The fun of laughing at human weaknesses continues, and the subject of this Burlesque is the female mollusc. What is a mollusc? The author says it is a creature that 'spends all its energy and ingenuity in sticking instead of moving... it's no fool... it's often the most artful creature; it wriggles and squirms, and even fights from the instinct not to advance.' Chivalry prevents our adding any further explanation to the author's words.
