<JOURNEY TO CHINA>: (7) CHINESE MARRIAGE: The angler's skill in setting his lines, the hunter's artfulness in taking game, the horse-dealer's tricks to hide the redhibitory defects of his horse, nothing is comparable to the skill, the artfulness, the trick which a mother deploys in order to marry her daughter... the poor Chinese men mistrust the lures, of honey and of glue, to no avail, someone always falls into the maternal snare.
