    It was you that broke the new wood,

    How often should a woman be pregnant? Continually, or hardly ever? Or must there be a certain number of pregnancy anniversaries established by fashion? What do you, at the age of forty-three, have to say on the subject? Is it a fact that the laws of nature, or of the country, or of propriety, have ordained this time of life for sterility?
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
