The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: "There is something to do about it," thought Scarlett as she ripped
savagely at the seams of her dress to let out the necessary inches.
"I just won't have any more babies."
Of course, Bonnie was pretty and a credit to her and Rhett adored
the child, but she would not have another baby. Just how she would
manage this she did not know, for she couldn't handle Rhett as she
had Frank. Rhett wasn't afraid of her. It would probably be
difficult with Rhett acting so foolishly about Bonnie and probably
wanting a son next year, for all that he said he'd drown any boy
she gave him. Well, she wouldn't give him a boy or girl either.
Three children were enough for any woman to have.
