So much turns on the little word, "but," as Paul used it in verse 4.
Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind almost didn't get published. She had written stacks of pages spinning her story of the Civil War. A publisher came to Atlanta to talk with her about the book. She consented for him to take it to New York. But he had no sooner left Atlanta before she changed her mind. She didn't want it published. She didn't want him to read it or have anyone else read it.
She sent a telegram, but it was too late. He had already started reading it on the train, and he was entranced. He refused to return the manuscript. She had released it to him, and he was not going to cancel her contract. Gone with the Wind almost stayed with the author and it would never have been the bestseller and the great movie, but the publisher saw its worth and proceeded.
