Joan Brandon thought her father a marvellous man, as I have already said, but she had seen him too often lose his temper, too often snub her mother, too often be upset by trivial and unimportant details, to conceive him romantically. Falk, her brother, was romantic to her because she had seen so much less of him; her father she knew too well.
But all this, as Rosemary well knew, was an unimportant detail of the general scheme of work going on at Applehead's ranch. To her it seemed wonderful, the way Luck was pushing his picture to completion against long odds sometimes, fighting some difficulty always.
