Hey gang,
Was it me misinterpreting the situation, but when Eve said to Jeff, "Let me put my arms around you and kiss you so that you'll remember me," it did NOT look as if Collinsport's most perfectly-coiffed bachelor was making any attempt to spurn Eve's advances.
And, can you imagine what Roger must have been thinking as he witnessed Jeff and Eve "swapping spit," so to speak? "Now I know why that young rapscallion turned down that job training seminar in Boston several weeks ago!"
Heck, Roger must have come to the conclusion that Jeff must be a Frenchman at heart, with a decidedly "continental" attitude about maintaining both a young, new wife AND a mistress on the side!
It couldn't have been very enjoyable for Roger to see Jeff succeed with so many women. The poor guy is probably still walking the floors over his recent failed marriage with Cassandra. Roger must be thinking: "Okay, Jeff is younger than me and has a thicker head of hair than I do. But, in comparison to Jeff, I'm a man of superior wealth, culture and breeding. That stunning, raven-haired beauty should be attracted to a man of my position, not some young cad like Clark!"
I tell you, Roger looked so sad and alone in that big, king-sized bed of his. (They should have been playing Martha and the Motels' song, "Only the Lonely Can Play.") I don't think that he would be dreaming about Vicky's upcoming wedding. No! Roger would be dreaming of some of the sweet nothings that Eve (if she only knew him) would say to Roger;sweet nothings, such as: "Roger, you were born to share my bed!"
