It is necessary that this game should be understood by two of the company who mean to take the lead in it, and that an agreement should be made between them as to what course to pursue. One of these leaders goes out of the room while the rest of the company choose a word for him to guess on his return. The agreement made is that the word thought of shall be named immediately after the mention of anything with four legs. Therefore the conversation carried on between the two actors in the ceremony would be something like the following:—

Q. "Was the word thought of a tree?"

A. "No."

Q. "Was it a book?"

A. "No."

Q. "Was it a canary?"

A. "No."

Q. "Was it the Queen?"

A. "No."

Q. "Was it a river?"

A. "No."

Q. "Was it a rabbit?"

A. "No."

Q. "Was it a purse?"
