I love a good hoodwinked and switcheroo plot!<br /><br />I think if I were Liz I would have decided to take the mail order bride's place over pretending to be a boy. I think being a ranch hand would be hard. Although, discovering you just married a man who would spank you for anything might make you want to till the fields insteadAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958878959625455361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-60799117335230062562014-02-22T07:06:04.096-05:002014-02-22T07:06:04.096-05:00Sue, thanks again for choosing such thought provok...Sue, thanks again for choosing such thought provoking questions.

And it was really sweet of him to make such a sacrifice for his kids. He was a great hero and so perfect for Liz, even though it took her a while to realize it. Thanks for stopping by!

That was what she faced with either choice. If caught, neither situation would be good, however, she had the benefit of having at least some knowledge of the mail order husband. It was the best of the two choices she had to work with.<br /><Patricia Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05042411219884835267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-34594919084177537282014-02-21T16:18:20.169-05:002014-02-21T16:18:20.169-05:00Thanks for stopping by, Kathryn!

The fact that Caroline saw through Liz's disguise almost right away makes me think she made the only decision she could. Also, working on a ranch is hard, was she well-suited for that sort of work? If not, then she had to take the least objectionable option open to her. I'm curious though why Kathryn R.

I mean, Caroline easily saw through her disguise and knew she was a woman, so Liz probably figured more people would see through her disguise as well. She suddenly had a second option presented to her and she took it. I think a lot of people would have done the same thing even if it meant starting a relationship (a marriage, no less!) with a lie.Sue Lyndonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420556675096411446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164186761666324757.post-80973283155414089472014-02-21T08:25:22.232-05:002014-02-21T08:25:22.232-05:00Cara, you get the cookie! :)
