To
Mammy
's
indignation
,
her
preferred
playmates
were
not
her
demure
sisters
or
the
well-brought-up
Wilkes
girls
but
the
negro
children
on
the
plantation
and
the
boys
of
the
neighborhood
,
and
she
could
climb
a
tree
or
throw
a
rock
as
well
as
any
of
them
.
Mammy
was
greatly
perturbed
that
Ellen
's
daughter
should
display
such
traits
and
frequently
adjured
her
to
"
ack
lak
a
lil
lady
.
"
But
Ellen
took
a
more
tolerant
and
long-sighted
view
of
the
matter
.
She
knew
that
from
childhood
playmates
grew
beaux
in
later
years
,
and
the
first
duty
of
a
girl
was
to
get
married
.
She
told
herself
that
the
child
was
merely
full
of
life
and
there
was
still
time
in
which
to
teach
her
the
arts
and
graces
of
being
attractive
to
men
.
To
this
end
,
Ellen
and
Mammy
bent
their
efforts
,
and
as
Scarlett
grew
older
she
became
an
apt
pupil
in
this
subject
,
even
though
she
learned
little
else
.
Despite
a
succession
of
governesses
and
two
years
at
the
near-by
Fayetteville
Female
Academy
,
her
education
was
sketchy
,
but
no
girl
in
the
County
danced
more
gracefully
than
she
.
She
knew
how
to
smile
so
that
her
dimples
leaped
,
how
to
walk
pigeon-toed
so
that
her
wide
hoop
skirts
swayed
entrancingly
,
how
to
look
up
into
a
man
's
face
and
then
drop
her
eyes
and
bat
the
lids
rapidly
so
that
she
seemed
a-tremble
with
gentle
emotion
.
Most
of
all
she
learned
how
to
conceal
from
men
a
sharp
intelligence
beneath
a
face
as
sweet
and
bland
as
a
baby
's
.
Ellen
,
by
soft-voiced
admonition
,
and
Mammy
,
by
constant
carping
,
labored
to
inculcate
in
her
the
qualities
that
would
make
her
truly
desirable
as
a
wife
.
"
You
must
be
more
gentle
,
dear
,
more
sedate
,
"
Ellen
told
her
daughter
.
"
You
must
not
interrupt
gentlemen
when
they
are
speaking
,
even
if
you
do
think
you
know
more
about
matters
than
they
do
.
Gentlemen
do
not
like
forward
girls
.

"
Between
them
,
they
taught
her
all
that
a
gentlewoman
should
know
,
but
she
learned
only
the
outward
signs
of
gentility
.
The
inner
grace
from
which
these
signs
should
spring
,
she
never
learned
nor
did
she
see
any
reason
for
learning
it
.
Appearances
were
enough
,
for
the
appearances
of
ladyhood
won
her
popularity
and
that
was
all
she
wanted
.
Gerald
bragged
that
she
was
the
belle
of
five
counties
,
and
with
some
truth
,
for
she
had
received
proposals
from
nearly
all
the
young
men
in
the
neighborhood
and
many
from
places
as
far
away
as
Atlanta
and
Savannah
.
At
sixteen
,
thanks
to
Mammy
and
Ellen
,
she
looked
sweet
,
charming
and
giddy
,
but
she
was
,
in
reality
,
self-willed
,
vain
and
obstinate
.
She
had
the
easily
stirred
passions
of
her
Irish
father
and
nothing
except
the
thinnest
veneer
of
her
mother
's
unselfish
and
forbearing
nature
.
Ellen
never
fully
realized
that
it
was
only
a
veneer
,
for
Scarlett
always
showed
her
best
face
to
her
mother
,
concealing
her
escapades
,
curbing
her
temper
and
appearing
as
sweet-natured
as
she
could
in
Ellen
's
presence
,
for
her
mother
could
shame
her
to
tears
with
a
reproachful
glance
.
But
Mammy
was
under
no
illusions
about
her
and
was
constantly
alert
for
breaks
in
the
veneer
.
Mammy
's
eyes
were
sharper
than
Ellen
's
,
and
Scarlett
could
never
recall
in
all
her
life
having
fooled
Mammy
for
long
.
It
was
not
that
these
two
loving
mentors
deplored
Scarlett
's
high
spirits
,
vivacity
and
charm
.
These
were
traits
of
which
Southern
women
were
proud
.
It
was
Gerald
's
headstrong
and
impetuous
nature
in
her
that
gave
them
concern
,
and
they
sometimes
feared
they
would
not
be
able
to
conceal
her
damaging
qualities
until
she
had
made
a
good
match
.
