There are two basic types of animal in Nature`s Kingdom. The first, like lions & turtles, produce many offspring & simply hope that some will survive. The second, like elephants & people, produce one or two at long intervals & make great efforts to rear them. My mother belonged in a class of her own.

Her English father, who never talks above a whisper due to a youthful injury with a cricket ball, has tucked her & her mother away where the potential for embarrassment can be limited.
