1 Looking out the window, Scarlett saw Pork, who had left the room a moment before, holding high a flaring pine knot, while indistinguishable figures descended from a wagon.
2 They hadn't lost a single wagon and only four guns.
3 Maybe you girls didn't know it, but they've got every road, too, every wagon lane and bridle path, except the McDonough road.
4 Then, she saw him dimly as he climbed down from the seat of a small wagon, heard the clicking of the gate as he came toward her.
5 The feather tick on Wade's bed was small and she ordered Prissy to drag it down the stairs and into the wagon.
6 Melanie lay full length in the back of the wagon, and, beside her, were Wade and the towel-swathed baby.
7 The wagon was very small and the boards about the sides very low.
8 The front seat was only a narrow plank across the sides of the wagon.
9 Rhett turned the horse's slow feet westward from Peachtree and the wobbling wagon jounced into the rutty lane with a violence that wrenched an abruptly stifled moan from Melanie.
10 "Not if we hurry," said Rhett and, springing from the wagon, he disappeared into the darkness of a yard.
11 The animal broke into a shambling trot, his breath panting and labored, and the wagon swayed forward with a jolt that threw them about like popcorn in a popper.
12 The baby wailed, and Prissy and Wade cried out as they bruised themselves against the sides of the wagon.
13 If anyone, black or white, comes up on your side of the wagon and tries to lay hand on the horse, shoot him and we'll ask questions later.
14 She knew her safety and that of the others in the back of the wagon depended on him and him alone, but she hated him for his sneering at those ragged ranks.
15 If we can just get near to Rough and Ready, I know a wagon trace that winds off from the main Jonesboro road and wanders around for miles.
