—Choose One of Three Signs; To do this, one is to stand with their face to the wall, while anyone present makes three signs behind them: of a kiss, of a pinch, and of a box on the ear. They are then asked whether they chooses the first, the second, or the third, not knowing the order in which they have been made, and receive the corresponding action.

—To make a Grecian Statue; To do this, the person must stand upon a chair, and take their pose according to the pleasure of the company. One person may stick the arm out, or bend it into an awkward position; another may do the same by a leg; a third may incline the head backward, with the chin elevated in the air; and so they may proceed, until their figure is sufficiently removed from the "Grecian" to satisfy the party. They are bound to be as plastic as possible while the statue is molded.

— To try the Cold Water Cure; the person is first blindfolded, and then a tumbler filled with cold water, and a teaspoon*, are produced. (This can be substituted with other concoctions of the party's choosing.) Not to be too hard upon them, they are allowed to take a seat. Each member of the company is then privileged to give them a spoonful; but if they can guess at any time the name of the person who is "curing" them, they are at once released from a further infliction of the remedy.

—To kiss "Rabbit Fashion." - This is usually a source of great amusement to the rest of the party. The person has the privilege of choosing anyone present. A piece is broken off a reel of cotton, and they take one end of the piece in their mouth while their partner takes the other in the same way. They then both nibble the cotton until the kiss ensues, as a matter of course. (If the gentleman is sufficiently gallant, he will perform the chief part of the "nibbling" process. The company may exercise their discretion as to the length of the cotton.)

—To sing a Song, or play a Piece of Music; This is given either to elicit the musical capabilities of one who may be shy, or to make an agreeable interlude in the round of other forfeits. If the person called upon can really do neither, another forfeit is allotted to them.

—A person may be called upon to "sit on the Stool of Repentance." They must then sit in the center of the room, while one of the party goes round to inquire, in a whisper, of each person present, what the repentant individual "looks like." The reply may be "wise," "silly," "pitiable," "beautiful,", according to circumstances. The answers are repeated openly to the forfeiter, with the question after each, "Who said that ?" If the right name is guessed, as is often the case, the person who made the particular observation must then sit on the "stool" in turn, and so on until the company are satisfied with the round.
