Scarlett shouted at the closing doorWhen she heard a key turning in the lock, she threw the mantel clock, then the fireplace poker, at itToo late she thought of the piazza and the other bedroomsWhen she ran to their doors they, too, were locked on the outsideShe returned to her own room and paced its length and width until she was exhaustedAt last she slumped into a chair and pounded weakly on its armrests until chanel purses and handbags her hands were sore"I am going to leave," she announced aloud, "and there's no way he can stop me The tall, thick, locked door silently gave her the lieThere was no point in fighting Rhett, she'd have to outwit him somehowThere had to be a way, and she'd find itNo need to burden herself with luggage, she could go with only the clothes on her backThat's what she'd do She'd go to a tea or a whist party or something and just walk away in the middle, straight to the horsecar and on to the depotShe had plenty of money for a ticket to-where?

He's never gotten over" "Gracious, Marjorie, can you imagine what the other man must be like if she'd leave the Butler man for him?" Scarlett smiled to herselfShe was enormously gratified to know that gossip had her leaving Rhett and not the other way aroundShe felt much better than when she'd sat downShe might even have some dessertThe following day the English discovered ScarlettThe three young people agreed that she was a superbly romantic figure, a mysterious young widow "Damned nice looking, too," Roger addedHis sisters told him he must be going blindWith her pale skin and dark hair and those green eyes, she was fantastically beautifulThe only thing she needed was some decent clothes and she'd turn heads wherever she wentThey decided they'd "take her up Marjorie made the approach by admiring Cat when Scarlett had her on deck for an airingScarlett was more than willing to be "taken up She wanted to hear every detail of every chanel watches hour they'd spent in CharlestonIt wasn't difficult for her to invent a tragic story of her marriage and bereavement that satisfied all their cravings for melodrama Roger fell in love with her within the first hourScarlett had been taught by her mother that genteel discretion about family matters was one of the hallmarks of a ladyFelicity and Marjorie Cowperthwaite shocked her with their casual unveiling of family skeletonsTheir mother, they said, was a pretty and clever woman who had trapped their father into marriageShe managed to be run down by his horse when he was out riding"Poor Papa is so dim," Marjorie laughed, "that he thought he'd probably ruined her because her frock was torn and he saw her bare breastsWe're certain that she tore it herself before she ever left the vicarageShe married him like a shot before he could puzzle out what she was up to To add to Scarlett's confusion, Felicity and Marjorie were ladiesNot simply "ladies" as opposed newest dior bag to "women They were Lady Felicity and Lady Marjorie and their "dim papa" was an earlFrances Sturbridge, their disapproving chaperone, was also "Lady," they explained, but she was Lady Sturbridge, not Lady Frances, because she wasn't born a "Lady" and she'd married a man who was "only a baronet "Whereas I could marry one of the footmen and Marjorie cc run off with the boot boy, and we'd still be Lady Felicity and Marjorie in the foul sinks of Bristol where our husbands robbed poor boxes to support us Scarlett could only laugh"It's too complicated for me," she admitted"Oh, but my dear, it can be ever so much more complicated than our boring little familyWhen you get into widows and horrid little viscounts and third son's wives and so on, it's like a labyrinthMama has to hire advice every time she gives a dinner or she'd be guaranteed to insult someone fearfully importantYou simply must not seat the daughter of an earl's younger son, like Roger, prada black bags below somebody like poor FrancesIt's all too foolish for words The Cowperthwaite Ladies were more than a little giddy and rattlebrained, and Roger seemed to have inherited some of Papa's dimness, but they were a cheerful and warmhearted trio who genuinely liked Scarlett They made the trip fun for her, and she was sorry when they left the ship at LiverpoolNow she had almost two full days before she got to Galway, and she wouldn't be able to delay any longer thinking about the meeting with Rhett in Charleston, that was really no meeting at all Had he felt the same shock of recognition she had when their eyes met?

And the Romans all abandon the city for the mountains or the seaI still correspond with some delightful people whom you would enjoy I'll give you letters of introduction, of courseIf I might suggest "Oh, please, Miss JuliaThere's so much I want to know Scarlett breathed a small sigh of reliefShe didn't put it past Rhett to tell Miss Ashley about the mistake she'd made, thinking that the only Rome was in Georgia, but he'd let the chance go by Now he was putting his two cents in, talking a blue streak with the old woman about all the people with strange namesAnd Rosemary lapping it all upThe conversation interested Scarlett not at allBut she wasn't boredShe watched, fascinated, every move that Julia Ashley made as she presided at the tea tableWithout any break in the discussion of Roman antiquities-except to ask Scarlett if she took milk or lemon and how many lumps of sugar-Julia filled cups and held each one up, to a omega ladies watch constellation level slightly below her right shoulder, for one of the maids to take it from herShe held it up, waited no longer than three seconds, then removed her handShe doesn't even look!

Scarlett was startled when the manservant appeared at her side, offering her a napkin with its folds shaken out and the three-tiered stand of sandwichesShe was just about to reach out and take one when the man produced a plate, which he held near her hand for her to takeOh, I see, there's a maid handing him things for him to hand to me! Mighty complicated for a fish-paste sandwich no bigger than a bite's worthBut she was impressed by the elegance of it all, even more impressed when the man cartier watch held an elaborate silver pincer in his whitegloved hand and lifted an assortment of sandwiches onto her plateThe final touch was the small table with a lace-edged cloth on it that the second maid placed beside her knees just when she was wondering how she was going to manage, with a cup and saucer in one hand and a plate in the otherDespite her hunger and her curiosity about the sandwiches- what kind of fancy food called for such fancy serving?-Scarlett was more interested in the silent efficient routine of the servants as first Rosemary and then Rhett were provided with plate, sandwiches, tableIt was almost a disappointment when Miss Ashley was given no special treatment, only a return of the stand to the table in front of her Fiddle-dee-dee!
