[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 337800, member: 46"] I think Jock comes across as nowhere near as much of a control freak as J.R. Jock pursued Miss Ellie back in the 1930s when she was with Digger, and he didn't have to bail out Southfork from the crisis it was in under Miss Ellie's father Aaron Southworth. Miss Ellie's view of her life is as a rancher's daughter, living at Southfork, whether with her father as the owner or her husband. I think Jock liked Miss Ellie having her own way of doing things as well. He liked individual initiative. Jock himself grew to like ranching later, having not liked it so much when he was younger. That's all a bit like a traditional arranged marriage between a future king with some rich person's daughter with a title. Very business like. It's a long way away from Bobby and Pam (Romeo and Juliet) or Gary and Valene (truest love of all, probably). [/QUOTE]
