2 It was for this precise reason that Stuart and Brent were idling on the porch of Tara this April afternoon.
3 But they were loath to face their mother and they lingered on the porch of Tara, momentarily expecting Scarlett to give them an invitation to supper.
4 Why, you liar, I saw you with my own eyes sidle round the corner of the porch and squat in the cape jessamine bush by the wall.

7 Near the house, Scarlett was at the point of speaking again when she saw her mother in the dim shadows of the porch.
8 Against their depredations, a small black sentinel was stationed on the front porch.
9 On the porch steps stood John Wilkes, silver-haired, erect, radiating the quiet charm and hospitality that was as warm and never failing as the sun of Georgia summer.
