MARGARETTA BRUCKER j Chapter 28 Johnny Return fINNY oDcned her eves wide. then smiled. "Not entirely. Although it'i no more to be con demned than marrying for a fine plantation home. "So that'i what people are lay ing'" Ginnv ihrujmed. "Why should Jou care? Toby tayi that your ohnny'a a swell person and I've made up my mind mat lodys a better judge o( character than I am. I don't tee why he picked me but then." Ginnv decided ihrewdly, "Toby likei nice people and I do have family. "You're leaving one Important thing out of this arrangement, aren't you?" asked Sue Ellen quietly. "You mean love?" Glnny leaned over and patted the hand which wore Johnny's diamond. "What about you? You told me over and over that you couldn't suma jonnny nams, oui you married him when he asked you. I knew that he'd bought Belle Acres the day we went out there and the sign was down in front of the house, remember? I knew who had started to tear down those tumbledown stables. I knew long ago that he loved you. Id rather marry a man who loved me too much than to have too much loving on my side. I'll make loby nappy see it 1 don L And you married a man you weren't In love with. Do you know. Sue. that's why I had the courage to marry Toby." She felt like a cheat Suppose Ginny had made a mistake and she was responsible. Ginny was wrong; she did love the man she married, it mignt Be days possi bly months until Johnny would know: he would guess, ha must see. But Ginny could she love plain, clumsy, honest Toby enough to te nappy with mmr Ginny ran on and on and then taid curiously: "You haven't heard a word. Honey, are you still upset about rtiv and Dee- dors 7 "Why ahould I be?" Ginny stared thoughtfully at the carpet "It must oe odd for you to be married to a Yankee." A ranKee is no ainerent irom any other man." Ginny pondered this. "Well, a ' northern girl is certainly no dif ferent from one of us. Look at Deedora Waller. She went off the deep end about Riv Moor and now she's in a Jam." "You know?" ."Everyone In Tyler Springs knows. I wonder she came back here. Do you know what I think?" Ginny rushed on to answer her own question. "I think she's senti. mental." "Deedora?" Ginny nodded. "All that brusque manner isjso much cam ouflage and underneath she fell for Riv because she's much more romantic than you or me, who have married for a plantation and a grocery." "Ginny!" "It's the truth. Deedora came down here with one idea: to marry a handsome southern gen tleman to manage the estate her father bought for her. She had a romantic picture of southern life. Stately old home with white columns and magnolias. Riv fitted into the picture, and being engaged to another girl made him more fascinating and desir able. She saw Riv as another Rhett Butler, Just as these Camp Shelby soldiers see a Scarlett O'Hara In every pretty girl. Un derneath the skin, a Yankee is twice as susceptible as a south erner." Secret Out THE conversation might have gone on and on. for Ginny loved to talk and was Just warm ing to her subject, but Aunt Car appeared and settled herself at the window, and with a warning glance. Sue Ellen hinted that they had better change the conversa tion. They talked about the newly formed Red Cross unit and whether or not the carpet should be cleaned at the Episcopal Church, and Anally Ginny de clared she must go. As Sue Ellen followed her out into the hall, she whispered: "Don't mention what I told you." "About Deedora?" "About me, goose. If mamma should find out my plan, she'd hut me up on bread and water until 1 came to my senses. And don't forget, you've promised to go over tomorrow afternoon and break the bad news to her." "I wonder If that news about Deedora is true." said Sue Ellen as she and Ginny moved toward the street door. "How your mind runs to Dee dora Waller. She made plenty of trouble for you." "If I could do anything to help her. . . ." Ginny said: "Hal Help her? Better not ofTrr her any pity, she doesn't hesitate to tell evervone how much she dislikes you.'1 Sue Ellen stood and watched through the window as Ginny paddled oft In the rain, umbrella bobbing, rubbers sloshing, her red raincoat the one bright spot In the sullen sodden landscape. When she went back to the li brary. Aunt Car said: "What's i Ginny Fairchild hatching now?" j "Why?" ! "Because mischief Is written all J over her face." ' Before she remembered her promise, Sue Ellen said: "She's marrying Toby Tyler tomorrow" "The Lord bless us and save us." Aunt Car's tapestry fell to her lap. "What's the South com ing to. when a Fairchild marries a common crossroads grocer?" "Waking up," said Sue Ellen briefly. "This generation of southerners is changing its sense of values. We get no satisfaction out of clinging to outmoded ideas which were all richt for our great-grandfpthers. We're eman cipated." She smiled, then sob ered and added earnestly: "I promised Ginny not to tell her plans. Don't say anything to any one about it, will you?" Aunt Car promised. "Glnny know anything else?" Sue Ellen came across the room and bent and kissed her. "The whole town thinks I married Johnny to get possession of Belie Acres. "And does that worry you?" "It isn't true." said Sue Ellen softly. "You know that" Aunt Car's slender hand caught Sue Ellen's fingers and held them closely. "When are you going to lei your nusDana Know mat you love him?" she asked, gently. "When I'm sure that he loves me." was Sue Ellen's answer. The rain continued throughout the day. About two in the after noon, Johnny called from Camp Shelby. "I may have to go away tor a monin. ne told &ue Ellen. "I'm coming over this afternoon to wind up the signing of those papers. I want everything to be settled and Belle Acres in your name before I leave. These are uncertain times." His tone was troubled. . Theres no danger that you won't come back?" "Trv to keeD me awav." said Johnny, and something in his voice made her heartbeat quicken. lie would be over about four. he must drive back soon after dinner. Sue Ellen left the tele phone to announce that there would be a guest for dinner. "A very important guest," she told Aunt Jennie, whom she found ambling about the low-cell in eer kitchen. "My husband is coming and I want to have everything just right " funny Kind of a husband. muttered Aunt Jennie, who had known Sue Ellen from the dav she took her first step and never hesitated to express her opinion on anything which concerned her. You stay . heah and he stay theah. Whoever heard' of such nonsense. That s the modern wav " Sue Ellen teased her. Aunt Jennie tossed her lcfnkv head. "That's what all these triflin' no-account gran'chillun of mine says. I ain' modern." She rolled her eyes. "I ain" nevah hear of a husban' that don' want to make love to his wife. It am' decent it ain' " "Maybe things will be different soon," said Sue Ellen demurely. "You must remember that my husband is a soldier." Aunt Jennie grumbled. "Sol diers! What we fightin' foah this timer - Cnasked Guest AUNT PLEAS' announcement that Riv was downstairs and wanted to see her annoyed Sue Ellen, upset her and made her slightly uneasy. The talk with Riv earlier in the week should have convinced him that their re lations were ended. She had told him flatly that she did not want to see him. Now, he had come again. "He looks terrible. I think he has been drinking. If you don't care to see him, I'll tell him' you're out or resting. I'll make some excuse." "Then he may rush off and say or do something rash and create a lot of gossip." Sue Ellen was already slipping out of her house coat and into a dark wool dress 'Tell him I'll be down in a min ute and make some excuse to in terrupt us if you hear that he is becoming loud and unmanage able." "I don't think you should see him," Aunt Plena insisted. She did not tell her aunt that she was afraid not to see Riv. Always high-tempered and reck less, he might rush otf downtown and express his opinion about Johnny Harris and start a new flood of gossip. Once and for all, Riv must understand that he should go about his own busi ness and leave her alone. When she came downstairs, she found him pacing the hall, staring up the staircase and rush ing to meet her before ever she reached the last step. He caught her arm and drew her quickly into the front parlor. He arose, strode back and forth a minute, his breath coming stormily, his blark eyes flashing. "So you married the man who could give vou Belle Acres," 'he jeered, "Vvt just come from the bank and learned that vou were to have the place for your own while this Yankee soldier goes back east to show off his uni form. What kind of marriage is that?" "Is that your business, Riv?" "Yes, it i. You run off to marry me and then turn up in Tyler Springs married to someone else ana the whole town is guess ing why and imagining ail sorts of things."
