Gone with the Wind Part IV

Scarlett becomes pregnant and has a daughter, Ella by Frank. Rhett Butler was imprisoned after the war but is finally released. He has made a lot of money during the war, running the blockade to bring necessities into the South for the war effort. Scarlett has not forgiven him for deserting her on the road to Tara, to join the defeated Southern army. But she can't help liking him so she sees him occasionally and shows off the baby to him. Her son Wade Hampton is a nervous shy little boy and Scarlett finds him exasperating. Ashley comes home from the war and resumes living with Melanie and their son Beau, and Scarlett asks him to run a sawmill that she is thinking of buying. She realises that Ashley is not much good at being practical and he is not one of the Confederate veterans who has managed to start to make a new life for himself by setting up a business of his own.
