Rhett
said
they
would
not
have
come
at
all
,
except
for
fear
of
violence
at
the
hands
of
Melanie
.
Where
he
got
this
idea
,
Scarlett
did
not
know
but
she
dismissed
it
with
the
contempt
it
deserved
.
For
what
possible
influence
could
Melanie
have
on
people
like
Mrs.
Elsing
and
Mrs.
Merriwether
?
That
they
did
not
call
again
worried
her
very
little
;
in
fact
,
their
absence
was
hardly
noticed
,
for
her
suite
was
crowded
with
guests
of
another
type
.
"
New
people
,
"
established
Atlantians
called
them
,
when
they
were
not
calling
them
something
less
polite
.
There
were
many
"
new
people
"
staying
at
the
National
Hotel
who
,
like
Rhett
and
Scarlett
,
were
waiting
for
their
houses
to
be
completed
.
They
were
gay
,
wealthy
people
,
very
much
like
Rhett
's
New
Orleans
friends
,
elegant
of
dress
,
free
with
their
money
,
vague
as
to
their
antecedents
.
All
the
men
were
Republicans
and
were
"
in
Atlanta
on
business
connected
with
the
state
government
.
"
Just
what
the
business
was
,
Scarlett
did
not
know
and
did
not
trouble
to
learn
.
Rhett
could
have
told
her
exactly
what
it
was
--
the
same
business
that
buzzards
have
with
dying
animals
.
They
smelled
death
from
afar
and
were
drawn
unerringly
to
it
,
to
gorge
themselves
.
Government
of
Georgia
by
its
own
citizens
was
dead
,
the
state
was
helpless
and
the
adventurers
were
swarming
in
.
The
wives
of
Rhett
's
Scallawag
and
Carpetbagger
friends
called
in
droves
and
so
did
the
"
new
people
"
she
had
met
when
she
sold
lumber
for
their
homes
.
Rhett
said
that
,
having
done
business
with
them
,
she
should
receive
them
and
,
having
received
them
,
she
found
them
pleasant
company
.
They
wore
lovely
clothes
and
never
talked
about
the
war
or
hard
times
,
but
confined
the
conversation
to
fashions
,
scandals
and
whist
.
Scarlett
had
never
played
cards
before
and
she
took
to
whist
with
joy
,
becoming
a
good
player
in
a
short
time
.
Whenever
she
was
at
the
hotel
there
was
a
crowd
of
whist
players
in
her
suite
.
But
she
was
not
often
in
her
suite
these
days
,
for
she
was
too
busy
with
the
building
of
her
new
house
to
be
bothered
with
callers
.
These
days
she
did
not
much
care
whether
she
had
callers
or
not
.
She
wanted
to
delay
her
social
activities
until
the
day
when
the
house
was
finished
and
she
could
emerge
as
the
mistress
of
Atlanta
's
largest
mansion
,
the
hostess
of
the
town
's
most
elaborate
entertainments
.
Through
the
long
warm
days
she
watched
her
red
stone
and
gray
shingle
house
rise
grandly
,
to
tower
above
any
other
house
on
Peachtree
Street
.
Forgetful
of
the
store
and
the
mills
,
she
spent
her
time
on
the
lot
,
arguing
with
carpenters
,
bickering
with
masons
,
harrying
the
contractor
.
As
the
walls
went
swiftly
up
she
thought
with
satisfaction
that
,
when
finished
,
it
would
be
larger
and
finer
looking
than
any
other
house
in
town
.
It
would
be
even
more
imposing
than
the
near-by
James
residence
which
had
just
been
purchased
for
the
official
mansion
of
Governor
Bullock
.
The
governor
's
mansion
was
brave
with
jigsaw
work
on
banisters
and
eaves
,
but
the
intricate
scrollwork
on
Scarlett
's
house
put
the
mansion
to
shame
.
The
mansion
had
a
ballroom
,
but
it
looked
like
a
billiard
table
compared
with
the
enormous
room
that
covered
the
entire
third
floor
of
Scarlett
's
house
.
In
fact
,
her
house
had
more
of
everything
than
the
mansion
,
or
any
other
house
in
town
for
that
matter
,
more
cupolas
and
turrets
and
towers
and
balconies
and
lightning
rods
and
far
more
windows
with
colored
panes
.
A
veranda
encircled
the
entire
house
,
and
four
flights
of
steps
on
the
four
sides
of
the
building
led
up
to
it
.
The
yard
was
wide
and
green
and
scattered
about
it
were
rustic
iron
benches
,
an
iron
summerhouse
,
fashionably
called
a
"
gazebo
"
which
,
Scarlett
had
been
assured
,
was
of
pure
Gothic
design
,
and
two
large
iron
statues
,
one
a
stag
and
the
other
a
mastiff
as
large
as
a
Shetland
pony
.
To
Wade
and
Ella
,
a
little
dazzled
by
the
size
,
splendor
and
fashionable
dark
gloom
of
their
new
home
,
these
two
metal
animals
were
the
only
cheerful
notes
.
