[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 443289, member: 2740"] Miss Ellie had the sense of entitlement that came with growing up as heiress of a prominent ranch (Southfork was supposed to be a *big deal*, especially in her youth — which they didn’t do a great job of getting across a lot of the time, when it seemed more like Ray and a pickup truck and a handful of cows than Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone) who went on to marry an enormously wealthy and powerful oil baron, who was just coming into his period of success. She had the breeding and class, and a fairly palpable sense of superiority at times, and Jock had the money and power and intimidating nature. Even Sam Culver seemed to defer to her in status, and it didn’t seem like wholly a political act or a southern gentleman thing. It made all the sense in the world that she’d call up the head of transportation of the state of Texas and order him to put all his resources on finding her sons’ plane, or that she’d be shocked that Harv Smithfield wouldn’t break Jock’s will on her command.
