From Margaret Mitchell number 893472357: Hey!! Please, please review!!!!!! I am not ashamed to say that reviews are what drive me to live.
"Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho . . ." Larissa Hilton cheerfully listed the states that were allowing ladies to vote. Larissa's mother, Cathleen Hilton, profoundly believed that women should vote; therefore, she was a suffragist. Scarlett believed in women's voting rights as well because she was as smart and clever as any male politician out there, but Scarlett wasn't in the suffragist movement because she knew the dangerous consequences. It was like being in the Ku Klux Clan: A group of honorable men (this time women, obviously) who were defending a good cause, but were to be killed for it. It was a miracle that Larissa's mother hasn't been arrested for "disrupting peace" and thrown into prison, just like a lot of her brave suffragist friends. The young men broke into a murmur of disagreement, because all men believed that it was unwomanly to be so outspoken, and well… intellectual. Clyde Fontaine spoke loudly above the rest, standing up from the wooden oak armchair and waving his hands for silence. Everyone cleared his or her throats and Ella rustled in her cushion in the very center of the conversation. "It will be high time before the ladies start to vote here in Georgia!" Clyde said urgently, his light brown eyes growing into large circles at such a ridiculous thought. He would say much more if only he wasn't in the presence of ladies, and very smart ones like Lucie Lynn, who was practically a suffragist due to all the support and money she generously gives them animals.
Michael nodded and looked around the circle, his turquoise eyes leaving Ella's for a moment. "That's right!! Who knows who they might elect, or worse, as they say the will do, elect a female president?!" Michael laughed at the thought then stopped hastily, when greeted by the blazing eyes of Larissa, Ella, Lucie Lynn, and Helena. His remark struck a cord in the ladies who were just sitting quietly while the gentlemen were openly insulting them. Ella rose to her feet, her dark brown waves jumping up with her, and her brown eyes livid at all the men, but mostly at Michael, just because of the mere fact that he was a Bullock. "And what is wrong with a female president?!" She challenged, glaring at Michael, who looked back, at her but dared not to smile mockingly. He saw ladies as mere children who just cared for the house and had no knowledge of what the outside world was like, well, he saw all ladies in this light except for Ella who was like a devil who landed here on earth. Ella wasn't really at all interested in the suffragist movement, it bored her to tears, but her mother believed in it (even if she said it bored her to tears as well) and no one was going to insult her mother's beliefs in front of her daughter!! Note while Ella has breath in her body!!
"Everything is wrong with a female president!" He said jokingly as if stating an obvious fact.
Lucie Lynn sprang up and along with her sprung all the other ladies who had brains and minds of their own. The other ladies who have no clue what suffragists were, and if they were a new kind of fruit or animal, were just trying to quiet down the screaming ladies who directed all their anger to Michael Bullock. They were not sworn enemies with the Bullocks, but it was Michael who spoke of such a rude thought, even if all the ladies knew that that was what the other men were thinking as well. "Why do you think it's so feminine to be so illogical?" Helena Fontaine said loudly, and Clyde blushed, because he was aware that his sister was much more logical than he.
Michael Bullock actually had the gall to roll his pretty round eyes, "The gentlemen think that it isn't womanly to be so outspoken,"
Michael looked like he was about to say more, but stopped when he saw Ella's lovely face red with rage. She looked ready to kill all men who agreed.
"Maybe its because you are afraid that others will find out that your sisters, your friends, or maybe your wives are smarter than you!!" Lucie Lynn said bravely, but she felt that she should apologize for such uncouth actions; even if she knew what she said was the truth. Everyone: All the young gentlemen, the pretty little ladies sat back quietly in the library, their little hands who knew enough work and hardships as their parents did, folded primly on their laps. Ella biting her lip, and Lucie Lynn on the verge of tears. All the respectable children of Atlanta society, whose families found solace in the countryside, were thinking about Lucie Lynn's statement, and the gentlemen bothered and troubled, the tension was thick enough to cut with a butter knife, and the ladies knew they were acting like white trash, all of them. For this they felt guilty and disgraced. Larissa stood up slowly, and smiled at her beau, Jim Tarleton, Jr. then at everyone else. She tucked her auburn hair behind her ears, and spoke softly, so soft and musical it sounded like she was humming, but all the fine ladies and gentlemen of South Georgia in that cozy spacious library heard her, and they heard the words that all of them needed and wanted to hear.
"We are sorry."
And with that statement everyone hugged and the ladies erupted into tears behind their linen handkerchiefs, even the ladies who didn't take part in the heated argument, and the gentlemen patted each other on the back. Everyone had made amends except two people.
Michael Bullock and Ella Butler.

From Me: You know it makes me so mad… The thought of women not voting… it insults me!! I'm sorry, the events about the suffragists happen around 1914, and this is 12 years after GWTW… very sorry I had to mix it up!! Just a filler, guys… . ; ) I hate boring little fillers, but you need them. And don't forget to review!!!!!!!! The third chapter will be up and running VERY soon if you review!!! ; )
