   When the people of the East have no sons, they frequently
   marry their daughters to their slaves, even when they have
   much property to bestow upon them.  Hassan had been the slave
   of Kamel, his predecessor; but Kamel, according to the custom
   of the country, gave him one of his daughters in marriage, and
   left him at his death one part of his great riches which he
   had amassed in the course of a long and prosperous life
   (Maillet, Lett. xi. p. 118).
