We are to admit a novice into the Marmot Club. The club’s “President” delivers a lofty speech about the club’s moral duties. Finally, they drape a cloak over the novice’s shoulders, lead them among the club members, and declare that they will be accepted once they seize a whistle from someone—one which the members will blow and pass from hand to hand (the whistle, however, hangs at the back, by the collar of the novice’s cloak). Then, whoever is behind the novice blows the dangling whistle, and when the novice turns toward it, the person pretends to pass the whistle to another, while someone else behind them blows it again—this continues as the game goes on.
