Along
the
way
to
the
lumber
yard
she
stopped
a
dozen
times
to
speak
with
Carpetbagger
ladies
in
splendid
equipages
--
not
so
splendid
as
her
own
,
she
thought
with
pleasure
--
and
with
many
men
who
came
through
the
red
dust
of
the
street
to
stand
hat
in
hand
and
compliment
her
.
It
was
a
beautiful
afternoon
,
she
was
happy
,
she
looked
pretty
and
her
progress
was
a
royal
one
.
Because
of
these
delays
she
arrived
at
the
lumber
yard
later
than
she
intended
and
found
Hugh
and
the
team
drivers
sitting
on
a
low
pile
of
lumber
waiting
for
her
.
"
Is
Ashley
here
?
"
"
Yes
,
he
's
in
the
office
,
"
said
Hugh
,
the
habitually
worried
expression
leaving
his
face
at
the
sight
of
her
happy
,
dancing
eyes
.
"
He
's
trying
to
--
I
mean
,
he
's
going
over
the
books
.
"
"
Oh
,
he
need
n't
bother
about
that
today
,
"
she
said
and
then
lowering
her
voice
:
"
Melly
sent
me
down
to
keep
him
here
till
they
get
the
house
straight
for
the
reception
tonight
.
"
Hugh
smiled
for
he
was
going
to
the
reception
.
He
liked
parties
and
he
guessed
Scarlett
did
too
from
the
way
she
looked
this
afternoon
.
She
paid
off
the
teamsters
and
Hugh
and
,
abruptly
leaving
them
,
walked
toward
the
office
,
showing
plainly
by
her
manner
that
she
did
not
care
to
be
accompanied
.
Ashley
met
her
at
the
door
and
stood
in
the
afternoon
sunshine
,
his
hair
bright
and
on
his
lips
a
little
smile
that
was
almost
a
grin
.
"
Why
,
Scarlett
,
what
are
you
doing
downtown
this
time
of
the
day
?
Why
are
n't
you
out
at
my
house
helping
Melly
get
ready
for
the
surprise
party
?
"
"
Why
,
Ashley
Wilkes
!
"
she
cried
indignantly
.
"
You
were
n't
supposed
to
know
a
thing
about
it
.
Melly
will
be
so
disappointed
if
you
are
n't
surprised
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
wo
n't
let
on
.
I
'll
be
the
most
surprised
man
in
Atlanta
,
"
said
Ashley
,
his
eyes
laughing
.
"
Now
,
who
was
mean
enough
to
tell
you
?
"
"
Practically
every
man
Melly
invited
.
General
Gordon
was
the
first
.
He
said
it
had
been
his
experience
that
when
women
gave
surprise
parties
they
usually
gave
them
on
the
very
nights
men
had
decided
to
polish
and
clean
all
the
guns
in
the
house
.
And
then
Grandpa
Merriwether
warned
me
.
He
said
Mrs.
Merriwether
gave
him
a
surprise
party
once
and
she
was
the
most
surprised
person
there
,
because
Grandpa
had
been
treating
his
rheumatism
,
on
the
sly
,
with
a
bottle
of
whisky
and
he
was
too
drunk
to
get
out
of
bed
and
--
oh
,
every
man
who
's
ever
had
a
surprise
party
given
him
told
me
.
