Q. “Where did you put what was stolen?”
Z. “Into a mouse-trap.”
And so on with the other players.—Lincoln [generally known] (Miss M. Peacock).
The players choose a name, and another player asks them questions, beginning with, “The Parson’s hen-roost was robbed last night, were you there?” To all questions each player must answer by repeating his own name only: if he forgets and says, “Yes” or “No,” he has to take the questioner’s place.—Haxey, Lincolnshire (Mr. C. C. Bell).
