@@@@@Jagged remnants of walls
and chimneys were @@@@@Jagged remnants of walls and chimneys were all that remained of what had been a magnificent mansionTumbled mounds of smoke- and firestained bricks within the fragments of walls were heart-stopping mementos of Sherman's Army Scarlett was heartsick This had been Rhett's home, Rhett's life -lost forever before he could come back to reclaim itNothing in her troubled life had ever been as bad as thisShe'd never known the degree of pain he must have felt, must still feel a hundred times a day when he saw the ruins of hishome No wonder he was determined to rebuild, to find and regain everything he could of the old possessionsShe could help him! Hadn't she plowed and planted and harvested Tara's fields herself? Why, she'd wager Rhett didn't even know good seed corn from badShe'd be proud to help, because she knew how much it meant, what a victory it was over the despoilers when the land was reborn with tender new growthI understand, she thought triumphantlyI can feel what he's feelingWe can do this togetherI don't mind a dirt floorNot if it's with RhettWhere is he? I've got to tell him! Scarlett turned away from the shell of the house and found herself facing a vista unlike anything she'd ever seen in her lifeThe brick terrace on which she was standing led onto a grass-covered earth parterre, the highest of a series of grass terraces that unfolded in perfectly contoured sweeping movement down to a pair of sculpted lakes in the shape of gigantic butterfly wingsBetween them a wide grassy path led to the river and the boat landingThe extravagant scale was so perfectly proportioned that the great distances appeared less, and the whole was like a carpeted outdoor roomThe lush grass hid the scars of war, as though it had never beenIt was a scene of sunlit tranquillity, of nature lovingly shaped into harmony with manIn the distance a bird sang an extended melody, as if in celebration "Oh, how pretty!" she said aloudMovement to the left of the lowest terrace caught Scarlett's eye Down the terraces-the undulation increased her speed and she felt a giddy, intoxicating, joyful freedom; she laughed and threw her arms wide, a bird or a butterfly about to soar into the blue, blue skies She was breathless when she reached the place where Rhett was standing and watching | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 6:43 pm |

Who the hell do you think you are to make that judgment? God? To put it bluntly—no, not bluntly, but brutally—there are things you have trouble remembering, my darling “Not about Paris,” objected Jason“I remember everything about Paris “Your friend Bernardine didn’t think so! He told me you never would have chosen the Meurice if you did “What?” Bourne briefly, harshly glanced at his wifeWhy did you choose—and you did choose—the Meurice?” “I don’t know It’s a hotel; the name just came to meWhat happened years ago at the Meurice—right outside the Meurice?” “I—I know something happenedYou?” “Yes, my love, | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 6:08 pm |
