I

'm

sorry

,

Miss

Scarlett

,

"

and

he

shuffled

his

feet

nervously

.

"

The

truth

is

I

wanted

to

take

up

something

with

your

pa

and

now

I

see

it

wo

n't

do

any

good

.

"

"

Perhaps

I

can

help

you

,

Mr.

Kennedy

.

You

see

--

I

'm

the

head

of

the

house

now

.

"

"

Well

,

I

,

"

began

Frank

and

again

clawed

nervously

at

his

beard

.

"

The

truth

is

--

Well

,

Miss

Scarlett

,

I

was

aiming

to

ask

him

for

Miss

Suellen

.

"

"

Do

you

mean

to

tell

me

,

"

cried

Scarlett

in

amused

amazement

,

"

that

you

have

n't

yet

asked

Pa

for

Suellen

?

And

you

've

been

courting

her

for

years

!

"

He

flushed

and

grinned

embarrassedly

and

in

general

looked

like

a

shy

and

sheepish

boy

.

"

Well

,

I

--

I

did

n't

know

if

she

'd

have

me

.

I

'm

so

much

older

than

she

is

and

--

there

were

so

many

good-looking

young

bucks

hanging

around

Tara

--

"

Hump

!

"

thought

Scarlett

,

"

they

were

hanging

around

me

,

not

her

!

"

"

And

I

do

n't

know

yet

if

she

'll

have

me

.

I

've

never

asked

her

but

she

must

know

how

I

feel

.

I

--

I

thought

I

'd

ask

Mr.

O'Hara

's

permission

and

tell

him

the

truth

.

Miss

Scarlett

,

I

have

n't

got

a

cent

now

.

I

used

to

have

a

lot

of

money

,

if

you

'll

forgive

me

mentioning

it

,

but

right

now

all

I

own

is

my

horse

and

the

clothes

I

've

got

on

.

You

see

,

when

I

enlisted

I

sold

most

of

my

land

and

I

put

all

my

money

in

Confederate

bonds

and

you

know

what

they

're

worth

now

.

Less

than

the

paper

they

're

printed

on

.

And

anyway

,

I

have

n't

got

them

now

,

because

they

burned

up

when

the

Yankees

burned

my

sister

's

house

.

I

know

I

've

got

gall

asking

for

Miss

Suellen

now

when

I

have

n't

a

cent

but

--

well

,

it

's

this

way

.

I

got

to

thinking

that

we

do

n't

know

how

things

are

going

to

turn

out

about

this

war

.

It

sure

looks

like

the

end

of

the

world

for

me

.

There

's

nothing

we

can

be

sure

of

and

--

and

I

thought

it

would

be

a

heap

of

comfort

to

me

and

maybe

to

her

if

we

were

engaged

.

That

would

be

something

sure

.

I

would

n't

ask

to

marry

her

till

I

could

take

care

of

her

,

Miss

Scarlett

,

and

I

do

n't

know

when

that

will

be

.

But

if

true

love

carries

any

weight

with

you

,

you

can

be

certain

Miss

Suellen

will

be

rich

in

that

if

nothing

else

.

"

He

spoke

the

last

words

with

a

simple

dignity

that

touched

Scarlett

,

even

in

her

amusement

.
