Drugs. Nels had a habit. A little bit of the White Lotus in the icehouse out back.

Nels was a ticking time bomb, actually.

Harriet may have had a nasty disposition with the public but once you got her in the sack? Whoa boy! Your eyes would spin.

reply

Harriet was ferocious in bed. And Pa's whole "cash on the barrel" talk when he was ALWAYS asking for credit really meant that it was "Caroline on the barrel" in the back stockroom whenever yet another crop of Pa's failed and they needed credit. Nels was well taken care of by the ladies of Walnut Grove.

LOL, how about Nels was a patient, decent guy. Lord knows the guy needed patience with a wife like that.

True
