Is it time,Uncle Peter? Is it time for Mr.Ashley to leave? |
| PETER |
Pretty quick now, Miss Scarlett. |
| SCARL |
Miss- Miss Melanie, she isn't going to the depot with him? She hasn't changed
her mind? |
| PETER |
No, ma'am, she's laying down. She's so upset, Mr. Wilkes told her she can't
even come downstairs. |
| SCARL |
Ashley!
Ashley, let me go to the depot with you. |
| ASHLY |
Oh, Scarlett, I'd- I'd rather remember you as you are now. Not shivering
at the depot. |
| SCARL |
All right. Oh, Ashley, I've got a present for you, too! |
| ASHLY |
Why, Scarlett, it's beautiful! Tie it on me, my dear. |
| SCARL |
While Melly was making a new tunic, I made this to go with it. |
| ASHLY |
You made it yourself? Well, then I shall value it all the more. |
| SCARL |
You know there's nothing I wouldn't do for you. |
| ASHLY |
There's something you can do for me. |
| SCARL |
What is it? |
| ASHLY |
Will you look after Melanie for me? She's so frail and gentle, and she-she
loves you so much. you see if I were killed and she had... |
| SCARL |
You mustn't say that! It's bad luck. Say a prayer, quickly. |
| ASHLY |
You say one for me. We shall need all our prayers, now the end is coming. |
| SCARL |
The end? |
| ASHLY |
The end of the war-the end of our world, Scarlett. |
