She
thanked
God
tiredly
that
she
had
cried
all
her
tears
the
night
before
,
so
now
she
could
stand
erect
and
dry
eyed
.
The
sound
of
Suellen
's
tears
,
just
back
of
her
shoulder
,
irritated
her
unbearably
and
she
had
to
clench
her
fists
to
keep
from
turning
and
slapping
the
swollen
face
.
Sue
had
been
the
cause
of
her
father
's
death
,
whether
she
intended
it
or
not
,
and
she
should
have
the
decency
to
control
herself
in
front
of
the
hostile
neighbors
.
Not
a
single
person
had
spoken
to
her
that
morning
or
given
her
one
look
of
sympathy
.
They
had
kissed
Scarlett
quietly
,
shaken
her
hand
,
murmured
kind
words
to
Carreen
and
even
to
Pork
but
had
looked
through
Suellen
as
if
she
were
not
there
.
To
them
she
had
done
worse
than
murder
her
father
.
She
had
tried
to
betray
him
into
disloyalty
to
the
South
.
And
to
that
grim
and
close-knit
community
it
was
as
if
she
had
tried
to
betray
the
honor
of
them
all
.
She
had
broken
the
solid
front
the
County
presented
to
the
world
.
By
her
attempt
to
get
money
from
the
Yankee
government
she
had
aligned
herself
with
Carpetbaggers
and
Scallawags
,
more
hated
enemies
than
the
Yankee
soldiers
had
ever
been
.
She
,
a
member
of
an
old
and
staunchly
Confederate
family
,
a
planter
's
family
,
had
gone
over
to
the
enemy
and
by
so
doing
had
brought
shame
on
every
family
in
the
County
.
The
mourners
were
seething
with
indignation
and
downcast
with
sorrow
,
especially
three
of
them
--
old
man
McRae
,
who
had
been
Gerald
's
crony
since
he
came
to
the
up-country
from
Savannah
so
many
years
before
,
Grandma
Fontaine
who
loved
him
because
he
was
Ellen
's
husband
,
and
Mrs.
Tarleton
who
had
been
closer
to
him
than
to
any
of
her
neighbors
because
,
as
she
often
said
,
he
was
the
only
man
in
the
County
who
knew
a
stallion
from
a
gelding
.
The
sight
of
the
stormy
faces
of
these
three
in
the
dim
parlor
where
Gerald
lay
before
the
funeral
had
caused
Ashley
and
Will
some
uneasiness
and
they
had
retired
to
Ellen
's
office
for
a
consultation
.
"
Some
of
them
are
goin
'
to
say
somethin'
about
Suellen
,
"
said
Will
abruptly
,
biting
his
straw
in
half
.
"
They
think
they
got
just
cause
to
say
somethin'
.
Maybe
they
have
.
It
ai
n't
for
me
to
say
.
But
,
Ashley
,
whether
they
're
right
or
not
,
we
'll
have
to
resent
it
,
bein
'
the
men
of
the
family
,
and
then
there
'll
be
trouble
.
Ca
n't
nobody
do
nothin
'
with
old
man
McRae
because
he
's
deaf
as
a
post
and
ca
n't
hear
folks
tryin
'
to
shut
him
up
.
And
you
know
there
ai
n't
nobody
in
God
's
world
ever
stopped
Grandma
Fontaine
from
speakin
'
her
mind
.
And
as
for
Mrs.
Tarleton
--
did
you
see
her
roll
them
russet
eyes
of
hers
every
time
she
looked
at
Sue
?
She
's
got
her
ears
laid
back
and
ca
n't
hardly
wait
.
If
they
say
somethin'
,
we
got
to
take
it
up
and
we
got
enough
trouble
at
Tara
now
without
bein
'
at
outs
with
our
neighbors
.
"
Ashley
sighed
worriedly
.
He
knew
the
tempers
of
his
neighbors
better
than
Will
did
and
he
remembered
that
fully
half
of
the
quarrels
and
some
of
the
shootings
of
the
days
before
the
war
had
risen
from
the
County
custom
of
saying
a
few
words
over
the
coffins
of
departed
neighbors
.
Generally
the
words
were
eulogistic
in
the
extreme
but
occasionally
they
were
not
.
Sometimes
,
words
meant
in
the
utmost
respect
were
misconstrued
by
overstrung
relatives
of
the
dead
and
scarcely
were
the
last
shovels
of
earth
mounded
above
the
coffin
before
trouble
began
.
In
the
absence
of
a
priest
Ashley
was
to
conduct
the
services
with
the
aid
of
Carreen
's
Book
of
Devotions
,
the
assistance
of
the
Methodist
and
Baptist
preachers
of
Jonesboro
and
Fayetteville
having
been
tactfully
refused
.
Carreen
,
more
devoutly
Catholic
than
her
sisters
,
had
been
very
upset
that
Scarlett
had
neglected
to
bring
a
priest
from
Atlanta
with
her
and
had
only
been
a
little
eased
by
the
reminder
that
when
the
priest
came
down
to
marry
Will
and
Suellen
,
he
could
read
the
services
over
Gerald
.
It
was
she
who
objected
to
the
neighboring
Protestant
preachers
and
gave
the
matter
into
Ashley
's
hands
,
marking
passages
in
her
book
for
him
to
read
.
Ashley
,
leaning
against
the
old
secretary
,
knew
that
the
responsibility
for
preventing
trouble
lay
with
him
and
,
knowing
the
hair-trigger
tempers
of
the
County
,
was
at
a
loss
as
to
how
to
proceed
.
