In several counties of Scotland this was the name of the first dance after the celebration of marriages. It was performed by the bride and best man and the bridegroom and best maid. The bride’s partner asked what was to be the “sham spring,” and she commonly answered, “Through the world will I gang wi’ the lad that lo’es me,” which, on being communicated to the fiddlers, was struck up, and the dance went on somewhat punctiliously, while the guests looked on in silence, and greeted the close with applause. This dance was common in Forfarshire twenty years ago.—Jamieson’s _Dictionary_. See “Cushion Dance,” “Salmon Fishers.” She Said, and She Said This game requires two confederates; one leaves the room, and the other in the secret asks a player in the room to whisper to him whom she (or he) loved; he then calls in his companion, and the following dialogue is carried on:— “She said, and she said! And what did she say?” “She said that she loved.” “And whom did she love? Suppose she said she loved ——?” “No! she never said that, whatever she said.” An indefinite number of names are mentioned before the right one. When that came, to the surprise of the whisperer, the answer is— “Yes! she said that.” The secret was very simple; the name of a widow or widower known to both players was always given before that whispered.—Cornwall (_Folk-lore Journal_, v. 50). Shepherd and Sheep Children choose, by “counting out,” or otherwise, a Shepherd and a Wolf (or Mother Sheep, and Wolf). The Wolf goes away, and the rest of the players are the Sheep (or Lambs) and stand in a row. The Shepherd counts them—Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, &c. Then— _Shepherd_—“What shall I bring home for you for dinner, Sunday, I’m going to market?” Sunday chooses something—roast veal, apple tart, or anything else that she likes. Then Monday, Tuesday, and the rest choose also. Shepherd goes away, saying— “Mind you are all good children.” The Wolf comes directly the Shepherd goes out of sight, and takes away one of the Sheep. Shepherd comes back and begins to distribute the different things— “Sunday, Monday,——why, where’s Tuesday?” (or Wednesday, as the case may be.) The Children cry in chorus— “Old Wolf came down the chimney and took him (or her) away.” This formula is repeated till all the children (sheep) are stolen. The Shepherd now goes to the Wolf’s house to look for his sheep— _Shepherd_—“Good morning, have you seen my sheep?” _Wolf_—“Yes, they went down Red Lane.” [Shepherd looks down Red Lane.] _Shepherd_—“I’ve been down Red Lane, and they’re not there.” _Wolf_—“I’ve just seen them pass, they’re gone down Green Lane,” &c. These questions and answers continue as long as the children’s fancy holds out; then the Shepherd comes back. _Shepherd_—“I’ve looked everywhere, and can’t find them. I b’lieve you’ve got them? I smell meat; may I go up and taste your soup?”
