One of the party leaves the room, and on his return he is asked to
find a word which has been chosen by the other players in his absence;
and in order to help him, another word is mentioned rhyming with the
word to be guessed. Questions may then be asked by the guesser, and
the players must all introduce, as the final word of their answer,
another word rhyming with the word chosen. For instance, suppose the
word "way" is selected. The guesser would then be told that the word
chosen rhymes with "say." He might then ask the first one of the
party: "What do you think of the weather?" and the answer might be:
"We have had a lovely day." The second question might be: "Have you
enjoyed yourself?" and the answer might be: "Yes; I have had lots of
play." The game would proceed in this way until the guesser gave the
correct answer, or one of the party failed to give the proper rhyme,
in which case the latter would then be called upon to take the place
of the guesser.
