One child is selected for Gipsy, one for Mother, and one for Daughter
Sue. The Mother says,—
I charge my daughters every one
To keep good house while I am gone.
You and _you_ (_points_) but specially _you_,
[_Or sometimes_, but specially _Sue_.]
Or else I'll beat you black and blue.
During the Mother's absence, the Gipsy comes in, entices a child away,
and hides her. This process is repeated till all the children are
hidden, when the Mother has to find them.
