Playing Gooseberry.

Playing gooseberry or "to play goose
berry" is common enough in connection
with sweethearting. A lass arranges q
walk with lad, but for some reason
she does not care to go alone, SO she
takes q friend. another girl, and the
friend "plays gooseberry. Sometimes
the girl who is invited to share the
walk refuses saying, NAY, I'm not
going to play gooseberry." The girls
speak of the lad in this connection as
"gooseberry fool. By the way, green
gooseberries stewed with little water,
mashed, and sugar added, constitute
"gooseberry fool. Notes and Queries
