But she was as shocking to
Scarlett as if she had worn a mane and roaredShe looks just like
Rhett! No, it's not thatShe's got the same black eyes and hair and

like it at allHer green eyes narrowed and she studied Rosemary
She's not really as plain as people said, but she doesn't do anything
with herselfLook at how she's got her hair all skinned back in that
big knot on the napeAnd she's not even wearing earbobs, though

I guess that's what dior china Rhett's skin would be like if he wasn't always in
