Sorcery.
This is a somewhat singular trick. One of the party is placed behind a screen in an adjoining room, where he cannot possibly see the players—or may be blindfolded. One of the party must then call out, “Do you know Miss ——?” naming a lady’s name. “Yes.” “Do you know her dress?” “Yes.” “Her wreath, her slippers, her gloves and her bracelets?” “Yes.” “Her handkerchief?” “Yes.” “Her fan?” “Yes.” “Well, then, since you know her dress so well, tell me what article of her costume I am now touching?” If the one behind the screen is acquainted with the trick, he will, of course, answer directly, “her bracelet,” the only article mentioned which has the word “and” before it.
