There was no Nancy, curls, pigtails, or even a few prairie dresses in episode 8, so I skipped it & continue with the gallery at episode 9. Lots of Nancy in this one. Only one new dress in a brief scene. But no Little House gallery would be complete without a few scenes of Nancy or Nellie getting into a fight, rolling on the ground showing their petticoats or bloomers. The fight scenes are short though, & all the action blurs the caps.

I see a production error I never noticed before in this episode. In one of the fight scenes after school her dress gets real dirty. Yet at dinner time just an hour or 2 later on the same day, she's wearing the same dress, spotless, cleaned, & unwrinkled. Oops! They didn't have quick automatic washers & driers in those days. Even with an electric washer & dryer, it would have been a very tight race to have the dress washed, dried, & pressed in time for dinner. I don't think the fancy dress would be safe to machine wash anyway. In this episode her Mom was away out of town. I don't think Daddy would have rushed like crazy to get the dress cleaned, dried & pressed for dinner, & still had time to make dinner. No microwave ovens & frozen dinners in those days either.

Enjoy!
