MUTE MUSIC.
Here is an amusing game to play indoors oil wet days.
One player goes out of the room while the rest decide upon a song which all of them know. jSTo\v they call him back and "sing" the first verse of the song to him.
Supposing the song chosen to be "Sing: a Song o' Sixpence," they give him only the first word of every other line, in a whisper, the rest of the words being "sung" without a sound. Ho has, then, only "Sing" and "Four" to go oipon, but if he is good at lipreading ho will easily guess, the rest of the words. If still not quite iuuc, he can ask for the song to be repeated.
