She
had
no
bust
and
her
hips
were
as
flat
as
little
Beau
's
and
as
she
had
neither
the
pride
nor
the
good
sense
(
so
Scarlett
thought
)
to
sew
ruffles
in
the
bosom
of
her
basque
or
pads
on
the
back
of
her
corsets
,
her
thinness
was
very
obvious
.
Like
her
body
,
her
face
was
too
thin
and
too
pale
and
her
silky
brows
,
arched
and
delicate
as
a
butterfly
's
feelers
,
stood
out
too
blackly
against
her
colorless
skin
.
In
her
small
face
,
her
eyes
were
too
large
for
beauty
,
the
dark
smudges
under
them
making
them
appear
enormous
,
but
the
expression
in
them
had
not
altered
since
the
days
of
her
unworried
girlhood
.
War
and
constant
pain
and
hard
work
had
been
powerless
against
their
sweet
tranquillity
.
They
were
the
eyes
of
a
happy
woman
,
a
woman
around
whom
storms
might
blow
without
ever
ruffling
the
serene
core
of
her
being
.
How
did
she
keep
her
eyes
that
way
,
thought
Scarlett
,
looking
at
her
enviously
.
She
knew
her
own
eyes
sometimes
had
the
look
of
a
hungry
cat
.
What
was
it
Rhett
had
said
once
about
Melanie
's
eyes
--
some
foolishness
about
them
being
like
candles
?
Oh
,
yes
,
like
two
good
deeds
in
a
naughty
world
.
Yes
,
they
were
like
candles
,
candles
shielded
from
every
wind
,
two
soft
lights
glowing
with
happiness
at
being
home
again
among
her
friends
.
The
little
house
was
always
full
of
company
.
Melanie
had
been
a
favorite
even
as
a
child
and
the
town
flocked
to
welcome
her
home
again
.
Everyone
brought
presents
for
the
house
,
bric-a-brac
,
pictures
,
a
silver
spoon
or
two
,
linen
pillow
cases
,
napkins
,
rag
rugs
,
small
articles
which
they
had
saved
from
Sherman
and
treasured
but
which
they
now
swore
were
of
no
earthly
use
to
them
.
Old
men
who
had
campaigned
in
Mexico
with
her
father
came
to
see
her
,
bringing
visitors
to
meet
"
old
Colonel
Hamilton
's
sweet
daughter
.
"
Her
mother
's
old
friends
clustered
about
her
,
for
Melanie
had
a
respectful
deference
to
her
elders
that
was
very
soothing
to
dowagers
in
these
wild
days
when
young
people
seemed
to
have
forgotten
all
their
manners
.
Her
contemporaries
,
the
young
wives
,
mothers
and
widows
,
loved
her
because
she
had
suffered
what
they
had
suffered
,
had
not
become
embittered
and
always
lent
them
a
sympathetic
ear
.
The
young
people
came
,
as
young
people
always
come
,
simply
because
they
had
a
good
time
at
her
home
and
met
there
the
friends
they
wanted
to
meet
.
Around
Melanie
's
tactful
and
self-effacing
person
,
there
rapidly
grew
up
a
clique
of
young
and
old
who
represented
what
was
left
of
the
best
of
Atlanta
's
ante-bellum
society
,
all
poor
in
purse
,
all
proud
in
family
,
die-hards
of
the
stoutest
variety
.
It
was
as
if
Atlanta
society
,
scattered
and
wrecked
by
war
,
depleted
by
death
,
bewildered
by
change
,
had
found
in
her
an
unyielding
nucleus
about
which
it
could
re-form
.
Melanie
was
young
but
she
had
in
her
all
the
qualities
this
embattled
remnant
prized
,
poverty
and
pride
in
poverty
,
uncomplaining
courage
,
gaiety
,
hospitality
,
kindness
and
,
above
all
,
loyalty
to
all
the
old
traditions
.
Melanie
refused
to
change
,
refused
even
to
admit
that
there
was
any
reason
to
change
in
a
changing
world
.
Under
her
roof
the
old
days
seemed
to
come
back
again
and
people
took
heart
and
felt
even
more
contemptuous
of
the
tide
of
wild
life
and
high
living
that
was
sweeping
the
Carpetbaggers
and
newly
rich
Republicans
along
.
When
they
looked
into
her
young
face
and
saw
there
the
inflexible
loyalty
to
the
old
days
,
they
could
forget
,
for
a
moment
,
the
traitors
within
their
own
class
who
were
causing
fury
,
fear
and
heartbreak
.
And
there
were
many
such
.
There
were
men
of
good
family
,
driven
to
desperation
by
poverty
,
who
had
gone
over
to
the
enemy
,
become
Republicans
and
accepted
positions
from
the
conquerors
,
so
their
families
would
not
be
on
charity
.
There
were
young
ex-soldiers
who
lacked
the
courage
to
face
the
long
years
necessary
to
build
up
fortunes
.
These
youngsters
,
following
the
lead
of
Rhett
Butler
,
went
hand
in
hand
with
the
Carpetbaggers
in
money-making
schemes
of
unsavory
kinds
.
Worst
of
all
the
traitors
were
the
daughters
of
some
of
Atlanta
's
most
prominent
families
.
These
girls
who
had
come
to
maturity
since
the
surrender
had
only
childish
memories
of
the
war
and
lacked
the
bitterness
that
animated
their
elders
.
They
had
lost
no
husbands
,
no
lovers
.
They
had
few
recollections
of
past
wealth
and
splendor
--
and
the
Yankee
officers
were
so
handsome
and
finely
dressed
and
so
carefree
.
