Scarlett smiled and
ladled more gravy onto the potatoes left on her plate
What geese her aunts wereDidn't they know that you had to stand
up
to bullies like their father or else they'd trample right over you? It
never occurred to Scarlett that she was able to resist being bullied
because she was a bully herself, or that her grandfather's laughter was
caused by his recognition of her resemblance to himWhen dessert
was
served, the bowls of tapioca had somehow become largerEulalie
smiled
gratefully at her niece
"Sister and I were just saying how much we enjoyed having you with
us
in our old home, ScarlettDon't you find Savannah a lovely little
city? Did you see the fountain in Chippewa Square? And the theater?
It's nearly as old as Charleston'sI remember how Sister and I used
to look out of the windows of our schoolroom at the thespians chanel quilted handbag coming
and goingDon't you remember, Sister?" Pauline rememberedShe
also
remembered that Scarlett had not told them she was going out that
morning, nor where she had beenWhen Scarlett reported that she'd
been to the Cathedral, Pauline put her finger to her lipsPere, she
said, was unfortunately extremely opposed to Roman CatholicismIt
had
something to do with French history, she wasn't sure what, but he got
very angry about the ChurchThat was the reason she and Eulalie
always left Charleston after Mass to come to Savannah and left
Savannah
on Saturday to return to CharlestonThis year there was a particular
difficulty; because Easter was so early, they would be in Savannah for
Ash Wednesday
Naturally they had to attend Mass, and they could leave the house
early
and unobservedBut how could they keep their father from seeing the
smudges cartier ballon blue of ash on their foreheads when they returned to the house?
"Wash your face," said Scarlett impatiently, thereby revealing her
ignorance and the recent date of her return to religionShe dropped
her napkin on the table"I've got to be off," she said brisklyI'm going to visit my O'Hara uncles and aunts She didn't want
anyone to know that she was trying to buy the convent's share of
Tara
Especially not her aunts, they gossiped too muchWhy, they might
even
write to Suellen"What time do we leave in the
morning for Mass?"
She'd be sure to mention it to the Mother SuperiorNo need to let on
that she'd forgotten all about Ash WednesdayWhat a bother it was
that she'd left her rosary in CharlestonOh, well, she could buy a
new one at her O'Hara uncles' storeIf she remembered correctly,
they
had everything in there from bonnets to plows
"Miss Scarlett, omega de ville watch ladies when are we going home to Atlanta? I don't feel
comfortable with the folks in your Grandpa's kitchenAnd my shoes is just about wore out from all this walking
When are we going home where you got all the fine carriages?"
"Stop that everlasting complaining, PansyWe'll go when I say go and
where I say go Scarlett's response had no real heat in it; she was
trying to remember where her uncles' store was, and having no luckI
must be catching old folks' forgetfulnessPansy's right about that
partEverybody I know in Savannah is oldGrandfather, Aunt Eulalie,
Aunt Pauline, all their friendsAnd Pa's brothers are the oldest of
allI'll just say hello and let them give me a nasty dry old man's
kiss on the cheek and buy my rosary and leave
There's no real call to see their wivesIf they cared about seeing
me, they would have done something about keeping up balenciaga bag made with goat leather all these
years
Why, for all they know I could be dead and buried and not so much as
a
condolence note to my husband and childrenA mighty tacky way to
treat a blood relative, I call itMaybe I'll just forget about going
to see any of them at allThey don't deserve any visits from me after
the way they neglected me, she thought, ignoring the letters from
Savannah that she'd never answered, until finally they stopped
coming
She was ready to consign her father's brothers and their wives
permanently to oblivion in the recesses of her mind nowShe was
fixed
on two things, getting control of Tara and getting the upper hand with
RhettNever mind that the two were contradictory goals, she'd find a
way to have bothAnd they demanded all the thinking she had time
for
I'm not going to go trailing around looking for that musty old store,
