The ladies of Atlanta knew their neighbors"business only slightly less completely than they knew their own and were far more interested in it. They all knew that for years Frank Kennedy had had an“understanding”with Suellen O"Hara.In fact, he had said, sheepishly, that he expected to get married in the spring.So the tumult of gossip, surmise and deep suspicion which followed the announcement of his quiet wedding to Scarlett was not surprising.Mrs.Merriwether, who never let her curiosity go long unsatisfied if she could help it, asked him point-blank just what he meant by marrying one sister whenhe was betrothed to the other.She reported to Mrs.Elsing that all the answer she got for her pains was a silly look.Not even Mrs.Merriwether, doughty soul that she was, dared to approach Scarlett on the subject.Scarlett seemed demure and sweet enough these days, but there was a pleased complacency in her eyes which annoyed people and she carried a chip on her shoulder which no one cared to disturb.
