I can almost hear the theme music swelling up near yonder! I also have fond memories of greedy reading through the book when I was younger, somehow full of admiration for Scarlett and her tenacity for survival. Perhaps because I never really knew anyone like her in my tiny world where the women were always sacrificing themselves to the needs of weak men I found the devotion to Ashley, and Ashley himself, highly irritating. I feel so bad now . . . but I adore your camellia! :)
