BABIES

Sufficient unto the day is one baby. As long as you are in your right mind don't you ever pray for twins. Twins amount to a permanent riot; and there ain't any real difference between triplets and a insurrection.
- The Babies speech 1879

A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother.
- Letter to Annie Webster, 1876
