"
Ashley
,
"
she
said
.
"
Ashley
and
you
--
"
Her
voice
faltered
into
stillness
.
At
the
mention
of
Ashley
's
name
,
Scarlett
's
heart
stood
still
,
cold
as
granite
within
her
.
Melanie
had
known
all
the
time
.
Scarlett
dropped
her
head
on
the
coverlet
and
a
sob
that
would
not
rise
caught
her
throat
with
a
cruel
hand
.
Melanie
knew
.
Scarlett
was
beyond
shame
now
,
beyond
any
feeling
save
a
wild
remorse
that
she
had
hurt
this
gentle
creature
throughout
the
long
years
.
Melanie
had
known
--
and
yet
,
she
had
remained
her
loyal
friend
.
Oh
,
if
she
could
only
live
those
years
over
again
!
She
would
never
even
let
her
eyes
meet
those
of
Ashley
.

"
O
God
,
"
she
prayed
rapidly
,
"
do
,
please
,
let
her
live
!
I
'll
make
it
up
to
her
.
I
'll
be
so
good
to
her
.
I
'll
never
even
speak
to
Ashley
again
as
long
as
I
live
,
if
You
'll
only
let
her
get
well
!
"
"
Ashley
,
"
said
Melanie
feebly
and
her
fingers
reached
out
to
touch
Scarlett
's
bowed
head
.
Her
thumb
and
forefinger
tugged
with
no
more
strength
than
that
of
a
baby
at
Scarlett
's
hair
.
Scarlett
knew
what
that
meant
,
knew
Melanie
wanted
her
to
look
up
.
But
she
could
not
,
could
not
meet
Melanie
's
eyes
and
read
that
knowledge
in
them
.
"
Ashley
,
"
Melanie
whispered
again
and
Scarlett
gripped
herself
.
When
she
looked
God
in
the
face
on
the
Day
of
Judgment
and
read
her
sentence
in
His
eyes
,
it
would
not
be
as
bad
as
this
.
Her
soul
cringed
but
she
raised
her
head
.
She
saw
only
the
same
dark
loving
eyes
,
sunken
and
drowsy
with
death
,
the
same
tender
mouth
tiredly
fighting
pain
for
breath
.

No
reproach
was
there
,
no
accusation
and
no
fear
--
only
an
anxiety
that
she
might
not
find
strength
for
words
.
For
a
moment
Scarlett
was
too
stunned
to
even
feel
relief
.
Then
,
as
she
held
Melanie
's
hand
more
closely
,
a
flood
of
warm
gratitude
to
God
swept
over
her
and
,
for
the
first
time
since
her
childhood
,
she
said
a
humble
,
unselfish
prayer
.
"
Thank
You
,
God
.
I
know
I
'm
not
worth
it
but
thank
You
for
not
letting
her
know
.
"
