Roth dreamt that he was catching butterflies in a lovely green meadow when Minetta wakened him for guardHe grumbled and tried to go back to sleep, but Minetta kept shaking him”All right, all right, I’m getting up,” he whispered angrilyHe rolled over, groaned a little, got on his hands and knees, and shook his head”Three hours’ guard tonight,” he realized with dreadMorosely he began to put on his shoes
Minetta was waiting for him in the machine-gun emplacement”Jesus, it’s spooky tonight,” he whispered”I thought I’d be on forever
“Anything happen?”
Minetta gazed out at the black jungle before themIt was just possible to discern the barbed wire ten yards beyond the machine gun”I thought I heard some Japs sneaking around,” he muttered, “so keep your ears open
Roth felt a sick fear”Are you sure?”
“I dunnoThe artillery’s been going steady for the last half hourI think there’s a battle going on”Wait!” A battery fired a few miles away with a hollow clanging sound”I bet the Japs are attackingJesus, recon is gonna get caught right in the middle of it
“I guess we’re lucky,” Roth said
Minetta’s voice was very lowBeing doubled up on guard ain’t so good eitherThree hours on a night like this is enough to make you flip your lidHow do we know that the Japs won’t break through, and before your shift is over they’ll be attacking right here? We’re only ten miles from the fron

“These are the best biscuits I ever tasted,” Scarlett said”Could I
have another?” She was beginning to feel much better with a good
sleep
behind her, a good meal in her stomach, and the children taken care
of
She knew she should go back to Atlanta-she still had to do something
about BeauAshley, too; she’d promised Melanie
But she’d think about that laterShe’d come to Tara for country peace
and quiet, she was determined to have some before she left
After breakfast Suellen went out to the kitchenProbably to complain
about something, Scarlett thought uncharitably
It gave her a chance to be alone and peaceful The house is so
quietThe children must be having their breakfast in the kitchen, and
of course Will’s long gone to the fields with Wade dogging his
footsteps, just the way he used to when Will first came to Tara
Wade’ll be much happier here than in Atlanta, especially with Rhett
gone- No, I won’t think about that now, I’ll go crazy if I doI’ll
just enjoy the peace and quiet, it’s what I came forShe poured
herself another cup of coffee, not caring that it was only lukewarm
Sunlight through the window behind her illuminated the painting on
the
wall opposite, above the scarred sideboardWill had done a grand job
repairing the furniture that the Yankee soldiers had broken up, but
even he couldn’t remove the deep gouges they’d made with their
swords
Or the bayonet wound in Grandma Robillard’s portraitWhatever
soldier
had stabbed her must have been drunk, Scarlett figured, because he’d
missed both the arrogant almost-sneer on Grandma’s thin-nosed face
and
the bosoms that rounded up over her low cut gownAll he’d done was
jab through her left earring, and now she looked even more interesting
wearing just oneHer mother’s mother was the only ancestor who
really
interested Scarlett, and it frustrated her that nobody would ever tell
her enough about her grandmotherMarried three times, she had
learned
that much from her mother, but no detailsAnd Mammy always cut
off
tales of life in Savannah just when they started getting interesting
There had been duels fought over Grandma, and the fashions of her
day
had been scandalous, with ladies deliberately wetting their thin muslin
gowns so that they’d cling to their legs
And the rest of them, too, from the look of things in the portrait

I should blush just from thinking the kind of things I’m thinking,
Scarlett told her

i
My name is Edgar FreemantleI used to be a big
deal in the building and contracting business
This was in Minnesota, in my other lifeI learned
that my-other-life thing from WiremanI want to
tell you about Wireman, but first let’s get
through the Minnesota part
Gotta say it: I was a genuine American-boy success
thereWorked my way up in the company where I
started, and when I couldn’t work my way any
higher there, I went out and started my ownThe
boss of the company I left laughed at me, said I’d

be broke in a yearI think that’s what most
bosses say when some hot young pocket-rocket goes
off on his own
For me, everything worked out
Paul boomed, The Freemantle Company boomedWhen
things tightened up, I never tried to play big
But I did play my hunches, and most played out
wellBy the time I was fifty, Pam and I were
worth forty million dollarsAnd we were still
tightWe had two girls, and at the end of our
particular Golden Age, Ilse was at Brown and
Melinda was teaching in France, as part of a
foreign exchange programAt the time things went
wrong, my wife and I were planning to go and visit
her
I had an accident at a job siteIt was pretty
simple; when a pickup truck, even a Dodge Ram with
all the bells and whistles, argues with a twelvestory
crane, the pickup is going to lose every
timeThe right side of my skull only cracked

“Perhaps we should sit downIt’s a long, tiring story Slowly,
methodically, rigidly unemotional, Rhett told his sister about Scarlett’s
two earlier marriages, about his proposal and Scarlett’s agreement to
marry him for his moneyHe also told her about Scarlett’s
near-obsessive love for Ashley Wilkes throughout all the years he’d
known her”But if you knew that, why on earth did you marry her?”
Rosemary asked”Why?” Rhett’s mouth twisted in a smile
“Because she was so full of fire and so recklessly, stubbornly brave
Because she was such a child beneath all her pretenses

Rhett raised his head”I’m afraid,” he said quietly, “afraid that it

selfish, that she’s like a child who cries for a toy and then breaks it
once she has itBut there are moments when she tilts her head at a

lost-and I come close to forgetting what I know Rosemary put her hand on his arm
