[to Charles about Mary] I didn't know your daughter had scarlet fever, Mr. Ingalls.
Yeah, she had scarlet fever.
How bad was it?
It was bad. It was scarlet fever. What is it?
The scarlet fever damaged the eye nerves. Weakened them.
How long until she's better?
I'm afraid she won't get better. The condition only worsens. Mr. Ingalls....Mary is going blind.
There must be some mistake.
Dr. Burke: I'm afraid not. I wish there was some medicine or treatment that would help, but there just isn't.
There....some.....something. There must be something.
It would have to be in the nature of a miracle, beyond the skill or knowledge of a doctor.
