Prissy felt like she was caught between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand there was Miss Scarlet with her hollow threats that sounded very real if she didn't get herself down to Belle Watlings' and find Mr. Rhett because Miss Mellie was ready to have her baby and on the other was Mammie. If that woman ever found out Prissy went within five feet of a whore house, she would cut the biggest switch she could find and beat her senseless with it. So Prissy found her sense of urgency growing less and less the closer she got to Belle's.
So she lollygagged like there was no tomorrow. Holding out the ends of her apron like it was a fine and proper dress like the rich folks wore, the young slave woman sashayed down the nearly deserted streets of Atlanta, singing softly to herself. Before she knew it, she had reached her destination. Dying a thousand deaths, Prissy looked up at the place and tried to swallow her fear.
Hoping she had picked the lesser of two evils, she yelled timidly, "Mister Rhett? You in there? Mister Rhett?"
