Memorable Quotes from Marcella Martin
1 quoteScarlett's Inquiry About Rhett Butler
Scarlett
Cathleen, who's that?
Cathleen Calvert
Who?
Scarlett
That man looking at us and smiling. The nasty, dark one.
Cathleen Calvert
My dear, don't you know? That's Rhett Butler. He's from Charleston. He has the most terrible reputation.
Scarlett
He looks as if, as if he knows what I look like without my shimmy.
Cathleen Calvert
Scarlett! My dear, he isn't received. He's had to spend most of his time up North because his folks in Charleston won't even speak to him. He was expelled from West Point, he's so fast, and then there's that business about that girl he wouldn't marry.
Scarlett
Tell, tell!
Cathleen Calvert
Well, he took her out buggy riding in the late afternoon without a chaperone, and then ... And then he refused to marry her! No. But she was ruined just the same.
[Cathleen whispers in Scarlett's ear. Scarlett gasps, and then whispers in her ear]
