Girls sit in a circle, boys—each stands behind his lady, with only one of them having an empty chair in front of him—and he “winks an eye” at one of the seated girls, who quickly moves to sit by him if she is not stopped by her suitor. If the suitor is distracted and fails to stop the girl, then, as the abandoned one, he himself “shoots an eye” at another.
