Melanie
sat
facing
her
,
in
a
low
chair
,
her
feet
firmly
planted
on
an
ottoman
so
high
that
her
knees
stuck
up
like
a
child
's
,
a
posture
she
would
never
have
assumed
had
not
rage
possessed
her
to
the
point
of
forgetting
proprieties
.
She
held
a
line
of
tatting
in
her
hands
and
she
was
driving
the
shining
needle
back
and
forth
as
furiously
as
though
handling
a
rapier
in
a
duel
.
Had
Scarlett
been
possessed
of
such
an
anger
,
she
would
have
been
stamping
both
feet
and
roaring
like
Gerald
in
his
finest
days
,
calling
on
God
to
witness
the
accursed
duplicity
and
knavishness
of
mankind
and
uttering
blood-curdling
threats
of
retaliation
.
But
only
by
the
flashing
needle
and
the
delicate
brows
drawn
down
toward
her
nose
did
Melanie
indicate
that
she
was
inwardly
seething
.
Her
voice
was
cool
and
her
words
were
more
close
clipped
than
usual
.
But
the
forceful
words
she
uttered
were
foreign
to
Melanie
who
seldom
voiced
an
opinion
at
all
and
never
an
unkind
word
.
Scarlett
realized
suddenly
that
the
Wilkeses
and
the
Hamiltons
were
capable
of
furies
equal
to
and
surpassing
those
of
the
O'Haras
.

"
I
've
gotten
mighty
tired
of
hearing
people
criticize
you
,
darling
,
"
Melanie
said
,
"
and
this
is
the
last
straw
and
I
'm
going
to
do
something
about
it
.
All
this
has
happened
because
people
are
jealous
of
you
,
because
you
are
so
smart
and
successful
.
You
've
succeeded
where
lots
of
men
,
even
,
have
failed
.
Now
,
do
n't
be
vexed
with
me
,
dear
,
for
saying
that
.
I
do
n't
mean
you
've
ever
been
unwomanly
or
unsexed
yourself
,
as
lots
of
folks
have
said
.
Because
you
have
n't
.
People
just
do
n't
understand
you
and
people
ca
n't
bear
for
women
to
be
smart
.
But
your
smartness
and
your
success
do
n't
give
people
the
right
to
say
that
you
and
Ashley
--
Stars
above
!
"
The
soft
vehemence
of
this
last
ejaculation
would
have
been
,
upon
a
man
's
lips
,
profanity
of
no
uncertain
meaning
.
Scarlett
stared
at
her
,
alarmed
by
so
unprecedented
an
outburst
.
"
And
for
them
to
come
to
me
with
the
filthy
lies
they
'd
concocted
--
Archie
,
India
,
Mrs.
Elsing
!
How
did
they
dare
?
Of
course
,
Mrs.
Elsing
did
n't
come
here
.
No
,
indeed
,
she
did
n't
have
the
courage
.
But
she
's
always
hated
you
,
darling
,
because
you
were
more
popular
than
Fanny
.
And
she
was
so
incensed
at
your
demoting
Hugh
from
the
management
of
the
mill
.
But
you
were
quite
right
in
demoting
him
.
He
's
just
a
piddling
,
do-less
,
good-for-nothing
!
"
Swiftly
Melanie
dismissed
the
playmate
of
her
childhood
and
the
beau
of
her
teen
years
.
"
I
blame
myself
about
Archie
.
I
should
n't
have
given
the
old
scoundrel
shelter
.
Everyone
told
me
so
but
I
would
n't
listen
.
He
did
n't
like
you
,
dear
,
because
of
the
convicts
,
but
who
is
he
to
criticize
you
?
A
murderer
,
and
the
murderer
of
a
woman
,
too
!
And
after
all
I
've
done
for
him
,
he
comes
to
me
and
tells
me
--
I
should
n't
have
been
a
bit
sorry
if
Ashley
had
shot
him
.
Well
,
I
packed
him
off
with
a
large
flea
in
his
ear
,
I
can
tell
you
!
And
he
's
left
town
.

"
And
as
for
India
,
the
vile
thing
!
Darling
,
I
could
n't
help
noticing
from
the
first
time
I
saw
you
two
together
that
she
was
jealous
of
you
and
hated
you
,
because
you
were
so
much
prettier
and
had
so
many
beaux
.
And
she
hated
you
especially
about
Stuart
Tarleton
.
And
she
's
brooded
about
Stuart
so
much
that
--
well
,
I
hate
to
say
it
about
Ashley
's
sister
but
I
think
her
mind
has
broken
with
thinking
so
much
!
There
's
no
other
explanation
for
her
action
...
I
told
her
never
to
put
foot
in
this
house
again
and
that
if
I
heard
her
breathe
so
vile
an
insinuation
I
would
--
I
would
call
her
a
liar
in
public
!
"
Melanie
stopped
speaking
and
abruptly
the
anger
left
her
face
and
sorrow
swamped
it
.
Melanie
had
all
that
passionate
clan
loyalty
peculiar
to
Georgians
and
the
thought
of
a
family
quarrel
tore
her
heart
.
She
faltered
for
a
moment
.
But
Scarlett
was
dearest
,
Scarlett
came
first
in
her
heart
,
and
she
went
on
loyally
:
