"
Dreams
!
"
she
thought
,
an
old
irritation
stirring
.
"
Always
dreams
with
him
!
Never
common
sense
!
"
With
a
heart
that
was
heavy
and
a
little
bitter
,
she
said
:
"
You
've
been
such
a
fool
,
Ashley
.
Why
could
n't
you
see
that
she
was
worth
a
million
of
me
?
"
"
Scarlett
,
please
!
If
you
only
knew
what
I
've
gone
through
since
the
doctor
--

What
you
've
gone
through
!
Do
n't
you
think
that
I
--
Oh
,
Ashley
,
you
should
have
known
,
years
ago
,
that
you
loved
her
and
not
me
!
Why
did
n't
you
!
Everything
would
have
been
so
different
,
so
--
Oh
,
you
should
have
realized
and
not
kept
me
dangling
with
all
your
talk
about
honor
and
sacrifice
!
If
you
'd
told
me
,
years
ago
,
I
'd
have
--
It
would
have
killed
me
but
I
could
have
stood
it
somehow
.
But
you
wait
till
now
,
till
Melly
's
dying
,
to
find
it
out
and
now
it
's
too
late
to
do
anything
.
Oh
,
Ashley
,
men
are
supposed
to
know
such
things
--
not
women
!
You
should
have
seen
so
clearly
that
you
loved
her
all
the
time
and
only
wanted
me
like
--
like
Rhett
wants
that
Watling
woman
!
"
He
winced
at
her
words
but
his
eyes
still
met
hers
,
imploring
silence
,
comfort
.
Every
line
of
his
face
admitted
the
truth
of
her
words
.
The
very
droop
of
his
shoulders
showed
that
his
own
self-castigation
was
more
cruel
than
any
she
could
give
.
He
stood
silent
before
her
,
clutching
the
glove
as
though
it
were
an
understanding
hand
and
,
in
the
stillness
that
followed
her
words
,
her
indignation
fell
away
and
pity
,
tinged
with
contempt
,
took
its
place
.
Her
conscience
smote
her
.
She
was
kicking
a
beaten
and
defenseless
man
--
and
she
had
promised
Melanie
that
she
would
look
after
him
.
"
And
just
as
soon
as
I
promised
her
,
I
said
mean
,
hurting
things
to
him
and
there
's
no
need
for
me
to
say
them
or
for
anyone
to
say
them
.
He
knows
the
truth
and
it
's
killing
him
,
"
she
thought
desolately
.
"
He
's
not
grown
up
.
He
's
a
child
,
like
me
,
and
he
's
sick
with
fear
at
losing
her
.
Melly
knew
how
it
would
be
--
Melly
knew
him
far
better
than
I
do
.
That
's
why
she
said
look
after
him
and
Beau
,
in
the
same
breath
.
How
can
Ashley
ever
stand
this
?
I
can
stand
it
.
I
can
stand
anything
.
I
've
had
to
stand
so
much
.
But
he
ca
n't
--
he
ca
n't
stand
anything
without
her
.
"

"
Forgive
me
,
darling
,
"
she
said
gently
,
putting
out
her
arms
.
"
I
know
what
you
must
be
suffering
.
But
remember
,
she
does
n't
know
anything
--
she
never
even
suspected
--
God
was
that
good
to
us
.
"
He
came
to
her
quickly
and
his
arms
went
round
her
blindly
.
She
tiptoed
to
bring
her
warm
cheek
comfortingly
against
his
and
with
one
hand
she
smoothed
the
back
of
his
hair
.
"
Do
n't
cry
,
sweet
.
She
'd
want
you
to
be
brave
.
She
'll
want
to
see
you
in
a
moment
and
you
must
be
brave
.
She
must
n't
see
that
you
've
been
crying
.
