"The mantle of spinsterhood was definitely on her shoulders now. She was twenty-five and looked it, and so there was no longer any need for her to try to be attractive."

From "Gone With The Wind" by Margaret Mitchell.

Susan and I are reading GWTW aloud, and I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy the story.....it's not your usual bodice-ripping saga. The book paints a vivid picture of the South and Southern values in the era before and after the Civil War, and I love the strong characters of Scarlett and Melanie. Delightful.
Am looking forward to seeing the movie when we're done with the book.
