until nearly one o'clockShe wished with all her heart that she had
stayed in the cityTomorrow she'd be cooped up all day while the
blacks celebrated, and by the time they got back to town on Saturday

Rhett had never kissed herDuring the days that followed, Scarlett
recaptured all the giddy excitement of what she remembered as the

receptions, with her dance card filled as soon as she entered the
ballroom, with all her old games of flirtation producing the same
admiration that they had beforeIt was like being sixteen again, with
nothing to think about other than the last party and the compliments
she'd been paid, and the next party and how she would wear her |
