Cupid Is Coming
The players seat themselves round the room, and one having announced “Cupid is coming,” another questions, “How is he coming?” Whereupon everyone must in turn say “Cupid is coming amblingly” or “amiably,” or use some other adverb beginning with “A.” When every member of the company has mentioned an adverb, the game goes on by using adverbs beginning with “B,” then “C,” and so on until all the letters are used up, or the company prefers to change the game. Anyone failing to supply an adverb must pay a forfeit.
