Answers are indoor games. 1. Hush! Be silent. 2. A beauty around the kitchen stove with the said hot drink. 3. Link the pair doubled. ( I have dominoes for this one!). 4. A lively dance before a wise saying. (Jigsaw?).
Many thanks kettledrum for your very quick answers. I was thinking aga came into the game somewhere but couldn't get the rest, and maybe quoits (indoor) but like whist better.
Thank too cruciverbali for confirmation of jigsaw.
