It was a game called Yes and No, in which Scrooge's
nephew had to think of something, and the others had to
ask questions to discover what it was. The only possible
answers were Yes or No. Scrooge heard that Fred was
thinking of a living animal, a wild animal, sometimes an
angry animal, which lived in London and walked in the streets. Every time he answered a question, Fred could not
stop himself laughing. At last, his wife's dark, pretty sister
started laughing too.
'I know what it is, Fred! I know!' she cried out. 'It's
your uncle Scro-o-o-o-oge!'
