Sure, the scriptorums are nice, but face it -- your daughters will still drag home a bunch of no-influence, snaggle-toothed, unibrowed losers. Those girls just don't know what's good for Rome.
I don't know about your family trees, but in mine, the daughters are annoyingly identical. Not only identical, but identically ugly. Not much chance of bringing home much more than "a bunch of no-influence, snaggle-toothed, unibrowed losers." Having to wait for these hopless waistrels to get married makes having to peddle your little tarts around Europe in MTW look pretty good. Although, I still find that discomforting, at best.
