Becky Moore has eleven children of assorted colors and sizes. She has / never been married, but that is not her fault. She has never stopped / any of the fathers of her children from proposing, so if she has no / father for her children it's not her fault. The men round about are / entirely to blame.
The other mothers of the town are afraid that it is catching. They / won't let their children play with hers.
