[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

It has to be said that the girls in Tara Manor are super active.

That afternoon, Missy Scarlett O'Hara was the first to report the happy news with Charles Hamilton, and she insisted that she just wanted to get married, and quickly!

According to the customs at that time, the general time interval between engagement and marriage was one year, and the shortest would not be shorter than six months.To get married in just two weeks, as Scarlett had requested, was simply unimaginable in the peaceful age.Even Ellen wrung her hands frowningly, and proposed to do it a little later, hoping that Scarlett could make a long-term plan.

But Scarlett was always sullen, unable to listen to and ignore her mother's entreaties.

Scarlett wanted to be married, and quickly, within two weeks.

If it was changed before, even if Suellen didn't say anything, Margot would definitely stand by her mother and help her stop Scarlett.But this time, whether it was Margot or Suellen, the sisters kept silent.

Because on the same day that Scarlett agreed to Charles Hamilton, that Mr. Clark also proposed to Margot, and Margot said that if the other party did not change his mind, she would give an answer two days later.

As for Suellen, she had also made a deal with Frank Kennedy.Because Suellen was the younger sister, according to custom, it was impossible to marry before her sister.So the two of them make an agreement if Margo decides to get married.They can announce the happy news on the same day.

Because the sisters already had a tacit understanding, they kept silent about Scarlett's insistence on getting married immediately.

Even if Ellen objected again, but couldn't stand Charles' entreaties, and Gerald was very satisfied with the son-in-law, Scarlett's wedding date was still set.

But two days later, Margot and Suellen announced the happy news, and also asked to get married two weeks later, which almost made Ellen faint.

Gerald was very angry about this.

"Margo, I always thought you were a sensible daughter! But this time, you are really outrageous."

Margot put down the fork in her hand very calmly, and said, "Dad, you know, I have always liked to read. And the boys in the county, take the Tarleton boy as an example, they all thought they were expelled from school. Proud! Stewart and Brent have been kicked out of school for the fourth time in two years, and their brother has also dropped out. Can I be happy marrying someone like this? And the only one in the county with similar hobbies to mine The young man Ashley Wilkes is not only engaged to me, but also has a bad temper with me. I don't like his indecisive appearance. Dad, I miss Mr. Clark. How long will it take me to find a man? A husband who has the same hobbies and gets along well?"

Gerald groaned and couldn't speak.

He knew that Margot was telling the truth.

He had to turn to his third daughter, Suellen: "Your sister is in a hurry to find a match, are you the same? Are you also in a hurry to get married?"

Suellen had known her parents' partiality for a long time. Hearing this, she immediately counterattacked: "Dad, have you forgotten what happened at Twelve Oaks Manor that day? If it wasn't for Scarlett, why should I rush to get married?!"

"you!"

Su Ellen raised her head and said, "Dad, because Scarlett is like you, she made a mistake and you covered her. But what about me? I am also your daughter! Scarlett robbed my Frank, Why don't you scold him, Scarlet stole Karin's Brent, why don't you say anything? Because we are not as beautiful and as ostentatious as Scarlett, so we should be wronged as it should be? Because We are honest and obedient, so all this is what we should suffer?"

Gerald blushed with anger, his neck was thick, especially those eyes, which were bigger than copper bells, which made Suellen's heart pound.But she still insisted on saying what she said: "Dad, I am also your daughter. Like your beloved Scarlett, I am also selfish and willful. I decided to get married so early because I don't want to see Scarlett's face. And marriage is the only legal, procedural and ceremonial means for me to leave this house. Is it frank enough to say this?!"

For the first time, Suellen went upstairs without finishing her meal.

And Karin looked left and right, put down the knife and fork, and ran upstairs.

She showed her support for Suellen with her actions.

Gerald stared at the backs of the two young daughters for a long while before saying, "Margo, I handed Suellen and Karin to you. Is this your answer to me?"

Margot stood up, her expression was still calm, and her tone was still peaceful, but her words were like a storm hidden in the sea, which made Ellen very uneasy: "Dad, no matter how capable I am, I am only 16 years old. Scarlett is half an hour younger. You are our father, and no one can replace you."

As she said that, Margot also walked towards the door of the restaurant. Halfway there, Margot suddenly turned her head and said, "Dad, Suellen is only 15 years old this year. Do you know how many times she has been sad, how many times?" After being disappointed, will you say such a thing?"
