37165 | And when, at last, she reached her Grandma''s house, Who lay there in the bed, still as a mouse? |
37165 | Are there cobwebs, is there dust, Are there crumbs upon the floor? |
37165 | As the object is handed to the first child, the teacher says: Can you tell the weight of this? |

37165 | MOTHER, MAY WE GO OUT TO PLAY? |
37165 | More difficult questions may be asked as the children get to understand better, such as,''Which is the way to Alexandra Road?'' |
37165 | Oh,''tis broken[ tumbles off], off I go, What else is there yet to see? |
37165 | One of the children carries a cup to the visitor, and hands it to her, asking:-- Will you take a cup of tea? |
37165 | Pray where do they live? |
37165 | Presently one of them-- a boy-- runs up to her and says: Mamma, please, may we ask Nell Day To come and have a game of play? |

37165 | The children then run away, and after a little while return to the mother; she asks:--_ Mother:_ Where have you been? |
37165 | The second bear says the same; and then the little bear takes up his mug and says,''Who has been at my porridge and eaten it all up?'' |
37165 | Then they go to the beds in order, asking one after the other,''Who has been at my bed?'' |
37165 | They proceed in the same way with the stools, the little bear finishing with''Who has been sitting on my stool, and broken it?'' |

8439 | What will you take with you? |
8439 | Where did you get that hat? |
8439 | 2 begins by saying aloud:"I was asked:''Do you like cats?'' |
8439 | 2 says:"I have a basket,"and the next one to him says:"What is in it?" |
8439 | 2 says:"I was asked,''Do you like apples?'' |
8439 | Can you dance? |
8439 | Each question begins with"What would you do if--?" |
8439 | Examples-- Question-- Where did you get that hat? |
8439 | Examples-- Why is Mr.---- like the flatiron building? |
8439 | Examples: What would you do if you fell into a tar barrel? |
8439 | For example:"I am going to America, what shall I do there?" |
8439 | He asks,"What month are you going away in?" |
8439 | He begins by asking"Is it in this room?" |
8439 | He then asks,"What will you wear?" |
8439 | He then repeats the first part and asks the player next to him,"Could he crow?" |
8439 | How shall I meet you? |
8439 | I am bound for Boston, what shall I do there?" |
8439 | My journey takes me to Chicago, what shall I do there?" |
8439 | Question-- Can you dance? |
8439 | Suppose he asks,"Are you fond of books?" |
8439 | The assistant is called in and he questions the leader, saying:"Well, what time is it?" |
8439 | The child touched says:"Jack Frost came this way,"the child to her left says:"What did he do?" |
8439 | The first one begins by whispering some question to his left hand neighbor, such as"Do you like apples?" |
8439 | The last question is"Where do you like it?" |
8439 | The leader answers thus:"Do n''t you know? |
8439 | The leader begins by saying,"I''m going to sail for China next week, I would like to have you go, what will you take?" |
8439 | The leader has a button which she gives to some player, as in"Button, button, who has the button?" |
8439 | The leader, who knows the game, asks each one in turn:"Do you know how to play rabbit?" |
8439 | The next time around the question is"When do you like it?" |
8439 | The next time the leader says"How could he crow?" |
8439 | The one to his left says:"What is in it?" |
8439 | The player thinking they have named him a cat answers,"Yes,"and says,"Am I a cat?" |
8439 | The player to his left says:"A what?" |
8439 | The questions may be,"Do you scratch?" |
8439 | Then she stands in the middle of the circle and says:"Button, button, who has the button?" |
8439 | Then the player to the right of the leader says,"How did she die?" |
8439 | This one sits in front of them and says to each one in turn:"Our cook does n''t like P''s; what can you give her instead?" |
8439 | This one thinks of something and, standing in the middle of the circle, asks each one in turn:"What is my thought like?" |
8439 | Thus: Handsome Mr.----( met) Pretty Miss( at) The Fair( he said) Have you heard the news? |
8439 | WHAT AM I? |
8439 | WHAT IS MY THOUGHT LIKE? |
8439 | WHAT TIME IS IT? |
8439 | WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF--? |

8439 | What would you do if you should meet a footpad? |
8439 | When summoned in, the accomplice asks:"Is it any one in this room?" |
8439 | When the assistant is called in, the leader begins by making many scrolls, etc., on the floor, then says:"Great fun, is n''t it?" |
8439 | When the player is summoned in he asks each one in turn"How do you like it?" |
8439 | Who Am I? |
8439 | Who Are They? |

31186 | May I come with you? |
31186 | No; who''s it by? |
31186 | The Grand Mogul does not like E''s,says one player;"what will you give him for dinner?" |
31186 | The name of the captain? |
31186 | The name of the cargo? |
31186 | The next letter? |
31186 | The place she is bound for? |
31186 | The port she comes from? |
31186 | What else did he write? |
31186 | When do you like it? |
31186 | When will that be? |
31186 | When will you pay me? |
31186 | Wo n''t you have some? |
31186 | Yes, and what has it brought? |
31186 | Yes, and what has it brought? |
31186 | Yes,is the reply,"and what have you bought?" |
31186 | _ C_ome now, was it this book? |
31186 | _ H_ow about this hearth- rug? |
31186 | _ L_ook, was it the armchair? |
31186 | _ O_r the piano? |
31186 | ( What does y- e- s spell?) |
31186 | A horse? |
31186 | A sun flower? |
31186 | A wild rose? |
31186 | About how many petals has a common daisy? |
31186 | And how soon will_ supper_ be ready? |
31186 | And where do you think I found it? |
31186 | Any one can begin by giving either a prophecy or a characteristic-- thus:"Who will inherit a fortune inside a year?" |
31186 | As he is supposed for the time being actually to be the thing thought of, he ought to frame his questions accordingly:"Am I living?" |
31186 | But perhaps he will now venture to ask for a consonant( which is much more risky than a vowel), and will say,"May I have an''s''?" |
31186 | By this time"Cloche"has been spelled, so that the next question is,"Was it the bell?" |
31186 | Do n''t you think so, Miss Pitters?" |
31186 | Each of the party writes at the top of a piece of paper a question of any kind whatever, such as"How old was CÃ ¦ sar when he died?" |
31186 | His first question therefore is,"Is it animal?" |
31186 | His questions must take the form,"How do you like it?" |
31186 | How big do you think a postage- stamp is, in inches-- a five dollar bill? |
31186 | How does a cow lie down? |
31186 | How high from the ground is a street- car?--a railway car? |
31186 | How many holes are there in a high laced shoe-- your own? |
31186 | How many legs has a fly? |
31186 | How many toes has a cat, a dog? |
31186 | How tall do you think a man''s silk hat is, a derby? |
31186 | If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper, where is the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?" |
31186 | If you found yourself in a strange city, where you did n''t know a soul, with no money and nothing you could pawn, what would you do? |
31186 | If you should be in a foreign country, not able to speak the language and wanted to order a room and breakfast, what would you do? |
31186 | If you should look out of your school- room door and see smoke and fire in the hall, what would you do? |
31186 | If you should wake up in the night and see a burglar just entering the room, what would you do? |
31186 | Is it a grocer?" |
31186 | Is it the piano?" |
31186 | Oh, do you know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane? |
31186 | One stands in a corner and the other calls loudly,"Ebenezer, do you hear?" |
31186 | Perhaps he will say,"Miss A, do you think it will rain to- morrow?" |
31186 | Perhaps it will be,"Did you get very wet this evening?" |
31186 | Perhaps this question will be,"I hope your cousin is better?" |
31186 | Pray what shall be done to the owner of this pretty thing?" |
31186 | Pray, who will you gather for nuts in May, on a cold and frosty morning? |
31186 | Pray, who will you send to fetch her away, on a cold and frosty morning? |
31186 | Shall I get a---- instead?" |
31186 | Suppose you was to feel faint-- what then? |
31186 | The Hen: What do you want a bag for? |
31186 | The Hen: What do you want a needle for? |
31186 | The Hen: What do you want a saucepan for? |
31186 | The Hen: What do you want salt for? |
31186 | The Hen: What is the water for? |
31186 | The Hen: Where will you get it? |
31186 | The answer is"Yes, and what has it brought?" |
31186 | The captured player is then asked in a whisper which he will be, oranges or lemons? |
31186 | The duty of the player is to treat them as a riddle, and, asking the question either as"Why is a school- teacher like a pair of skates?" |
31186 | The first one then asks the next,"How shall my lady be dressed for the ball?" |
31186 | The fox replies,"Making a fire"; and the conversation goes on like this:-- The Hen: What for? |
31186 | The next in turn gives a characteristic,"Who has the worst temper?" |
31186 | The next,"_ Wo n''t_ you change the subject,_ please_?" |
31186 | The next,"_ You_, I suppose, agree with_ that_?" |
31186 | The one that acts as schoolmaster asks sharply, beginning at one end,"The name of the letter?" |
31186 | The other row then ask-- Pray, who will you send to fetch her away, fetch her away, fetch her away? |
31186 | The others have to guess what the word is, yet not bluntly, as,"Is it mole?" |
31186 | The player in the middle calls out to the crowd of players,"What''ll you do when the black man comes?" |
31186 | The questions and answers may run something like this:--"Are you feeling pretty well to- day?" |
31186 | The schoolmaster turns to the next player,"the name of the ship?" |
31186 | The secret is that the article touched is always signified by"Is it that?" |
31186 | Then one player starts the game by suggesting some predicament and asking the company"What would you do in such a case?" |
31186 | Then they leave go of each other and stand round the fox, and the leader, the hen, says,"What are you doing, old fox?" |
31186 | They then fall back and the other row advance to them singing in reply-- Pray, who will you gather for nuts in May, nuts in May, nuts in May? |
31186 | Thus in the present instance the first player would announce that the question was,"I hope your cousin is better?" |
31186 | Thus, if it were the bell, he might say,"_ C_ome now, was it the table?" |
31186 | Thus, the original question may be,"Do you like mince_ pies_?" |
31186 | To the next,"When do you like it?" |
31186 | To the next,"Where do you like it?" |
31186 | To the next,"Where do you like it?" |
31186 | To which the blindfolded one replies by asking,"Is it fine or superfine?" |
31186 | WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW? |
31186 | Was it the clock?" |
31186 | What do you think we shall need?" |
31186 | [ Illustration: A PUEBLO SETTLEMENT(_ Frontispiece_)] WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW? |
31186 | _ The second player writes_:--Can you give me any information about suitable songs for our village choir? |
31186 | and"Where do you like it?" |
31186 | but like this:"Is it a little animal that burrows?" |
31186 | meaning, Does it belong to a boy( fine) or a girl( superfine)? |
31186 | or"What is the difference between a school- teacher and a pair of skates?" |
31186 | or"What is your favorite color?" |
31186 | or"Who has the most unselfish disposition?" |
31186 | or"Who will be the first in the room to wear false teeth?" |
6416 | WHAT D''YE BUY? |
6416 | What did she give you for so doing? |
6416 | What did you buy? |
6416 | What did you do with the money? |
6416 | What did you do with them? |
6416 | Where did you go, and what have you been doing all this time? |
