I agree.5-19-55 P.7 quick switch, she tells Chuck that she?╟╓ll pick him up in a few minutes. But Kelly knows guys, and she?╟╓s watched Chuck while Maria was rehearsing. Good-naturedly, she removes herself from the competition. When Maria comes hack, she finds that Chuck doesn?╟╓t want to gamble. Not even when he learns that the management has prepared a private gambling room for them:?╟÷ to keep them comfortable, and happy ..-- and to cut down on the number of people gambling with them, of course. Chuck wants to be with Maria, They don?╟╓t know anything about each other except that when they hold hands, some- thing happens ?╟÷ but that's not a bad place to start from, is it? A short time later Chuck drives Marie thru the gates of the Lucky Seven Ranch ?╟÷his ranch, because, as it says on all his bank loans, he?╟╓s a rancher. It?╟╓s beautiful, but a little run-down. Things have been started, but not finished - among them, an oil \vell. That?╟╓s because whenever Chuck makes some money on the ranch, he goes to Las Vegas and loses it. Cheerfully. Maria meets the kind of people she's never met before?╟÷ just plain nice people. The ranch hands. Chuck?╟╓s friends, and his mother ?╟÷ a tart little old lady with an Italian-boy haircut. She and Maria get along like two kids at a picnic. And the strange magic which started between Chuck and Maria at the Sands continues to work. Chickens start laying eggs insanely, cows give milk like maniacs, and horses who are not expecting; drop foals, When, finally, the well which hasn?╟╓t even got a pump shoots up a geyser of oil, it becomes very clear to Chuck's mother that Maria is one girl he must absolutely not let go.
