She
sprang
to
her
feet
with
a
cry
and
he
lunged
from
his
seat
,
laughing
that
soft
laugh
that
made
her
blood
cold
.
He
pressed
her
back
into
her
chair
with
large
brown
hands
and
leaned
over
her
.
"
Observe
my
hands
,
my
dear
,
"
he
said
,
flexing
them
before
her
eyes
.
"
I
could
tear
you
to
pieces
with
them
with
no
trouble
whatsoever
and
I
would
do
it
if
it
would
take
Ashley
out
of
your
mind
.
But
it
would
n't
.
So
I
think
I
'll
remove
him
from
your
mind
forever
,
this
way
.
I
'll
put
my
hands
,
so
,
on
each
side
of
your
head
and
I
'll
smash
your
skull
between
them
like
a
walnut
and
that
will
blot
him
out
.

His
hands
were
on
her
head
,
under
her
flowing
hair
,
caressing
,
hard
,
turning
her
face
up
to
his
.
She
was
looking
into
the
face
of
a
stranger
,
a
drunken
drawling-voiced
stranger
.
She
had
never
lacked
animal
courage
and
in
the
face
of
danger
it
flooded
back
hotly
into
her
veins
,
stiffening
her
spine
,
narrowing
her
eyes
.
"
You
drunken
fool
,
"
she
said
.
"
Take
your
hands
off
me
.
"
To
her
surprise
,
he
did
so
and
seating
himself
on
the
edge
of
the
table
he
poured
himself
another
drink
.
"
I
have
always
admired
your
spirit
,
my
dear
.
Never
more
than
now
when
you
are
cornered
.

She
drew
her
wrapper
close
about
her
body
.
Oh
,
if
she
could
only
reach
her
room
and
turn
the
key
in
the
stout
door
and
be
alone
.
Somehow
,
she
must
stand
him
off
,
bully
him
into
submission
,
this
Rhett
she
had
never
seen
before
.
She
rose
without
haste
,
though
her
knees
shook
,
tightened
the
wrapper
across
her
hips
and
threw
back
her
hair
from
her
face
.
"
I
'm
not
cornered
,
"
she
said
cuttingly
.
"
You
'll
never
corner
me
,
Rhett
Butler
,
or
frighten
me
.
You
are
nothing
but
a
drunken
beast
who
's
been
with
bad
women
so
long
that
you
ca
n't
understand
anything
else
but
badness
.
You
ca
n't
understand
Ashley
or
me
.
You
've
lived
in
dirt
too
long
to
know
anything
else
.
You
are
jealous
of
something
you
ca
n't
understand
.
Good
night
.
"
She
turned
casually
and
started
toward
the
door
and
a
burst
of
laughter
stopped
her
.
She
turned
and
he
swayed
across
the
room
toward
her
.
Name
of
God
,
if
he
would
only
stop
that
terrible
laugh
!
What
was
there
to
laugh
about
in
all
of
this
?
As
he
came
toward
her
,
she
backed
toward
the
door
and
found
herself
against
the
wall
.
He
put
his
hands
heavily
upon
her
and
pinned
her
shoulders
to
the
wall
.
