It is remarkable that the Gipsies in England, or all the world over, have, like the Hindus, a distinctly descriptive expression for every degree of relationship. Thus a pivli beebee in English Gipsy, or pupheri bahim in Hindustani, is a father's sister's daughter. This in English, as in French or German, is simply a cousin.
"I have already disclaimed that, Mr. Rossitur." "Are we, on mature deliberation, considered unworthy of tha honour you so condescendingly awarded to us yesterday?" "My reasons have nothing to do with you, sir, nor with your friend; they are entirely personal to myself." "Mr. Carleton must be aware," said Capt. Beebee, "that his conduct, if unexplained, will bear a very strange construction." Mr.
Yet truth shines by its own light, like the sun. He had not perfectly comprehended her answers, but they struck him as something that deserved to be understood, and he resolved to make the truth of them his own. The rest of the voyage was perfectly quiet. Following the earnest advice of his friend Capt. Beebee, Thorn had given up trying to push Mr.
'What dost thou know of love, stoneheart? She would take thy thanks at least and, by God and the Prophet and Beebee Miriam the mother of thy Prophet, that I will never endure. My lord and my love, let there be no more foolish talk of going away. Where thou art, I am. It is enough. She put an arm round his neck and a hand on his mouth.
"Then," said the Captain, after a puzzled look out to sea, "supposing that my friends disclaim all intention to offend you in that case " "In that case I should be glad, Capt. Beebee, that they had changed their line of tactics there is nothing to change in my own." "Then what are we to understand by this strange refusal of a meeting, Mr. Carleton? what does it mean?"
BEEBEE, which the author of the Slang Dictionary declares means a lady, and is "Anglo-Indian," is in general use among English Gipsies for aunt. It is also a respectful form of address to any middle-aged woman, among friends. CULL or CULLY, meaning a man or boy, in Old English cant, is certainly of Gipsy origin.
One of the not least interesting facts connected with the catastrophe, was that the helmsman was found burnt to a cinder at his post. He had not deserted it even in the last extremity, but grasped with his charred fingers the wheel. His name was Luther Fuller. Honor to his memory! A boy of twelve years of age, named Levi T. Beebee, belonging to Cleveland, Ohio, was among those saved.
Carleton, with the same cool gracefulness with which he had carried on the quarrel, waived his displeasure, and admitted the young gentleman apparently to stand as before in his favour. Their reconciliation was not an hour old when Capt. Beebee joined them. "I am sorry I must trouble you with a word more on this disagreeable subject, Mr.
