India
shot
one
more
quick
anguished
look
at
Ashley
,
and
,
wrapping
her
cape
about
her
,
ran
lightly
down
the
hall
to
the
back
door
and
let
herself
out
quietly
into
the
night
.
Scarlett
,
straining
her
eyes
past
Rhett
,
felt
her
heart
beat
again
as
she
saw
Ashley
's
eyes
open
.
Melanie
snatched
a
folded
towel
from
the
washstand
rack
and
pressed
it
against
his
streaming
shoulder
and
he
smiled
up
weakly
,
reassuringly
into
her
face
.
Scarlett
felt
Rhett
's
hard
penetrating
eyes
upon
her
,
knew
that
her
heart
was
plain
upon
her
face
,
but
she
did
not
care
.
Ashley
was
bleeding
,
perhaps
dying
and
she
who
loved
him
had
torn
that
hole
through
his
shoulder
.
She
wanted
to
run
to
the
bed
,
sink
down
beside
it
and
clasp
him
to
her
but
her
knees
trembled
so
that
she
could
not
enter
the
room
.
Hand
at
her
mouth
,
she
stared
while
Melanie
packed
a
fresh
towel
against
his
shoulder
,
pressing
it
hard
as
though
she
could
force
back
the
blood
into
his
body
.
But
the
towel
reddened
as
though
by
magic
.

How
could
a
man
bleed
so
much
and
still
live
?
But
,
thank
God
,
there
was
no
bubble
of
blood
at
his
lips
--
oh
,
those
frothy
red
bubbles
,
forerunners
of
death
that
she
knew
so
well
from
the
dreadful
day
of
the
battle
at
Peachtree
Creek
when
the
wounded
had
died
on
Aunt
Pitty
's
lawn
with
bloody
mouths
.
"
Brace
up
,
"
said
Rhett
,
and
there
was
a
hard
,
faintly
jeering
note
in
his
voice
.
"
He
wo
n't
die
.
Now
,
go
take
the
lamp
and
hold
it
for
Mrs.
Wilkes
.
I
need
Archie
to
run
errands
.
"
Archie
looked
across
the
lamp
at
Rhett
.
"
I
ai
n't
takin
'
no
orders
from
you
,
"
he
said
briefly
,
shifting
his
wad
of
tobacco
to
the
other
cheek
.

"
You
do
what
he
says
,
"
said
Melanie
sternly
,
"
and
do
it
quickly
.
Do
everything
Captain
Butler
says
.
Scarlett
,
take
the
lamp
.
"
Scarlett
went
forward
and
took
the
lamp
,
holding
it
in
both
hands
to
keep
from
dropping
it
.
Ashley
's
eyes
had
closed
again
.
His
bare
chest
heaved
up
slowly
and
sank
quickly
and
the
red
stream
seeped
from
between
Melanie
's
small
frantic
fingers
.
Dimly
she
heard
Archie
stump
across
the
room
to
Rhett
and
heard
Rhett
's
low
rapid
words
.
Her
mind
was
so
fixed
upon
Ashley
that
of
the
first
half-whispered
words
of
Rhett
,
she
only
heard
:
"
Take
my
horse
...
tied
outside
...
ride
like
hell
.
"
