The
Tarletons
insisted
that
the
girls
stay
for
dinner
,
saying
they
had
so
few
guests
these
days
and
wanted
to
hear
all
the
news
.
Scarlett
did
not
want
to
linger
,
for
the
atmosphere
oppressed
her
,
but
Melanie
and
her
two
sisters
were
anxious
for
a
longer
visit
,
so
the
four
stayed
for
dinner
and
ate
sparingly
of
the
side
meat
and
dried
peas
which
were
served
them
.
There
was
laughter
about
the
skimpy
fare
and
the
Tarleton
girls
giggled
as
they
told
of
makeshifts
for
clothes
,
as
if
they
were
telling
the
most
amusing
of
jokes
.
Melanie
met
them
halfway
,
surprising
Scarlett
with
her
unexpected
vivacity
as
she
told
of
trials
at
Tara
,
making
light
of
hardships
.
Scarlett
could
hardly
speak
at
all
.
The
room
seemed
so
empty
without
the
four
great
Tarleton
boys
,
lounging
and
smoking
and
teasing
.
And
if
it
seemed
empty
to
her
,
what
must
it
seem
to
the
Tarletons
who
were
offering
a
smiling
front
to
their
neighbors
?

Carreen
had
said
little
during
the
meal
but
when
it
was
over
she
slipped
over
to
Mrs.
Tarleton
's
side
and
whispered
something
.
Mrs.
Tarleton
's
face
changed
and
the
brittle
smile
left
her
lips
as
she
put
her
arm
around
Carreen
's
slender
waist
.
They
left
the
room
,
and
Scarlett
,
who
felt
she
could
not
endure
the
house
another
minute
,
followed
them
.
They
went
down
the
path
through
the
garden
and
Scarlett
saw
they
were
going
toward
the
burying
ground
.
Well
,
she
could
n't
go
back
to
the
house
now
.
It
would
seem
too
rude
.
But
what
on
earth
did
Carreen
mean
dragging
Mrs.
Tarleton
out
to
the
boys
'
graves
when
Beatrice
was
trying
so
hard
to
be
brave
?
There
were
two
new
marble
markers
in
the
brick-inclosed
lot
under
the
funereal
cedars
--
so
new
that
no
rain
had
splashed
them
with
red
dust
.
"
We
got
them
last
week
,
"
said
Mrs.
Tarleton
proudly
.
"
Mr.
Tarleton
went
to
Macon
and
brought
them
home
in
the
wagon
.
"
Tombstones
!
And
what
they
must
have
cost
!
Suddenly
Scarlett
did
not
feel
as
sorry
for
the
Tarletons
as
she
had
at
first
.
Anybody
who
would
waste
precious
money
on
tombstones
when
food
was
so
dear
,
so
almost
unattainable
,
did
n't
deserve
sympathy
.

And
there
were
several
lines
carved
on
each
of
the
stones
.
The
more
carving
,
the
more
money
.
The
whole
family
must
be
crazy
!
And
it
had
cost
money
,
too
,
to
bring
the
three
boys
'
bodies
home
.
They
had
never
found
Boyd
or
any
trace
of
him
.
Between
the
graves
of
Brent
and
Stuart
was
a
stone
which
read
:
"
They
were
lovely
and
pleasant
in
their
lives
,
and
in
their
death
they
were
not
divided
.
"
On
the
other
stone
were
the
names
of
Boyd
and
Tom
with
something
in
Latin
which
began
"
Dulce
et
--
"
but
it
meant
nothing
to
Scarlett
who
had
managed
to
evade
Latin
at
the
Fayetteville
Academy
.
