I'm not going to lose hold of myself,
I'm notThe O'Hara doesn't do that kind of thingWhat was that? The doctor? Mrs"Are you doing all right, MrsO'Hara?"
"Just fine," said The O'Hara"I've brought sheets and blankets and
soft pillowsSome men are coming with a mattressCan I do
anything
for you?"
"I'd like some water Scarlett propped herself on an elbow and drank
thirstily"Who's getting the doctor?"
"ColumHe tried to cross the river for the doctor in Adamstown, but
he couldn't make itI'd like some more water please, and a fresh sopperThis
one's soaked throughFitzpatrick tried to hide the horror on
her face when rolex replica she saw the blood-soaked towel between Scarlett's legs
She wadded it up and hurried to one of the stone sinks with it
Scarlett looked at the trail of bright red drops on the floor
That's part of me, she told herself, but she couldn't believe it
She'd had lots of cuts in her life, as a child playing, when she was
hoeing cotton at Tara, even when she pulled up the nettlesPut them
all together and they'd never bled as much as that towel had in it
Her abdomen contracted and blood gushed onto the table
Stupid woman, I told her I needed another towel"What time does
your
watch say, MrsFitzpatrick?"
"Five-sixteen
"I louis vuitton duffle bag reckon the storm's making travel slowI'd like some water and
another towel, pleaseNo, come to think of it, I'd like some tea,
with plenty of sugar Give the woman something to do and maybe
she'll
quit hanging over me like an umbrellaI'm sick and tired of making
conversation and brave smilesI'm scared half-witted if truth be
knownThe contractions aren't any stronger, or closer together,
eitherI'm not getting anywhere at allAt least the mattress feels
better than the table, but what's going to happen when it gets soaked
through, too? Is the storm getting worse or am I just spooked? Rain
was buffeting the windows now, discount tiffany's necklace propelled by a mighty windColum O
'Hara was nearly knocked down by a branch torn from a tree in the
wood
near the houseHe climbed over it and moved on, bent against the
windThen he remembered, turned around, was blown onto the limb,
fought for a foothold in the quagmire mud of the drive, dragged the
limb to one side, fought against the wind again towards the house
"What time is it?" said Scarlett
"Scarlett darling, is it very bad?"
"Oh, Colum!" Scarlett pushed herself to half sitting"Is the doctor
with you? The baby's not kicking as much as before
"I found a midwife in DunshaughlinThere's no getting to Trim, cheap rolex watches the
river's over the roadLie back, now, like a good motherDon't tire
yourself more than you have to' "Where is she?"
"On the wayMy horse was faster, but she's close behindShe's
brought hundreds of babies, you'll be in good hands
"I've had babies before, ColumThere's some- thing bad wrong
"She'll know what to do, lamb The midwife bustled
in just after eightHer starched uniform was limp with wet, but her
competent manner was as crisp as if she hadn't been rushed on an
emergency at all"A baby, is it? Ease your mind, missus, I know
