The very last thing Pauline should have mentioned was respect due to
her familyThe aunts cowered before Scarlett's outburst, and their
frightened faces gave her an intoxicating joyful feeling of power
She'd always been contemptuous of weakness, and in the months
she'd
spent in Charleston she had had no power, she'd been the weak one,
and
she'd begun to feel contempt for herselfNow she unleashed on her
aunts all the disgust she had felt at her own craven desire to
please
"There's no need to sit there staring at me as if I had horns on my
head and a pitchfork in my hand, either!
You know I'm right, but you're just too lily-livered to say it for
yourselfGrandfather treats everybody like dirtI'll bet you |
