Southern Rose [Gone with the Wind]

She couldn't help feeling a little ashamed that her knowledge of the dark side of the world was limited to newspapers, and it was hard for her to have any real sympathy for those less fortunate.Her family background did not allow her to go to some slums for investigation. Leaving aside the reaction of her mother Emile, Mrs. Jenkins, the housekeeper, had to veto it first.

It is the old Mrs. Tarent who does charity, that is, visits orphans in the orphanage under the name of the church.After visiting the orphanage with the old Mrs. Tarent, Victor came back and asked her why some people abandoned their children.He could neither understand nor imagine.As he spoke, he became sad with a gloomy expression on his face.

Reid traded things in the north and south, mainly luxury goods from the north to the south, and a little food by the way.Thanks to him, Aunt Eulalie and Aunt Pauline did not go hungry.Tara was in Clayton County below Atlanta, and he would try to go there, bringing letters and food for Aunt Ellen.

She arranged for Percy to be a liaison in the New York port, and she and John hadn't actually seen Rhett this year.Reid is busy doing business to make money, and I heard that he has made a lot of money.

The year has passed quickly, and Cynthia turned 3 last month.

"How about Atlanta?" Last month, in May 1864, the Northern Army began to besiege Atlanta. The two sides gathered about 5 troops to engage in a tug-of-war around Atlanta.The northern newspaper followed up and reported that John was very anxious, worried about Ellen, three nieces, and little Wade.

He wasn't worried about Gerald.

"It's terrible, it's hard to get in, there are troops around Tara, I can't get through."

"Daddy is worried about Aunt Ellen," she said with a gentle smile, "I wonder if you can make another trip and find a way to get Ellen and her children out. Scarlett is in Tara or in Atlanta? "

Rhett didn't speak for a moment.

"She's in Atlanta. I said, dear lady, you don't know what it's like to be in a place where there's a war going on."

"I don't know. I can give you money, and you can hire as many people as you can. Bring Scarlett and her children out too."

Rhett laughed now, with a mocking expression on his face, "You really said it too simply! Sometimes you can't do many things even if you have money. Money is not everything."

"Really? Then you are wrong, money is everything, the difference is only in the amount. Are you afraid?" She glanced at him charmingly.

Her eyes were so gentle, but her tone was sarcasm, of course he could hear that she was provoking him, if he agreed to her suddenly, he would really be dizzy!

Her words were also very tricky, simple, and tricky, and it was difficult to answer.If it was a girl like Scarlett, he could change the topic, but if it was Scarlett, it's hard to say whether he would miss anyone other than himself and his mother...

He pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid, I only have one life, and I think my life is quite valuable—" He saw the mocking expression on her face, almost fell to the floor After hesitating for a moment, he changed his mind and said: "I will try it, but I can't guarantee it. No one dares to promise you."

She chuckled, "I'll give you something, what do you want, make a list for Sheldon, and when you come to pick up the goods, take the check by the way."

"No check."

"Okay." She suddenly leaned forward, "Thank you."

He didn't understand why he agreed to her suddenly, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed.It seemed that just seeing her frowning slightly, he felt that something was wrong.

He doesn't like this kind of weird feeling at all, and it never happens in other places and other people. He has always been selfish, and he will only do things that are beneficial to him, and if there is a danger of losing his life He always prefers to avoid things early.

His mother and sister were in Charleston, precarious but generally not life-threatening, and he had made arrangements to take them away if the Union army entered Charleston.But Charleston is only a seaside city, and a letter from the port is useless.Unlike Atlanta, which has military implications.

He is a man who went to West Point Military Academy. Of course, he can see that the South is about to end now. The battle of Atlanta does not know how long it will take. Once this battle is over, the South will be completely defeated.

He frowned and thought about how to get closer to Atlanta.

Josephine is right, you can do a lot with enough money.John Robillard was not stingy, and probably used the money he brought out of Savannah to support the lives of his three younger sisters. In fact, it would not be difficult at all to bring Eulalie and Pauline out, but it was not difficult. The necessary and most dangerous one is of course Tara's Ellen.

Speaking of which, he actually knew Ellen Robillard very early.These good families in Charleston and Savannah knew each other, and he was two years older than Ellen.

oops!He thought of Miss Ellen back then, and he didn't see that she would be a stubborn girl. What did people say at the time?How Miss Ellen could have married a vulgar Irishman is beyond comprehension.
