"So, you failed to mention that the Cain family has made marriage proposals to you." Clark managed to catch Isa before Maria did. He had to take the chance to tease her just a little bit.
"As a member of the Rolly family, many people propose to myself and my brothers. They want the trade that comes with my family name. Even the most inexperienced merchant could make it big if they had my last name. The only issue is that my family prefers not to help one another unless it is on equal terms."
The Rolly family was very respectable. Family and business were separated. It was why Clark found them to be one of the more respectable families. The Green family was naturally the second in line since they had freedom to strengthen their own paths instead of using the same methods over and over. They value freedom and equality.
