They were all happy that night. The fire on the hearth was pleasant, for on the High Prairie even the summer nights were cool. The red-checked cloth was on the table, the little china woman glimmered on the mantel-shelf, and the new floor was golden in the flickering firelight. Outside, the night was large and full of stars. Pa sat for a long time in the doorway and played his fiddle and sang to Ma and Mary and Laura in the house and to the starry night outside.Laura Ingalls Wilder.

About liking school (2007): "I know that sounds strange, but when you are filming you never quite know what you are going to be doing each day. You are pulled from place to place and the schedules change. So I really enjoyed the feeling that I was back at school. I wanted to take responsibility for my education instead of being pushed along by it." ~ Emma Watson
