Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

[Footnote V.19: _But to play at loggats with them?_] A _loggat_ is a small _log_, or piece of wood; a diminutive from _log_. Hence _loggats_, as the name of an old game among the common people, and one of those forbidden by a statute of the 33rd of Henry VIII. A stake was fixed into the ground, and those who played threw _loggats_ at it.]
