CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA caught her fancy, but she could not make him propose. This naturally annoyed Scarlett, so when General Sherman approached the defences of Atlanta she seized the opportunity of returning home with Ashley's wife, Melanie, who had just given birth to a baby. She found Tara still standing but the many fields were barren and there were no inhabitants for miles around. Her Father met her at the door and told her that her mother was dead and that her two sisters had been seriously ill and were just recovering. Scarlett was badly in need of money to pay the taxes and so she made herself a new dress out of some velvet curtains and went to Atlanta. She happened to meet Frank Kennedy, an elderly man who had reached an understanding with her sister. He proposed to her and very soon Scarlett was Mrs. Kennedy. Her husband was killed at a meeting of townsmen who had been caught conspiring against Sherman. Shortly after this she met Rhett and this time he did propose. They had a rather unhappy married life and when their favourite daughter Bonny was killed when her pony threw her they parted. Scarlett was sick with disappointment so she went to her beloved Tara and devoted herself to the cultivation of the cotton as her father had died some time before.

I think I liked it because it was about ordinary people very much like ourselves and all their little ups and downs, also there was very good acting, especially by the people who took the parts of Mr. and Mrs. Gibbons. The story begins with the return of Frank Gibbons after the last war, and he and his wife Ethel move into a house, complete with their three children Redge, Vi, and Queenie, whose ages are round fourteen. They also have living with them Ethel's mother Mrs. Flint, who is rather a grumpy old woman, Aunt Syl., Frank's sister, who is always complaining of being ill and who quarrels frightfully with Mrs. Flint, Edie, the maid, and a cat. This little family get on reasonably well together, in spite of Mrs. Flint grum 71
