[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Margo and Suellen breathe new life into Atlanta.

no doubt.

In this small town with a population of only 1, the appearance of any new character is a big deal, not to mention that it is a time of war, and Margot and Suellen's Barton Manor and Rose Manor are the key points in the southern material supply chain. Two dazzling pearls.

At the bazaar, everyone was nodding to the sisters, and Margot and Suellen bowed back from time to time.The elegant and humble behavior undoubtedly added a lot of points to the two of them. All the ladies who greeted them privately said: "Mrs. Charles Hamilton is such a person. I didn't expect her two sisters to be so complete. It's different. Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Kennedy seem to be ladies from the top families in big cities like Savannah and Charleston. They are the daughters of Mrs. O'Hara."

In the past year, the image of Ellen O'Hara has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone in Atlanta thinks that Ellen is a very good wife, even if everyone doesn't think highly of Scarlett, but this It does not hinder their affection for Ellen.

True, people in Atlanta would not call Scarlett a rascal the way the O'Haras' neighbor, Mrs. Tarleton, politely did.Although Melanie defended this sister-in-law very much, Scarlett's behavior and what happened to Charles made Atlanta people very disgusted with Scarlett.Many people are talking behind their backs, thinking that Scarlett is an immoral woman.

It can be said that although Scarlett loves her mother very much, in Atlanta, she is a stain on her mother's innocence.Not only did she implicate her mother Ellen, but she also implicated her three younger sisters.Even though Margot and Suellen provided a lot of supplies for the south, people still kept a wait-and-see attitude towards the two sisters.

The same goes for young Karin.

Since Charles is still alive, neither Melanie nor Scarlett needs to be in mourning, so their stalls are of course in the front, while Margot and Suellen and Karin's stalls are on the other side, not in the corner, of course. .Ellen, of course, came with the younger daughters, and she stayed at Margot and Suellen's stand instead of Scarlett's.

As an enemy, Suellen has been paying attention to Scarlett all the time, seeing Scarlett looking at the people around him boredly, Suellen couldn't help whispering: "I bet, Scarlett There's no charity sale in Te's heart at all, she just wants to dance."

Before Margot could answer, the sisters noticed Ellen's disapproving eyes.

Margot and Suellen made faces at each other, and immediately got to work.

The sugary, homemade rose tea from Margot and Suellen's stall is decidedly more popular than the frills from Scarlett and Melanie's stand.At least Dr. Meade, who came to say hello, was surprised: "My God, I thought only speculators could get sugar."

Yes, there are sugar cane gardens in the south, but no sugar processing factories.Therefore, white sugar in the south is dependent on imports.

Well, of course, it is also true that the sugar processing industry in the north is not as developed as in Europe.

Marge smiled and said: "Yes, sir. Before the war, all the white sugar in Barton Manor was also bought. However, thanks to the various demands made by those black people, Barton Manor also began to produce white sugar, and the quality of the sugar They are also getting higher and higher. Of course, these are the most recent batches produced, and they are the highest quality batches. Want some?"

Dr. Meade said: "Of course. I mean, it will definitely be the most popular item in today's bazaar, I'm sure. Mrs. Clark, you are really amazing."

"Oh, doctor, I would also like to thank you, the Confederate Government, and every gentleman who signed the proposal. If it weren't for the protection you brought to Barton Manor, Barton Manor would not be able to develop in peace."

Dr. Meade said a few more words and said hello to Karin before walking away.

Today, he has a mission.

Today, except for the blacks, almost all the whites in Atlanta are here.But Margot was not happy, and even Suellen was not very interested in this kind of performance. In their stall, only Ellen and Karin were doing their best to take care of the customers.

Because Margot and Suellen knew very well that the end of the South was doomed from the very beginning.As much laughter today, there will be as much sadness in the future, so they are not interested in today's bazaar.If it wasn't for taking care of Ellen and Karin's mood, Margot and Suellen might have stayed at home because they couldn't bear their children.

At this moment, Melanie's firm voice came from the stall next to her.Melanie is a typical southern lady, she seldom speaks loudly, but her loud voice immediately caught the attention of Margot and Suellen.

No one has invaded us now, and no one will invade us in the future," Melanie said calmly, and glanced at the group of militiamen, "the best way to prevent invasion is to go to Virginia and defeat the Yankees there.As for saying the militia stays to keep the niggers from rebelling--that's the stupidest nonsense I've ever heard.Why do our own people rebel?This is nothing more than a sheer excuse made up by cowards.I bet if all the militias from every state were sent to Virginia, we'd have the Yankees out in a month's time.That's it! "

"What's the matter? Melanie!" Scarlett cried, staring at him.

Melanie's gentle black eyes flashed with anger: "My husband is not afraid of going to the front line, and neither is your husband. If I let them stay at home, I would rather they both die in the front line!"

Melanie's short speech drew applause, but Suellen hid aside and whispered to Margot,

"Margo, what do you think of Melanie's words?"

Margot whispered: "Didn't you find out? The biggest lie in Melanie's words is that he called black people his own, but in fact, which black person did you see allowed to participate in such an important ball today? If If the people here really thought of black people as their own, there would be no war at all. Besides, didn't you notice when the county drafted? Even poor whites would be picked. If I ask you, if From the beginning, the South treated all people in the territory equally, and even equipped the blacks with weapons, so that the blacks could go to the battlefield together. Maybe the war would have ended long ago. Where is there such a thing as the port being blocked? Now the battle looks good, in fact It was only because the South launched the attack first and caught the Yankees by surprise. As a result, even if the South attacked first, the Yankees were beaten to the ground in no time. Look at it, the Yankees have already reacted. In the future, the situation in the south will only become more and more severe. And all we can do is to prepare in advance."

Suellen said: "So, we have to bother that Mr. Rhett Butler again?"

Margot said: "Yes. Only he can help us exchange our bonds and banknotes into gold and deposit them in the Bank of England. There is no other way. The men in the south just know that the situation is wrong, but because of For whatever reason, they won't do us any favors, and maybe even get us more doomed Confederate notes and bonds. If it's really for our homeland, I'll never I will be stingy with a few gold coins. But to lose our homeland for the games of those politicians. I will not do such a stupid thing."

Suellen nodded.

The sisters were talking, as his brother-in-law Charles came over from there.Although Scarlett was not in harmony with the two sisters, according to etiquette, Charles had to care about his wife's two sisters.

"Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Kennedy, we haven't seen each other for a year since we parted from Tara Manor at the beginning of May last year. I am very happy to see that the two are still looking good."

Margot and Suellen looked at each other and smiled.

Marge couldn't help but tease this brother-in-law who looked like a big boy even though he was married: "Oh, Charles, last year, you were full of Scarlett, did you really notice me and Suellen? ? You didn't pay attention, so how do you know that Suellen and I are still in style?"

Charles hadn't really grown up yet, so he blushed immediately.

Margot and Suellen laughed even more.
