Watches

Waterbury watch: Scarlett jokes that the only affairs his captors can wind up are "the Waterbury watch inside me pocket," turning the cheap watch into a bit of gallows humor.

Source text: "Oh, as to that," he answered, "ye can wind up me affairs and welcome if ye'll take the time. They're just the Waterbury watch inside me pocket." (Project Gutenberg ebook 37949)
