Literature | Questions and Commands A Christmas game, in which the commander bids his subjects to answer a question which is asked. If the subject refuses, or fails to satisfy the commander, he must pay a forfeit or have his face smutted. "While other young ladies in the house are dancing, or playing at questions and commands, she [the devotee] reads aloud in her closet."- The Spectator, No. 354 (Hotspur's Letter), April 16, 1712.
