This room's like an oven already and it isn't noon yet.Oh don't worry,
Melly. Mother says it always seems like the doctor will never come. If
I don't take a strap to that Prissy... Oh Melly! You know what I heard
about Maybelle Merriwether? You remember her funny- looking beau of hers?
The one with a uniform like ladies' red flannel underdrawers?
MELLY
You don't have to keep on talking for my sake, Scarlett. I know how worried
you are.
PRISSY
Just a few more days
For to tote the weary load
No matter it will never...
SCARL
Oh, Melly, I-I'll just go and fetch you some cooler water.
You're as slow as molasses in January. And where's Dr. Meade?
PRISSY
I ain't never seed him, Miss Scarlett.
SCARL
What!
PRISSY
No'm, he ain't at the hospital. A man, he told me that the doctor's down
at the car shed with the wounded soldiers...
SCARL
Well, why didn't you go after him?
PRISSY
Miss Scarlett, I's scared to go down there at the car shed. There's folkses dying down there. And I's scared of dead folkses! Oh...
SCARL
Oh, you go sit by Miss Melly. And don't you be upsetting her or I'll whip
the hide off you!
