[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

This dinner was destined to be dull for Scarlett, Suellen and Karin, but not for Gerald.He is a big estate owner, and the war is related to his vital interests, of course he is concerned.Similarly, Margo, who knew the outcome of the war, was also very concerned about the upcoming war. Therefore, among the four sisters, he was the only one who listened carefully to his father's words and worked hard to collect relevant information.

After dinner, Dilsey and Prissy, the mother and daughter that Gerald bought from Twelve Oaks, had already arrived at Tara Manor. Lard was a little worried.

"Why isn't mom back yet?"

Margot said: "It may be that the child's condition is not very good, so it was delayed. Dad, don't worry, Mom will definitely come back today. Mother Hei will follow."

Gerald listened, but said nothing.At this time, the sound of the carriage sounded again outside, and then Ellen's voice sounded, and the family immediately came alive.

Sorry I'm late. " Ellen said, taking the shawl off her shoulders and handing it to Scarlett, while stroking her cheek.

Gerald glowed as if possessed when Ellen entered.

"Baptized the little bastard?"

"It was done, but he's dead. Poor little thing," replied Ellen. "I was worried that Amy would die too, but it seems she's all right."

Scarlett, Suellen, and Karin looked at him suspiciously, and Margot lowered her head slightly to hide her true emotions.

Gerald shook his head philosophically.

"In my opinion, the little bastard is better off dead, poor thing, without a father..."

"It's getting late, let's say our prayers," Ellen interrupted him, so naturally.If Scarlett didn't know his mother well, he would never have noticed that his mother deliberately stopped his father from speaking.

Margot immediately said: "Mom, you must have not had dinner yet, right? Why don't you wait until you have your dinner before saying your prayers."

Ellen shook her head and said, "Thank you, Margot, but I'm not hungry."

Margot said: "How can you not be hungry? I think Mom is too hungry, so I don't feel uncomfortable. Mama Hei, can I trouble you to go to the kitchen?"

Mama Hei immediately shouted: "No, Miss Ellen just doesn't spare herself. Pork, turn up the stove quickly, Miss Ellen is back."

As he spoke, he walked to the kitchen, and kept saying, "I don't know how many times I've said it, it's no good dealing with poor white people. They're all selfish, ungrateful people. Ellen Miss doesn't have to take care of them all the time, exhausting herself. If they are promising, why don't they have some black people around? I've said it a long time ago..."

He said he was talking to himself, and the voice was so loud that he could even hear it in the restaurant.

This is Mama Hei's unique method of letting the master know what she thinks.

She's a smart black nanny.

Soon, Gerald's valet Pok came over with a little boy carrying tableware, and Gerald and several daughters immediately surrounded Ellen.

"Mom, the lace of my new ball gown is loose. I'm going to wear it to Twelve Oaks tomorrow night. Can you sew it for me?"

"Mom, Scarlett's new dress is prettier than mine. I look awful in that pink one. You say she wears mine and I wear her green one, okay? She wears pink too." good-looking."

"Mom, for the prom tomorrow night, should I wait until the prom is over? I'm 13 years old—"

"Mrs. O'Hara, would you believe it--shh, girls, watch out I whip you! Cade Calvert was in Atlanta this morning, and he said--be quiet? I don't even I can't even hear the sound—he said it's all a mess over there, talking about wars, militia drills, and building an army. He said that there was news from Charleston, and they said, absolutely Yankee insults will not be tolerated any longer."

Marge also kept an eye on her mother all the time, and seeing her sleepy face, she had no choice but to speak, "Father, if decent people in Charleston think so, it won't take long for us here to think so too. "

Then he said to the three sisters: "Scarlett, you should have told me about the dance clothes earlier. Mom has been tired all day and needs to rest. Later, you can bring the clothes to my room."

"Suellen, my mother and I both think you look pretty in that pink one too. I just made one if you like green so much. I can give it to you if you like it and you can wear it. , as an early Christmas present. No more trouble with Mom. Mom is tired."

"Rules are rules, Karin. You can stay until dinner is over, but you have to be fourteen for a dance or something. I don't think you want your Brent to think you're a frivolous, ill-bred girl? If You are obedient, I got a new novel from my place, and I can give you a sneak peek."

Although Margot is not the eldest sister, she is very prestigious among the sisters. When she spoke, Scarlett and Suellen didn't dare to make trouble, and Karin also lowered her head.

Of course, it is unknown how Scarlett slanders her in her heart.

Seeing that Margot quickly dealt with the sisters, Ellen also breathed a sigh of relief: "Margo, thank you."

Margo smiled slightly: "Mom, don't worry, I'm already 16 years old."

Ellen smiled and nodded slightly.
