Two persons go out of the room, and after agreeing together as to what
they shall represent, they come back again, and sit side by side in
front of the company. One of the two takes the part of some well-known
person, and the other represents an object which is closely connected
with that person; for instance, say one represents the governor,
and the other the mayor. When the two return to the room, the other
players take it in turns to ask each of them a question, to which
both the man and the object must reply either "Yes" or "No," until the
right person and the right object have been guessed.
