The men there live on one side and the women or wives on the other, and when the men so desire, they send and summon their wives, and subsequently part and live separately. If the wives take offence at this and are angry and assail their husbands, when they are summoned to serve and obey them, they are then sent out of the society, and wander through various places, being given a desire to depart and leave their husbands. While they thus wander, they meet at every turn a blockage or obstacle, such as a marshy place, water or a wall, and so on. As this continues, their wish to depart is lessened, and they do this until they get tired and eventually return to their society, and to the lodging where they were formerly. This is how the Dutch women are trained.
