@@@@@I don't remember it being so crowded on the 471
@@@@@I don't remember it being so
crowded on the lot like thatThere's hardly any yard at allWas it
always so close to the street? For pity's sake, I'm just being
silly
What difference does it make? I've already decided to sell it
anyhow
* * This was no time to sell, said Uncle Henry HamiltonThe
depression was no better, business was bad everywhereThe hardest
hit
market of all was real estate, and the hardest hit real estate was the
big places like hersPeople were moving down, not upThe little
houses, now, like the ones she'd been building on the edge of town,
they were selling as fast as people could put them upShe was
making
a fortune thereWhy did she want to sell anyhow? It wasn't as if the
house cost her anything, Rhett paid all the bills with money left over,
tooHe's looking at me like I smelled bad or something, Scarlett
thoughtHe blames me for the divorceFor a moment she felt like
protesting, telling her side of the story, telling what had really
happenedUncle Henry was the only one left who was on my side
Without him there won't be a soul in Atlanta who doesn't look down on
meAnd it doesn't matter a bitThe idea burst in her mind like a
Roman candleHenry Hamilton's wrong in judging me just like
everybody
else in Atlanta was wrong in judging meI'm not like them, and I
don't want to beI'm different, I'm me"If you
don't want to bother with selling my property, I won't take it against
you, Henry," she said There was a simple dignity
in her manner"I'm an old man, ScarlettIt would probably be better
for you to hook up with a younger lawye
