Now Scarlett squirmed with guilt because she had neglected all religious observance for so many years. Her mother must be weeping in heaven...Mrs Butler wouldnt have fussed at her, or....might have expected her to go to the Episcopal church with her. That wouldnt be so bad. Scarlett had some vague notion that God didnt pay attention to anything that happened in a Protestant church. But He would know the minute she stepped over the threshold of St Marys that she was a fearful sinner who hadnt been to Confession since...since - she couldnt even remember the last time. She wouldnt be able to take Communion, and everyone would know why. She imagined the invisible guardian angels Ellen had told her about as a child. All of them were frowning...She didnt know her concept of religion was as superstitious and ill-formed as any Stone Age mans. - From Scarlett, by Alexandra Ripley
