No. 96 Comes, It Comes
A simple guessing-game, familiar to children in New England. One child of the party says to another, “It comes, it comes.” The player addressed replies, “What do you come by?” The first replies by naming the initial letter of some object in the room; if, for instance, it is the table he has in mind, he says, “I come by T.” The rest must now guess what thing, beginning with this letter, is meant.
