@@@@@She knew I was there those awful two days after Melly died, when she needed me to manage thingsThey all did, even India, bleating like a goat"What shall we do about the funeral, Scarlett? About the food for the callers? About the coffin? The pallbearers? The cemetery plot? The inscription on the headstone? The notice in the paper? Now they're leaning all over each other, weeping and wailingWell I won't give them the satisfaction of seeing me cry all by myself wit nobody to lean onIf I start, I might never be able to stopWhen I get to Tara, I can cryScarlett lifted her chin, her teeth clenched to stop their chattering from the cold, to hold back the choking in her throatThis will be over soon, and then I can go home to TaraThe jagged pieces of Scarlett's shattered life were all around there in Atlanta's Oakland CemeteryA tall spire of granite, gray stone streaked with gray rain, was somber memorial to the world that was gone forever, the carefree world of her youth before the WarIt was the Confederate Memorial, symbol of the proud, heedless courage that had plunged the South with bright banners flying into destructionIt stood for so many lives lost, the friends of her childhood, the gallants who had begged for waltzes and kisses in the days when she had no problems greater than which wide-skirted ballgown to wearIt stood for her first husband, Charles Hamilton, Melanie's brotherIt stood for the sons, brothers, husbands, fathers of all the rain-wet mourners on the small knoll where Melanie was being buriedThere were other graves, other markersFrank Kennedy, Scarlett's second husbandAnd the small, terribly small, grave with the headstone that read EUGENIE VIcToRIA BUTLER, and under it BoNNIEHer last child, and the most lovedThe living, as well as the dead, were all round her, but she stood apartHalf of Atlanta was there, it seemedThe crowd had overflowed the church and now it spread in a wide, uneven dark circle around the bitter slash of color in the gray rain, the open grave dug from Georgia's red clay for the body of Melanie WilkesThe front row of mourners held those who'd been closest to herWhite and black, their faces all streaked with tears, except Scarlett'sThe old coachman Uncle Peter stood with Dilcey and Cookie in a protective black triangle around Beau, Melanie's bewildered little boyThe older generation of Atlanta were there, with the tragically few descendants that remained to th

@@@@@And there, sitting in Pam's old Boston rocker, was Reba the Anger-Management Doll, now grown to the size of an actual childHer feet, clad in black Mary Janes, swung back and forth just above the floor at the end of horrible boneless pink legsHer shallow eyes stared at meHer lifeless strawberry curls bounced back and forthHer mouth was smeared with blood, and in my dream I knew it wasn't human blood or dog's blood but the stuff that had oozed out of my mostly raw 58 hamburger - the stuff I had licked off the paper plate when the meat was goneThe bad frog chased us! Reba criedIt has TEEF! xii That word - TEEF! - was still ringing in my head when I sat up with a cold puddle of October moonlight in my lapI was trying to scream and producing only a series of silent gaspsMy heart was thunderingI reached for the bedside lamp and mercifully avoided knocking it on the floor, although once it was on, I saw that I'd pushed the base halfway out over the dropThe clock-radio claimed it was 3:19 AMI swung my legs out of bed and reached for the phoneIf you really need me, call me, Kamen had saidAny time, day or nightAnd if his number had been in the bedroom phone's memory, I probably would'veBut as reality re-asserted itself - the cottage by Lake Phalen, not the house in Mendota Heights, no croaking voice downstairs - the urge passed59 Reba the Anger-Management Doll in the Boston rocker, and grown to the size of an actual childWell, why not? I had been angry, although at MrsFevereau rather than at poor Gandalf, and I had no idea what toothy frogs had to do with the price of beans in BostonThe real question, it seemed to me, was about Monica's dogHad I killed Gandalf, or had he just expired? Or maybe the question was why I'd been so hungry afterwardMaybe that was the question"I took him in my arms," I whisperedYour arm, you mean, because now one is all you've gotBut my memory was taking him in my arms, plura

Melanie tells me I stretch my hand out to the man?he's the closestHe reaches for my hand, and his grip is so strongHe yanks me forward, right up to his bodyMy heart beats faster, and I'm afraidI've never been scared like this beforeHis hand swings toward my face, and I gaspI suck in the mist that comes from his handA silver cloud that tastes like raspberries?Wha ?? I want to ask, but I can't see them anymoreI can't see anything?Wanda? Can you hear me, Wanda?? a familiar voice askedThat wasn't the right name? was it? My ears didn't react to it, but something didWasn't I Petals Open to the Moon? Pet? Was that it?
