His
army
was
across
the
railroad
to
the
east
and
he
had
cut
the
railroad
running
southwest
to
Alabama
.
Only
the
one
railroad
to
the
south
,
to
Macon
and
Savannah
,
was
still
open
.
The
town
was
crowded
with
soldiers
,
swamped
with
wounded
,
jammed
with
refugees
,
and
this
one
line
was
inadequate
for
the
crying
needs
of
the
stricken
city
.
But
as
long
as
this
railroad
could
be
held
,
Atlanta
could
still
stand
.
Scarlett
was
terrified
when
she
realized
how
important
this
line
had
become
,
how
fiercely
Sherman
would
fight
to
take
it
,
how
desperately
Hood
would
fight
to
defend
it
.
For
this
was
the
railroad
which
ran
through
the
County
,
through
Jonesboro
.
And
Tara
was
only
five
miles
from
Jonesboro
!
Tara
seemed
like
a
haven
of
refuge
by
comparison
with
the
screaming
hell
of
Atlanta
,
but
Tara
was
only
five
miles
from
Jonesboro
!
Scarlett
and
many
other
ladies
sat
on
the
flat
roofs
of
stores
,
shaded
by
their
tiny
parasols
,
and
watched
the
fighting
on
the
day
of
the
battle
of
Atlanta
.
But
when
shells
began
falling
in
the
streets
for
the
first
time
,
they
fled
to
the
cellars
,
and
that
night
the
exodus
of
women
,
children
and
old
people
from
the
city
began
.
Macon
was
their
destination
and
many
of
those
who
took
the
train
that
night
had
already
refugeed
five
and
six
times
before
,
as
Johnston
fell
back
from
Dalton
.
They
were
traveling
lighter
now
than
when
they
arrived
in
Atlanta
.
Most
of
them
carried
only
a
carpetbag
and
a
scanty
lunch
done
up
in
a
bandana
handkerchief
.
Here
and
there
,
frightened
servants
carried
silver
pitchers
,
knives
and
forks
and
a
family
portrait
or
two
which
had
been
salvaged
in
the
first
fight
.
Mrs.
Merriwether
and
Mrs.
Elsing
refused
to
leave
.
They
were
needed
at
the
hospital
and
furthermore
,
they
said
proudly
,
they
were
n't
afraid
and
no
Yankees
were
going
to
run
them
out
of
their
homes
.
But
Maybelle
and
her
baby
and
Fanny
Elsing
went
to
Macon
.
Mrs.
Meade
was
disobedient
for
the
first
time
in
her
married
life
and
flatly
refused
to
yield
to
the
doctor
's
command
that
she
take
the
train
to
safety
.
The
doctor
needed
her
,
she
said
.
Moreover
,
Phil
was
somewhere
in
the
trenches
and
she
wanted
to
be
near
by
in
case
...
But
Mrs.
Whiting
went
and
many
other
ladies
of
Scarlett
's
circle
.
Aunt
Pitty
,
who
had
been
the
first
to
denounce
Old
Joe
for
his
policy
of
retreat
,
was
among
the
first
to
pack
her
trunks
.
Her
nerves
,
she
said
,
were
delicate
and
she
could
not
endure
noises
.
She
feared
she
might
faint
at
an
explosion
and
not
be
able
to
reach
the
cellar
.
No
,
she
was
not
afraid
.
Her
baby
mouth
tried
to
set
in
martial
lines
but
failed
.
She
'd
go
to
Macon
and
stay
with
her
cousin
,
old
Mrs.
Burr
,
and
the
girls
should
come
with
her
.
Scarlett
did
not
want
to
go
to
Macon
.
Frightened
as
she
was
of
the
shells
,
she
'd
rather
stay
in
Atlanta
than
go
to
Macon
,
for
she
hated
old
Mrs.
Burr
cordially
.
Years
ago
,
Mrs.
Burr
had
said
she
was
"
fast
"
after
catching
her
kissing
her
son
Willie
at
one
of
the
Wilkes
'
house
parties
.
No
,
she
told
Aunt
Pitty
,
I
'll
go
home
to
Tara
and
Melly
can
go
to
Macon
with
you
.
At
this
Melanie
began
to
cry
in
a
frightened
,
heartbroken
way
.
When
Aunt
Pitty
fled
to
get
Dr.
Meade
,
Melanie
caught
Scarlett
's
hand
in
hers
,
pleading
:
"
Dear
,
do
n't
go
to
Tara
and
leave
me
!
I
'll
be
so
lonely
without
you
.
Oh
,
Scarlett
,
I
'd
just
die
if
you
were
n't
with
me
when
the
baby
came
!
Yes
--
Yes
,
I
know
I
've
got
Aunt
Pitty
and
she
is
sweet
.
But
after
all
,
she
's
never
had
a
baby
,
and
sometimes
she
makes
me
so
nervous
I
could
scream
.
Do
n't
desert
me
,
darling
.
You
've
been
just
like
a
sister
to
me
,
and
besides
,
"
she
smiled
wanly
,
"
you
promised
Ashley
you
'd
take
care
of
me
.
He
told
me
he
was
going
to
ask
you
.
"
Scarlett
stared
down
at
her
in
wonderment
.
With
her
own
dislike
of
this
woman
so
strong
she
could
barely
conceal
it
,
how
could
Melly
love
her
so
?
How
could
Melly
be
so
stupid
as
not
to
guess
the
secret
of
her
love
of
Ashley
?
She
had
given
herself
away
a
hundred
times
during
these
months
of
torment
,
waiting
for
news
of
him
.
But
Melanie
saw
nothing
,
Melanie
who
could
see
nothing
but
good
in
anyone
she
loved
...
.
Yes
,
she
had
promised
Ashley
she
would
look
out
for
Melanie
.
Oh
,
Ashley
!
Ashley
!
you
must
be
dead
,
dead
these
many
months
!
And
now
your
promise
reaches
out
and
clutches
me
!
