abstract:Quaker Meeting, or "Quaker's Meeting", is a child's game which is initiated with a rhyme and becomes a sort of quiet game where the participants may not speak, laugh, or smile. The rhyme has many variations, but is similar to the following:
N
a gathering of the Quakers for worship, characterized by periods of silence and by members speaking as moved by the Spirit 贵格会教徒的宗教集会(以长时间静默和教徒似乎受神灵感悟而说话为特点)
All week I'd think of the conversation I'd have with my parents the following Sunday after church, collecting imagined victories, social engagements, popularity, good behavior, although I had not told them I was going to Mass every Sunday or how little I missed the long silence of QuakerMeeting, only that noon was the best time for them to call.
