enough At that moment the carriage turned beneath an arch, and
they
plunged, skidding and jolting, down a dark, slippery, cobblestoned
ramp
Scarlett was breathless from the thrill of itThen they were at the
riverThe tumult and color and chaos were even more exciting than
the
precipitous ride down to itShips of every size and kind were tied up
to jutting wooden piers, more ships than she'd ever seen in
Charleston
Loaded wagons pulled by heavy dray horses rattled wooden or iron
wheels
over the wide cobbled street in a constant din
Barrels rolled down wooden chutes onto wooden decks with a

squawked
Their driver stood up and cracked hiswhipThe buggy jerked forward,
scattering a crowd of gaping pedestriansScarlett laughed into the

a frame of gilt arrowsThe Union Jack flew from her flagstaff, but a
green silk banner decorated with a golden harp waved boldly from her
forward mast
She was a luxury passenger ship, catering to the expensive tastes of
rich Americans who travelled to Ireland for sentiment-to see the
villages where emigrant grandfathers were born-or for gucci purses show-to visit, in
all their finery, the villages where they had been born
The public rooms and staterooms were oversized and overdecorated
The crew was trained to satisfy every whimThere was a
disproportionately large hold, compared to the usual passenger ship,
because Irish-Americans carried with them gifts for all their relatives
and returned with multiple souvenirs of their visitsThe baggage
handlers treated every trunk and every crate as if it were full of
