"
Ah-ah-hum
,
"
said
Gerald
,
suddenly
and
guiltily
aware
that
the
conversation
,
a
most
interesting
and
entirely
proper
one
to
him
,
would
seem
quite
otherwise
to
Ellen
.
In
fact
,
he
knew
she
would
never
recover
should
she
learn
that
her
daughters
had
been
exposed
to
so
frank
a
conversation
.
But
Mrs.
Tarleton
was
,
as
usual
,
deaf
to
all
other
ideas
when
pursuing
her
favorite
topic
,
breeding
,
whether
it
be
horses
or
humans
.
"
I
know
what
I
'm
talking
about
because
I
had
some
cousins
who
married
each
other
and
I
give
you
my
word
their
children
all
turned
out
as
popeyed
as
bullfrogs
,
poor
things
.
And
when
my
family
wanted
me
to
marry
a
second
cousin
,
I
bucked
like
a
colt
.
I
said
,
'
No
,
Ma
.
Not
for
me
.
My
children
will
all
have
spavins
and
heaves
.
'
Well
,
Ma
fainted
when
I
said
that
about
spavins
,
but
I
stood
firm
and
Grandma
backed
me
up
.
She
knew
a
lot
about
horse
breeding
too
,
you
see
,
and
said
I
was
right
.
And
she
helped
me
run
away
with
Mr.
Tarleton
.
And
look
at
my
children
!
Big
and
healthy
and
not
a
sickly
one
or
a
runt
among
them
,
though
Boyd
is
only
five
feet
ten
.
Now
,
the
Wilkes
--
"
"
Not
meaning
to
change
the
subject
,
Ma
'm
,
"
broke
in
Gerald
hurriedly
,
for
he
had
noticed
Carreen
's
bewildered
look
and
the
avid
curiosity
on
Suellen
's
face
and
feared
lest
they
might
ask
Ellen
embarrassing
questions
which
would
reveal
how
inadequate
a
chaperon
he
was
.
Puss
,
he
was
glad
to
notice
,
appeared
to
be
thinking
of
other
matters
as
a
lady
should
.
Betty
Tarleton
rescued
him
from
his
predicament
.
"
Good
Heavens
,
Ma
,
do
let
's
get
on
!
"
she
cried
impatiently
.
"
This
sun
is
broiling
me
and
I
can
just
hear
freckles
popping
out
on
my
neck
.
"
"
Just
a
minute
,
Ma
'm
,
before
you
go
,
"
said
Gerald
.
"
But
what
have
you
decided
to
do
about
selling
us
the
horses
for
the
Troop
?
War
may
break
any
day
now
and
the
boys
want
the
matter
settled
.
It
's
a
Clayton
County
troop
and
it
's
Clayton
County
horses
we
want
for
them
.
But
you
,
obstinate
creature
that
you
are
,
are
still
refusing
to
sell
us
your
fine
beasts
.
"
"
Maybe
there
wo
n't
be
any
war
,
"
Mrs.
Tarleton
temporized
,
her
mind
diverted
completely
from
the
Wilkeses
'
odd
marriage
habits
.
"
Why
,
Ma
'm
,
you
ca
n't
--
"
"
Ma
,
"
Betty
interrupted
again
,
"
ca
n't
you
and
Mr.
O'Hara
talk
about
the
horses
at
Twelve
Oaks
as
well
as
here
?
"
"
That
's
just
it
,
Miss
Betty
,
"
said
Gerald
.
"
And
I
wo
n't
be
keeping
you
but
one
minute
by
the
clock
.
We
'll
be
getting
to
Twelve
Oaks
in
a
little
bit
,
and
every
man
there
,
old
and
young
,
wanting
to
know
about
the
horses
.
Ah
,
but
it
's
breaking
me
heart
to
see
such
a
fine
pretty
lady
as
your
mother
so
stingy
with
her
beasts
!
Now
,
where
's
your
patriotism
,
Mrs.
Tarleton
?
Does
the
Confederacy
mean
nothing
to
you
at
all
?
