@@@@@”Good Lord, Will, is Suellen
having another baby? You’re going to have to build on some more
rooms”We’re still trying for a boy He lifted a
hand in greeting to his wife and three daughtersScarlett waved too,
wishing she’d thought to buy some toys to bring the childrenOh,
Lord, look at all of them
Scarlett’s eyes ran over the other faces, searching out the black ones
Prissy was there; Wade and Ella were hiding behind her skirts
and Big Sam’s wife, Delilah, holding the spoon she must have been
stirring with There was-what was her name?-oh, yes, Lutie, the
Tara
children’s mammyBut where was Mammy? Scarlett called out to her
children”Hello, darlings, Mother’s here Then she turned back to
Will, put a hand on his arm”Where’s Mammy, Will? She’s not so old
that she can’t come to meet me Fear pinched the words in Scarlett’s
throat”She’s sick in bed, Scarlett Scarlett jumped down from the
still-moving wagon, stumbled, caught herself and ran to the house
“Where’s Mammy?” she said to Suellen, deaf to the excited greetings
of
the children”A fine hello that is, Scarlett, but no worse than I’d

ready to slap her sister”Suellen, if you don’t tell me where Mammy
is, I’ll scream Prissy pulled on Scarlett’s sleeve
“I knows where Mammy is, Miss Scarlett, I knowsShe’s powerful
sick,
so we fixed up that little room next the kitchen for her, the one what
used to be where all the hams was hung when there was a lot of
hams
It’s nice and warm there, next to the chimneyShe was already there
when I come, so I can’t exactly say we fixed up the room altogether,
but I brung in a chair so as there’d be a place to sit if she wanted to
get up or if there was a visitor
