@@@@@Eleanor Butler gladly accepted Scarlett's 213

@@@@@Eleanor Butler gladly accepted Scarlett's judgments on the potatoes and carrots she needed to buyThen she made her purchases of cornmeal, hominy, flour, and riceFinally, she bought butter, buttermilk, cream, milk, and eggsCelie's basket was overflowing "We'll have to take everything out and repack it," Mrs"I'll carry something," Scarlett offeredShe was impatient to be gone before she had to meet any more of Mrs They had stopped so often, the walk through the vegetable and dairy sections had taken them more than an hourShe didn't mind meeting the women who were selling the produce-she wanted to mark them down in her mind very clearly, because she was sure she'd be dealing with them in the futureMiss Eleanor was too softShe was sure she could do better on the pricesAs soon as she got the hang of things she'd offer to take over some of the shoppingNot the fishy things, thoughNot, she discovered, when she ate themDinner was a revelationThe she-crab soup was a velvety blend of tastes that made her open her eyes wideShe'd never tasted anything so subtly delicious, except in New Orleans Of course!
