Both driver and porter became respectful and eager to be
of
serviceSo it's still the most fashionable address in Charleston,
Scarlett thought with reliefIt would be too awful if Rhett heard I was living in a
slumPauline and Eulalie threw open the door of their house the
moment the buggy stoppedGolden light streamed out onto the path
from
the sidewalk, and Scarlett ran through it to the sanctuary it
promised
But they looked so old! she thought when she was close to her aunts
I don't remember Aunt Pauline being skinny as a stick and all wrinkled
like thatAnd when did Aunt Eulalie get so fat?
She looks like a balloon with gray hair on top"Look at you!"
Eulalie exclaimed"You've changed so, Scarlett, why I'd hardly know
youSurely she hadn't got old, too, had she? http://www.ualuxury.com/categorys_103_Chanel-Necklaces_1.html" target="_blank She
accepted her aunts' embraces and forced a smile"Look at Scarlett,
Sister," Eulalie burbled"She's grown up to be the image of Ellen"Ellen was never this thin, Sister, you know that
She took Scarlett's arm and pulled her away from Eulalie"There is a
clear resemblance, though, I will say that
Scarlett smiled, this time happilyThere was no greater compliment in
the world that anyone could pay herThe aunts fluttered and argued
about the business of settling Pansy in the servants' quarters and
getting the trunks and valises carried upstairs to Scarlett's
bedroom
"Don't you lift a finger, honey," Eulalie said to Scarlett"You must
be worn out after that long trip Scarlett settled herself gratefully
on a settee in the drawing room, away from the fussNow that she
was
finally http://www.ualuxury.com/categorys_4_Monogram-Denim_1.html" target="_blank here, the ? feverish energy that had gotten her through the
preparations seemed ? to have evaporated, and she realized that her
aunt was rightShe all but dozed off during
supperBoth her aunts had soft voices, with the characteristic
low-country accent that elongated vowels and blurred consonants
Even
though their conversation consisted largely of politely expressed
disagreement on everything, the sound of it was lullingAlso, they
weren't saying anything that interested her at allShe'd learned what
she wanted to know almost as soon as she stepped across the
threshold
Rhett was living at his mother's house, but he was out of town"Gone
North," Pauline said, with a sour expression"But for good reason,
Sister," Eulalie reminded her"He's in Philadelphia buying back some
of http://www.ualuxury.com/category_10_Mulberry_1.html" target="_blank the family silver that the Yankees stole"It's
a joy to see how devoted he is to his mother's happiness, finding all
the things that she lost This time Eulalie was the critic"He
could have shown some of that devotion a lot sooner, if you ask me
Scarlett didn't askShe was busy with her own thoughts, which were
concentrated on wondering how soon she could go up to bedNo
sleeplessness would plague her tonight, she was sure of itNow that she'd taken her life in her own hands and was on
her way to getting what she wanted, she could sleep like a babyShe
woke in the morning with a sense of wellbeing that she hadn't felt for
yearsShe was welcome at her aunts', not shunned and lonely like in
Atlanta, and she didn't even have to think yet about what she'd say to
Rhett when she http://www.ualuxury.com/search_0_0_0_pink louis vuitton_1.html" target="_blank saw him
She could relax and be spoiled a little while she waited for him to get
back from PhiladelphiaHer aunt Eulalie punctured Scarlett's bubble
before she'd finished her first cup of breakfast coffee"I know how
anxious you must be to see Carreen, honey, but she only has visitors
on
Tuesdays and Saturdays, so we've planned something else for today
Carreen! Scarlett's lips tightenedShe didn't want to see her at
all, the traitorGiving her share of Tara away as if it meant nothing
at all But what was she going to say to the aunts? They'd never
understand that a sister wouldn't be just dying to see another
sister
Why, they even live together, they're so closeI'll have to pretend I
want to see Carreen more than anything in the world and get a
headache
