[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Hamilton home.

Scarlett was sitting in the living room, and anyone could see the uneasiness and anxiety on her face.

In contrast, Melanie seemed too laid back.Not only did Melanie play with Scarlett's son Weibo all the time, after putting Weibo to sleep, Melanie also took out a needle and thread.

In contrast, Scarlett appears to be a stranger.

Everyone can see that Scarlett is now a volcano on the verge of eruption, and it may erupt at any time, and by the way, it will blow up the people around it.

With Scarlett like this, Miss Pitt didn't dare to talk to her at all, so she could only chat with Melanie.Miss Pitt would never know, and her behavior would only annoy Scarlet even more.

Because it reminded her of her sister, Margo.

Margo was like that, always ignoring him.

Yes, in the eyes of others, Margot is very tolerant of the twin sister, but only Scarlet knows that Margot is actually ignoring her.Never got angry at her, yelled at her, and never cared about his snatching, as if his actions didn't matter to him.

Scarlet hates Margot.

In the mother's eyes, Scarlett is just a bit lively, but in fact, the sisters all know what a domineering person she is.And Scarlett would never think that she was wrong for robbing her sisters and destroying Margot's book.She apologized only because she was afraid that her mother would hate her, but never really realized that she was wrong.

This is Scarlett.

Why does Scarlet hate Suellen?

The answer is simple, this younger sister will compete with herself for the love of her parents, for attention, for clothes, hats, a handkerchief, or even a flower.

That's true for Suellen, let alone Margot.

Margo was the same age as Scarlett.

In fact, Scarlett had snatched Margot's things as a child.She and Margot are twins, and when the family prepares things for them, they are always in duplicate.The clothes are the same, the hats are the same, and the real and fake flowers for decoration are the same.

The adults were happy to dress the twins up in exactly the same way, and the neighbors were curious about the twins who looked identical except for their eyes.

When Scarlett got a little older, she began to hate being exactly like Margot.Scarlett was always able to get her father to buy her something special, a little toy, a knick-knack, for example.And only her father was allowed to give her, and he was not allowed to prepare the same small gift for Margot.If the parents had given Margot something extra, Scarlett would have tried to get it back, and if she couldn't get it, she would have destroyed it.

Scarlett had asked herself if that was why Margot was such a bookworm.

However, she never apologized, and if her parents gave Marge something extra next time, she would still grab or destroy it.

This kind of behavior did not get better until the two sisters separated and had separate rooms.However, at that time Margo had become a person Scarlett didn't understand at all.

Margot would go to Wilkes' house to borrow books.

Margot would stay up all night just to get the books transcribed.

Margo would hold the book and stay there all day.

God knows what charm those books have!

But Scarlett couldn't bully Margot, and her methods were completely useless to Margot.She could only bully Suellen.Because at that time, Karin was already born, and the spirit and energy of the mother and black mother were all attracted by the baby, and they didn't have so much energy to take care of Suellen as before.

However, even so, Scarlett still only succeeded twice.Because Margo noticed the situation very quickly and took the initiative to take care of Suellen.

This annoyed Scarlet even more.Because Margot spent a lot of energy on Suellen, but in contrast, Margot didn't look at him much at all.

Next, the mother becomes pregnant again and loses the baby again.Margot then took over Tara Manor.

It's not that Scarlett didn't mention to his father that he would help too.But she soon discovered that there was nothing she could do.Because Margot always ordered the black slaves in the family in front of her father, so that she had no chance at all.

Later, Margot became a little translator in the mouth of the neighbors.

Scarlett had no impression of the profession of a translator at all and didn't know what this profession did, but she soon discovered that her pocket money was no longer as good as Margot's.Yes, every girl in the O'Hara family gets pocket money from her parents every month, which is not much, not more than ten dollars a month each.But Scarlett had a way of getting extra pocket money from his father, maybe a dollar, maybe two dollars, maybe five dollars or more if he was lucky.But how much does Margo earn on translation?Thirty dollars is the minimum, and over a hundred dollars abounds.

That's why Margo has so much money to buy extra clothes for herself.Not to mention separate study and extra maid.

But there was nothing Scarlet could do.

Because what Marge said is right, there are more and more books in her hands, and she needs a separate room for collection.The same goes for the maid. Margot hopes that her mother can have a good rest, and she can leave the needlework to the maid.

Regarding the former, Scarlett objected, but I couldn't change my parents' mind, and Scarlett was even less likely to object to the latter.

She loves mom.

Scarlet hates Margot.In the past, everyone praised her, but since that year, she can always hear praises for Margot from other people's mouths.Although people around always praised Scarlett for being beautiful, and when they mentioned Margot, they always said that Margot was very smart and read a lot of books, but Scarlett was not happy.Although she would comfort herself by telling herself that Margot was a nerd, Scarlett just didn't like being praised for being smart because it made her feel like a fool.

Sitting in the living room of the Hamiltons' red-brick home, Scarlett was restless.

She wondered what was going on in the living room of the Clark family next door.In fact, if Ashley hadn't shook her head, she would have broken into Clark's house a long time ago, why would she be here in a daze?

Scarlett's anger grew.

At this moment, there was a voice at the door, and Scarlet jumped up immediately.She rushed to the door ahead of Melanie, where Ashley and Charles were saying goodbye to Henry Hamilton.

Scarlett didn't see Charles at all.She said loudly: "Ashley, what happened? You look very bad!" If it wasn't for worrying about Melanie behind him, if it wasn't for not wanting others to see the jokes about the O'Hara family, Sculley Te had asked Ashley a long time ago if he had been to Margot...

Melanie's weak but firm voice sounded behind Scarlett: "Ashley, what happened? Is it the South..."

Ashley said, "It's okay, Melanie, let's go in and talk."

The faces of the two men were very ugly, and even Scarlett did not dare to stop them.

After entering the room, Ashley asked Miss Pitt to go back to the room to rest.

When there were no other people in the living room, Scarlet immediately lowered his face: "Ashley, I don't want to go back to the room. Tell me, what happened? Since, you just came back from Clark's house and my sister's house. "

Silence spread in the living room, and even Melanie noticed something was wrong.

After a long time, Ashley sighed and said: "This war is no longer just a matter of the United States."

Scarlett was puzzled.

She is just a southern girl, and her words and deeds may not conform to the southern rules, but she is similar to those typical southern ladies in terms of knowledge and education.She is neither a thinker nor a philosopher.Her understanding of this world is also limited by the requirements of this world for women.

It's just that she is more straightforward and assertive than ordinary girls.However, this kind of straightforwardness and assertiveness are also within a certain range.

Rhett's evaluation of Scarlett is very accurate, she is just a young lady from an upper-class family in the south who has reached the rebellious period, but this young lady is more frank and courageous, unlike Margot, who has already Women who surpassed, no, it should be said that Margot not only left behind the women of this era, but also most of the men were left behind by Margot.

On the contrary, Melanie, because she loves books like Ashley, because she is as good at thinking as Ashley, and because she often corresponds with Ashley, Melanie has a deeper understanding of the world.

Melanie held Ashley's hand firmly, and said worriedly: "Honey, what happened?"

Ashley said: "Rett brought news from the north that Britain is using this war for raw materials and markets."

Melanie's heart skipped a beat, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Scarlett also noticed something was wrong: "What do you mean? Tell me! I need to know!"

Ashley lowered his head and said nothing.

Charles had to try to reassure his wife: "Scarlett, let's go back."

"No, tell me! I want to know!" Scarlett's green eyes glowed like an angry cat: "Tell me, I want to be honest! Since, , is a friend I grew up with..."

Charles sighed and said, "Neither the Yankees nor us are the final winners of this war. The UK, the UK is the final beneficiary."

"What, what?" Scarlett stammered, "What did you say? England? What does this have to do with England?!"

Ashley said, "Scarlett, stop asking."

The pain in his voice caught Scarlett's next words in his throat.

Scarlett felt his head throbbing.

But there is no way.She couldn't ask any questions.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I must ask Margot. She must know. She must tell me what it is all about."
