. Because I moved in with my son Roger Stone.
"I raised four of the kids Roger had by his second wife- she is a medical
doctor and needed a resident grandmother. I got three of them married off, all

married as he is handsome and quite self-centered and believes the old saw about
'Why keep a cow?'
"Then I started taking the vegetable compound, and here I am, fertile again
and ready to raise another family." She smiled and patted her belly. "Let's go
back to bed."

"No, but it's a swell way to pass the time. And sometimes it puts a stop to
recurrent bleeding. Which reminds me- If Gretchen ever shows up, I won't
interfere a second time. I just did not fancy having my great great
granddaughter crowding in on my honeymoon-a honeymoon already crowded by too
many people and too much excitement."
"Gretchen is just a child."
"You think so? She is physically as mature as I was at fourteen... when I
married and got pregnant at once. Virgin at marriage, Richard; happens oftener
here than anywhere else. Mama Mimi was strict and Mama Wyoh was charged with
keeping an eye on me, and I wasn't inclined to stray anyhow, as the Davis family
was socially as high as you could be in Luna City in those days and I
appreciated having been adopted by them
