When a young man reached the age of twenty or twenty- two years, and a girl the age of seventeen or eighteen, the parents tried to match them, and consulted the soothsayers. Having ascertained the days of the birth of the two young people, the augurs announced whether the desired union would be a happy or an unhappy one. If their prognostications were favorable, "female solici- tors, " chosen from the most respectable of the relatives of the young man, asked the young woman's father for her. Th...ese " solicitors " paid their first visit in the middle of the night; they carried presents to the father and mother, and asked them for their daughter's hand. The first request was always refused, whatever the advan- tages of the projected union and the desire of the parents to conclude it. The latter, as a mat- ter of form, appeared very loath to lose their daughter. Some days afterwards the "solicitors" returned to the charge, supporting their request by prayers and plausible reasons, enumerating the young man's goods, and informing themselves of those of the young woman.
