1 It was time for Gerald's return and, if she expected to see him alone, there was nothing for her to do except meet him where the driveway entered the road.
2 But, when Mrs. Wilkes, "a great lady and with a rare gift for silence," as Gerald characterized her, told her husband one evening, after Gerald's horse had pounded down the driveway.
3 She rose suddenly from her chair at the sound of creaking wheels in the driveway and then sank down again as they went on around the house to the back yard.
4 Then, wheels ground sharply on the graveled driveway, and the soft murmur of Ellen's voice dismissing the coachman floated into the room.
5 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.
6 The wide curving driveway was full of saddle horses and carriages and guests alighting and calling greetings to friends.
7 As she had hoped, he was still in the front driveway bidding good-by to departing matrons and children.
8 Then she heard an ominous sound in the driveway, outside the window, a sound that brought home to her even more sharply the imminence of Ashley's departure.
9 They had evidently spent the night under the trees in someone's front yard, for a sand and gravel driveway stretched out before her, winding away under an avenue of cedars.
10 She turned the horse's head into the driveway, and the cedars, meeting over their heads cast them into midnight blackness.
11 Will, who had been enticing little Beau across the blanket with the bill during this argument, looked up and, shading his eyes, glanced down the driveway.
12 She was in the hall preparing to close the door when she heard the sound of horse's hooves and turned to look down the driveway.
13 By the light of the driveway lamps Jurgis could see that it had towers and huge gables, like a medieval castle.
