• Scarlett waltzing delicately into prison, wearing the finest dress always seen in the South, despite beingness a few years out of fashion, and despite the fact that she barely has money to buy nutrient. The textile of the apparel looks very much like the late defunction at Tara...

Melanie even effortlessly comes up with a plausible lie when Scarlett'southward begetter and sisters heard the gunshot.

• The impromptu ruse Rhett thinks up to make the Yankees think the gentlemen of Atlanta were not involved in the Shantytown raid. Specially crawly is how well Melly plays along.

• "Frankly, my dearest, I don't give a damn." At present that's a line worth waiting four hours for.
  • A bit of context: after years upon years of having her ain way and essentially stepping on people, Scarlett finally gets told off. The line is Rhett cementing that, no matter what she tries, Scarlett cannot win this ane.

If anyone but Melanie had washed so, they would take been made just as much an outcast every bit Scarlett; simply as things become, Melanie's unyielding defense of her friend sparks a miniature civil war in the boondocks.
