Margaret Mitchell cytaty strona 3

„(…) Powtarzałam ci tysiąc razy, że prawdziwa dama je jak ptaszek. Nie pozwolę, abyś poszła na zabawę do państwa Wilkes i objadała się tam jak jaki parobek czy jak świnia.
– Mama jest prawdziwą damą, a przecież je – sprzeciwiła się Scarlett.
– Kiedy się jest zamężną, już jeść wolno – odparła Mammy. – Kiedy Miss Ellen była w twoim wieku, nigdy nic nie jadła na wizytach, tak samo jak ciocia Paulina i ciocia Eulalia. Więc wszystkie powychodziły za mąż.”
