@@@@@They were going to walk to the
Ball
She @@@@@They were going to walk to the Ball She would have ordered a hackney if she'd known that, she couldn't believe that Rhett hadn't done itIt didn't help that Pansy was supposed to carry her slippers in a Charleston contraption called a "slipper bag" because she didn't have a slipper bag, and it took Miss Eleanor's maid fifteen minutes to find a basket to use insteadWhy hadn't anyone told her she needed one of the miserable things? "We didn't think of it," Rosemary said"Everybody has slipper bags Everybody in Charleston maybe, thought Scarlett, but not in Atlanta People don't walk to balls there, they rideHer happy anticipation of her first Charleston ball began to change to uneasy apprehension What else was going to be different? Everything, she discovered Charleston had developed formalities and rituals in the long years of its history that were unknown in the vigorous semi-frontier world of North GeorgiaWhen the fall of the Confederacy cut off the lavish wealth that had allowed the formality to develop, the rituals survived, the only thing that remained of the past, cherished and unchangeable for that reasonThere was a receiving line inside the door of the ballroom at the top of the Wentworth houseEveryone had to line up on the stairs, waiting to enter the room one by one and then shake hands and murmur something to Minnie Wentworth, then to her husband, their son, their son's wife, their daughter's husband, their married daughter, their unmarried daughterWhile, all the time, the music was playing and earlier arrivals were dancing, and Scarlett's feet were itching to danceIn Georgia, she thought impatiently, the people giving the party come forward to meet their guestsThey don't keep them waiting in line like a chain gang It's a sight more welcoming than this foolishnessJust before she followed MrsButler into the room, a dignified manservant offered her a trayA pile of folded papers was on it, little booklets held together by thin blue twine with a tiny pencil hanging from it Dance cards? They must be dance cardsScarlett had heard Mammy talk about balls in Savannah when Ellen O 'Hara was a girl, but she'd never quite believed that parties were so peaceful that a girl looked in a book to see who she was supposed to dance with Why, the Tarleton twins and the Fontaine boys would have split their britches laughing if anyone told them they had to write their names on a tiny piece of paper with a little pencil so dinky that it would break in a real man's fingers! She wasn't even sure she wanted to dance with the kind of pantywaist who'd be willing to do thatYes, she was! She was sure she'd dance with the devil himself, horns and tail and all, just to be able to danceIt seemed like ten years, not one, since the Masquerade Ball in Atlan | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 6:47 pm |
