"If I live long enough, I'll turn you, my mad wife, into my Romany queen and the blessing of my 'tan'." "Don't mistake what I mean," she urged. "I shall never be ruler of the Romanys. I shall never hear " "You'll hear the bosh played-fiddle, they call it in these heathen places at your second wedding with Jethro Fawe," he rejoined insolently, lighting his cigarette.
