It's been a long bull run with yields lower, and we're just seeing a few chinks taken out of the bond market's armor.

He's really taken the bull by the horns.

He hasn't taken the bull by the horns and gone after it,

The long-term bull trend remains unchanged. It's just consolidating at the lower end.

Lately he's taken the bull by the horns and done it himself when things aren't going well. That's exactly what we needed, and one of the things he adds to our team.

Melanie is the gentlest of dreams and a part of my dreaming. And if the war had not come I would have lived out my life, happily buried at Twelve Oaks, contentedly watching life go by and never being a part of it. But when the war came, life as it really is thrust itself against me. The first time I went into action—it was at Bull Run, you remember—I saw my boyhood friends blown to bits and heard dying horses scream and learned the sickeningly horrible feeling of seeing men crumple up and spit blood when I shot them. But those weren't the worst things about the war, Scarlett. The worst thing about the war was the people I had to live with.

I had sheltered myself from people all my life, I had carefully selected my few friends. But the war taught me I had created a world of my own with dream people in it. It taught me what people really are, but it didn't teach me how to live with them. And I'm afraid I'll never learn. Now, I know that in order to support my wife and child, I will have to make my way among a world of people with whom I have nothing in common.
