A carriage was purchased, and was with its accompanying expenses added to the small menage; silver plate was also considered a necessity; and, perhaps the thing most distasteful to Shelley's natural tastes, the wet nurse was retained, although Harriet had always appeared to be a strong young woman capable of undertaking her maternal duty.
Not a game of croquet can be begun, nor a blue ribbon worn instead of a pink one, without maternal interference; so that the bloom is rubbed off every enjoyment, and life becomes reduced to a kind of goose-step, with mamma for the drill-sergeant prescribing the inches to be marked.
These are its conclusions: "It is known to all men, and of what we know as men we cannot profess to be ignorant as judges: "That woman's physical structure and the performance of maternal functions place her at a great disadvantage in the battle of life.

It was not, however, the generous warmth of love, but the cold sense of duty, which alone regulated her conduct in reference to them, and she had probably convinced herself that she discharged her maternal obligations with the most exemplary fidelity.
Menstruation is more apt to return prematurely after the birth of the first child than of later ones.
