Two of the girls come forward, take up" Jenny," and convey her a short distance off (Plate VIII., Fig. 1), the "mother" and other children following crying, with handkerchiefs up to their eyes. "Jenny" is then placed at full length on the ground as if in a grave; all the children stand round crying; the girl who stands over the grave picks up a handful of earth and sprinkles it over the dead" Jenny' (Plate VIII., Fig. 2), saying:

Jenny Jones" then jumps up and runs after the other children, who flee before her. The one she catches is the Jenny Jones of the next game.
