Imagine, there aren’t any balls or barbecues and the only thing people talk about is hard times！Goodness, I get sick of it！Finally last week I got too bored to stand it any longer, so Pa said I must take a trip and have a good time.So I came up here to get me some frocks made and then I’m going over to Charleston to visit my aunt.It’ll be lovely to go to balls again.”
There, she thought with pride, I delivered that with just the right airy way！Not too rich but certainly not poor.
“You look beautiful in ball dresses, my dear, and you know it too, worseluck！I suppose the real reason you are going visiting is that you have run through the County swains and are seeking fresh ones in fields afar.”
Scarlett had a thankful thought that Rhett had spent the last several months abroad and had only recently come back to Atlanta. Otherwise, he would never have made so ridiculous a statement.She thought briefly of the County swains, the ragged embittered little Fontaines, the poverty-stricken Munroe boys, the Jonesboro and Fayetteville beaux who were so busy plowing, splitting rails and nursing sick old animals that they had forgotten such things as balls and pleasant flirtations ever existed.But she put down this memory and giggled self-consciously as if admitting the truth of his assertion.
