of the room and back, distributing the articles to their proper
places. Spell Constantinople.--When the offender begins to spell and reaches C-o-n-s-t-a-n-t-i-, the players cry "no" (the next letters in the word being n-o). Each time the culprit gets to C-o-n-s-t-a-n-t-i-, the players cry "no," and unless he knows the trick he will begin the spelling again and again. Kiss Your own Shadow.--If the culprit is not familiar with this forfeit he will kiss his own shadow on the wall, but realizes how foolish he was when he sees some other victim place himself between the light and a lady and kiss his shadow which then falls on the lady. Sit Upon the Fire.--This forfeit will puzzle the culprit, but may be easily accomplished by writing the word "fire" on a slip of paper and sitting upon it. Ask a question Which cannot be Answered in the Negative.-"What do the letters y-e-s spell?" Kiss a Book Inside and Outside Without Opening the Book.--This apparently impossible feat may be accomplished by kissing the book inside the room and then carrying it outside of the room and kissing it there. Take a Person Upstairs and Bring him Down on a Feather.--This is another apparently impossible feat but of course there is "down on a feather." |
