Had all the troops moved out yet ? Had the Yankees come ? Would the Confederates march away without even a fight ? Then she remembered with a sick dropping in her stomach how few Confederates there were and how many men Sherman had and how well fed they were . Sherman ! The name of Satan himself did not frighten her half so much . But there was no time for thinking now , as Melanie called for water , for a cold towel on her head , to be fanned , to have the flies brushed away from her face .

Шерман! Имя самого Сатаны не так уж испугало ее. Но теперь не было времени думать, поскольку Мелани потребовала воды, холодного полотенца на голову, обмахивания его и смахивания мух с лица.
