enjoyed yourself?" and the answer might be: "Yes; I have had lots of
play." The game would proceed in this way until the guesser gave the
correct answer, or one of the party failed to give the proper rhyme,

LOST AND FOUND

A very similar game to "Consequences" is that of "Lost and Found,"
which is played in an exactly similar manner, but the questions are
quite different: (1) Lost, (2) by whom, (3) at what time, (4) where,
(5) found by, (6) in what condition, (7) what time, (8) the reward.

St. Louis, (5) it was found by a policeman, (6) rather the worse for
wear, (7) at dinner-time; (8) the reward was a kiss.
