      In this story, Mary's old glasses cause a fire, which is how Charles and Jonathan find the wrecked stagecoach. In reality, her glasses could not start a fire. They were used to correct Mary's nearsightedness, and the shape of the lenses is not the kind that will start a fire under the circumstances shown in this story.

      • Albert Quinn Ingalls: Mrs. Oleson has got us, Laura. I guess we'll have to sell our hive too.
      • Laura Ingalls: What? But there's...
      • Albert Quinn Ingalls: No buts! You can't beat a good business woman like Mrs. Oleson. Ma'am?
      • Harriet Oleson: Mm hm?
      • Albert Quinn Ingalls: You've got us over a barrel, so we'll just have to sell you our main hive.
      • Harriet Oleson: Main hive?
      • Albert Quinn Ingalls: Yep. We were gonna make a fortune off it, but we need that $57.60. For that price we'll throw in the hive.
      • Harriet Oleson: Well...
      • Albert Quinn Ingalls: It produces hundreds of pounds a year. It's breaking my heart to give it up.
      • Harriet Oleson: Oh... Hundreds of pounds a year. My... Well, that would keep Nellie's restaurant in sweets for... forever! Well, you've got a deal!
      • Albert Quinn Ingalls: You and Nellie will have to pick the hide up yourselves. Pa said I could use his wagon just this once.
      • Harriet Oleson: Oh? Well, isn't that kinda dangerous?
