Roadside WhistIn the Channel Islands visitors riding about in large wagonettes pass
the time by playing a game called "Roadside Whist." The people on the
left seat of the carriage take the right side of the road, and those
on the right seat take the left. The conductor teaches them the rules
at the beginning of the drive. In our case it is better perhaps to
make them for ourselves, to suit our own particular country. Let us
suppose that--
If you see
A baby in arms you score 1
A baby in a perambulator " 3
A white horse " 5
A ladder against a house " 2
A woman in a white apron " 1
A butcher's cart " 1
A street gate " 2
A postman " 5
Then there should be a few things for which marks have
to be taken off. Let us suppose that--
If you see
A pug dog you lose 2
A piebald horse " 4
An open gate " 2
A flock of sheep " 3
A soldier " 10
No matter what the score is, whichever side sees a cat on
a window-ledge wins the game.
