Little House on the Prairie, Season 9

Nellie:
I can't get over that essay. Nancy truly views herself as a helpless victim, surrounded by people who hate her.

Nels:
Every day, we prove to her the exact opposite. How could she possibly think that?

Nellie:
I don't know, but Mother's always saying how much Nancy looks like me.

Nels:
It's true.

Nellie:
Well, maybe she thinks that's the only reason you adopted her.

Nels:
Well, I admit it started out that way, but it's not true anymore.

Nellie:
Then I think you need to prove it to her.

Nels:
How?

Nellie:
I'm not sure, but she did get ignored a lot since I've arrived.

Nels:
She did?

Nellie:
Think about it. I guess it was a time when we should have made an extra effort to pay more attention to her.
