Van Corlear stopped occasionally in the villages to eat pumpkin-pies, dance at country frolics, and _bundle_ with the Yankee la.s.ses.

(_Knickerbocker, New York._)

Bundling is said to be practised in Wales. Whatever may have been the custom in former times, I do not think _bundling_ is now practised anywhere in the United States.

Mr. Ma.s.son describes a similar custom in Central Asia: "Many of the Afghan tribes have a custom in wooing similar to what in Wales is known as _bundling-up_, and which they term _namzat baze_. The lover presents himself at the house of his betrothed, with a suitable gift, and in return is allowed to pa.s.s the night with her, on the understanding that innocent endearments are not to be exceeded." (_Journeys in Belochistan, Afghanistan, &c._, vol. iii. p. 287.)--BARTLETT, _Dictionary of Americanisms_.
