@@@@@But the children were too busy talking about Tony’s
flashing six-shooters to pay any attention to herAs soon as they
reached Tara, Scarlett told Pansy to get her valise packedThat was
when Ella began to cry
“Prissy’s gone, and I don’t know anybody here to braid my hair,” she
sobbedScarlett resisted the impulse to slap her little girl
She couldn’t stay at Tara now that she’d made up her mind to leave,
she’d go crazy with nothing to do and no one to talk toBut she
couldn’t go without Pansy; it was unheard of for a lady to travel
aloneWhat was she going to do? Ella wanted Pansy to stay with
her
It might take days and days for Ella to get used to Lune, little
Susie’s mammyAnd if Ella carried on day and night, Suellen might
change her mind about keeping the children at Tara”All right, then,”
Scarlett said sharply”Stop that awful noise, Ella
I’ll leave Pansy here for the rest of the weekShe can teach Lune
about fixing your hair I’ll just have to hook up with some woman at
the Jonesboro depotThere’s bound to be somebody respectable
going to
Atlanta that I can share a seat withI’m going home on the afternoon
train, and that’s all there is to itWill can drive me over and be
back in plenty of time to milk his nasty old cows
Halfway to Jonesboro, Scarlett stopped chattering brightly about Tony
Fontaine’s returnShe was silent for a moment, then she blurted out
what was preying on her mind”Will-about Rettthe way he left so fast,
I mean-I hope Suellen’s not going to go blabbing all over the
County
Will looked at her with his pale blue eyes
“Now, Scarlett, you know better than thatFamily don’t bad mouth
familyI always figured it was a pity you couldn’t seem to see the
good in Suelle
