"There's Roger Clint with Eleanor."
Brat looked for the couple and found them.
"Who is Roger Clint?"
"He has a big farm near here."
Roger Clint was a black-browed young man, and he was being old-friendly with Eleanor.
"He's in love with Eleanor," said Ruth, having failed with one try for drama.
"A very good person to be in love with," Brat said, but his heart contracted.
"It would be a very good thing if she married him. He has lots of money and a lovely big house and simply scads of horses."
Against his will Brat asked if Eleanor were thinking of it.
Ruth considered the pros and cons or this as they fitted into her dramatic framework.
