There
's
more
ways
of
killing
a
cat
than
choking
him
to
death
with
butter
,
"
giggled
Melanie
when
the
whiskered
old
man
had
thumped
down
the
stairs
.
"
I
had
intended
all
along
for
Archie
to
put
up
those
lanterns
but
you
know
how
he
is
.
He
wo
n't
do
a
thing
if
you
ask
him
to
.
And
now
we
've
got
him
out
from
underfoot
for
a
while
.
The
darkies
are
so
scared
of
him
they
just
wo
n't
do
any
work
when
he
's
around
,
breathing
down
their
necks
.
"
"
Melly
,
I
would
n't
have
that
old
desperado
in
my
house
,
"
said
Scarlett
crossly
.
She
hated
Archie
as
much
as
he
hated
her
and
they
barely
spoke
.
Melanie
's
was
the
only
house
in
which
he
would
remain
if
she
were
present
.
And
even
in
Melanie
's
house
,
he
stared
at
her
with
suspicion
and
cold
contempt
.
"
He
'll
cause
you
trouble
,
mark
my
words
.
"
"
Oh
,
he
's
harmless
if
you
flatter
him
and
act
like
you
depend
on
him
,
"
said
Melanie
.
"
And
he
's
so
devoted
to
Ashley
and
Beau
that
I
always
feel
safe
having
him
around
.

"
You
mean
he
's
so
devoted
to
you
,
Melly
,
"
said
India
,
her
cold
face
relaxing
into
a
faintly
warm
smile
as
her
gaze
rested
fondly
on
her
sister-inlaw
.
"
I
believe
you
're
the
first
person
that
old
ruffian
has
loved
since
his
wife
--
er
--
since
his
wife
.
I
think
he
'd
really
like
for
somebody
to
insult
you
,
so
he
could
kill
them
to
show
his
respect
for
you
.
"
"
Mercy
!
How
you
run
on
,
India
!
"
said
Melanie
blushing
.
"
He
thinks
I
'm
a
terrible
goose
and
you
know
it
.
"
"
Well
,
I
do
n't
see
that
what
that
smelly
old
hill-billy
thinks
is
of
any
importance
,
"
said
Scarlett
abruptly
.
The
very
thought
of
how
Archie
had
sat
in
judgment
upon
her
about
the
convicts
always
enraged
her
.
"
I
have
to
go
now
.
I
've
got
to
go
get
dinner
and
then
go
by
the
store
and
pay
off
the
clerks
and
go
by
the
lumber
yard
and
pay
the
drivers
and
Hugh
Elsing
.

"
Oh
,
are
you
going
to
the
lumber
yard
?
"
asked
Melanie
.
"
Ashley
is
coming
in
to
the
yard
in
the
late
afternoon
to
see
Hugh
.
Can
you
possibly
hold
him
there
till
five
o'clock
?
If
he
comes
home
earlier
he
'll
be
sure
to
catch
us
finishing
up
a
cake
or
something
and
then
he
wo
n't
be
surprised
at
all
.
"
Scarlett
smiled
inwardly
,
good
temper
restored
.
"
Yes
,
I
'll
hold
him
,
"
she
said
.
