How It All Goes Down
- Back to Atlanta, where the women are talking about how they hate Scarlett.
- Melanie overhears India and Mrs. Merriwether and says that India is still jealous of Scarlett for stealing Stuart from her.
- Melanie gets the other women to agree to call on Scarlett.
- Rhett knows they won't really accept her in society, and he warns her she'll be in trouble when the Yankees get back in power.
- Scarlett has Bullock in her house and that makes everyone even more upset; even Melly won't meet him there.
- Then sweet Melly spews some racist swill about how horrible it is that black people have power over them because of the Yankees.
- The book spends some time on how vulgar the Yankees are.
- Rhett is still restrained and crabby and in love, but won't say anything because he's still spineless.
