Scarlett
was
silent
and
her
heart
sank
.
She
could
think
of
no
defense
for
this
last
,
for
she
knew
Gerald
was
right
.
Ashley
's
heart
was
in
none
of
the
pleasant
things
he
did
so
well
.
He
was
never
more
than
politely
interested
in
any
of
the
things
that
vitally
interested
every
one
else
.
292
Rightly
interpreting
her
silence
,
Gerald
patted
her
arm
and
said
triumphantly
:
"
There
now
,
Scarlett
!
You
admit
'
tis
true
.
What
would
you
be
doing
with
a
husband
like
Ashley
?
'
Tis
moonstruck
they
all
are
,
all
the
Wilkes
.
"
And
then
,
in
a
wheedling
tone
:
"
When
I
was
mentioning
the
Tarletons
the
while
ago
,
I
was
n't
pushing
them
.
They
're
fine
lads
,
but
if
it
's
Cade
Calvert
you
're
setting
your
cap
after
,
why
,
'
tis
the
same
with
me
.
The
Calverts
are
good
folk
,
all
of
them
,
for
all
the
old
man
marrying
a
Yankee
.
And
when
I
'm
gone
--
Whist
,
darlin
'
,
listen
to
me
!
I
'll
leave
Tara
to
you
and
Cade
--
"
293
"
I
would
n't
have
Cade
on
a
silver
tray
,
"
cried
Scarlett
in
fury
.
"
And
I
wish
you
'd
quit
pushing
him
at
me
!
I
do
n't
want
Tara
or
any
old
plantation
.
Plantations
do
n't
amount
to
anything
when

She
was
going
to
say
"
when
you
have
n't
the
man
you
want
,
"
but
Gerald
,
incensed
by
the
cavalier
way
in
which
she
treated
his
proffered
gift
,
the
thing
which
,
next
to
Ellen
,
he
loved
best
in
the
whole
world
uttered
a
roar
.
295
"
Do
you
stand
there
,
Scarlett
O'Hara
,
and
tell
me
that
Tara
--
that
land
--
does
n't
amount
to
anything
?
"
296
Scarlett
nodded
obstinately
.
Her
heart
was
too
sore
to
care
whether
or
not
she
put
her
father
in
a
temper
.
297
"
Land
is
the
only
thing
in
the
world
that
amounts
to
anything
,
"
he
shouted
,
his
thick
,
short
arms
making
wide
gestures
of
indignation
,
"
for
'
tis
the
only
thing
in
this
world
that
lasts
,
and
do
n't
you
be
forgetting
it
!
'
Tis
the
only
thing
worth
working
for
,
worth
fighting
for
--
worth
dying
for
.

"
Oh
,
Pa
,
"
she
said
disgustedly
,
"
you
talk
like
an
Irishman
!
"
299
"
Have
I
ever
been
ashamed
of
it
?
No
,
'
tis
proud
I
am
.
And
do
n't
be
forgetting
that
you
are
half
Irish
,
Miss
!
And
to
anyone
with
a
drop
of
Irish
blood
in
them
the
land
they
live
on
is
like
their
mother
.
'
Tis
ashamed
of
you
I
am
this
minute
.
I
offer
you
the
most
beautiful
land
in
the
world
--
saving
County
Meath
in
the
Old
Country
--
and
what
do
you
do
?
You
sniff
!

Gerald
had
begun
to
work
himself
up
into
a
pleasurable
shouting
rage
when
something
in
Scarlett
's
woebegone
face
stopped
him
.
