But at least hers was the bestThe bright crepe
paper flowers around the wagon's sides were soggy, but still bright
And "Kennedy's Emporium" in silver gilt tinsel shone clearly through
the rain drops caught in itThe big barrels labelled "flour," sugar,"
cornmeal,"
"molasses,"
"coffee,"
"salt" were empty, she knew, so no
damage was done there
And the tin washtubs and washboards wouldn't rustThe iron kettles
were damaged anyhow |

Suellen knew it,
too, Scarlett was sureBut it didn't matterShe needed to stay on
good terms with Suellen if she was going to carry out her planShe
smiled at her sister"What's so funny, Scarlett? Do I have a spot on
my nose or something?" Suellen's voice set Scarlett's teeth on edge,
but she held on to her smileI was just
remembering
a silly dream I had last nightI dreamt we were all children again,
and that Mammy was switching my legs with a switch from the peach
tree
Do you remember how much those switches stung?" Suellen laughedLune uses them on the girlsI can almost feel the sting on
my own legs when |

shipI've got two trunks in the hold with
frilly dresses and Colum's rifles in themWhat in the name of God am
I going to do? Her mind raced from one impossible idea to another
while she stared blindly at the group below herSlowly her brain
registered what she was seeing: Rhett was bowing, kissing one
gracefully extended hand after anotherHer ears opened to the
repeated "goodbye and thank you" of the womenBut

"As the People's Republic of China celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2009, the country's film industry continued to flourish with record-setting blockbusters. Anniversary tribute film ""The Founding of a Republic"", for example, took little effort to become the highest-grossing Chinese-language film ever.
In the meantime, top Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou was back after a three-year absence from the big screen, although his latest work was not favored by all.
Globally, the year 2009 has given us big surprises with such sensations as Susan Boyle and Lady Gaga. But there have been heart-wrenching moments as well - We lost Michael Jackson, and were shocked to learn that the previously squeaky-clean Noriko Sakai was embroiled in a drug scandal. Check out our review of the year 2009.
