She heard him laugh as he turned away and walked back toward thewagon. With such strongarms about her, surely nothing could harm her. But, in spite of herself, her heart quickened andeach beat seemed to thunder: Home! He took the lamp from her and set it on the ground.

Lawd, Miss Scarlett, he say our gempmums done tuck his hawse ancahige fer a amberlance. Please, Melanie whispered again, the sword. You little fool, and his voice was swift and rough.
I am annoyed at myself to find that somuch quixoticism still lingers in me. How wonderful to bea man and as strong as Rhett, she thought, tucking her wide skirtsabout her.
Do you still want to try to get through to Tara?
She took one look at the horse and her heart sank.
Blinking in the sunlight, her eyes fell on Melanie and she gasped,horrified. Impossible to do anything but sitwith hammering heart and wait for Rhett. In the hall, Scarlett saw a bonnet and put it onhurriedly, tying the ribbons under her chin.

She ran around the wagon and saw him lying on hisside.
Was he going to refuse to take her home, after allshed gone through this terrible day? Scarletts search was futile until in the orchard she found a fewapples.
Her face wasdeathly white but her eyes, sunken and black circled, were serene. God help the Yankees ifthey should get you.
