A girl named Iffy longs for pretty clothes and, with Grace as her maid, dons a white silk frock, satin shoes, and lace, then faces mixed reactions from the boys who admire her. The scene shifts to a children’s game where roles of Policeman and Thief rotate as players chase and swap positions.
A dreamer sails a quiet blue lake under starry night toward an exquisite white palace. The palace with dome and minaret dissolves like bubbles as dawn nears, leaving the promise of return to cross the lake again in sleep.
Players enjoy an active game session in chilly weather. The Policeman and the Thief rounds provide warmup and lively movement for all participants.
Puzzle hints spell a city name known to Australians. The riddle lists eight letters derived from clues in words such as come sang can bad life Rob Keith happy, forming the city.
