My figuring is it should be Wade'sHe's your
pa's only grandson, and land should stay in the familyI'm hoping
you'll leave him where he is, Scarlett, to be my right hand and like a
son to me, just the way he is nowYou'll do what you want to doI gave Wade my word I'd talk to you, and now I have
We'll leave it there, if you don't mindI said all I got to say
"I'll think about it," Scarlett promised
The wagon creaked along the familiar road and she saw that the land
she'd known as cultivated fields was now all gone back to scrub trees
and rough weed grassesWill saw the slope of
her shoulders and the droop of her mouth"Where you been this last
couple of years, Scarlett? If it wasn't for Carreen we wouldn't have
known where you'd gone to at all, but http://www.naluxury.com/scategory_21_Tiffany-Jewelry.html" target="_blank then she lost track, too
Scarlett forced herself to smile"I've been having adventures, Will,
travelling all over the placeI visited my O 'Hara kinfolks, tooA
bunch of them are in Savannah, the nicest people you'd ever want to
meetI stayed with them ever so long
And then I went to Ireland to meet some moreYou can't imagine
how
many O'Haras there are Her throat clogged with tearsShe held the
leather pouch to her breast"Will, I brought something for Pa
Will you let me off at the graveyard and keep everybody away for a
little while?"
"Glad to Scarlett knelt in the sun by Gerald O'Hara's graveThe
black Irish soil filtered through her fingers to mix with the red clay
dust of Georgia"Ach, Pa," she murmured, and the meter of her
words
was Irish, http://www.muluxury.com/category_27_Chanel-Watches_1.html" target="_blank "it's a grand place to be sure, County MeathYou're
remembered well, Pa, by all of themI didn't know, Pa, I'm sorryI
didn't know you should be having a fine wake and all the stories told
Ubout when you were a boy She lifted her head and the sunlight
gleamed in the flood of tears down her faceHer voice was cracked,
clogged with weeping, but she did the best she could, and her grief
was
strong"Why did you ieavc me? O:lion! O:lion, Cchon, Ubogon 01"
Scarlett was glad she hadn't told anyone in Savannah about her plan
to
take Wade and Ella back to Ireland with herNow she didn't have to
explain why she'd left them at Tara; it would have been so humiliating
to tell the truth, that her own children didn't want her, that they
were strangers to her http://www.culuxury.com/categorys_4_Monogram-Denim_1.html" target="_blank and she to themShe couldn't admit to anyone,
not even herself, how much it hurt and how much she blamed herself
She felt small and mean; she could hardly even be glad for Ella and
Wade, who were so obviously happyEverything had hurt at Tara
She'd
felt like a strangerExcept for Grandma Robillard's portrait, she
hardly recognized anything in the houseSuellen had used the money
every month to buy new furniture and furnishingsThe unscarred
wood
of the tables was glaringly shiny to Scarlett's eyes, the colors in the
rugs and curtains too brightAnd the baking heat she'd
longed for in the Irish rains gave her a headache that lasted the whole
week she was thereShe'd enjoyed visiting Alex and Sally Fontaine,
but their new baby only reminded her how http://www.ualuxury.com/scategory_28_Omega-Watches.html" target="_blank much she missed CatIt
was
only at the Tarletons' that she had a good timeTheir farm was doing
well, and MrsTarleton talked nonstop about her mare in foal and her
expectations for the three-year-old she insisted that Scarlett
admire
The easy, no-invitation-required visiting back and forth had always
been the best thing about the CountyBut she'd been glad to leave
Tara, and that hurt, tooIf she didn't know how much Wade loved it,
it would have broken her heart that she could hardly wait to get
away
At least her son was taking her placeShe saw her new lawyer in
Atlanta after the Tara visit, and she made a will, leaving her
two-thirds share of Tara to her sonShe wasn't going to do like her
father, and her Uncle Daniel, and leave a mess behind http://www.muluxury.com/scategory_7_Gucci.html" target="_blank
