@@@@@Disgusted, he threw down his hand without even checking to WilsonHe was just beginning to feel angryQuietly, he watched them bet, saw Gallagher put down his last bill "Ah'm makin' an awful mistake, but Ah'll see ya," Wilson said"What ya got, boy?"
Gallagher was truculent as though he knew he were going to be beatenWhat the fug do ya think I got -- it's a flush in hearts, jack up"Ah hate to do this to ya, boy, but Ah got ya in spades with that bull He pointed to his ace For several seconds Gallagher was silent, but the dark lumps on his face turned a dull purpleThen he seemed to burst all at once"Of all the mother-fuggin luck, that sonofabitch takes it all
He sat there quivering A soldier in a bunk near the hatch raised himself irritably on one elbow, and shouted, "For Chrissake, Jack, how about shutting up and letting us get some sleep
"Go fug yourself," Gallagher yelled"Don't you men know when to quit?"
Croft stood upHe was a lean man of medium height but he held himself so erectly he appeared tallHis narrow triangular face was utterly without expression under the blue bulb, and there seemed nothing wasted in his hard small jaw, gaunt firm cheeks and straight short noseHis thin black hair had indigo glints in it which were emphasized by the light, and his gelid eyes were very blue"Listen, trooper," he said in a cold even voice, "you can just quit your pissingWe'll play our game any way we goddam please, and if you don't like it, I don't figure there's much you can do, unless you want to mess with four of us
There was an indistinct muttered reply from the bunk, and Croft continued looking at him"If you're really looking for something, you can mess with me," Croft addedHis speech was quiet and clearly enunciated with a trace of a southern accentWilson watched him carefully This time the soldier who had complained made no answer at all, and Croft smiled thinly, sat down again

thought of her upholstered carriage and matched team, with Elias to
drive themShe needed to go home to AtlantaThe noisy cheerfulness at Fairhill
snapped her out of her moodAs usual Beatrice Tarleton was full of
talk about her horses, and interested in nothing elseThe stables, Scarlett noticed, had a new roofThe house roof had
fresh patchesJim Tarleton looked old, his share was white, but he'd
brought in a good cotton crop with the help of his one-armed son-inlaw,
Hetty's husbandThe other three girls were frankly old maids"Of
course we're miserably depressed about it day and night," said
Miranda,
and they all laughedScarlett didn't understand them at allThe
Tarletons could laugh about anythingMaybe it was connected in some way with having red hairThe twinge
of
envy she felt was nothing newShe'd always wished that she could be
part of a family that was as affectionate and teasing as the Tarletons,
but she stifled the envyIt was disloyal to her motherShe stayed
too long-being with them was so much fun-she'd have to visit the
Fontaines tomorrowIt was nearly dark when she got back to TaraShe
could hear Suellen's youngest wailing for something even before she
got
the door openIt was definitely time to go back to AtlantaBut
there was news that changed her mind at onceSuellen scooped up
the
squalling child and shushed it just as Scarlett walked through the
doorIn spite of her bedraggled hair and misshapen body Suellen
looked prettier than she ever had as a girl"Oh, Scarlett," she
exclaimed"There's such excitement, you'll never guess Hush,
