Prince Of Paris

_10 to 30 players._

_Parlor; schoolroom._

A player is chosen as leader; the others are numbered consecutively
from one up, and are all seated.

The leader, standing in front, says, "The Prince of Paris has lost his
hat. Did you find it, Number Four, sir?" whereupon Number Four jumps
to his feet and says


"What, sir! I, sir?"

_Leader._ "Yes, sir! You, sir!"

_No. Four._ "Not I, sir!"

_Leader._ "Who, then, sir?"

_No. Four._ "Number Seven, sir."

Number Seven, as soon as his number is called, must jump at once to
his feet and say


"What, sir! I, sir?"

_Leader._ "Yes, sir! You, sir."

_No. Seven._ "Not I, sir!"

_Leader._ "Who then, sir?"

_No. Seven._ "Number Three, sir!"

Number Three immediately jumps to his feet, and the same dialogue is
repeated. The object of the game is for the leader to try to repeat
the statement, "The Prince of Paris has lost his hat," before the last
player named can jump to his feet and say, "What, sir! I, sir?" If he
succeeds in doing this, he changes places with the player who failed
in promptness, that player becoming leader.

Should any player fail to say "Sir" in the proper place, this also is
a mistake, and the leader may change places with such player.

This game has much sport in it for house parties or other uses.
