Description
Excerpt from The Lady's Oracle: An Elegant Pastime for Social Parties and the Family Circle
When a social party of young people is assembled for an evening's enjoyment, it sometimes happens that conversation flags, and every one feels the necessity of some movement which shall dissipate the awkwardness and restraint of the moment, and afford the means of active and interesting amusement. Some elegant pastime, which affords an opportunity for the flow of remark and the play of fancy, then becomes a desideratum; and it is precisely to supply this desideratum, that the following volume has been compiled. It is a game of questions and answers between a lady and gentleman; and may be carried successively round a whole circle, all giving attention to each question and each answer.
