[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Although Mrs. Merriwether, Mrs. Elsing, and Mrs. Whiting all spoke highly of Suellen, none of them had any opinion of Margot.Not because Margot wasn't good enough, but because they didn't know what to say about this equally young lady.

That day was also the day when Melanie really got to know Marge. Even after going through a lot of things, Melanie still remembers the scene of that day.

As Scarlett and Suellen confronted each other, an emotional voice called from upstairs: "Mom."

The youngest girl of the O'Hara family rushed down the stairs in a brand new and expensive dress, and threw herself into her mother's arms, followed by a very dignified and richly dressed young lady, Holding a little girl who was only six or seven years old by the hand.

It is already polite to say that the other party is well dressed.It was a champagne-colored silk satin dress with strings of pearls adorning the chest.This outfit is enough for going to a court banquet, let alone a ball.

The same is true for the little girl who is six or seven years old.Although it is a child's dress, it is also dressed in silk satin, lace and bows all over the body.The lace is also embellished with fine crystals.Not to mention Melanie, even Scarlett's eyes burst into flames.

Charles Hamilton was a rich man, but only a rich man in Atlanta.Charles is willing to spend money on his wife, buying jewelry and clothes for Scarlett, but Charles has a lot of money, and Scarlett can't spend money as he wants, let alone Ellen.Ellen wouldn't look at Scarlett's extravagance.

Therefore, no matter how vain Scarlett was, her clothes and jewelry were within the range allowed by Ellen.

So, seeing Margot and Eliza, Scarlett was really jealous.

She always thought that she was the best married among the sisters, and that Charles was rich and willing to dress her up.But seeing the two younger sisters today, Scarlett became jealous.

The two younger sisters are better married, the husband doesn't care about them, and he can dress up as he likes.Look at the jewels all over her body, Scarlet almost jumped on it and tore off the dress from Margo.

"If only I could have such a dress, I would suit him better than Margot. With such a dress, all the men at the ball would be fascinated by me." Scarlett said to herself.

But Ellen was here, and she just glared at her sister, not daring to do anything.

First, I greeted my mother, and introduced my sister-in-law to my mother and the guests who came today with the etiquette of an adult. Then, under the introduction of my mother, Margot got to know one wife after another. One step, gentlemen who have just entered the door, such as Dr. Meade.

Carefully, Melanie discovered that being introduced to the guests with adult etiquette obviously made the little girl very excited. What made Melanie even more surprised was that Suellen, who had just fought with Scarlett, was evenly matched. When he saw his sister, he softened immediately, and showed a pitiful look like a puppy.

This is a kind of look that can only be obtained by completely trusting the other party, and it makes Scarlet want to slap her: he speaks bad words to himself, and this is how he looks when facing Margot who looks exactly like him.

Scarlett is simply a little girl who can't reflect on herself.In her eyes, if one of the two made a mistake, it would definitely not be her, Scarlet O'Hara, unless it was her mother, Ellen.

It can be seen that Scarlett is simply a little girl who has not grown up.

Of course, Suellen, who is habitually dependent on her older sister, is also a little girl in a sense.

Marge greeted the men who just came in: "Dr. Meade, I heard that my mother has been helping in the hospital for more than a year, is that true? Can I ask for a leave of absence for her? Since my mother current physical condition."

Most men are careless, and if no one reminds them, they often don't notice until the last moment.

After Dr. Meade heard about it, he immediately glanced at Ellen and said, "That's true. Mrs. O'Hara is a kind person, and she comes to the hospital every day. She can come only once a day. All the ladies in the city That's right. But, Mrs. Clark, can you think of another way about the alcohol problem? There is always not enough alcohol in the hospital."

Margot said: "Doctor Meade, the orders placed by the south with our manor will be until next year. Although the number of people on the manor is increasing day by day, refining alcohol requires a lot of wine, and making wine requires food It's a pity that in Georgia, we have countless cotton plantations, but we have to buy flour from other places, and no one specializes in growing potatoes. So, Dr. Meade, I am also trying to solve this problem. I found a source from the Far East It is a kind of crop that can grow in water, and the maturity period is only about 120 days. Thankfully, it is much shorter than the half-year maturity period of potatoes, and shorter than wheat. The time for harvesting one season of wheat can be harvested for two In addition, the degree of alcohol brewed from rice is higher than that of beer. At the beginning, it is more than 30 degrees, and it can reach [-] degrees after ten days of storage. The number of times of refining is greatly reduced. However, this crop It is foreign, and it will take time to meet the needs of the war. However, I can assure you that if the production of alcohol comes up, it will be given priority to Atlanta."

After Margot said so, Dr. Meade could not say anything more.

Scarlett suddenly said: "But in the hospital, there are not enough bandages. There is someone dressed so beautifully!"

Suellen interjected: "Scarlett, you are wrong. Bandages are made of cotton, but silk comes in through the blockade. Bandages require labor, but silk does not."
