"
It
's
a
matter
of
supreme
indifference
to
me
whether
you
come
or
not
,
"
said
Scarlett
,
putting
on
her
bonnet
and
going
home
in
a
huff
.
There
was
some
satisfaction
to
her
wounded
vanity
in
the
hurt
look
on
Melanie
's
face
.
In
the
weeks
that
followed
her
first
party
,
Scarlett
was
hard
put
to
keep
up
her
pretense
of
supreme
indifference
to
public
opinion
.
When
she
did
not
receive
calls
from
old
friends
,
except
Melanie
and
Pitty
and
Uncle
Henry
and
Ashley
,
and
did
not
get
cards
to
their
modest
entertainments
,
she
was
genuinely
puzzled
and
hurt
.
Had
she
not
gone
out
of
her
way
to
bury
old
hatchets
and
show
these
people
that
she
bore
them
no
ill
will
for
their
gossiping
and
backbiting
?
Surely
they
must
know
that
she
did
n't
like
Governor
Bullock
any
more
than
they
did
but
that
it
was
expedient
to
be
nice
to
him
.
The
idiots
!
If
everybody
would
be
nice
to
the
Republicans
,
Georgia
would
get
out
of
the
fix
she
was
in
very
quickly
.
She
did
not
realize
then
that
with
one
stroke
she
had
cut
forever
any
fragile
tie
that
still
bound
her
to
the
old
days
,
to
old
friends
.
Not
even
Melanie
's
influence
could
repair
the
break
of
that
gossamer
thread
.
And
Melanie
,
bewildered
,
broken
hearted
but
still
loyal
,
did
not
try
to
repair
it
.
Even
had
Scarlett
wanted
to
turn
back
to
old
ways
,
old
friends
,
there
was
no
turning
back
possible
now
.
The
face
of
the
town
was
set
against
her
as
stonily
as
granite
.
The
hate
that
enveloped
the
Bullock
regime
enveloped
her
too
,
a
hate
that
had
little
fire
and
fury
in
it
but
much
cold
implacability
.
Scarlett
had
cast
her
lot
with
the
enemy
and
,
whatever
her
birth
and
family
connections
,
she
was
now
in
the
category
of
a
turncoat
,
a
nigger
lover
,
a
traitor
,
a
Republican
--
and
a
Scallawag
.
After
a
miserable
while
,
Scarlett
's
pretended
indifference
gave
way
to
the
real
thing
.
She
had
never
been
one
to
worry
long
over
the
vagaries
of
human
conduct
or
to
be
cast
down
for
long
if
one
line
of
action
failed
.
Soon
she
did
not
care
what
the
Merriwethers
,
the
Elsings
,
the
Whitings
,
the
Bonnells
,
the
Meades
and
others
thought
of
her
.
At
least
,
Melanie
called
,
bringing
Ashley
,
and
Ashley
was
the
one
who
mattered
the
most
.
And
there
were
other
people
in
Atlanta
who
would
come
to
her
parties
,
other
people
far
more
congenial
than
those
hide-bound
old
hens
.
Any
time
she
wanted
to
fill
her
house
with
guests
,
she
could
do
so
and
these
guests
would
be
far
more
entertaining
,
far
more
handsomely
dressed
than
those
prissy
,
strait-laced
old
fools
who
disapproved
of
her
.
These
people
were
newcomers
to
Atlanta
.
Some
of
them
were
acquaintances
of
Rhett
,
some
associated
with
him
in
those
mysterious
affairs
which
he
referred
to
as
"
mere
business
,
my
pet
.
"
Some
were
couples
Scarlett
had
met
when
she
was
living
at
the
National
Hotel
and
some
were
Governor
Bullock
's
appointees
.
The
set
with
which
she
was
now
moving
was
a
motley
crew
.
Among
them
were
the
Gelerts
who
had
lived
in
a
dozen
different
states
and
who
apparently
had
left
each
one
hastily
upon
detection
of
their
swindling
schemes
;
the
Conningtons
whose
connection
with
the
Freedmen
's
Bureau
in
a
distant
state
had
been
highly
lucrative
at
the
expense
of
the
ignorant
blacks
they
were
supposed
to
protect
;
the
Deals
who
had
sold
"
cardboard
"
shoes
to
the
Confederate
government
until
it
became
necessary
for
them
to
spend
the
last
year
of
the
war
in
Europe
;
the
Hundons
who
had
police
records
in
many
cities
but
nevertheless
were
often
successful
bidders
on
state
contracts
;
the
Carahans
who
had
gotten
their
start
in
a
gambling
house
and
now
were
gambling
for
bigger
stakes
in
the
building
of
nonexistent
railroads
with
the
state
's
money
;
the
Flahertys
who
had
bought
salt
at
one
cent
a
pound
in
1861
and
made
a
fortune
when
salt
went
to
fifty
cents
in
1863
,
and
the
Barts
who
had
owned
the
largest
brothel
in
a
Northern
metropolis
during
the
war
and
now
were
moving
in
the
best
circles
of
Carpetbagger
society
.
Such
people
were
Scarlett
's
intimates
now
,
but
those
who
attended
her
larger
receptions
included
others
of
some
culture
and
refinement
,
many
of
excellent
families
.
In
addition
to
the
Carpetbag
gentry
,
substantial
people
from
the
North
were
moving
into
Atlanta
,
attracted
by
the
never
ceasing
business
activity
of
the
town
in
this
period
of
rebuilding
and
expansion
.
