held out his handA stout lady took it and stepped from the

The young man helped her down from the carriage block, then handed
down
a younger woman with a broad smile on her face"Come inside,
dear,"
MrsButler said, "and help me with the tea things
Scarlett followed her eagerly, seething with curiosityWhat a
peculiar turnout of peopleMiss Eleanor's committee sure is different
from the bunches of old cats who run everything in AtlantaWhere did
