The game of Postman is little known by the title we have given it, but
it is very frequently played at. It is a cheap amusement—if done well;
but a good deal may be lost at it, if it is not skilfully managed. It
can be played at by three or four at a time, or even more, and it may
also be indulged in by a single individual. The game consists of giving
a postman's knock at any door, and running away as fast as possible.
