Reply #22: i had a different take on lureen.

[xchrom]

i don't think lureen ''knew'' -- i think what mattered to her was that jack was a man that she could manipulate -- have control over the way she did the john deere business.

it was that machinery business that made lureen tick inside and out -- she was like her daddy in that regard.

did she lie to ennis? -- yes.
but maybe to save face as much as anything else.
