  It causes a deep dilemma for me: fewer women would mean more renunciation for each one who remains, or keep them all and find ways to increase profits. The former is difficult because letting any of them go is a heartbreaker, the latter is difficult because it might cut into my lucrative tilde and sandwich-making ventures. Grrrrrrr.

You said cut back on the women.  Well, it’s certainly a novel idea, one I never would have thought of on my own, and it actually seems a bit weird to me. I don’t even know where to begin cutting back. Do you really think something so drastic is a viable option?
