William Henry Barneby (1843-1914) had the usual problem of Westerners in the Far East: "On sitting down to dinner I had been horrified to see that we were all expected to use chop-sticks. I made valiant attempt to do duty with mine, but it was my first essay, and I failed, and therefore had to use a knife and fork which were fetched for me" (p. 181).
