章节摘录
Geralds sharp blue eyes noticed how efficiently his neighbors houseswere run and with what ease the smooth-haired wives in rustling skirtsmanaged their servants. He had no knowledge of the dawn-till-midnightactivities of these women, chained to supervision of cooking, nursing,sewing and laundering. He only saw the outward results, and those resultsimpressed him. The urgent need of a wife became clear to him one moming when hewas dressing to ride to town for Court Day. Pork brought forth his favoriteruffled shirt, so inexpertly mended by the chambermaid as to be unwearableby anyone except his valet. "Mist Gerald," said Pork, gratefully rolling up the shirt as Geraldfumed, "whut you needs is a wife, and a wife whut has got pleny of houseniggers." Gerald upbraided Pork for his impertinence, but he knew that he wasright. He wanted a wife and he wanted children and, if he did not acquirethem soon, it would be too late. But he was not going to marry just anyone,as Mr. Calvert had done, taking to wife the Yankee governess of hismotherless children. His wife must be a lady and a lady of blood, with asmany airs and graces as Mrs. Wilkes and the ability to manage Tara as wellas Mrs. Wilkes ordered her own domain. But there were two difficulties in the way of marriage into the Countyfamilies. The first was the scarcity of girls of marriageable age. The second,and more serious one, was that Gerald was a "new man," despite his nearlyten years residence, and a foreigner. No one knew anything about hisfamily. While the society of up-country Georgia was not so impregnableas that of the Coast aristocrats, no family wanted a daughter to wed a manabout whose grandfather nothing was known.
