[That is a neat explanation. It's also one that sets Albert to wondering why Cooper knows it. Why some girl that nobody'd ever heard of before her miraculous return to Petticoat Junction? What's the connection to this? How'd she get tangled up with Cooper?
It's only because Albert's been doing this a long time, and because he knows Coop's track record, and because he knows how to put two and two together from the things that have been said — Cooper threw himself to the wolves for Annie Blackburn's sake, and Windom Earle is in play, and this is sounding entirely too much like a variation on a theme he's never wanted to hear again, a reprise of a cacophony he's long since grown to loathe.]
You love her?
[Maybe it's brutal, considering. Maybe he wants it to be a little brutal, just on the off-chance that he'll manage to see Cooper feel something again.]
