Frank wouldbuy the mill himself if he had the
money.
And a way of swaying your hips, thats anallurement
to any man under ninety?
There wasbarely suppressed savagery in his voice.
In fact, Frank hadnever heard of a woman in business anywhere. But only the
trulyrich and the truly secure could afford this luxury. Then she hearda sudden
splashing of hooves and Tony was gone. Why, it was over before I knew it,said Tony
reflecting.
Oh, Ive never denied coveting you, if thats what
you mean. Ill wager you didnt know thenhow many pennies were in a
dollar.
He would have givenmost women their own way. Frank
was no teetotaler but he feverishly protestedagainst the idea. Those men had not
cared about anythingexcept getting home.
Women were such funny little creaturesand it never
hurt to humor their small whims.
So, he said and there was a vibrant note almost
like anger in hisvoice. Ill bet your pa never hit a darky a lick in his life,
saidFrank.
Of course, Ashley loved her forjust these
things.
She can get mad quicker andstay mad longer than any
woman I ever saw! Of course, Ashley loved her forjust these things.
I dont know any better place for
starving.
I dont want to get you folks in trouble if I
canhelp it. She would certainly swoon if she saw thisapparition.
These ladies made money but they kept themselves at
homewhile they did it, as a woman should. Why, it was over before I knew it,said
Tony reflecting.
Scarlett had given no thought to this, so intent
was she upon themoney the mill would bring in.
Well always fall out about him, because youcant
understand him.
If he loved you, then why inhell did he permit you
to come to Atlanta to get the tax money? Just why it was bad, he could not explain
to herand to his lame arguments she said Fiddle-dee-dee! Ashley was too fine to have
such thoughts.
Really, Scarlett, you should not give yourself away
soeasily.
Frank wont mind andI may never see you again. He
was hatlessand his black hair was plastered to his little skull.
They invaded thehouse at all hours and without
warning.
Go into the lumber business myself,was the way she
put it. These ladies made money but they kept themselves at homewhile they did it,
as a woman should.
Got tohave another horse, Frank, and some
money.
What I want Itake if I can get it, and so I wrestle
neither with angels nordevils. There was a low note in hisvoice which Scarlett did
not understand but did not like to hear. And the things he nagged her about were
sosilly!
