[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

When Miss Saron Margaret O'Hara saw her sister Scarlett, the first thing she noticed was the slightly red eyes and the visibly blown nose.

Margo didn't say anything, but turned around and gave her father a hug: "Oh, Dad, welcome home."

Gerald O'Hara said: "Oh, my dear Margot, what do you think of the land?"

"Land?" Margot slightly widened her eyes in surprise, and the corner of her eyes glanced at Scarlett's face.Whether it's the original book or the movie, too much time has passed, and she can't remember many details.Margot didn't know that Gerald had an unpleasant conversation with Scarlett before this, and she didn't know why her father suddenly asked her such a question, but Margot still expressed her thoughts: " Dad, I think the land is benevolent. Whether we are innocent or sinful, as long as we live in this land, as long as we work hard, the land will reward us accordingly."

Gerald said to Scarlett, "Have you heard that, this is what a serious Irishman should think."

Scarlet lowered his head slightly, not speaking.

She has always been a double-faced person, she has only learned a little bit about the cultivation of a lady, but she is used to putting on a show, so her mother believes her, and she and her father protect each other, so her father doesn't really pursue her faults.It's just that today she said something that may be taboo for Irish people, which made Gerald very unhappy.

Margot pretended not to understand the conflict between Gerald and Scarlett, she turned to her sister, and handed over the shawl that had been hanging on his arm: "Scarlett, you don't have a shawl He ran out, and Mama Hei was very worried. This is the shawl that Mama Hei brought, you should put it on."

Scarlett was full of thoughts.She took her shawl from her sister's hand heavily, wrapped it around her body, and said, "Have you heard? Ashley is getting engaged to his cousin in Atlanta! You are broken in love!"

Scarlett thought that this sister would be as heartbroken as she was, but she didn't expect that the other party just said calmly: "Oh, is that so? Then I will congratulate Ashley tomorrow."

Scarlett was surprised: "Aren't you sad?"

Margot was puzzled: "Why should I be sad?"

Scarlett said: "But, but don't you like Ashley? You often go to Twelve Oaks."

Only then did Margot realize: "Scarlett, I just regard Ashley as my elder brother. Besides, I like Twelve Oaks' collection of books more than Ashley."

At this moment, Gerald was also stunned.

Gerald always thought that his second daughter Margot loved Ashley deeply.

Gerald was a typical Irish immigrant in this period, he could write and count, and he had a tough fighting spirit.They are good entrepreneurs, but it would be too difficult for him to say something about philosophy and art.And, like most of his neighbors, he couldn't comprehend that the Wilkes' trips to Atlanta and New Orleans for an opera, or the purchase of French books, German The behavior of the document is just like he can't understand his second daughter.

In his opinion, his second daughter was not so much the daughter of his Gerald O'Hara, but more like a child of the Wilkes family next door.The girl had neither the energy of his sister Scarlett nor the curiosity about boys that other girls in the county had.This daughter is like another Ashley, who can sit for an afternoon with a book.

It was something not even the Wilkes girls could do.

Therefore, Gerald is not surprised that Margot and Ashley are friendly.

Similar people will always attract each other.

Just as Gerald had never been optimistic about Scarlett and Ashley, he always thought that if the Wilkes family had not kept their promises and had the habit of marrying close relatives, his daughter Saren Mag Ritter O'Hara might be the new mistress of Twelve Oaks.

However, now that Margot is completely indifferent to the news of Ashley's impending engagement, Gerald can't help feeling a little worried.He was afraid that this daughter would become a nun, as the rumors said.

That was really scary.

Gerald wished he could run to his wife immediately and let her share the burden with him.Just then he saw his wife standing in the shadows of the corridor.Ellen was wearing a hat, shawl, and gloves, and Mama Hei followed behind, her face was cloudy and gloomy, and she was holding a black leather bag in her hand, which Ellen used to carry medicines and bandages when she went out to see the serfs. .Mama Hei's wide and thick lips drooped downward, and when she was angry, she would stretch her lower lip to twice its usual size.The mouth was pouted now, so Scarlett understood that Mammy was angry about something she didn't like.

"Mr. O'Hara," Ellen called when he saw the three of them standing in the driveway—Ellen is a true old man. Although he has been married for 17 years and had six children, Still polite--he said: "Mr. O'Hara, someone's sick over there at Slattery. Amy's newborn baby is dying, but he has to be christened. Me and Mammy go see if there's anything else Method."

Her voice had a distinctly questioning tone, as if asking for Gerald's permission, which was nothing more than a gesture of courtesy, but which was very precious to Gerald.

"God knows!" Gerald yelled when he heard that. "Why did these nasty white nuns call you away at supper? And I was going to tell you how people talk about the war over there in Atlanta." Go on, Mrs. Olla. I know that if something happens out there, you won't be able to sleep through the night unless you help."

"She always doesn't rest at all, and she sees black and poor white bastards in the middle of the night, as if they can't take care of themselves." Mammy muttered to herself as she descended the steps and walked towards the carriage waiting by the road.

"You'll just take care of dinner for me, dear," said Ellen, touching Scarlett's cheek with a gloved hand, and addressing Margot, "Mag, Suellen and Karin I'll leave it to you."

Suellen and Karin are not on good terms with the eldest sister Scarlett, but they are very convinced of the second sister Marge. This is an open secret of the O'Hara family.

No matter how much Scarlett fought back the tears in her eyes, she trembled at the touch of her mother's caress, at the faint scent of the lemon-colored straw sachet on her silk dress, and trembled with the everlasting charm. stand up.For Scarlett, there was something startling about Ellen O'Hara, something uncanny with her in the house that awed her, fascinated her, and calmed her.

Gerald helped his wife into the carriage, and told the coachman to be careful all the way.

In Gerald's heart, his wife Ellen O'Hara is his most important asset, and all his daughters combined can't compare to his wife's status in his heart, even if Scarlett and himself Very similar, and Margot was very similar to Mrs.

However, Gerald now felt that he needed his wife's wisdom very much, so he was full of resentment towards the Slattery family who caused his wife to go out.
