In the oddest Little House sighting of the day, I was reading Megan McArdle’s blog on the Atlantic Monthly’s web site regarding Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter’s defection from the GOP to the Democratic Party. And lo and behold …
Can you spot the Little House reference?
I can hardly bear the sadness of it!
I must be blind. I’m not finding anything, except maybe when they mention “cap”. lol Does that count? I know they’re not referring Cap Garland, but that’s just the way my mind works.
Oh, I caught it immediately. To give a hint to Kim, there’s an illustration in the LH book that corresponds to the reference that this article contains.
Bigger hint: Last line of the first paragraph of the article.
Was this a line from a song that was sang during the “Whirl of Gaiety” chapter of LTOTP? It seems familiar to me now that it’s been pointed out.
Bingo!
I feel like getting out my hanky to dab at a tear on my cheek!
Is this scene ever replayed in a De Smet pageant? It would be a good one!
