Note 10 — I.—NURSERY ANTIQUITIES.

The following nursery game, played by two girls, one personating the mistress and the other a servant was obtained from Yorkshire, and may be interpreted as a dialogue between a lady and her Jacobite maid: Lady. Jenny, come here! So I hear you have been to see that man. Maid. What man, madam? Lady. Why, the handsome man. Maid. Why, madam, as I was a-passing by, Thinking no harm, no not in the least, not I, I did go in, But had no ill intention in the thing, For, as folks say, a cat may look at a king. Lady. A king do you call him? You rebellious slut! Maid. I did not call him so, dear lady, but— Lady. But me none of your buttings, for not another day Shall any rebel in my service stay; I owe you twenty shillings—there's a guinea! Go, pack your clothes, and get about your business, Jenny.
