"We women have, to tell the truth, an odd fancy in this matter; whatever we can easily get we will cry after and crave all day. Forbid us a thing, and we desire it; press it upon us, and then we will flee. With much reserve we offer our merchandise; a large crowd at the market makes our wares expensive; wares offered at too low a price will be thought to have little value. Every wise women knows this." -The Wife of Bath's Tale
