@@@@@What's wrong with me? I'm brooding like an 223
@@@@@What's
wrong with me? I'm brooding like an old henI've got to do
something-go for a walk-anything-to shake off this awful feelIng
Manigo knocked gently on the door"You got a caller if you is home,
Missus Rhett Scarlett was so happy to see Sally Brewton that she
nearly kissed her"Take this chair, Sally, it's the closest to the
fireIsn't it a shock to have winter settle in at last? I told
Manigo to bring the tea trayHonestly, I think seeing Sweet Sally win
that race was about the most exciting thing I ever saw in my life
She was babbling from reliefSally amused her with a highly colored
account of Miles kissing their horse, and the jockey tooIt lasted
until Manigo had set the tea tray on the table in front of Scarlett and
left"Miss Eleanor's having a rest, or I'd let her know you were
here," said Scarlett"When she wakes up-"
"I'll be gone," Sally
interrupted
"I know Eleanor naps in the afternoon, and Rhett is out sailing, and
Rosemary is at Julia'sThat's why I picked this time to comeI want
to talk to you alone Scarlett spooned tea leaves into the potSally Brewton, of all people, sounded uneasy, and
nothing ever fazed SallyShe poured hot water onto the leaves and
put
the lid on the pot"Scarlett, I'm going to do the unforgivable," said
Sally briskly"I'm going to meddle in your lifeWhat's much worse,
I'm going to give you some unsolicited advice"Go ahead and have an
affair with Middleton Courtney if you want to, but for God's sake be
discreetWhat you're doing is in appallingly poor taste Scarlett's
eyes widened in shock
