Who's there? Halt or I'll shoot! You all alone, little lady? You ain't
very friendly, are you?
You got anything else besides these earbobs? |
SCARL |
You Yankees have been here before. |
YANKE |
Regular little spitfire, ain't you? What have you got hidden in your hand? |
MELLY |
Scarlett, you killed him! I'm glad you killed him! |
SUELN |
Scarlett! Scarlett, what happened? |
CAREN |
What is it, Scarlett? What is it? |
MELLY |
Don't be scared, chickens! You big sister was trying to clean a revolver
and it went off and nearly scared her to death. |
CAREN |
Oh, thank goodness. |
SUELN |
Haven't we got enough to frighten us? |
GERLD |
Tell Katie Scarlett she must be more careful. |
SCARL |
What a cool liar you are, Melly. |
MELLY |
We've got to get him out of here and bury him, if the Yankees find him
here, they'll... |
SCARL |
I didn't see anyone else. I think he must be a deserter. |
MELLY |
But, even so, we've got to hide him. They might hear about it, and then-they'd-they'd
come and get you. |
SCARL |
I could bury him in the arbor where the ground is soft-but how can I get
him out of here? |
MELLY |
We'll both take a leg and drag him. |
SCARL |
You could't drag a cat. |
MELLY |
Scarlett, do you think it would be dishounest if we went through his haversack? |
SCARL |
I'm ashamed I didn't think of that myself. You take the haversack. I'll
search his pockets. |
