1. Scarlett O'Hara was very beautiful and all men realized it. 2. The Tarleton twins were not caught by her charm. 3. In Scarlett’s face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her grandmother and grandfather. 4. Her father was a Coast aristocrat of French descent. 5. Her mother had heavy florid features. 6. Scarlett’s face wasn’t arresting, it was very unpleasant. 7. Scarlett’s mother had a pointed chin and a square jaw. 8. Scarlett’s eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel. 9. Scarlett’s eyes were starred with bristly black lashes which were slightly tilted at the ends. 10. Her black brows were bushy and straight. 11. Scarlett’s skin was not magnolia-white. It was swarthy. 12. Magnolia-white skin was prized by Southern women and carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns. 13. Twins and Scarlett made a pretty picture in the cool shade of the porch of Tara. 14. Scarlett’s dress was made of red checked-muslin. 15. Scarlett’s dress exactly matched the high-heeled green morocco slippers her father had recently brought her from Atlanta. 16. The dress was loosely-fitting the seventeen-inch waist. 17. Scarlett’s waist was the smallest in three counties. 18. Scarlett was well matured for her sixteen years. 19. But for all the demureness of hairnetted smoothly into a chignon, her true self was poorly concealed. 20. Scarlett sat on the porch and her hands hung negligently. 21. Her green eyes in the carefully sweet face were quiet and modest. 22. Her eyes were distinctly at variance with her decorous demeanor. 23. Her manners had been imposed upon her by her father’s gentle admonitions. 24. The twins sat straight in their chairs on either side of her. 25. The twins were squinting at the sunlight. 26. The twins were twenty years old, six feet two inches tall. 27. Their faces were pale and their hair was jet-black. 28. Their eyes were merry and arrogant. 29. They were as much alike as two bolls of cotton. 30. According to the standards of her day, Helen O’Hara was an old woman. 31. She was a diminutive woman. 32. She moved with such quiet grace that the height attracted no attention to itself. 33. Her neck was olive-skinned, rounded and slender. 34. Her neck was tilted slightly backward by the weight of her luxuriant hair. 35. From her father, a soldier of Napoleon, she had her slanting dark eyes, shadowed by inky lashes. 36. From life could Ellen's face have acquired its haughtiness. 36. She would have been a strikingly beautiful woman but for utter lack of humor. 37. Spontaneity in her voice fell with horrible melody on the ears of her family and her servants. 38. Helen’s husband’s voice was liquid of vowels, kind to consonants as he was of French descent. 39. Her voice never raised in command to a servant or reproof to a child. But it was quietly disregarded at Tara. 40. Ashley had made several attempts to join the circle about Scarlett since their first greeting. 41. Melanie hardly came up to Ashley’s shoulder. 42. She was a solidly built girl. 43. She had a cloud of curly dark hair which was so sternly repressed beneath its net that no vagrant tendrils escaped. 44. Melanie’s face was really beautiful. 45. Melanie looked as simple as earth, as good as bread, as transparent as spring water. 46. There was a sedate dignity about Scarlett’s movements. 47. Melanie’s eyes were turbulent and willful. 48. Melanie looked across the floor and tapped her foot to the music. 49. The man was tall, towering over the officers who stood near him, bulky in the shoulders but tapering to a small waist. 50. His white suit was oddly at variance with his physique and face. 51. His hair was fair, and his black moustache was drooping. 52. He had an air of utter assurance, of displeasing insolence about him, and there was a twinkle of malice in his bold eyes. 53. Scarlett recognized this man at once. 54. Scarlett was very pleased to meet him. 55. For all her obvious happiness, Melanie was not well. Little Beau had cost her health. 56. Melanie was well-made. 57. Seen from a distance, romping about the back yard with her child, she looked like a little girl, for her waist was unbelievably tiny and she had practically no figure. 58.Her face was ivory and her silky brows, arched and delicate as a butterfly's feelers, stood out too blackly against her creamy skin. 59. Her eyes were too large for beauty, the dark smudges under them making them appear enormous. 60. Melanie’s eyes were like candles, candles shielded from every wind, two soft lights glowing with happiness at being home again among her friends.
