scarlett 's mother began sobbing , which made scarlett cry , and one of the policewomen got into an argument with scarlett 's father , who tried to tell her that he , as a taxpayer , paid her wages , and she told him that she was a taxpayer too and probably paid his wages , while bod sat in the shadows in the corner of the chapel , unseen by anyone , not even scarlett , and watched and listened until he could take no more .
