He gave a swift glance over his shoulder at his companion with a low whistle of astonishment. "Your comrade seems to be choking," said one of the ladies, "I never heard any one cough so. Is he consumptive?" "No no!" said the gypsey. "It is probably a crumb of bread gone the wrong way; or the dust blown about by the dancing. He will recover.
