that once again Atherton loses because Dolly died of natural causes.
podcast-host
She'd won again.
podcast-host
But of course, the thing was, Dolly wasn't competing with anybody.
podcast-host
She wasn't trying to hurt anyone or get anything over on anyone.
podcast-host
She wanted to love people and be loved.
podcast-host
And she lived a happy life and faced the end of it with a full heart and no regrets.
podcast-host
Now, certainly, that life had some downsides, and those are serious, including being manipulated and taken advantage of.
podcast-host
But if the choice is between living like Dolly and living like Atherton, a woman utterly consumed by hatred, by her sense of how the universe was unjust to her,
podcast-host
and fighting a pathetic one-way battle with someone who keeps winning, even when she's not aware that there's actually this competition going on in her head.
podcast-host
Between these two extremes, we have Johnny Dollar.
podcast-host
And Johnny does some interesting things in this episode.
podcast-host
Johnny really, based on what we learned towards the end, knew a lot about this case and elements of the solution before the train ever left town.
podcast-host
He, from his research, knew that Barnaby had some suspicious business dealings.
podcast-host
which apparently intensified when he and Prowl started working together.
podcast-host
And then he knew that Barnaby had left an estate of a million dollars.
podcast-host
And this was a time in 1955 where that was still a lot of money.
podcast-host
So even before the train left the station, Johnny knew that there was something very suspicious about the way Prowl had taken care of the books.
podcast-host
But he doesn't tip his hand on any of this to Dolly or even to the audience until much later in the story.
podcast-host
And I think there is a sense that Johnny is truly trying to protect Dolly in the way that Prel and Barnaby pretended to.
podcast-host
But it wasn't for an exploitative reason.
