Itsa Clayton County troop and its Clayton County
horses we want forthem. A lazy somnolence descended on the crowd.
Scarlett was afraid someone might hear his words.
And their intermarryinghas made them different from other folks around here. She
wasnaturally embarrassed and shy, and in agony lest they beoverheard. Youve seen
thehotels and the museums and the balls and the gambling houses. This strategic
retreat in good order was not lost on a womanpresent or observed by a
man.
Everyone was smoldering,and it would have been a
positive triumph for Scarlett, except forAshley.
For all that she had a superfluity ofbeaux, she had
never been more miserable in her life. Why, gentlemen, if Georgia fights, Ill go

suspicions. She could have clawed him with pleasure too. Run get your grandpa,
hissed one of the old gentlemansdaughters to a young girl standing near by. They
were practically alone and hemight never get another such opportunity. She only saw

And, of course, her brother called him out,and

about her, he gets worseevery day. My children will all have spavinsand
heaves.
Certainly the Wilkes men got the family
looks.
Shewondered if India resented very much her taking
Stuart away fromher. She could see that Stuart was going to be difficult to
handletoday if she flirted with anyone else.
You know mighty well youre going to end up giving
themyour darlings anyhow. My children will all have spavinsand heaves. The laughter
and talking became less animated and groups here andthere fell silent. The laughter

thinking they were being ridden with saddle galls andnot groomed properly. Youboys
wait for me and dont run off with any other girl or Ill befurious. McRae to return
to his seat in the shade.
Butler said hed rather be shot than marry a stupid
fool.
ButAshley did not seem to notice her at all. McRae
to return to his seat in the shade.
