep
telling myself.

Grace: you're afraid for mary.

Any mother would be.

But you can't let
mary know that.

She needs your strength
to get her through all this.

We're ready.

[Door closes]

- Caroline.
- Hmm?

Smile.

That's better.

I know she'll be all right.

You just hold on to that thought

In your heart and
in your prayers.

Thank you.

There we go. You going
to be warm enough?

Yeah.

I got you tucked in good.

I'll go nice and slow.
May be a little bit bumpy.

She's fine. We're all ready.

Now don't forget. Let me know
if it gets too bumpy for you.

- Okay. Thanks, pa.
- Come home soon, pa.

I will, half-pint.

Soon as we can. Love you.

Caroline: thank
you, mr. Edwards.

Mr. Edwards: don't worry
about a thing. I'll pick up

The team and wagon in
springfield tomorrow.

I'll look after your place.

Thank you. Hope it
won't be for too long.

If you write to
me, I'll write back.

Okay.

Bye, mary.

Bye, laura.

[Wagon brake releases]

Charles: hyah!

[Train whistle blows]

What's the matter, darling?

I'm just cold.

There. Is that better?

Yeah.

Pa, I'm sorry to be
so much trouble.

Trouble. You're no
trouble, sweetheart.

Oh, good. You're awake.

The butcher boy
had some hot cider.

I thought you might like some.

Thank you, ma.

I'll go see about putting
on some more wood.

Excuse me.

Mind if I put some more
wood on the stove?

Never heard a man complain

Of someone else doing his work.

Thank you. How long
till we get to rochester?

Well, the way we're running,

We should hit the switch at
mankato ahead of schedule.

Course, you and the
missus and the little'un

Will want to rest up tonight.

No, no. We're going
straight through.

Hmm, straight through.

That would make
it another hours.

Thank you.

Be another hours.

[Train whistle blows]

Doctor: you have very
pretty eyes, young lady.

Thank you.

You don't feel
pretty now, do you?

No, sir, but I'm not
hurting very much,

If that's what you mean.

But you're hurting more than
you let your parents know.

Is that right?

Yes, sir. I guess so.

The main thing is,

From now on, you
tell me everything.

No secrets. Agreed?

Okay.

Now then, we're going to
put you in this wheelchair.

There we go.

And nurse johnson will
take you to your room.

Doctor?

Yes?

Am I really very sick?

Yes, you are, mary.

Do I have to have an operation?

Yes, mary.

Thanks... Thanks for telling me.

Everyone seems
afraid to talk about it.

Well, they're... They're
just trying to be kind.

But you know, now.

I'll see you in a little while.

Ask mr. And mrs. Ingalls
to come in, please.

Yes, sir.

Mary.

I'm fine, ma.

Dr. Mayes just examined me.

Dr. Mayes would like to
see you both in his office.

Room .

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

We'll come down and see you

As soon as we talk to
the doctor, all right?

Okay.

We'll go right in.

[Knock on door]

Oh, mr. And mrs. Ingalls?

- Yes, doctor.
- Come in, please.

Your dr. Baker is
to be commended.

He was right to send
your mary to us early.

He said she had some
kind of an infection.

A paratiflitic
abscess, to be precise,

But that's just a long name

For a terrible stomach ache

That's going to get worse
unless we do something.

Then you're going
to have to operate?

We have to drain the infection.

Now, after that, what we do is
determined by how she responds.

How dangerous is it?

I'm not going to lie to you.

No operation is easy,

Especially in the
presence of infection.

But your daughter is strong,

And above all, you
got her here in time.

When...

When will it be?

Tomorrow morning.

But first of all, I have
to have your consent,

And then you have to make
financial arrangements

With mr. Benson, who handles
all the hospital business.

Of course you have our consent.

And I'll talk to
mr. Benson right away.

Can we talk to mary?

Uh, just for a little while.

I want her to be well
rested for the morning.

We won't be long.

If you're worried about
telling her, don't be.

She knows.

You'd be proud of her, you know.

She's, um, she's a
brave young lady.

Thank you.

Thank you, doctor.

You can only stay a few moments.

- Thank you, nurse.
- You're welcome.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Hey, sweetheart.

Pa...

Did the doctor tell you?

Yeah, he told us.

The nurse told me this
is the finest hospital

In all of minnesota.

Well, it is. Dr. Mayes is
the best doctor, too.

I... I'm glad you know.

I didn't want you to worry.

Now, don't you worry about us.

You just do what
the doctor tells you.

Your ma's right.

They don't want us
to stay very long.

They want you to get your rest.

We'll come back
and see you soon.

I love you.

I love you.

Rest well, darling.

Thank you.

We'll be back soon.

Okay.

Thank you, mr. Ingalls.
And here's your receipt.

Thank you, sir.

And you understand
the room rent is due

In advance of each week.

Use of the operating
room, medicines,

And special nursing care

Is, of course, additional.

Your... Prices are a lot higher

Than dr. Baker led me to expect.

Well, this is now a private
institution, mr. Ingalls,

Finest equipment and
staff this side of boston,

And that takes money.

Yeah, I'm sure it does.

Our costs have
increased, mr. Ingalls.

We have no choice but
to pass them on to you.

When it comes down to it,

You wouldn't want anything less
than the very best for your daughter,

Would you?

No, of course not. I'll...

See to it that I keep
my bill up to date.

Thank you.

Good day.

Hey.

I hope mary's getting
more sleep than you are.

So do i.

She's facing surgery. She
must be very frightened.

Now, you listen
to me, all right?

She's in the best
hospital in minnesota,


And she has the best
doctor in minnesota.

She's in dr. Mayes' hands now.

Come on, now. She's
going to be fine.

Believe me, she's
going to be fine.

I know.

I know she is.

How's she doing?

Her pulse is steady.

Good.

Give her a little more.

This is going to take a while.

[Clock ticking]

How is she?

She's doing as well
as can be expected.

There was a great deal more
infection than I anticipated,

But otherwise,
it went very well.

Then she'll be fine.

Well, after the abscess
drains, the fever stays down.

We should know in
days, two weeks.

Can we see her?

Well, you can look in.

It's likely that she'll
be drowsy for a while,

But go ahead.

Thanks so much, doctor.

Dr. Mayes said that she
came through it very well.

Well, your daughter's
a very good patient.

She looks awful pale.

Please don't worry, mr. Ingalls.

She's doing very well.

Ma...

Pa.

Hey, we're right
here, sweetheart.

You can speak to her for a little
while, but don't stay too long.

Right.

I hurt.

Charles: aw, I know you
do, but that'll pass.

You'll get well real fast now.

[Groans softly]

[Groans]

Mary, do you want anything?

Dr. Mayes says you'll be
able to go home real soon.

I'll be glad.

So will your
sister. You'll be able

To do your share
of the chores, then.

[Groans]

Caroline: that's all
right. Sleep now.

We'll see you later.

Okay.

Oh!

Ha ha ha!

Feel better?

I feel just plain wonderful.

All that worry for nothing.

You were worried, too.

Oh, no, just every
minute, that's all!

[Laughs]

Oh...

What's the matter now?

Well, I must write
to laura and carrie,

And to grace and isaiah...

No, no, no. You're
not going to write

While I'm standing
here starving to death.

Well, I suppose I
could do it later.

I got a better idea. Why
don't we send a wire,

Then you and I go to supper,

And we celebrate?

- It's a very good idea.
- It's a good idea?

Very good. Ha ha ha!

Come on.

Thank you.

Can I help?

Oh, I'm just about finished.

Sorry I didn't come home sooner.

I would have, but I
stopped by our place.

No mail today?

No. No mail.

How was everything
at your house?

It looked so empty.

House looks...

Lonesome.

I know somebody
else who's lonesome.

You miss them a lot, don't you?

Yes.

I was hoping that
there'd be a letter.

Maybe tomorrow.

You don't suppose
that something happ...

I suppose that everything...

Is just the way it should be.

Until we hear different,

There's no point in
borrowing trouble.

I've had these awful dreams.

Oh, forget them, laura.

Dreams are just things that
you make up while you're asleep.

[Door opens]

What's the matter?

Well, i, um... I got some news.

Man come over from springfield
with one of them telegrams.

It's from charles.

Well, what's it say?

I don't know.

Well, what is it?

It's good news.

It's the best ever, laura.

"Operation successful.

Should all be home
within the week."

Hooray!

Isaiah, you ought to
learn how to read.

[Laughing]

[Isaiah hums]

[Charles and caroline laughing]

Oh! Ha ha ha!

I hope this lets up before
we have to take mary home.

Stop worrying. We have
two days for it to clear.

My goodness, I
don't think she'd mind.

[Giggling]

Mary. Where is she?

Didn't they tell
you at the desk?

No one told us
anything. Where's mary?

Where's dr. Mayes?

He's in his surgery. He's
waiting for you there.

[Knock on door]

Doctor, what happened?

Mary's fever went back up.

She went into convulsions.

Convulsions?

Now, don't worry.
She's stabilized.

We've checked the fever.

The worst part is over.

She was doing so
well. What happened?

The drainage was
just not enough.

We're going to have
to operate again

And remove the diseased tissue.

- Oh, charles.
- When?

Dr. Mayes: I can't say.

Mary is a very
weak girl right now,

And I don't know
how long it'll be

Before she's strong enough.

Weeks, a month,

Maybe even longer.

Mr. Ingalls,

I know that there's a
financial problem here,

And, well, you don't have
to worry about my fee.

But I can't practice
in this hospital

Without a clearance
from horace benson.

I'll talk to him right
now. Is he in his office?

Yes, but...

A word of caution.

I've already tried
to reason with him.

Yeah.

Why don't you stay
here with dr. Mayes?

Mr. Ingalls, this hospital
is for paying patients.

This would hardly
cover her bill.

I know that,
mr. Benson. That's, uh...

That's why I'm giving
you my personal note.

I'm going to go home
and sell my farm,

And I'll pay that bill.

I've told you before,
it is not the policy

Of this institution
to extend credit.

I'm not talking about credit.

I'm talking about
my daughter's life.

I'm sorry. You don't understand.

I do understand,
and you're not sorry.

But you're going to
be if you don't sign this.

I'll pay you, mr. Benson.
I swear to god I will.

Please.

I'll expect payment at
the end of the month,

Or the board will
overrule this paper.

You'll get your payment.

I wish I didn't have to go.

She's going to be all right.

She's got a lot of
spunk. She's strong.

She's going to be all right.

- I love you.
- I love you.

[Thunder booms]

Springfield. One way, please.

There'll be a two-hour
layover in mankato.

Yeah, I know.

Minutes to train time.

Thank you very much.

Aboard!

All aboard!

[Steam whistle]

Whoa!

Thank you very
kindly for the ride.

Isaiah! It's charles!

- Charles.
- Oh, charles,

You should have let us know.

The children were planning
a big welcome home for mary.

Well, mary and caroline
didn't come back with me.

What, something go wrong?

Yeah. Soon as mary's
got her strength back,

She's going to have to
have another operation.

Oh, no. Oh, the poor child.

I'll tell you all about it when I
come over to see the children.

Right now I got
to talk to sprague.

Oh, you can't.

Bank's closed.

Two years of bad crops.
Sprague pulled out.

What about hanson's? I
didn't see the mill working.

Working about
one day a week now.

He's over there now.

I'll talk to him, then.

I'll go with you.

I wish I could help.

Look, mr. Hanson, I'm not looking
to make a profit with the place.

I'll sell you the land,
the house, the barn,

Even my equipment, my tools,
for any money you can give me.

I can't buy your farm, charles.

I don't know anyone in
hero township who can.

All I've got in
my safe is paper...

Accounts receivable,
notes, all overdue.

Look... Could you loan
me some traveling money?

If I can't sell the
farm, I got to get a job.

The railroad's hiring, but
I can't get on the payroll

If I can't get there.

I wish that I could do more.

I appreciate that very much.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Going to have supper
with us, ain't you?

I'd like to. I just
can't spare the time.

Going to see the girls?

Yeah. I'll probably
get my gear first,

Stop by your place,
say good-bye to them,

And get on that
train, head west.

How much money you
going to need, charles?

That's hard to say. I
don't know how long

Mary's going to
be in the hospital.

You got a lot of
friends here, charles.

They'd all like to help.
Maybe if I talk to them...

Ah...

They've given all
the money they can.

I'll work it out.
I'll get the job.

I'll see you at your place.

What's wrong?

Money. Charles
needs a bunch of it.

He was trying to get
hanson to buy his farm.

Oh, no!

Getting a job with the railroad.

Wish there was something
we could do to help him.

Well, I better close up early.

We ought to be at the
house to say good-bye.

Yeah.

- Hey, darling.
- Pa!

Ha ha! My girls.

Oh, good to see you.

I'm so glad to see you.

Same here.

I wish you didn't
have to go away again.

So do i, darling, but I have to.

Besides, the sooner I go,
the sooner I'll get back.

Before you know it, mom
and mary'll be home, too.

We'll all be together.

Carrie: can I go with you?

Afraid not this time, darling.

But I tell you what.

When we get back,
we'll have a big picnic.

The whole family, all right?

Even jack?

Well, sure, jack.

It wouldn't be a picnic
without him, would it?

Laura: pa...

Just being home...

All of us...

Will be picnic enough.

We will be, too.
You wait and see.

Now, come on. Let me say
good-bye to the edwards.

- Where you going?
- Going with you.

We talked it over.
It's what we both want.

Figured the money'd be
coming in twice as fast

With both of us working.

It'll be our gift to mary.

Ain't no way you
can say no, so don't.

I put a lunch in isaiah's pack.

It's enough for both of you.

Thank you.

Well, you best say your
good-byes. It's time we was going.

Help your mama, now.

Take care.

You be good. You mind
your sister, all right?

Love you.
