No. 2.
The hostess should form a ring with herself in the centre, and to make
it more comfortable all should have chairs. Number each person, naming
yourself last. Number one repeats a quotation, Number two tells the
author, Number three gives another quotation, and Number four gives
the author, and so on. The person in charge, who is the one in the
centre of the ring, keeps the game under proper control and time. No
longer than ten seconds should be allowed for each person to respond.
Every wrong guess of an author demands a forfeit. Surely, every one can
give a quotation.
Example:
No. 1, gives,
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard.
No. 2, Mother Goose.
No. 3,
Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower.
No. 4, Longfellow.
No. 5,
Not a lord in all the country
Is so great a lord as he.
No. 6, Tennyson.
