The 'door' is closed by '12' again grasping the dress of '10,' and the 'coach' moves off. The 'horses' should not go very quickly, else the 'coach' will probably lose its shape. The 'passengers' walk along with the 'coach' until their destination is reached, when the 'driver' opens the door and allows them to alight.

The above game may be played in conjunction with Nos. [25], [26] and [27].

25. THE STABLE

This game may be played immediately after 'The Coach,' or it may be played alone.

Directions.—The 'stable' is formed by a number of children who stand in rows (see diagram) and join hands.

The 'hostler' (a boy) should stand near the 'stable.' When the 'coach' (Game No. 24, [p. 48]) drives up, he goes to the driver and asks:

Hostler

Shall I take your horses for a rest and feed?
They are tired, I think, sir, and a drink they need.
