"Rogue, what have you to say of such things?" he growled. "I am the head of all. I pass the word, and things are so and so. By long and by last, if I pass the word that you shall sleep the sleep, it will be so, my Romany 'chal'." His daughter stretched out her hand to stop further speech from her father "Hush!" she said maliciously, "he has come a long way for naught. It will be longer going back.
When I fought Staffordshire Dick, t'other side of London, I was alone, brother. Not a Rommany chal to back me, and he had all his brother pals about him; but they gave me fair play, brother; and I beat Staffordshire Dick, which I couldn't have done had they put one finger on his side the scale; for he was as good a man as myself, or nearly so.
But you must have heard of it; every one has heard of it; every one has heard of the fight between the Bow street engro and the Rommany chal." "I never heard of it till now." "All England rung of it, brother. There never was a better match than between those two.
I thank you kindly, brother.’ Starting up, she flung the bulrush aside which she had hitherto held in her hand, and, seizing the kettle, she looked at it for a moment, and then began a kind of dance, flourishing the kettle over her head the while, and singing— ‘The Rommany chi And the Rommany chal Shall jaw tasaulor To drab the bawlor, And dook the gry Of the farming rye.
Down in Johnstown proper they think "Chal" Dick is either drunk or crazy. Two newspaper men bunked with him last night and found he was not afflicted in either sense.

My house was on Somerset street.
The Rommany chi And the Rommany chal, Shall jaw tasaulor To drab the bawlor, And dook the gry Of the farming rye. A very pretty song, thought I, falling again hard to work upon my kettle; a very pretty song, which bodes the farmers much good. Let them look to their cattle. "All alone here, brother?" said a voice close by me, in sharp but not disagreeable tones.
Now I come to think on't, it's mose likely Mr. Cyril as she's a-goin' to marry, for I know it ain't no Romany chal. It can't be the funny un, added she, laughing. 'But where's the wedding to take place? 'I can't say as I knows ezackly, said Rhona; 'but I thinks it's by Knockers' Llyn if it ain't on the top o' Snowdon. 'Good heavens, girl! I said.

Oh, tiny Jesus was a Romany chal, or may I die for it! 'Do you know who killed him? asked Tinkler, abruptly. 'No, lovey. 'Tweren't one of us, tho' you puts allays the wust on our backs. Job! dog do niver eat dog, as I knows, dearie. 'He left your camp at nine o'clock? 'Thereabouts, my lamb; jes' arter nine! 'Was he sober or drunk?
‘Think so!—There’s night and day, brother, both sweet things; sun, moon, and stars, brother, all sweet things; there’s likewise a wind on the heath.
