[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Macon is 120 kilometers away from Atlanta, not a small suburban county like Clayton.Of course, Macon at this time is not the city of cherry blossoms 200 years later, or it can be said that even cherry blossoms are rare.

But Marge is very satisfied, because the location of Barton Manor is very good.

The only regret for Marge was that because the army was in a hurry, George could only rest at Barton Manor for one night, and had to set off early the next morning to report to the army.

So, that night, regardless of how uncomfortable she had been in the car for several days, Margot asked George to go back to his room to rest first, while she called the valet Tom to him in front of the black people in the room. Go up to him and hand him a medical messenger bag and a small pouch that can be hung around his neck.

"Tom, I heard that you are going to the battlefield with your husband, is that true?"

"Yes, ma'am." The manservant was not very old, but he already had the style of a housekeeper of a large manor.He stared at a pair of black eyes, looking extraordinarily simple and honest.But Margot will never despise these seemingly simple and honest black people.

Margot said: "Take it. This is a medical kit. Are you literate?"

Tom shook his head.

Margot pointed out the bottles to him. The bottle with the red lid contained medicine for pneumonia, the bottle with the green lid contained medicine for dysentery, and the largest bottle contained vitamin C. Tablets can treat colds and can also be used to reduce inflammation in wounds.How to eat dehydrated carrots is explained in detail.Tom didn't memorize it once, but Margot patiently taught it again and again until Tom memorized it.

Margo told the servant like this: "Your husband is a typical southerner. The tradition of southerners is that good things should be shared with friends. If his comrades are in trouble, your husband will definitely share his medicine with his. Comrades share. Therefore, this part of you is extremely important. Use your ingenuity, protect yourself, and try to keep these medicines as much as possible, so that your husband can have them when he encounters problems in the future. Remember ?"

Tom nodded emphatically.

Margot picked up the pouch again, and said, "There is a gold coin in it. If, I mean, if, you get lost with your husband on the battlefield, and you can't find him, then remember to come back. This is your travel expenses. In any case, you are from Barton Manor, and this is your home."

Tom listened and nodded sharply.

In this way, Margot sent her husband away.

At this time, there are no young people left in the county.But what does it matter?After asking John, the black housekeeper at home, Marge still went to the neighbors' houses to arrange them, and each family sent medical kits.No matter what the other party's attitude is, for Margot, as long as his mind is there, it's fine.

It is only May now, and for Margo, the most important thing this month is to open up a new piece of land to plant rice.

Margot didn’t know if Macon would be like Tara in the original book, having been robbed by the Yankees several times and facing the Confederate material collection teams who came to the manor to gather supplies, but this did not prevent him from Get ready early.What makes Marge happy is that Georgia's climate is a typical subtropical humid climate, and it is no problem to grow rice twice a year.The only trouble is the land.

Barton Manor has always been well managed, and Margot will not easily move the cotton fields that have been carefully managed and have a fairly good yield.Therefore, Margot's only choice is to buy the swampland in the distance, and then reclaim the swampland so that it can be used to grow rice.These things, Margot had already done when she was at Tara.

Margo wrote a letter to Henry Hamilton, asking him to handle it for her.Henry Hamilton was a fairly well-known lawyer in Atlanta high society.Although he is a bit old, he is very reliable in his work.Knowing that Margot wanted to buy land, she rushed to Barton Manor in person.

Hearing that Margot had no cash in hand and was planning to buy federal bonds, Henry couldn't help but said, "Mrs. Clark, are you sure? You want to buy a swamp?"

"Is there any problem?"

"I mean, even if the swamp land is bought, it can't be used to grow cotton. However, the situation in the South is very good, the bond has overflowed by 12.00%, and the price will continue to go up from now on. You really Do you want to use bonds to buy swampland? And it's such a large area."

Margot said: "Yes. Mr. Hamilton. Why don't I have enough money in my hand? You know, for a woman like me, it is impossible to understand things like bonds very well. However, the purchase of land As for the matter, I have already greeted George in advance. George also agreed with me to do so. If you need confirmation, I can give you George's army number, and you can call to ask."

Henry Hamilton could only nod his head and |fuck| do it for the young lady.
