CHAPTER 1: OBSERVATIONS
1. Women are frivolous, unless they are called Lizzy or Jane.
2. Silliness increases with birth order, the silliest of all being the birth giver.
3. They say that the subject of the previous point is the greatest miracle, but they have never known the burden of a large brood. No; it is peace and quiet that is the true great miracle.
"Silence: the most beautiful voice." - Anon.
