  1. My Favourite Game on a Winter's Night (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    and when tired betakes myself with my companions to playing games, my favorite being "Blind man's Buff. This is usually played by having one child blind-folded who tries to catch one or more of the others.
    The first caught has to undergo his penalty of being blindfolded. This continues for hours and great is the laughter when the unfortunate person falls over everything in his way.
    I think this game mentioned in the most cheerful and most familiar game played by youths in my district.
