@@@@@The days of the great
plantations were over @@@@@The days of the great plantations were over and there was no bringing them back"Oh, Scarlett, you sound just like Rhett sometimesI'd like to shake both of youMiss Julia pays wages just like everybody elseBut she makes the plantation earn enough to pay themI'm going to do the same thing at the Landing if I ever get the chanceI think it's horrible that Rhett won't even try Rosemary began to clatter cups and saucers on the tea tray"I can't remember, do you take milk or lemon, Scarlett?" "What? Oh-milk, please Scarlett had no interest in teaShe was reliving the fantasy she'd had before, of Tara brought back to life, with its fields studded with white cotton for as far as the eye could see and its barns full and the house just the way it had been when her mother was aliveYes, there was some of the long-forgotten scent of lemon oil in this room and brass polish and floor waxIt was faint, but she was sure she could smell it, in spite of the sharp resinous tang of the pine logs in the fireHer hand automatically accepted the cup of tea that Rosemary offered and held it, letting it cool while she daydreamedWhy not make Tara what it had been?

I could do it, too, I'll bet! Didn't Pa say a hundred times that I was a true O'Hara? Then I can do what he did, make Tara into what he made itI know how to keep books, how to squeeze out a profit where nobody else sees the possibilitiesWhy, practically all the places around Tara have gone back to scrub pineI'll bet I could buy land for next to nothing! Her mind leapt from one picture to another-rich fields, fat cattle; her old bedroom with crisp white curtains billowing into the room on a jasmine-scented spring breeze; riding through the woods -cleared of underbrush-miles of chestnut-rail fence outlining her land, stretching farther and farther into the red-earth countryside She had to set the vision aside Reluctantly she focused her attention on Rosemary's insistent loud voiceRice, rice, rice! Can't Rosemary Butler ever talk about anything but rice? What can Rhett possibly find to talk about with that old fright Miss Ashley for so long? Scarlett shifted position again on the setteeRhett's sister had a habit of leaning toward her listener when she was excited about what she was sayi | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 6:47 pm |
