My nephew Sundar and I had this very interesting exchange on Facebook. Please click on the image to get an enlarged version.
Sundar is die hard Wodehouse fan as I am too and this quote must be about the best ever from the mouth of Bertie Wooster.
Sundar will now go off on his regular hunt for contented hens. He will be content if he gets even one. His mother and I will be more than just content too.
That reminds me of old ads for Carnation milk — “the milk from contented cows.”

Your comment led me to post a sequel and it has gone viral among my friends and family.
I do get eggs from contented hens, they all have a name and are adored by one and all. The hens that is. Wonderful girls. Wonderful eggs.

You are blessed indeed.
When did the hens feel contented?
Bertie is the best person to answer that.
Being content is a few canyons away from being happy. Were they happy hens? Or as an acquaintance of mine asked the waitress in a US diner “… were they happy lambs…”. The waitress had a blasé though unsurprising response.
Megh, you are now beginning to alarm me. You are starting off on a very philosophical pursuit and that my friend is too early for you.
