Sergeant Hathaway is a complex figure. He is so intellectually astute in so many disciplines. He is sensitive and aware. But he must play second fiddle to Lewis and cotton to his needs. Here a love from the past appears and Hathaway tries to rekindle things. But she has secrets and is also engaged and Hathaway is a man of honor. But Scarlett keeps putting the moves on, pulling him back in. She is rich and her nuptials are based on marrying a guy who fits her socioeconomic situation. He can't understand this and Scarlett can't see anything else. But there is blackness below the surface and it will be revealed. So many players carry secrets and the "mere" policeman that Hathaway is could only ever be a plaything.
