Schadchen

A Schadchen had brought an assistant with him to the discussion about the proposed bride, to bear out what he had to say. "She is straight as a pine tree," said the Schadchen. - "As a pine tree," repeated the echo. -"And she has eyes that ought to be seen!" - "What eyes she has!" confirmed the echo. - "And she is better educated than anyone!" - "What an education!" - "It's true there 's one thing," admitted the broker, "she has a small hump." - "And what a hump!" The echo confirmed once more.
