[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Two months, after two full months, Margot had a good understanding of this Barton Manor and made a plan.Of course, it was two months later when Henry Hamilton reappeared at Barton Manor.

The old lawyer did indeed telegraph George Clark to confirm.A little time wasted in replying to the telegram, since George Clark's army was on a mission.In addition, Henry Hamilton was always cautious, and he did not go through the relevant procedures for Marge until he received a personal letter from George Clark himself.

Of course, when he came for the second time, Margot entrusted him again to buy the hill behind the manor.Nominally, Margot liked the hickory nuts all over the mountains, but in fact, it was naturally because Margot planned to hollow out the mountainside and build a warehouse in the mountainside.

Margot remembered it very clearly. In the original book, Tara Mountain was ransacked several times. Not only the cotton stored in the warehouse was burned, but even the food hidden in the black hut was robbed.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a warehouse in a hidden place.

During this time, Margot became acquainted with his sister-in-law, the young Eliza Clarke.This is a somewhat withdrawn girl, not very talkative.Of course, considering that his mother died of dystocia, his father also died when he was young, and his brother didn't care about her, and directly handed her over to the black nanny Hattie, he knew how lonely this child was.

Just a little doll, and it kept Eliza smiling all afternoon.

When Henry Hamilton came to Barton Manor for the third time, Margot was enjoying afternoon tea with Elisa. When Henry handed over the documents to Marg, he told Marg a news: Charles Hamilton had returned to Atlanta.

The 19-year-old boy contracted pneumonia less than two months after joining the army, and it deteriorated rapidly.If Marge hadn't prepared the medicine, the young Mr. Hamilton might not have survived.However, after this incident, Charles Hamilton's health was broken and he had to return to Atlanta to recuperate.And Scarlett was clearly not a good wife.

Scarlett didn't like Charles in the first place, but chose to marry Charles Hamilton just in order not to make herself a laughing stock of others.Therefore, facing everyone in the house on Peachtree Street, one moment may be a gentle and sweet smile, but the next moment may become a violent storm.

Even Henry Hamilton knew Scarlett's bad temper.

The old gentleman was very surprised, because the Mrs. Clarke he knew was a typical southern lady, gentle and dignified, the complete opposite of Scarlett.The old lawyer couldn't figure out why they were twins who looked exactly the same, how could there be such a difference in temper.

Just look at how the two of them treat their sister-in-law. Scarlet doesn't have a good look at Melanie at all, but here, the young Eliza's attachment to Marge can be seen at a glance.

Children are the most sensitive.If adults treat them badly, they won't be so attached to a person without blood.

After Margot heard about Henry's confusion, she smiled and said, "Please bear with me, I think Scarlett has a bad temper, but it's because she's pregnant."

Henry was taken aback, and blurted out: "What?"

Poor old lawyer, the ladies in the south that he knows are always reluctant to hide their pregnancy. How can they tell others so frankly like Marge?Especially since he is not from the Clark family, but just a lawyer.

This is also the difference between Margot and the women of this era. She will not hide her belly and pretend that she is no different from not being pregnant. On the contrary, she does not mind sharing her happy news with everyone around her.

Henry, the lawyer who has served the Clark family for many years, is no exception.

Of course, at this moment, Margo hoped that George would know the good news.The arrival of this child made Margot feel from the bottom of her heart that her life was slowly becoming complete.

She also has a sense of solidity in her heart.

"I said Scarlett was pregnant."

Henry was dumbfounded, and stammered: "But, how do you know?"

Margot said: "Because I'm pregnant too." Seeing that Henry was in a trance and looked shocked, Margot told him kindly: "By the way, you are not a doctor, and you have never been married. .So I don’t know. I have translated medical books, so I know my body very well. I remember you contacted my husband before? If possible, please help me to pass this news on to my husband ,May I?"

As expected of an old lawyer, Henry calmed down quickly: "Is there anything else I need to do?"

Marge said: "I think, with Scarlett's mental state, my mother will not worry about her, and maybe she will rush to Atlanta to take care of her. However, my mother is not in good health and often suffers from insomnia. I I have prepared sleeping pills for her. Please pass it on to Melanie and ask her to give it to my mother, is that okay? If possible, I also hope that Melanie can stare at my mother to take the medicine every day before going to bed. I am very worried , if my mother continues to suffer from insomnia, it will probably wear down his body."

Henry said stupidly: "Do you have medicine?"

Marge said: "Ah, you don't know. I'm a translator. Because of my work, I have studied pharmacology for a while. It's still possible to prepare some simple medicines."

Henry said: "What about anti-inflammatory drugs? What about quinine? Can you mix them all?"

Mag said: "There are many kinds of anti-inflammatory drugs. If you don't tell me which one you need, I can't confirm whether I can make it. In addition, quinine needs cinchona trees, and Georgia does not have this kind of tree. If If I can get cinchona bark, resin, etc., I can do it, if not, I have nothing to do."

Henry said: "But I heard that you bought the medicine in that medical kit through speculators."

Marge nodded, and said, "Yes, of course you can only buy medicines like quinine. But things like vitamin C tablets are extracted by myself."

Henry Hamilton, like Ashley, was not optimistic about the South.He was willing to fight for the good of the South just for his homeland.This kind of thinking is not uncommon among older men.

Henry was also one of the few who knew about the Southern disadvantage.Although Atlanta is also building a factory now, Henry knows very well that the quality of the guns produced in the South is much worse than that of the Yankees, not to mention medicines and the like, and can only rely on those who bravely broke through the blockade speculators.

Therefore, Henry expressed great concern about Margot's ability to refine medicine.
