[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

The Clarks' house the next day was full of people like every time Margot and Suellen came back from the hospital.

Some respectable folks from all over Atlanta came.

Although the living room of the Clark family never piled up any homespun cloth, no one would doubt Margot and Suellen's devotion to the great cause of the South. When every wife greeted Margot and Suellen, she With a smile from the heart.Before Margot and Suellen, only Melanie was fully affirmed by the ladies in the city.

Even Mrs. Merriweather said: "Yes, Margot and Suellen are as good ladies as Melanie, there is no doubt about it. Among the younger ladies , the three of them are undoubtedly the most outstanding."

Mrs. Elsing and Mrs. Whiting also believed that when they were old, Melanie, Margot, and Suellen would take over their sticks and become the new generation of "three pillars" in Atlanta.

Of course, the three pillars of the older generation are not without objections to Melanie, Margot, and Suellen, and they all agree that the new generation of three pillars is too close to speculators , even Melanie, who they watched growing up from a young age, insisted: "...Ashley also said similar things, and it is impossible for me to reject a man who has the same thoughts as Ashley. "

Mrs. Merriwether, Mrs. Elsing, and Mrs. Whiting had no choice but to try to break through from Margot and Suellen.

After hearing their request, Margo shook her head immediately: "I'm afraid not, Mrs. Merryweather, I asked Mr. Butler to help me get supplies. The needles I used came from the Far East, and they are worn out now. Almost there. Even the best jewelers and blacksmiths in town shake their heads when they see my needles. If I keep Mr. Butler out, who will get me needles? Soldiers can't wait .”

Hearing what Margot said, not only the ladies and ladies in the room, but even the men fell silent.

Dr. Meade said: "I don't know if Mrs. Clark has noticed that every time Mr. Butler comes, the price of food will inevitably rise. Some people have calculated that every time he comes, the price of food will increase by five yuan."

Marge shook her head and said, "Doctor, you and I both know that it's not Mr. Butler's fault, but the Yankees' fault. The Yankees blocked the port and are still competing with us for the railway line. If the blacks of each family still If there is any left over, maybe the black people can use rickshaws or simply carry the supplies to Atlanta. But in fact, various plantations bear extremely heavy taxes, men go to the battlefield again, and there are not enough manpower everywhere, it is simply impossible Organize the manpower. Mr. Butler was able to reach Atlanta because we temporarily defeated the Yankees in the south, so Mr. Butler was able to come to Atlanta with supplies. The reason why he stayed in Atlanta was also because the Yankees had once again mastered Ports and rail lines. He has to wait for the next opportunity to break through the blockade."

What Margot said caused the ladies to talk a lot, and even the gentlemen whispered to each other.

Although, many people in the city find Rhett Butler glamorous and not pleasing to the eye, coupled with the shortage of medicines and food, and the skyrocketing supply of various supplies, this makes everyone's anger directed at Rhett Butler.Of course, this also has a lot to do with Rhett Butler's own attitude.

However, this does not mean that no one in Atlanta can think.On the contrary, many people felt that what Margot said made sense.Even Scarlett couldn't help glancing at the twin sister.

In Scarlett's heart, her sister Margot is simply a nerd and a weirdo.Scarlett had always looked down on nerds.But now, Scarlett had to tell herself that what her sister said was very reasonable.

Someone asked Margot: "But, I heard that once Captain Butler crosses the blockade, he can earn twenty times the profit."

Margot said: "That means that under the blockade of the Yankees in the south, almost all the supplies sank in the sea. The sea is not land. Once the ship sinks, it means that the entire ship and the people on board are lost. If Every ship can enter the south safely, so it is not the blockade, but the Atlanta Guards that protect us. I don't know how Captain Butler crossed the blockade, but for me, That was a soldier on another battlefield. Soldiers on other battlefields may be able to retrieve the bones. In his battlefield, if there is an accident, there will be no bones left for the entire ship. So, no matter what happens outside, I will not Will keep Captain Butler out. He's a hero."

Margot's words once again aroused people's whispers.

This time, everyone's discussion was more intense than last time.
