[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Dr. Meade was referring to Mr. Wilkes, Ashley Wilkes' father, John Wilkes.Mr. John Wilkes was no match for an Irish immigrant like Gerald, as an established gentleman.

Yes, Irish immigrants were looked down upon in this day and age too.Their status is just a little bit better than that of black people.Like Gerald, he was the only one in the south who became the owner of a large estate and married a lady from the highest family in Savannah.It might even be said that the O'Haras became members of the upper classes more because of Ellen than because of Gerald.

Therefore, in many cases, even Scarlett slandered his father, calling him a wayward, irresponsible little thing, but throughout Georgia, John Wilkes was a very influential figure .

The Wilkes men were very fond of books and good at thinking.Ashley could see how bad the war was for the South, not to mention his father, Mr. John Wilkes.

This venerable old gentleman has long seen the future of the south, but for the sake of the south, he still sent his son to the battlefield.Similarly, this venerable old gentleman also saw the plight of the O'Hara sisters, so this old gentleman took the initiative to contact his old friends and petitioned the state government for Marge and Suellen, hoping that the state government would consider Regarding the actual situation of Barton Manor and Rose Manor, the priority is to calm people's hearts and settle down those black people.

The venerable old gentleman wrote a petition, and used his influence to get many people to sign it.It is because of this proposal that neither the state government nor the southern government dared to force Margot and Suellen too much, and even passed a bill to let the government pay for the production of Barton Manor and Rose Manor instead of letting these The two manors donated their supplies.

It is because of the existence of this proposal that Margot's Barton Manor and Suellen's Rose Manor have developed rapidly.It is precisely because of the existence of this proposal that the black people feel at ease to work in these two manors, as if they had been reassured, instead of hiding whenever something happens, or even harassing the female relatives of other farmers' families.

Therefore, both Margot and Suellen are very grateful to the venerable old gentleman.Margot has always been reserved, but Suellen is much more straightforward, and she has never been stingy with her praise of John Wilkes.

Seeing that Dr. Meade mentioned John Wilkes, Suellen immediately said: "Yes, Mr. Wilkes, he is a very warm and hospitable neighbor. Speaking of which, my sister Margot can learn from him." It is all thanks to his generosity that I have acquired so much knowledge, and even Margot was able to embark on the road of translation thanks to his guidance. It is a pity that I was too naughty when I was a child, and I couldn’t sit still at all. "

Scarlett snorted when he heard that.

Ellen saw it in her eyes and was angry in her heart.

By this point, Ellen had given up entirely.

As a mother watching her children fight and hurt each other, Ellen is arguably the worst.But now, he could see it.Under normal circumstances, Margot would not argue with Scarlett.However, it is a fact that Scarlett always adds obstacles and troubles to Margot in a subtle way.Just look at Scarlett's performance today. Scarlett is not a good sister at all, so it's no wonder Suellen will always target her.

As for Suellen, her maintenance and dependence on Margo, as well as Karin's demeanor, are telling Suellen how harmonious the two younger daughters are with her second daughter Margot and with their eldest sister Scully. What a disagreement.

Scarlett looked terribly out of place with Magbead in front of her.

Ellen couldn't help but think of what Margot said to him that day: "Mom, Scarlett has never tolerated other women. Except for you, as long as the gender is female, she is her enemy." .even if that person is her youngest sister, Karin."

Melanie, on the other hand, hesitated for a long time before saying, "Mrs. Kennedy, are there really [-] black people in your estate?"

Su Ellen turned her head, saw Melanie, nodded immediately, and said: "Of course. This is still the number before I came to Atlanta. At the beginning, black people came to the manor to beg for food every few days. , asking for work, then people came every day, and then several a day, before I came, there were ten or twenty more people every day. I heard that they all came from the north. Because Jonesboro is next to the railway They walked all the way along the railway. Some people’s feet are rotten because of walking for a long time. It’s really pitiful.”

Suellen has a bad relationship with Scarlett, but Melanie always speaks well of Scarlett, such a woman, logically speaking, Suellen should hate it.But Suellen just couldn't hate Melanie.What's more, Melanie is Ashley's wife and John Wilkes' daughter-in-law.Even for that old gentleman, Suellen couldn't show Melanie any shame.

Under the influence of her sister Marge, after another year, the words of knowing kindness and repayment have been deeply engraved in Suellen's heart.

Hearing what Suellen said, all the ladies in the room, except Scarlett, gasped in amazement.

You know, until today, Atlanta has a population of only 1.The 8000 from the Barton Manor plus the [-] from the Rose Manor, that is [-] people. With so many manors and so many plantations in the South, how can they accommodate so many people?

Even Mrs. Whiting said, "Then Barton and Rosary are the best estates in the state."

Suellen said with a smile: "Before I married Frank, Frank owned more land than any other family in our county, and Barton Manor is also one of the largest manors in Macon. However, you are right. In order to accommodate so many There are a lot of blacks, and they don’t know how much money they spend just to buy land and rations. Many of the crops from the Far East that Margot planned to use to make wine have entered the stomachs of blacks. There are also potatoes. In order to fill their stomachs , but it took us a lot of energy. Fortunately, the neighbors helped us a lot, and Mr. Wilkes asked the state government to sell us a lot of land, which made us survive the difficulty."

Hearing this, all the wives present were very sad.

It is not easy to feed 8000 people.

Not only Melanie, but also several other wives surrounded Suellen asking endlessly.As for the gentlemen, of course it was around Margot.
