But they didn't really do much with it, and then -- boom! -- Miss Ellie's gone.It's been pointed out that Miss Ellie married Jock to save the ranch. Some have even suggested that Jock loved Ellie more than she loved him... Is that true?? She certainly seemed besotted, and decimated, once Jock died -- and it's not like she was worried about money after he was gone.And this could drag up the old issue: why do men and women fall "in love"? Is the man just after sex? Is the woman just after resources? And did Jock & Ellie get that balance right (whatever balance there is to have in that situation).Where is the absurdity in all of that?  <img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/cc/43/c6cc43ecd81c4e836b8df4c5a78200e7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
