"A remarkable innovation would be the use of automata,
to play Su Feng's handmaidens.  'A German engineer is
building them,' said Itague.  'they're lovely
creatures: one will even unfasten your robe.  Another
will play a zither--although the music itself comes
from the pit.  But they move so gracefully!  Not like
machines at all." (V., Ch. 14, Sec. i, p. 396)
