"We shared our booty; mine I buried, for the present. Houseman had dealings with a gipsy hag, and through her aid removed his share, at once, to London.
They were all attention instantly.

Those boys sat up. I said, “We are going to talk about gipsy life.” I talked to them about the origin of my people.

She had promised to meet me again at Dorotea's, but she didn't come. "And Dorotea began telling me again that she had gone off to Portugal about some gipsy business.
