Nor was she very interestedFor most of her life the house she lived in had simply been there, already as it was, and she'd never thought about itTara was Tara, Aunt Pittypat's was Aunt Pitty's, even though half of it belonged to herScarlett had involved herself only with the house Rhett built for herShe'd bought the newest and most expensive furnishings and decorations, and she'd been pleased with them because they proved how rich she wasThe house itself never gave her pleasure; she hardly saw it Just as she didn't really see the Big House at Ballyhara Eighteenth-century Palladian, Charlotte said, and what, pray tell, was so important about that? What mattered to Scarlett was the land, for its richness and its crops, and the town, for its rents and services and because no one, not even Rhett, owned his own prada fairy townHowever, she understood perfectly well that accepting invitations placed an obligation on her to return them, and she couldn't invite people to a place that had furniture in only two roomsShe was lucky, she upposed, that Charlotte Montague wanted to transform the Big House for herShe had more interesting things to do with her timeScarlett was firm about the points that mattered to her: Cat must have a room next to her own, not in some nursery wing with a and Scarlett would do her own accounts, not turn all her usiness over to a bailiffOther than that, Charlotte and MrsFitz could do whatever they likedThe costs made her wince, but she ad agreed to give Charlotte a free hand and it was too late to back out once she'd shaken hands on it Besides, money just didn't matter o her now the way it used toSo Scarlett took refuge in the Estate office and cartier pasha watch Cat made the itchen her own while workmen did unknown, expensive, noisy, smelly things to her house for months on endAt least she had the farm to run, and her duties as The O'HaraAlso she was buying horses"I know little or nothing about horses," said Charlotte MontagueIt was a statement that made Scarlett's eyebrows skid upwardsShe'd come to believe that there was nothing on earth Charlotte didn't claim to be an expert on "You'll need at least four saddle horses and six hunters, eight would be better, and you must ask Sir olin Morland to assist you in selecting them "Six hunters! God's nightgown, Charlotte, you're talking abou,:, more than five hundred pounds!" Scarlett shoutedShe brought her voice down to normal sound, she'd learned that shouting at MrsMontague was a waste of energy; nothing bothered the woman"I'll educate buy chanel bags you a little about horses," she said with venomous sweetness"You can only ride one Teams are for carriages and plows She lost the argument That was why she didn't bother to argue about John Morland's help, she told herselfBut Scarlett knew that really she had been hoping to have a reason to see BartHe might have some news of RhettShe rode over to Dunsany the next day Morland was delighted by her requestOf course he'd help her find the best hunters in all Ireland"Do you ever hear from your American friend, Bart?" She hoped the question sounded casual, she'd waited long enough to get it inJohn Morland could talk about horses even longer than Pa and Beatrice Tarleton"Rhett, do you mean?" Scarlett's heart turned over at the sound of his name "Yes, he's much more responsible about his correspondence than I am John gestured towards knock off chanel earrings the untidy pile of letters and bills on his desk Would the man just get on with it? What about Rhett? Bart shrugged, turned his back to the desk"He's determined to enter the filly he bought from me in the Charleston racesI told him she was bred for hurdles and not for the flat, but he's sure her speed will compensate I'm afraid he's going to be disappointedIn another three or four years, perhaps he might prove right, but when you remember that her dam was out of Scarlett stopped listeningJohn Morland would talk bloodlines all the way back to the Flood! Why couldn't he tell her what she wanted to know? Was Rhett happy? Had he mentioned her? She looked at the young Baronet's animated, intense face and forgave him In his own eccentric way, he was one of the most charming men in the world John Morland's life was built around omega watch replica horses

How alive it all was, and vital, and always changingThere were buildings she'd never seen before, new names above old storefronts, noise and hurry and pushShe looked eagerly out the window of her carriage at the houses on Peachtree Street, identifying the owners to herself, noting the signs of better times for themThe Merriwethers had a new roof, the Meades a new color paintThings weren't nearly as shabby as they'd been when she left a year and a half backAnd there was her house! OhI 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 new cartier watches 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 chanel earrings 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 louis cartier 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 lawyer Scarlett rose from her chair, held out her hand, smiled with real fondness for himIt was only after she was gone that he could put words to the difference in her"Scarlett's grown upShe didn't call me 'llncle HenryButler at home?"
