"A MATTER OF FAITH"

I gotta watch the end of the episode again ...
I just remembered the scene in "Love's Enduring Promise" when that boy asks for a big knife because he's going to take the infection of Missi's Pa's leg....

The camera effects were pretty good on this episode and it really makes you look through the eyes of Caroline and feel scared

I remember one scene when it's raining and there is loud thunder... the camera is moving all around the house and makes the little house look so big and empty and scary...

The worst parts were when camera showed all the objects inside the little house, totally blurred and moving, as Ma was seeing them. I still have goosebumps thinking about these moments! Think she was totally alone, far from the closer of her neighbors, without phone and any contact with people just to say how bad she was feeling...Awful!

I gotta say, Reverend Alden went away too quick when he went to pick up the pies! lol
I mean... I would have at least looked through the window.... it didn't have any curtains... so it was easy to look to make sure Caroline was really gone lol

Didn't She have the Shutters Close?

No. If you look at the 2nd pic... you can see the sunlight hitting her face from the window...

I think I remember her throwing something which made her break part of the glass on the window... but it was too late... the reverend was already up the road...

I thought the same thing, Carol! I'd have looked in the window. It's very much a small town thing, too. If it's a REALLY small town, and someone you know, you just pop the door open a bit and call in "Yoo-hoo!" or something similar. If the door happens to be locked - which would be unusual during the daytime - I'd certainly look in the window.

Hey Savannah Thats The Same thing Trixie Belden Once Said to Honey Wheeler

Oh Yeah Carol I'll Have to watch it again i have forgotten sooo much

in Which book was it? Probally The First One Right? Cause i don't have the secon one and i have't read it either

Oh Sorry i have 2nd one i don't have the 3 one The Gate House Mystery where they discover the Club House

I watched this last night. She wakes up, while the Rev. and Mrs. Foster are talking, and then crawls over to the window, opens the shutters, with a great deal of effort, grabs the rolling pin, and then breaks the window panes. :fyi: :o)

This was another good one -- full of suspense. I liked the visual effects, e.g. blurring the picture to make it appear as Caroline might be seeing it.

This is a very moving episode. I love how Karen was featured, and how the story was written so well for her.

I can't imagine going through what Caroline went through. Very scary, but her faith held her. This is one of my favorite suspense episodes, though I always know the outcome. LOL!

The girls are so pitiful when they're sitting outside and worrying about Caroline. Bless their hearts.

gotta say we are really lucky to have cell phones, phones, ect if we are in trouble.. i mean that was a freaky esp i don't know what i would of done if i was her..

A great episode as far as Karen Grassle was concerned. She portrayed such a range of emotions so well. I can remember watching this the very first time back in the 70's and my heart was pounding as I too thought Caroline was going to cut her leg off! Gripping stuff.

i find this a very sad episode ....Charles is so obviously broken at the thought of losing his wife...he even struggles to help his children thru the ordeal.....i must say though be hard not to open your eyes with handsome Michael Landon kneeling beside your bed lol

This was one of my favorite episodes to watch. Karen Grassle was great in the episode. So were the other cast members. So breath taking and moving.

I was very frightened thinking that Caroline would REALLY take away her leg! Watching this episode you can really feel almost the same she feel...Her wild looks when the fever was going up by the action of the infections, are really scaring. She was frightened and she makes you feel frightened too .Karen Grassle is a great actress and I'm amazed that we couldn't see her in more films and TV shows...It's a shame.

Vanesa.

I thought she actually cut her leg off when I saw it. I was waiting to see her in the next episode to see how she'd be. lol

This episode freaked me out when I was little as I was positive she was going to cut off her leg! The filming and the lightning also added to the scariness.

I had to laugh at Charles's taking the wire off the wagon. That wire was holding the boards together!


Carrie: "I'm sorry. Jack made me do it."

Pa: "All aboard! All who can't get aboard get a plank"


Wouldn't Caroline's pies have gotten wet in the rain?
