I think shell see me, Rhetts voice floated up to
her. Kennedy was a man of wide interests, said Rhett respectfully.
God would punish her for marrying him when hereally
loved Suellen.
But Id rather it were really truethan have one hair
of your head in danger. Ashley Wilkes,theyd laugh in their faces every time they saw
them. Archie mumbled some question and Scarlett heard Rhett reply: Theold Sullivan
plantation. And I thought about you bein lefta widder with a little boy if
Mr.
He had begged her notto go about alone but she had
not listened to him.
I aint takin no orders from you, he said briefly,
shifting hiswad of tobacco to the other cheek. Now, go take the lamp and hold itfor
Mrs. Well, she didnt care what the town said about her. Scarlett, straining her eyes
past Rhett, felt her heart beat againas she saw Ashleys eyes open.
And to be under obligation to that Butler
man!
Atlanta ladiesvehemently told their husbands that
they did not care a rap whatthe Yankees thought.
The excitement went out of hervoice as, with an
effort, she forced calmness. Shed rather Id have starved thandone this.
Oh, yes, he would understandonly too
well!
And the women, dressinghastily, knocked on their
neighbors doors and spread the story.
Belle unhesitatingly reeled off the names of
twelveunder suspicion, Captain Jaffery smiled sourly.
And they must be underobligation to them. Will all
great Neptunes ocean wash this blood clean from myhand? And they must be
underobligation to them. And red plush curtains and dozens of full-length
giltmirrors? She poured agenerous amount into her water glass and gulped it down.
Its got to appear like a plain case ofshooting. Before dawn the news had trickled
about that the military inquirywould take place that day. Meade did not make a
veryconvincing drunk. If he laughed at her she would die, right then.
She kilt her husband and that nice Wellburn boy,
same asif she shot them. Hes implicated in this and is probably explainingto the
Yankees at this very minute.
