The children now crowd around, pick Peggy up and carry her around, and then lay her flat on the ground as they sing:

I dreamt I saw a ghost last night,
A ghost last night, a ghost last night,

Peggy gets up and chases the children; the first two she catches become Peggy and her Mother for the next game. Boys liked to play somewhat rougher games like "Red lion" (much like "Red Rover, Red Rover"):

Red lion, red lion,
Come out of your den.
Whoever you catches
Will be one of your men.

They also liked shouts of derision, such as:

Tell tale tit
Your tongue should be split
Every litt1e puppy dog
Will have a little bit.

Or:

Liar, liar,
Your face is on fire-
Your nose is as long
As a telephone wire!
