As Scarlett thought of Suellen"s secure future and the precarious one of herself and Tara, anger flamed in her at the unfairness of life. Hastily she looked out of the buggy into the muddy street, lest Frank should see her expression.She was going to lose everything she had, while Sue—Suddenly adetermination was born in her.
Suellen should not have Frank and his store and his mill！
Suellen didn"t deserve them. She was going to have them herself.She thought of Tara and remembered Jonas Wilkerson, venomous as a rattler, at the foot of the front steps, and she grasped at the last straw floating above the shipwreck of her life.Rhett had failed her but the Lord had provided Frank.
But can I get him？Her fingers clenched as she looked unseeingly into the rain. Can I make him forget Sue and propose to me real quick？If I could make Rhett almost propose, I know I could get Frank！Her eyes went over him, her lids flickering.Certainly, he"s no beauty, she thought coolly, and he"s got very bad teeth and his breath smells bad and he"s old enough to be my father.Moreover, he"s nervous and timid and well meaning, and I don"t know of any more damning qualities a man can have.But at least, he’s a gentleman and I believe I could stand living with him better than with Rhett.Certainly I could manage him easier.At any rate, beggars can’t be choosers.
