Scarlett frowned at both of themWas that all? All that to-do about
changing from “Miss Ashley” and “MrButler” to “Rhett” and “Miss
Julia”? Rhett was an ass, just like the old woman saidBut “Miss
Julia” was mighty close to acting like an ass herselfWhy, she was
practically simpering at RhettIt was nothing short of disgusting the
way he could wrap women around his little finger! A maid hurried into
the room and lifted the tray of tea things from the table in front of
the setteeShe was followed by a second maid, who quietly moved
the
tea table to a place in front of Julia Ashley, and a manservant with a
larger silver tray holding a different, larger silver service and
stands of fresh sandwiches and cakesScarlett had to admit it: no
matter how disagreeable Julia Ashley might be, the old woman did
things
with style! “Rhett tells me you’re to make the Tour, Rosemary,” said
Julia”Yes, ma’am! I’m so excited I could die
“That would be inconvenient, I should imagineTell me, have you
begun
to map your itinerary?”
“Not really, Miss JuliaI’ve only known for a few days that I was
goingThe only thing I’m certain of is that I want to spend as long
as possible in Rome
“You must be sure to time it correctly
The summer heat is quite intolerable, even for a CharlestonianAnd
the Romans all abandon the city for the mountains or the seaI still
correspond with some delightful people whom you would enjoy
I’ll give you letters of introduction, of courseIf I might suggest
“Oh, please, Miss JuliaThere’s so much I want to know
Scarlett breathed a small sigh of reliefShe didn’t put it past Rhett
to tell Miss Ashley about the mistake she’d made, thinking that the
only Rome was in Georgia, but he’d let the chance go by
Now he was putting his two cents in, talking a blue streak with the old
woman about all the people with strange namesAnd Rosemary

“Good,” said rich dad”Now get back to workThis time, I will pay you nothing
