He was not left quite alone in this deathlike dungeon. Attached to his own large room there was a small closet, in which sat the signing-clerk's clerk, a lad of perhaps seventeen years of age, who spent the greatest part of his time playing tit-tat-to by himself upon official blotting-paper.
The objects may be auctioned off afterwards. On a sheet mark a regular tit-tat-to diagram in black point. Stretch the sheet so it will be smooth on the floor. Divide the company into sides, a captain being appointed for each side. Call one side the crosses and the other side the zeros. When a signal is given, the captain of one side takes his position in any one of the squares of the diagram.
That was easy enough, for home study was never dreamed of by most of them, and leisure hours in school were passed in marking "tit-tat-to" upon slates or eating apples under the friendly shelter of the desks. At the end of the term I received a prize a highly coloured print of "Washington Crossing the Delaware," which Pa and Ma used long after to bring out and exhibit with pride.
"Ah! you can assure me of that?" "Positively." "What are you playing there?" It was Mrs. Packard who spoke. She was pointing at the scribble he was making on the paper. "Tit-tat-to," he smiled, "to amuse the baby." Did she hate to see him so occupied, or was her own restlessness of a nature demanding a like outlet?
The player who is out is given five trials in which to guess; if he does not succeed, he must go out again, but if he has listened attentively to one or two, and has guessed correctly, the player whose shouting gave away the proverb is then sent out and the game continues as before. This game is just for two and is similar to Tit-tat-to. Make a drawing like the illustration and the game is ready.
