@jolie "thuggish" was not the right term to use there. WOW. Apologies - that had racial connotations that I didn't consider and should have considered. Oof.

@Katie Turner@twitter She was Prissy's mom. But I don't think Pork was her father, and that the subtext was that some thuggish field hand raped her and thus begat Prissy.

@Katie Turner@twitter I actually loved the movie version of Dr. Meade. He always looked to me like the tough old rooster that poor Uncle Peter (UNCLE PETER YOU GUYS) is sent out to slaughter for Christmas supper.

@Equestrienne Ha! Is okay! (Also: your username helloooooooooooo.) And I mean, (1) I brought her up and (2) just went on a whole tear about my Mrs. Tarleton theories.
God, I love all those Tarletons so freaking much.

@melis I was so excited about Mrs. Tarleton that I used the wrong form of "their" :(
BUT LITERALLY SERIOUSLY NICOLE HOW COULD YOU NOT MENTION MRS. TARLETON AND HER HORSES??? My take on her was that she was a lesbian, and that she channeled a desire/love/etc she couldn't express into her horses because even though her devotion to her horses and friendship with Gerald and etc. was outside the realm of normal it was still acceptable and that was her way of reconciling her need for fulfillment with the constraints of her station.

@01lukewarm Was it Uncle Peter? Pittypat's devoted servant? I feel like it was - and that Scarlett also comforted him when he was upset by how he'd been treated.
