"No wonder they see spooks! But I'll do as you sayWhy don't you
come over?"
"And be in the house all night with a seductive lass like you? I'd
have me collar taken away Scarlett stuck out her tongue at himThe trap wobbled
alarmingly
when she crossed the ford and she decided not to stay long at
Daniel's
Her grandmother was looking drowsy, so Scarlett didn't sit down"I
just stopped in for a second, Grandmother, I won't keep you from your
nap) "Come kiss me goodbye, then, Young Katie ScarlettYou're a
lovely girl to be sure Scarlett embraced the tough tiny body gently,
kissed the old cheek firmlyAlmost at once her Grandmother's chin
dropped on her chest"Kathleen, I fake chanel bag can't stay long, the river's rising
soBy the time it's down I doubt I'll be able to get in the trap at
allHave you ever seen such a giant baby?"
"Yes, I have, but you don't want to hear it
Every baby's the only baby is my observation of mothersYou'll have
a
minute for a bite and a cup of tea?"
"I shouldn't but I willMay I take Daniel's chair? It's the
biggest
"You're welcome to itDaniel's never been so warm towards any of us
as he is to you The O'Hara, thought ScarlettIt warmed her even
more than the tea and the smoke-smelling clean fire"Have you the
time to see Grandmother, Scarlett?" Kathleen put a stool beside
Daniel's chair with tea and cake on it
"That's tiffany co bracelets grand, thenIt would be a pity if she missed telling you
goodbyeShe's taken out her shroud from the box where she keeps
her
treasuresShe'll be dead ere long Scarlett stared at Kathleen's
serene faceHow can she say things like that in the same tone of
voice as talking about the weather or something? And then drink tea
and eat cake as calm as you please? "We're all hoping for a few dry
days first," Kathleen went on"The roads are that deep in mud people
will have trouble getting to the wakeBut we'll have to take what
comes She noticed Scarlett's horror and misinterpreted it"We'll
all miss her, Scarlett, but she's ready to go, and those that live as
long as Old Katie rolex explorer Scarlett have a way of knowing when their time is on
themLet me fill your cup, what's left must be cold It clattered
in its saucer as Scarlett put it down"I really can't, Kathleen, I've
got to cross the ford, I have to go
"You'll send word when the pains start? I'll be happy to stay with
you
"I will, and thank youWill you give me a hand up in the trap?"
"Will you take a bit of cake for later? I can wrap it in no time
"No, no, thank you, truly, but I'm worried about the water * I'm
more fretful about going crazy, Scarlett thought when she drove off
Colum was right, the Irish are all spook-mindedWho'd have thought
it
of Kathleen? And my own grandmother having a shroud all 2.55 chanel ready
Heaven
only knows what they get up to on HalloweenI'm going to lock the
door and nail it shut, tooThis stuff is giving me the shiversThe
pony lost its footing for a long terrifying moment crossing the ford
Might as well face it, no more travel for me until after the babyI
wish I'd accepted the cakehe three country girls stood in the wide
doorway of the Big House bedroom Scarlett had chosen for her own
All were wearing big homespun aprons and wide-ruffled mobcaps, but
that
was the only thing about them that was the sameAnnie Doyle was as
small and round as a puppy, Mary Moran as tall and ungainly as a
scarecrow, Peggy Quinn as neat and pretty as an expensive chanel diamond watches doll
