LOL I thought it was hilarious. The Big Coo is going to be the name of my garage band.
as to Dolly never appearing "mercenary"....of course not. All those publicity shots of famous ladies holding cash registers were to show Dolly's love of antiques.

She does not have feelings for Horace, she plays with the idea of being a bad girl, breaking the rules to attract a man and not doing the "right" thing.
That's right. And she has that speech about how careful she has always had to be of her reputation because she is a single woman running a business.
Thank you, dramamama.

Please forgive my careless wording, Tex. I meant "unduly" mercenary, as in "enough to bother me". I'm well aware of Dolly's drive for financial security and was discussing it before you joined the thread.
And thanks for the structural reasoning behind the ballad. I know a lot of the numbers are fairly literal musicalizations of monologues from Wilder's play. Do you happen to know if Irene has a monologue that corresponds to "Ribbons"? (I'm only asking if you know off the top of your head. I don't expect you to look it up for me.)
