Hamilton?

[SoCoPony]

Kennedy

He was Scarlett’s 2nd husband
Her first husband was Charles Hamilton
Rhett was her third husband.

[MHM]

No, Hamilton was her first husband. Melanie Hamilton’s brother, which was how Scarlett ended up related to the wife of Ashley Wilkes.

But can I remember the stuff on my grocery list if I don’t check it before I leave the store? Very rarely. Lol.

[MHM]

That’s it. Thanks.

Melanie Hamilton’s brother

Melanie: Now we’re really and truly sisters

At Scarlett’s wedding to Melanie brother Charles
.

[MHM]

Yes, poor sweet Melanie. She had NO idea.

[BlueDrifter]

Yeah, no kidding… now I have to look that up…

[SoCoPony]

Scarlett: I…I never really loved Ashley.
Rhett Butler: You certainly gave a good imitation of it, up till this morning. No Scarlett, I tried everything.

[MHM]

There are so many things in both the book and the movie that are really extremely objectionable in hindsight. But as products of the times, they were both quite entertaining.

Plus Bonnie’s poor pony! It wasn’t his fault!!

Omg. And I just looked up the pony’s name, which I had forgotten was Mr. Butler. That makes the whole thing even more sick and wrong! That never dawned on me until just this moment.

Tender hooks doesn’t mean anything. So being left on tenterhooks is more like being hung out to dry than to wait with bated breath.

Also, shouldn’t it be “baited” breath, not bated. What does bated mean, if anything? I could be wrong of course.

[FitzE]

No, it’s bated, a form of abated.

Is it Bated Breath or Baited Breath? The correct form of the English expression is bated breath . The dictionary defines this idiom as a nervous or excited state anticipating what will happen.

[Ghazzu]

It’s “bated” as in a shortened form of “abated”, sort of holdng one’s breath in anticipation.

[Ambitious_Kate]

Frank Kennedy. Another Irish name.

What’s wrong with calling the pony Mr
Butler? That was their last name.

[Ambitious_Kate]

@MHM

Yes, poor sweet Melanie. She had NO ide

Yes she did. She just would never mention it, because she was too polite, and believed in kill them with kindness. She chose to see scarletts love for Ashley as devotion to her and Ashley, but she knew.

Rhett Butler (wrongly!) blamed the pony for his daughter’s death, so he went out and shot the pony. As if he was shooting himself, Mr. Butler, since his indulgence for his daughter’s whims could be considered the real cause of the accident.

Extra tragic since Scarlett’s father had also passed away as a result of a riding accident.

I don’t think she knew at the beginning, on that wedding day, when she made the remark about them being sisters.

Especially since the two weddings happened in a huge rush so the men could get married before they went off to war.

You really need to narrow it down a little.
