Pitty
was
not
overly
fond
of
India
,
for
India
intimidated
her
with
her
dry
,
stiff-necked
ways
and
her
passionate
convictions
.
But
she
made
it
possible
for
Pitty
to
keep
her
own
comfortable
establishment
and
Pitty
was
always
swayed
more
by
considerations
of
personal
comfort
than
by
moral
issues
.
And
so
India
remained
.
But
her
presence
in
the
house
made
Aunt
Pitty
a
storm
center
,
for
both
Scarlett
and
Melanie
took
that
to
mean
that
she
sided
with
India
.
Scarlett
curtly
refused
to
contribute
more
money
to
Pitty
's
establishment
as
long
as
India
was
under
the
same
roof
.
Ashley
sent
India
money
every
week
and
every
week
India
proudly
and
silently
returned
it
,
much
to
the
old
lady
's
alarm
and
regret
.
Finances
at
the
red-brick
house
would
have
been
in
a
deplorable
state
,
but
for
Uncle
Henry
's
intervention
,
and
it
humiliated
Pitty
to
take
money
from
him
.
Pitty
loved
Melanie
better
than
anyone
in
the
world
,
except
herself
,
and
now
Melly
acted
like
a
cool
,
polite
stranger
.
Though
she
practically
lived
in
Pitty
's
back
yard
,
she
never
once
came
through
the
hedge
and
she
used
to
run
in
and
out
a
dozen
times
a
day
.
Pitty
called
on
her
and
wept
and
protested
her
love
and
devotion
,
but
Melanie
always
refused
to
discuss
matters
and
never
returned
the
calls
.
Pitty
knew
very
well
what
she
owed
Scarlett
--
almost
her
very
existence
.
Certainly
in
those
black
days
after
the
war
when
Pitty
was
faced
with
the
alternative
of
Brother
Henry
or
starvation
,
Scarlett
had
kept
her
home
for
her
,
fed
her
,
clothed
her
and
enabled
her
to
hold
up
her
head
in
Atlanta
society
.
And
since
Scarlett
had
married
and
moved
into
her
own
home
,
she
had
been
generosity
itself
.
And
that
frightening
fascinating
Captain
Butler
--
frequently
after
he
called
with
Scarlett
,
Pitty
found
brand-new
purses
stuffed
with
bills
on
her
console
table
or
lace
handkerchiefs
knotted
about
gold
pieces
which
had
been
slyly
slipped
into
her
sewing
box
.
Rhett
always
vowed
he
knew
nothing
about
them
and
accused
her
,
in
a
very
unrefined
way
,
of
having
a
secret
admirer
,
usually
the
be-whiskered
Grandpa
Merriwether
.
Yes
,
Pitty
owed
love
to
Melanie
,
security
to
Scarlett
,
and
what
did
she
owe
India
?
Nothing
,
except
that
India
's
presence
kept
her
from
having
to
break
up
her
pleasant
life
and
make
decisions
for
herself
It
was
all
most
distressing
and
too
,
too
vulgar
and
Pitty
,
who
had
never
made
a
decision
for
herself
in
her
whole
life
,
simply
let
matters
go
on
as
they
were
and
as
a
result
spent
much
time
in
uncomforted
tears
.
In
the
end
,
some
people
believed
whole-heartedly
in
Scarlett
's
innocence
,
not
because
of
her
own
personal
virtue
but
because
Melanie
believed
in
it
.
Some
had
mental
reservations
but
they
were
courteous
to
Scarlett
and
called
on
her
because
they
loved
Melanie
and
wished
to
keep
her
love
.
India
's
adherents
bowed
coldly
and
some
few
cut
her
openly
.
These
last
were
embarrassing
,
infuriating
,
but
Scarlett
realized
that
,
except
for
Melanie
's
championship
and
her
quick
action
,
the
face
of
the
whole
town
would
have
been
set
against
her
and
she
would
have
been
an
outcast
.
Rhett
was
gone
for
three
months
and
during
that
time
Scarlett
had
no
word
from
him
.
She
did
not
know
where
he
was
or
how
long
he
would
be
gone
.
Indeed
,
she
had
no
idea
if
he
would
ever
return
.
During
this
time
,
she
went
about
her
business
with
her
head
high
and
her
heart
sick
.
She
did
not
feel
well
physically
but
,
forced
by
Melanie
,
she
went
to
the
store
every
day
and
tried
to
keep
up
a
superficial
interest
in
the
mills
.
But
the
store
palled
on
her
for
the
first
time
and
,
although
the
business
was
treble
what
it
had
been
the
year
before
and
the
money
rolling
in
,
she
could
take
no
interest
in
it
and
was
sharp
and
cross
with
the
clerks
.
Johnnie
Gallegher
's
mill
was
thriving
and
the
lumber
yard
selling
all
his
supply
easily
,
but
nothing
Johnnie
did
or
said
pleased
her
.
Johnnie
,
as
Irish
as
she
,
finally
erupted
into
rage
at
her
naggings
and
threatened
to
quit
,
after
a
long
tirade
which
ended
with
"
and
the
back
of
both
me
hands
to
you
,
Ma
'm
,
and
the
curse
of
Cromwell
on
you
.
"
She
had
to
appease
him
with
the
most
abject
of
apologies
.
She
never
went
to
Ashley
's
mill
.
Nor
did
she
go
to
the
lumber-yard
office
when
she
thought
he
would
be
there
.
She
knew
he
was
avoiding
her
,
knew
that
her
constant
presence
in
his
house
,
at
Melanie
's
inescapable
invitations
,
was
a
torment
to
him
.
They
never
spoke
alone
and
she
was
desperate
to
question
him
.
She
wanted
to
know
whether
he
now
hated
her
and
exactly
what
he
had
told
Melanie
,
but
he
held
her
at
arm
's
length
and
silently
pleaded
with
her
not
to
speak
.
