GAMES FOR A PARTY
All the players, except one, stand in a line. The other, who is the
old soldier, then totters up to the end player, saying--
Here comes an old soldier from Botany Bay;
Pray, what have you got to give him to-day?
The player must then say what she will give him, but in doing so must
not use the words "yes," "no," "black," "white" or "scarlet." The old
soldier's object is to try and coax one of these words out of her, and
he may ask any question he likes in order to do so. A mistake usually
means a forfeit.
