Friend to a Woman Whose Husband Doesn't Care

Kimble goes to work as a stable boy for the horsey set in CT. This is an episode where he has material comforts, but can't exercise authority. Mrs. Guthrie is a sweet lady who is about his age who is afraid of horses; she would be attractive if she had a bit more self-confidence. Her husband married her so he could run the newspaper she inherited. He is having an affair with her sister. The sister has no morals, is jealous that her sister inherited the paper, and encourages Mr. Guthrie to kill her. Kimble is asked to train Mrs. Guthrie to ride and shoot as well as the rest of them. This is a setup so the photographer sister can take photos that show intimate moments between them. It's a sham, and yet there is a rapport that builds up between Kimble and Mrs. Guthrie, as he leans across her saddle to adjust the reins, or holds her arm to aim a shot. "There are worse things than being alone," is the powerful advice he gives. There is no parting kiss, presumably because she is a married woman.
