1 The girl was more than the bright serviceable creature he had thought her.
2 Now, in the bright morning air, her face was still before him.
3 It was warm and bright in the kitchen.
4 A bright fire glowed in the stove and the cat lay stretched before it, watching the table with a drowsy eye.
5 A bright flush flew to Mattie's cheeks.
6 Under her shapeless dress her body kept its limp immobility, and her dark eyes had the bright witch-like stare that disease of the spine sometimes gives.
7 But, damn it, she was just so pallid and uninteresting and always the same, beside Scarlett's bright and changeable charm.
8 An hour later when the conversation began to lag, Gerald, with a guile that belied the wide innocence of his bright blue eyes, proposed a game.
9 The heavy mahogany table and sideboards, the massive silver, the bright rag rugs on the shining floor were all in their accustomed places, just as if nothing had happened.
10 Through the window Scarlett could see the bright riot of the twin lanes of daffodils bordering the graveled driveway and the golden masses of yellow jessamine spreading flowery sprangles modestly to the earth like crinolines.
11 Discarded garments lay about her on the floor, the bed, the chairs, in bright heaps of color and straying ribbons.
12 The prospect looked brighter to Scarlett, so bright in fact that she turned beaming eyes on Charles and smiled from pure joy.
13 At the same moment, Scarlett's eye was caught by a figure on the sidewalk in a brightly colored dress--too bright for street wear-- covered by a Paisley shawl with fringes to the heels.
14 Just a little over a year ago, she was dancing and wearing bright clothes instead of this dark mourning and was practically engaged to three boys.
15 And everywhere amid the greenery, on flags and bunting, blazed the bright stars of the Confederacy on their background of red and blue.
