[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

On the way, I met the Tarleton family's carriage, and heard about horses, breeding, army and other issues along the way, and by the way, I also heard Gerald and Mrs. Tarleton about the Wilkes family's blood complain.

However, this does not prevent the world from evaluating the Wilkes family, nor does it hinder the status of Twelve Oaks Manor in Georgia as a whole.

Ashley Wilkes' father, John Wilkes, proprietor of Twelve Oaks, was known throughout the state for his hospitality.Today, too, John Wilkes and his daughter, Honey Wilkes, stand on the steps to greet the guests, while his other daughter, Indy Wilkes, is not here to welcome them. guest.

Indy was the girl Stewart had dated before.The Wilkes girls were not known for their beauty, and Indy, after her mother's death, acted as a hostess, leaving her no time for boyfriends.That was how Stuart Tarleton came into Indy's life, and until last summer he pursued her so passionately that the neighbors thought they were going to get engaged.

Then Scarlett couldn't take it anymore.Her nature does not allow a man to love other women without loving himself.Seeing Indy Wilkes at a speaking party with Stuart was too much for her predatory nature.

So Scarlett deliberately caught Stewart's attention at the political speech in Jonesboro Oaks, and at the same time teased Brent, and captured the two brothers in one go.In this way, one of the two brothers left behind Indy Wilkes, who was eagerly pursuing, and Letty Munroe, a Lovejoy girl who was not very enthusiastically pursuing, and became Scarlett. The minister under the skirt.

Scarlett had done this kind of thing so many times, teasing the boys, making them fall for her, and then flirting with another boy.She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did. The black mother in the family favored Scarlet and covered her up. Even Ellen thought that Scarlet was just a little more lively and enthusiastic, but as twins, As someone who has read the original book again, how could Marge not know Scarlett's true nature?

To be honest, when the news of Indy's dumping spread last year, Margot didn't know how to deal with Indy.Fortunately, the upbringing of the Wilkes family is among the top in the five nearby counties. When Indy faced Scarlett, she was still able to carry the upbringing of a lady, not cold and hot, courteous, not to mention Margo is just a sister who looks like Scarlett but has a completely different temperament?

The carriage had hardly stopped in the drive when Mr. John Wilkes was seen coming down the steps.

Seeing this, Scarlett quickly stretched out his hand.She is the eldest daughter of the O'Hara family, and Mr. John Wilkes helped her out of the carriage every time she came to Twelve Oaks to attend a banquet.

But unexpectedly, after John Wilkes helped her out of the carriage, he didn't let her enter the house arm in arm, but extended his hand to Margot again.

"Oh, Miss Margot, you are still as pretty today."

"Thank you, Mr. Wilkes, you are just as energetic today. Congratulations from the family today."

John Wilkes said: "Miss Marge, do you know that there is a gentleman who came to Twelve Oaks from Macon specially to see you today. I promised to introduce you. "

Margo froze.

She had a special plan today, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

A gentleman who came all the way from Macon just for himself!

Doesn't that mean drowsiness meets the pillow?

She followed John Wilkes up the steps into the big, beautiful house, and in the hallway she saw two people talking.The person facing away from them has thick black hair, is tall, and has a strong physique. Even the loose shirt can't hide his strong muscles.Even with her back to Margo, Margo can still feel the oppressive feeling coming from the other party.

It's a completely different feeling from the boys in the county.From the perspective of people of this era, this man is a bit unseemly strong.Because no matter how much the big manor owners like to hunt and ride horses, it is impossible for them to have such spouting muscles.

The blond-haired young man who was talking to him, about 26 or seven years old, had a pair of gray-blue eyes, holding a glass of wine in his hand, although he was full of books.

The two people who seem to have completely different styles of painting actually have a good conversation at this moment.Just by looking at the eyes of the people around you, you can tell how surprising this picture is.

John Wilkes quickly introduced to the three of them: "This is Mr. George Fitzwilliam Clark, he is from Barton Manor in Macon. This is Mr. Rhett Butler from Jonesboro. This Miss Saron Margaret O'Hara is the translator you are looking for, Mr. Gerald O'Hara."

The golden-brown Mr. Clark was obviously taken aback for a moment, but another one bent down at the right time and kissed his hands.

Rhett Butler is worthy of being a veteran of love|field|, who has seen countless women.When he raised Margot's gloved hand, he could clearly feel that the other's nails were neatly trimmed in the glove.Rhett could feel that the opponent's nails had just covered his fingertips.

It's nothing like the ladies' nails.

Before Rhett's lips left the opponent's little hand, he heard a sigh, and the girl's brisk voice was as clear as a spring in summer: "Ah, the dark face, the unruly eyes, and such oppressive eyes." You remind me, Mr. Butler, of a heroic captain who conquers the sea and laughs loudly in the storm."

John said: "Margo, your vision is indeed very good. This Mr. Butler is a captain. Without them driving the ship to break through the blockade of the Yankees, our cotton would not be able to be shipped to Europe, let alone shipped to Europe." Back to the guns and ammunition."

Margot said: "Ah, what a hero. Then, brave hero, I wonder if you can satisfy the request of a wayward beauty?"

Rhett Butler was taken aback, and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Margot said: "Although Clayton is a small place, there is still a warrior who has experienced a real war. But, from the mouth of this old gentleman, I learned that the war is completely different. Hunger, Sickness and death are nothing like the picnics that boys talk about. Brave hero, can you provide me with some medicine and chocolate? Maybe, there are a lot. If you don't mind, I will have the gold coins sent to you tomorrow .”

Rhett Butler originally had an attitude of flirting with the ladies, but at the end of hearing it, he suddenly realized that the other party was not joking, but serious.

Stuart Tarleton, who happened to pass by here, said, "Oh, Marge, don't you have confidence in us?"

Marge smiled and said: "Although scars are a medal of bravery for men, as friends who grew up together, I still don't want you to get hurt. Therefore, I plan to prepare a medicine box for you as a gift for practicing. County Every lad here who is about to go to war. You wouldn't refuse such a gift, would you?"

The men in the room were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

They regard Margot's behavior as the weakness and kindness of women.Yes, at this time in the South, men generally believed that women were just little things that were weak and needed their protection.So, as a woman, it was natural for Margot to worry about them.

The women didn't have so many taboos. The girls from the Tarleton family who came in behind all ran over briskly and hugged Marg, thanking her good friend Marg for her kindness.
