Melly

"I'll be along in just a minute, Melly, " Nora said as she went to the front door. " I dropped one of my gloves. "

"What shall I do? " she asked Melly. "I cannot stay and I do not wish to leave! "

He held out his hand to Melly, smiling at her so charmingly that she didn't even think of Nora as she let him lead her onto the dance floor.

It was at all for revenge, Melly, all the sweet things he said to me.

Melly knew how it would be-Melly knew him far better than I do. That's why she said look after him and Beau, in the same breath.

But you know that I could not become serious about such a man, Melly.

Melly had implied that this man Summerville had been intimate with Nora.

He waylaid Melly at the back porch a few days later and asked pointedly if she'd heard from Nora.

Melly wrapped her arms around the older woman. "The snake, " she muttered. "How could he be so cruel! "

While he was absorbing that unpleasant blow, she climbed out of the buggy and ran to Melly and climbed swiftly into the other buggy.

Melly wasn't fooled. She called back a reply and went to her room with a smothered grin.

Nora's own hands were none too steady, but she had poise and composure that young Melly lacked.

Generally, Scarlett would not have cared whether she received at Melly's piddling parties or not.

Everybody knew he'd probably marry her some day, just like Honey Wilkes is going to marry Miss Melly's brother, Charles.

Don't try to tell him anything, Melly. He knows everything about babies.

I loved something I made up, something that's just as dead as Melly is.

I pray God things go well with you, Miss Melly.

Before such an exhibition of grief, Pittypat's easy tears ceased and Melly flew to the bedside to comfort her sister-in-law.

Melly burst out laughing. "Well, almost anything, " she amended. "Shall we think optimistically? "

PRISSY : Only Miss Melly, she feeling kinda poorly now it's all over!

Melly was also subdued, after her unsatisfying confrontation with the abominable Mr. Langhorn.

Melly looked at her, startled, and the Captain made a gesture of self-reproach.

Scarlett could hardly take any joy from the kiss, so sullen was her heart at Melly's prompting it.

"You look very nice, Mr. Barton, " Melly said with a grin.

We wouldn't have known it if Miss Melly's aunt hadn't let it out.

Melly looked around quickly, but no one had noticed his possessive hold.

That was what Mrs. Bonnell was to do. And Melly, you must take the McLure girls' booth .

She didn't know how she was going to explain her long absence to poor Melly, much less her appearance.

Mr. Langhorn was standing with two other men, and the look he was giving Melly, unseen by her, would have scalded milk.

Scarlett, change your dress and go over to Miss Melly's for the evening.

Melly danced only once with Cal, enjoying his easy company and ready smile.

Prissy : Miss Melly done fainted way back, Captain Butler.

Oh, it was terrible, Melly, the lightning and thunder and the rain as we ran. . . Cal threw his coat over me, and I am all but disarranged!

"Surely out here we are more democratic, " Melly began.

"Now, how can I leave here, Melly? " Scarlett asked crossly.

Melly will get wet waiting for us at the crossroads with the buggy.

It's the only way, Melly.

Miss Melly done fainted way back, Captain Butler.

Melly! Dear, please hurry, the food is getting cold!

Melly's hand shook, almost upsetting her cup of coffee.

With Melly's help, he and Nora managed long walks together and even a buggy ride.

Melly frowned at her.

Scallete: Don't talk to her, Melly.

Miss Melly done fainted way back, Cap'n Butler.

"He upset you, didn't he? " Melly asked gently.

I love you Melly. I always have
