Page "Gone with the Wind" Paragraph 73
from
Wikipedia
On the day Rhett arrives home, Scarlett waits for him at the top of the stairs.
She wonders if Rhett will kiss her, but to Scarlett's irritation, he does not.
He tells her she looks pale.
Scarlett tells him she is pale because she is pregnant.
Rhett sarcastically asks her if the father is Ashley.
She calls Rhett a cad and tells him no woman would want a baby of his.
To which Rhett responds, " cheer up, maybe you'll have a miscarriage.
" At that comment, Scarlett lunges at Rhett, but he side steps and she tumbles backwards down the stairs.
She is seriously ill for the first time in her life, having lost her child and broken her ribs.
Rhett is remorseful, believing he has killed her.
Sobbing and drunk, Rhett buries his head in Melanie's lap and confesses he had been a jealous cad.
