Texts from Scarlett O'Hara
Melanie: Darling, I was going through some old things this morning
and found Charles’ ornamental officer’s sash
I thought you’d like to have it
So I gave it to Mammy for cleaning and she’ll give it to you later
Scarlett: who is charles
Melanie: Scarlett, how you joke!
Scarlett: was he that guy
Melanie: I know it pains you to speak of him — that’s why you act so high-spirited about it, and I think it’s simply marvelous of you. But you don’t have to be brave with me, Scarlett dear.
Scarlett: that guy with like the chin thing
Melanie: I miss him too.
Scarlett: guess what i turned my mourning gown into
Melanie: But I know he’s looking after us — always.
Scarlett: i made four backless shimmies out of it
