"
And
the
money
has
made
you
very
,
very
happy
,
has
n't
it
,
darling
?
"
he
asked
,
poisonously
sweet
.
Scarlett
stopped
short
,
her
mouth
open
,
and
her
eyes
went
swiftly
to
the
eyes
of
the
other
three
.
Melanie
was
almost
crying
with
embarrassment
,
Ashley
was
suddenly
bleak
and
withdrawn
and
Rhett
was
watching
her
over
his
cigar
with
impersonal
amusement
.
She
started
to
cry
out
:
"
But
of
course
,
it
's
made
me
happy
!
"
But
somehow
,
she
could
not
speak
.

In
the
time
that
followed
her
illness
Scarlett
noticed
a
change
in
Rhett
and
she
was
not
altogether
certain
that
she
liked
it
.
He
was
sober
and
quiet
and
preoccupied
.
He
was
at
home
more
often
for
supper
now
and
he
was
kinder
to
the
servants
and
more
affectionate
to
Wade
and
Ella
.
He
never
referred
to
anything
in
their
past
,
pleasant
or
otherwise
,
and
silently
seemed
to
dare
her
to
bring
up
such
subjects
.
Scarlett
held
her
peace
,
for
it
was
easier
to
let
well
enough
alone
,
and
life
went
on
smoothly
enough
,
on
the
surface
.
His
impersonal
courtesy
toward
her
that
had
begun
during
her
convalescence
continued
and
he
did
not
fling
softly
drawled
barbs
at
her
or
sting
her
with
sarcasm
.
She
realized
now
that
though
he
had
infuriated
her
with
his
malicious
comments
and
roused
her
to
heated
rejoinders
,
he
had
done
it
because
he
cared
what
she
did
and
said
.
Now
she
wondered
if
he
cared
about
anything
she
did
.
He
was
polite
and
disinterested
and
she
missed
his
interest
,
perverse
though
it
had
been
,
missed
the
old
days
of
bickering
and
retort
.
He
was
pleasant
to
her
now
,
almost
as
though
she
were
a
stranger
;
but
,
as
his
eyes
had
once
followed
her
,
they
now
followed
Bonnie
.
It
was
as
though
the
swift
flood
of
his
life
had
been
diverted
into
one
narrow
channel
.
Sometimes
Scarlett
thought
that
if
Rhett
had
given
her
one-half
the
attention
and
tenderness
he
lavished
on
Bonnie
,
life
would
have
been
different
.
Sometimes
it
was
hard
to
smile
when
people
said
:
"
How
Captain
Butler
idolizes
that
child
!
"
But
,
if
she
did
not
smile
,
people
would
think
it
strange
and
Scarlett
hated
to
acknowledge
,
even
to
herself
,
that
she
was
jealous
of
a
little
girl
,
especially
when
that
little
girl
was
her
favorite
child
.
Scarlett
always
wanted
to
be
first
in
the
hearts
of
those
around
her
and
it
was
obvious
now
that
Rhett
and
Bonnie
would
always
be
first
with
each
other
.
Rhett
was
out
late
many
nights
but
he
came
home
sober
on
these
nights
.
Often
she
heard
him
whistling
softly
to
himself
as
he
went
down
the
hall
past
her
closed
door
.
Sometimes
men
came
home
with
him
in
the
late
hours
and
sat
talking
in
the
dining
room
around
the
brandy
decanter
.
They
were
not
the
same
men
with
whom
he
had
drunk
the
first
year
they
were
married
.
No
rich
Carpetbaggers
,
no
Scallawags
,
no
Republicans
came
to
the
house
now
at
his
invitation
.
Scarlett
,
creeping
on
tiptoe
to
the
banister
of
the
upstairs
hall
,
listened
and
,
to
her
amazement
,
frequently
heard
the
voices
of
Rene
Picard
,
Hugh
Elsing
,
the
Simmons
boys
and
Andy
Bonnell
.
And
always
Grandpa
Merriwether
and
Uncle
Henry
were
there
.
Once
,
to
her
astonishment
,
she
heard
the
tones
of
Dr.
Meade
.
And
these
men
had
once
thought
hanging
too
good
for
Rhett
!

This
group
was
always
linked
in
her
mind
with
Frank
's
death
,
and
the
late
hours
Rhett
kept
these
days
reminded
her
still
more
of
the
times
preceding
the
Klan
foray
when
Frank
lost
his
life
.
She
remembered
with
dread
Rhett
's
remark
that
he
would
even
join
their
damned
Klan
to
be
respectable
,
though
he
hoped
God
would
not
lay
so
heavy
a
penance
on
his
shoulders
.
Suppose
Rhett
,
like
Frank
--
One
night
when
he
was
out
later
than
usual
she
could
stand
the
strain
no
longer
.
When
she
heard
the
rasp
of
his
key
in
the
lock
,
she
threw
on
a
wrapper
and
,
going
into
the
gas
lit
upper
hall
,
met
him
at
the
top
of
the
stairs
.
His
expression
,
absent
,
thoughtful
,
changed
to
surprise
when
he
saw
her
standing
there
.
