What it sounds like
If you want to outdo your sister, you need to put in more effort.
What it really means
“You have barely tried to conceive, and you must have sex more often if you want to beat your sister to having a baby.”
Said today
“If you want to beat your sister to having a baby, you’ll have to sleep with your husband more often.”
What was happening
Prudence admits she and Albion have been intimate only once, on their wedding night, and says she would rather be out with him than in bed. Portia turns the sisters’ competition into a humiliating command to try harder to get pregnant.
