Even though the main problem of the chapter only exists in Caroline's mind, I liked the chapter. - It is clear that no one has the power to decide whether she will have a boy or a girl (at least at that time), and it is clear that the Previous deaths of male children in the family are a mere coincidence and do not affect the health of a future male. But Caroline creates her own problem in her mind, and that leads her to envy Mrs. Simms for no reason and to mistreat her husband. Finally, I would be a girl. What catches my attention is that a family where there are already three small mouths to support celebrates the arrival of a fourth mouth so much, be it a boy or a girl. A fourth mouth to maintain and it is cause for celebration.-
