Myra's
an uneducated, fairly pretty, basically good person in
her early 20's. Her heart's always in the right place
and she's (almost) always an ally of Mike's.
She
is gentle, is somewhat timorous, but possesses a core
of inner goodness that gives her surprising strength,
and she's always on the side of the right.
After
falling in love with Horace, she gathers the courage to
leave Hank and tear up her contract. But, married life
isn't all pansies and roses. Although she becomes a mother
and gives Horace a daughter, Samantha, Myra still feels
the need to "be somebody in my own right."
With
a head for figures, she takes a job at the bank, but her
work keeps her away from Horace and Samantha more than
he likes. When Myra joins the other women from town to
search for Dr. Mike and Sully, she returns to have Horace
forbid her to "go off like that again."
She
tells Horace that it's not working out and takes Samantha
with her to St. Louis to visit her sister—the beginning
of the final end. |
