Chapter 53 Her Return

• It was a bustling day that brought Scarlett together with her mother, her brother, and her beloved. The Governor of the capital had announced that she was alive, and the Mansion warmly received those who came to celebrate her safety.
• Scarlett couldn't help but recall that these were the same people who had called her derogatory terms on the day they came to pay condolences to her family. People, she mused, were so fickle. Yesterday she was labeled a prostitute, dating the minister's son. Today, she was the doctor and the governor's daughter, spoken about warmly in her absence.
• Lincoln, adorned in a coat that shimmered with enchanted threads, accompanied her inside her opulent suite at ten o'clock in the evening as he was determined on remaining by her side.
