"None of your Rommany chies, young fellow," said the tall girl, looking more menacingly than before and clenching her fist, "you had better be civil, I am none of your chies; and though I keep company with gypsies, or, to speak more proper, half and halfs, I would have you to know that I come of Christian blood and parents, and was born in the great house of Long Melford."
'You would wish to turn the cuckoos into barn-door fowls, wouldn't you? 'Can't say I should, Jasper, whatever some people might wish. 'And the chals and chies into radical weavers and factory wenches; hey, brother? 'Can't say that I should, Jasper.
None of your Rommany chies, young fellow, said the tall girl, looking more menacingly than before, and clenching her fist; 'you had better be civil, I am none of your chies; and though I keep company with gypsies, or, to speak more proper, half-and-halfs, I would have you to know that I come of Christian blood and parents, and was born in the great house of Long Melford.

Why, novels are stuffed with such matters; and then even one of your own songs says so the song which Ursula was singing the other afternoon." "That is somewhat of an old song, brother, and is sung by the chies as a warning at our solemn festivals." "Well! but there's your sister-in-law, Ursula, herself, Jasper." "Ursula, herself, brother?" "You were talking of my having her, Jasper."
An' one day, when she heard me callin' one o' the Romany chies sister, she says, "Is that your sister?" an' when I says, "No; but the Romany chies call each other sister," then says she, pretending not to know all about our Romany ways, "Sinfi, I'm very fond on you, may I call you sister?" An' she had sich ways; an' she's the only Gorgio or Gorgie, 'cept Mrs.
