She'd be disappointed in me, and I
couldn't bear thatI won't think about it, I
mustn'tI'll think about something else-I wonder if Delilah had sense
enough to fix something to feed people after the burial
Suellen wouldn't think of it, and she's too mean to spend money on a
collation anyhowNot that it would set her back all that much-there's
hardly anybody hereThat black preacher looks like he could eat
enough for twenty, thoughIf he doesn't stop going on about resting
in Abraham's bosom and crossing the River Jordan, I'm going to
scream
Those three scrawny women he calls a choir are the only people here
who
don't look twitchy from embarrassmentSome choir! Tambourines
and
spirituals! Mammy should have something
solemn in Latin, not "Climbing Jacob's Ladder Oh, it's all so
tacky
A good thing chanel handbags on sale there's almost nobody here, just Suellen and Will and me
and the children and the servantsAt least we all really loved Mammy
and care that she's goneBig Sam's eyes are red from cryingLook
at
poor old Pork, crying his eyes out, tooWhy, his share's almost white;
I
never think of him as oldDilcey sure doesn't look her age, whatever
that might be, she hasn't changed a bit since she first came to
Scarlett's exhausted, rambling mind suddenly sharpened
What were Pork and Dilcey doing here at all? They hadn't worked at
TarNot since Pork became Rhett's valet and Dilcey, Pork's
wife, went to Melanie's house, as Beau's mammyHow did they come
to
be here, at Tara? There was no way they could have learned about
Mammy's deathUnless Rhett told themScarlett looked over her
shoulderHad Rhett come back? pink gucci bag There was no sign of himAs soon
as
the service was over, she made a beeline for PorkLet Will and
Suellen deal with the long-winded preacher"It's a sad day, Miss
Scarlett," Pork's eyes were still welling with tears"Yes, it is,
Pork," she saidMustn't rush him, she knew, or she'd never find out
what she wanted to knowScarlett walked slowly beside the old black
servant, listening to his reminiscences of "Mist' Gerald" and Mammy
and
the early days at TarShe'd forgotten Pork had been with her father
come to Tara with Gerald when there was nothing
there except a burned-out old building and fields gone to brushWhy,
Pork must be seventy or moreLittle by little, she extracted the
information she wantedRhett had gone back to Charleston, to stay
Pork had packed all of Rhett's clothes and sent them to the chanel diamond watches depot for
shippingIt was his final duty as Rhett's valet, he was retired now,
with a parting bonus that was big enough for him to have a place of
his own anywhere he liked"I can do for my family, too," Pork said
proudlyDilcey would never need to work again, and Prissy would
have
something to offer any man who wanted to marry her"Prissy ain't no
beauty, Miss Scarlett, and she's going on twenty-five years old, but
with a 'heritance behind her, she can catch herself a husband easy as
a
young pretty girl what got no money Scarlett smiled and smiled and
agreed with Pork that "Mist' Rhett" was a fine gentlemanInside she
was ragingThat fine gentle- man's generosity was making a real
hash
of things for her
Who was going to take care of Wade and Ella, with Prissy gone? And
how
the devil was she buy chanel purse going to manage to find a good nursemaid for Beau?
He'd just lost his mother, and his father was half crazy with grief, and
now the only one in that house with any sense was leaving, tooShe
wished she could pick up and leave, too, just leave everything and
everybody behindMother of God! I came to Tara to get some rest,
to
straighten out my life, and all I found was more problems to take care
ofCan't I ever get any peace? Will quietly and firmly provided
Scarlett with that respiteHe sent her to bed and gave orders that
she wasn't to be disturbedShe slept for almost eighteen hours, and
she woke with a clear plan of where to begin"I hope you slept well,"
