"These are Callees," said the hag; "one is my daughter and the other is her chabi; sit down, my London Caloro, and let us hear you speak."
Suddenly the two youngest seized his hands, and whilst he struggled to release himself, the old woman exclaimed: "You want tobacco, hijo you come to the Gypsy house to frighten the Callees and the strange Caloro out of their plako truly, hijo, we have none for you, and right sorry I am; we have, however, plenty of the dust a su servicio."
