What mixed feelings does Tita have after the rebels leave?

Pedro, Roberto, and Rosaura move to live in San Antonio, and their absence depresses Tita. She has no passion for life except for feeding worms to a baby pigeon that survived a visit by the rebel army. A few days earlier, when the revolutionary army came to the ranch, Tita and Chencha hid in the cellar while Mama Elena defended her property. Gun in petticoat, Mama Elena threatened the army not to touch anything in the house but she allowed them to take stock of the corncrib and stable. The army removed all the birds from the dovecote above the house except for one baby dove, which Tita later found and rescued. Mama Elena never discovered that the man who comes to the ranch is the same man who carried Gertrudis away months earlier.
