Eliza's life was her brother and teaching. Being married would have gotten in the way of that. In those days. When woman got married, her life's ambitions and dreams would have been put on the back burner or thrown away, for being a wife and mother.
@candlelight482 - Eliza Jane is around 33 in this episode. She was 7 years older than her brother. In real life, she didn't marry until the age of 42. She also had a son shortly after. After her first husband died, she married for a second time. So, it does take longer for some to find the right person but it doesn't mean something great might be just around the corner!
Yes she did get married to an older man and she did have one boy his name was wilder but he died soon after and left them with a huge house and she was very much into womans rights
I feel so bad 4 eliza never having beau (as they called it then) at her age but i know how she feels. I don't know how old eliza is suppose to b here but I've never had a real boyfriend eithr and i'm around her age.
@candlelight482 I too felt bad for Eliza. I really thought Harv. Miller would have made her very happy. It was unfortunate that he already had his eyes set on another woman....
P.S "One day your prince will come", my grandmother always told me... "You just have to be patient and eventually you will meet the right person for you..." Thanks for sharing and I truly hope the right person for you. Everybody deserves to love and beloved in return... : D
@Emotional2000 Thanks Emotional2000 It's hard waiting when everyone around you has someone but guess i got no choice. Thanks again!!! and thanks 4 LHOP!
@candlelight482 I totally understand... I think we have all been in your shoes at some point in our lives. Where we wanted to be with someone when everyone around is with someone situation. I know I have ,as a young person! Just know that you are not alone and others have had the same or similar experience as you... By the way, you're welcome candlelight... : D
I don't think your prince will come u have to get out there and find your soul mate he is not going to come riding in on a white horse with a ring in his hand.
@candlelight482 I'm sorry you feel badly. I haven't had a "real" boyfriend in 20 years, but it's not so hard. Especially when all my girlfriends in relationships constantly complain and I see their boyfriends come and go. Occasionally, I even hear "you're so lucky to be single!" These days, it's so much harder to find the right companion and it's easier for some to be alone. Bless.
@candlelight482 I am 22 and in the same situation...Sometimes I feel like it must be my fault, and sometimes it almost feel like some find of curse fell on me. The hardest thing is not truly knowing why things just don't happen naturally, why is there this weird lack of motion...Do you know why you're in the same position ? Are you avoiding people ?
@candlelight482 I feel bad for her too.In the role she's so delicate,so sensitive and ready to listen to Harvey.But he's a douchebag!He's stupid!!She was 30 maybe or around 30 i guess.But it isn't so easy to have a boyfriend and someone who really loves you even today.I dated boys but only had 2 regular boyfriends.
@fisteberg Today, it does appear to be somewhat of a challenge to meet the right person... But, I still believe in love and that there is a person out there for everyone. What can I say, I am an optimistic, hopelessly romantic person... lol ; D

I can never figure out whether Almonzo sleeps in the bedroom upstairs or the one downstairs because he's gone into both of them before saying "good night."
Eliza deserves to be loved, too. Who cares that she's not the worlds' most beautiful woman, or that she has kind of a quirky personality. No person is perfect.
I like how this episode depicts, for once, the woman falling for the man, instead of vice versa. No one ever thinks about when the woman is the one who's vying for affection (besides Laura liking Almanzo, of course, but he ended up liking her, too.)
That is true, plus I don't understand why people say bad things about her such as her being ugly or her voice being annoying. I've heard voices more annoying than her's and would her outer looks matter so much just so men could like her? Sometimes when it comes to watching these kind of programs, it makes me feel like no one cares about the inside, only the outside. Not trying to be overdramatic here, just expressing an opinion. But I agree Eliza Jane deserves a good man.
@Disneyfan82 Men can be shallow the outside is the only thing that seems 2 matter to men.It's a shame cause if u judge a person just 4 what u c on the outsid u could be missing alot of the good stuff about a person. If a sound of a voice matters 2 men i just can't say much 4 there maturity.
Poor elisa so shy!it is so sad for her.Her first love but not shared love.The actress is just perfect,perfectly shy and back in the late 1800's women used to be shy i guess and not very talkative.And perfectly dressed the fashion of this era,and had the manners too.
@pamela31301 No i don't think so.No i'm watching again this episode i think Eliza deserved a man a thousand times better than Harvey.THis harvey is too stupid for her bright mind.
Indeed. Real life Eliza was nelly's friend and she hated Laura. And Laura hated teaching, she only did it so she can pay for the blindschool for mary. Mary didn't maried you know in the books (so also not in real life) And Mary was the one who wanted to be teacher while Laura never ever wanted it! XD
Nellie Oleson was actually three people in real life. Laura changed it into one character in the books to make it easier on the reader. One of the real life girls was named Nellie Owens that Laura changed into Oleson.
I remember how Laura first try to hook Almanzo. she pretended to run back home so he could offer her a ride. lol little damsel in distress. it was sneaky.
No she is not blind. Her blind school joined with Mary and Adam's blind school in the episode called "Blind Journey" which is an awesome episode. You can watch the whole 2 part episode on this channel. enjoy
Harve Miller. the guy driving around the Wilder teacher, is the old farmer in Babe! I'm sure of it. Faces may change but voices tend to stay the same.
The real life Eliza Jane was bossy and mean. If you read the books, she is very nasty and hateful to Laura. Funny that she was made out to be some sweet thing on the show.
Little Town on the Prairie is where Eliza Jane is Laura and Carrie's teacher and is really mean to them. Other references made to Eliza are in Farmer Boy (she was always bossy) and again in The First Four Years when Almanzo and Laura want to get married and Eliza & Almanzo's mother want to take charge of the wedding. But they end up avoiding the large wedding wanted by his family.
Boy this really shows the time period. No one in this generation uses the word "beau" in place of boyfriend. And back in that generation, it was unheard of a lady asking a man over for dinner.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I never realized how bossy Eliza Jane can be before. "Finish your tea and head off to bed" instead of standing up for himself, Almanzo says "Yes Mam". Come on now, get some balls man!
Huh...? Wow, this generation really thinks differently. Almanzo's answer illustrates how much respect people had back then, not how little backbone they had. It's beautiful to see, and it's too bad there isn't more of it now. Incidentally, I am from the younger generation. My heart is just in the prairie days I guess. ;o
I get the respect part but I wouldn't have said that to my older brother especially if he is a grown man. I think Almanzo reponded nicely but calling your sister ma'am is too formal. I would have just said "Yes, Eliza Jane."
Also, now that I think about it, I see him calling her "ma'm" was a combination of 3 things: respect, the era, and also Eliza being sort of a maternal or a mother hen presence in Manly's life in general. This episode particulary highlights how she's starting to question the role she's carved out for herself in life, and how she wants to step out of that matronly shadow.
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not part 1. You can view it on my channel. In this epi, Almanzo proposes to Laura... Also in the epi, "Laura Ingalls Wilder" Almanzo and Laura get married.
I agree. Lucy Lee Flippin says that she's nowhere near like that in real life. She's a very nice and easy going person; that she's not like the character she portrays!
Eliza's life was her brother and teaching. Being married would have gotten in the way of that. In those days. When woman got married, her life's ambitions and dreams would have been put on the back burner or thrown away, for being a wife and mother.
