No. 66 Quaker, How Is Thee?
New York.
“Quaker, Quaker, how is thee?”
“Very well, I thank thee.”
“How’s thy neighbor, next to thee?”
“I don’t know, but I’ll go see.”
The question is accompanied by a rapid movement of the right hand. The second child in the ring inquires in the same manner of the third; and so all round. Then the same question is asked with a like gesture of the left hand, and, after this has gone round, with both hands, left foot, right foot, both feet, and finally by uniting all the motions at once. “A nice long game,” as our little informant said.
New York, Philadelphia, etc.
