After
tilts
with
him
from
which
she
seldom
emerged
the
victor
she
vowed
he
was
impossible
,
ill-bred
and
no
gentleman
and
she
would
have
nothing
more
to
do
with
him
.
But
sooner
or
later
,
he
returned
to
Atlanta
,
called
,
presumably
on
Aunt
Pitty
,
and
presented
Scarlett
,
with
overdone
gallantry
,
a
box
of
bonbons
he
had
brought
her
from
Nassau
.
Or
preempted
a
seat
by
her
at
a
musicale
or
claimed
her
at
a
dance
,
and
she
was
usually
so
amused
by
his
bland
impudence
that
she
laughed
and
overlooked
his
past
misdeeds
until
the
next
occurred
.
For
all
his
exasperating
qualities
,
she
grew
to
look
forward
to
his
calls
.
There
was
something
exciting
about
him
that
she
could
not
analyze
,
something
different
from
any
man
she
had
ever
known
.
There
was
something
breathtaking
in
the
grace
of
his
big
body
which
made
his
very
entrance
into
a
room
like
an
abrupt
physical
impact
,
something
in
the
impertinence
and
bland
mockery
of
his
dark
eyes
that
challenged
her
spirit
to
subdue
him
.
"
It
's
almost
like
I
was
in
love
with
him
!
"
she
thought
,
bewildered
.
"
But
I
'm
not
and
I
just
ca
n't
understand
it
.
"
But
the
exciting
feeling
persisted
.
When
he
came
to
call
,
his
complete
masculinity
made
Aunt
Pitty
's
well-bred
and
ladylike
house
seem
small
,
pale
and
a
trifle
fusty
.
Scarlett
was
not
the
only
member
of
the
household
who
reacted
strangely
and
unwillingly
to
his
presence
,
for
he
kept
Aunt
Pitty
in
a
flutter
and
a
ferment
.
While
Pitty
knew
Ellen
would
disapprove
of
his
calls
on
her
daughter
,
and
knew
also
that
the
edict
of
Charleston
banning
him
from
polite
society
was
not
one
to
be
lightly
disregarded
,
she
could
no
more
resist
his
elaborate
compliments
and
hand
kissing
than
a
fly
can
resist
a
honey
pot
.
Moreover
,
he
usually
brought
her
some
little
gift
from
Nassau
which
he
assured
her
he
had
purchased
especially
for
her
and
blockaded
in
at
risk
of
his
life
--
papers
of
pins
and
needles
,
buttons
,
spools
of
silk
thread
and
hairpins
.
It
was
almost
impossible
to
obtain
these
small
luxuries
now
--
ladies
were
wearing
hand-whittled
wooden
hairpins
and
covering
acorns
with
cloth
for
buttons
--
and
Pitty
lacked
the
moral
stamina
to
refuse
them
.
Besides
,
she
had
a
childish
love
of
surprise
packages
and
could
not
resist
opening
his
gifts
.
And
,
having
once
opened
them
,
she
did
not
feel
that
she
could
refuse
them
.
Then
,
having
accepted
his
gifts
,
she
could
not
summon
courage
enough
to
tell
him
his
reputation
made
it
improper
for
him
to
call
on
three
lone
women
who
had
no
male
protector
.
Aunt
Pitty
always
felt
that
she
needed
a
male
protector
when
Rhett
Butler
was
in
the
house
.
"
I
do
n't
know
what
it
is
about
him
,
"
she
would
sigh
helplessly
.
"
But
--
well
,
I
think
he
'd
be
a
nice
,
attractive
man
if
I
could
just
feel
that
--
well
,
that
deep
down
in
his
heart
he
respected
women
.
"
Since
the
return
of
her
wedding
ring
,
Melanie
had
felt
that
Rhett
was
a
gentleman
of
rare
refinement
and
delicacy
and
she
was
shocked
at
this
remark
.
He
was
unfailingly
courteous
to
her
,
but
she
was
a
little
timid
with
him
,
largely
because
she
was
shy
with
any
man
she
had
not
known
from
childhood
.
Secretly
she
was
very
sorry
for
him
,
a
feeling
which
would
have
amused
him
had
he
been
aware
of
it
.
She
was
certain
that
some
romantic
sorrow
had
blighted
his
life
and
made
him
hard
and
bitter
,
and
she
felt
that
what
he
needed
was
the
love
of
a
good
woman
.
In
all
her
sheltered
life
she
had
never
seen
evil
and
could
scarcely
credit
its
existence
,
and
when
gossip
whispered
things
about
Rhett
and
the
girl
in
Charleston
she
was
shocked
and
unbelieving
.
And
,
instead
of
turning
her
against
him
,
it
only
made
her
more
timidly
gracious
toward
him
because
of
her
indignation
at
what
she
fancied
was
a
gross
injustice
done
him
.
