""If at first you don't fricassee, Fry, fry a hen!"
— Carol Ryrie Brink (Caddie Woodlawn)

"How far I've come! I'm the same girl and yet not the same. I wonder if it's always like that? Folks keep growing from one person into another all their lives, and life is just a lot of everyday adventures. Well, whatever life is, I like it. --Caddie Woodlawn"
