'Don't be scared, chickens!' is so perfect. :)

That *is* a good scene. It also shows, though, how truly silly Ashly is in his continual sort of...wanting of her. He won't leave Melanie, but he keeps giving Scarlett hope. At that moment, i think, if she'd had Rhett, she might have actually started to forget about Ashley.

But instead she goes to Mr. Kennedy, and she doesn't love him (though she has some affection for him), and it just shows Ashley in that golden 'perfect' light again.

I keep forgetting to use this icon. :)

Okay, I'm going to try to remember this exchange by heart:

"If you felt like that...and you didn't...then you don't really love me."

"I can never make you understand."

They fell silent and looked at each other...

And then:

"You needn't go just because I've thrown myself at your head," she said clearly. "It won't happen again."

Yes, Ashley is a fool in a way--he tortures both himself and Scarlett by his proximity, giving her hope. And he and Rhett both know it. Rhett reduces Ashley's regard of Scarlett to mere physicality (because he's jealous) when it's more than that. But that's an important element of it, which Scarlett never really appreciates.

Aaaaugh!!! Such an amazing novel!

Yes, indeed. :)

I always loved the 'historical' bits, and wondered how well she'd written them - if she changed those a bit to reflect more kindly on the South or no. It's not my favorite period of history, so i don't know as much about it as others.
