Carol then makes her guests play a game. The shoes of the guests are the sheep and Juanita and Carol are the shepherdesses. The hall is the pen where the sheep are guarded. The guests are the wolves who would try to get the sheep. The lights are turned off and the game begins. Carol turns on the lights after a little while. Most of the guests are found sitting close to the wall. Only Kennicott, Guy Pollock, Haydock, Julius Flickerbaugh and Rita Simons are found in the arena. Everyone is shaken up but they look as if they had enjoyed themselves. Carol then makes them wear the paper costumes for the masquerade. She in the meantime disappears only to reappear within ten minutes dressed regally in trousers and a coat of green brocade edged with gold. She makes the guests hold a mock concert.
