Oh, if only theminutes did not go by so slowly and
the house were not so still! Husbands roused wives at dawn and told them asmuch as
could be decently told to women.
And thequiet face of Ashley Wilkes was blurred and
drowned to nothingness.
She had taken an important and melancholy pleasure
intalking to the condolence callers. But even as they laughed, they expressed regret
for Scarlett andher tragedy. And red plush curtains and dozens of full-length
giltmirrors?
And now he wasdead because of her obstinacy. There
was the sound ofgreeting and an indistinguishable murmur.
It made her feel so strange tobe kissed like this
and yet there was something exciting about it. But Id rather it were really truethan
have one hair of your head in danger.
And it hurt him sowhen I ran the mills and built
the saloon and leased convicts.
But even as they laughed, they expressed regret for
Scarlett andher tragedy.
Rhett, itdoesnt seem like it was me who did all
these things. Rhett, itdoesnt seem like it was me who did all these
things.

woman in the diminterior.
Elsing, Tommy Wellburns widow and most of all,
Mrs.
Oh, Rhett, you are joking and I thought you were
going to benice! I married him, I made himunhappy and I killed him. PoorPittypat
would be upset in earnest if she came downstairs pink andblooming.
So he mustnever know the truth because he must keep
on loving her. And she hadmade him unhappy during the last six months when she could
havemade him very happy.
