certainly with gender bias, Ricky stipulated that if the child
were a boy, he would get twice the amount of the mother’s
portion. If it were a girl, the mother would get twice the
amount the girl was to receive. We’ll never know what Ricky
was thinking of, for (as fate would have it) he did not return
from the war. Mrs. Ricardo gave birth to twins—a boy and a
girl. How was the money divided?
