'Why not, Sinfi? 'Because my mammy used to say it ain't right to make use o' the real dukkerin' for Gorgios, and I've heerd her say that if them as had the real dukkerin' the dukkerin' for the Romanies used it for the Gorgios, or if they turned it into a sport and a plaything, it 'ud leave 'em altogether. 'The Romany Sap?
'If the livin' mullo does come you can't have a love-feast without company, you know, and I sha'n't be far off if you find you want me. She then took up her crwth, went round the llyn, and disappeared through the eastern cleft. In a few minutes I heard her crwth. But the air she played was not the air of the song she called the 'Welsh dukkerin' gillie' which I had heard by Beddgelert.
'An' yit there ain't no dukkerin' dook, an' there ain't no mullos. Among the elaborately-engraved flowers and stars at the top of the mirror was the representation of an angel grasping a musical instrument. 'Look, look! said Sinfi, 'I never know'd afore that angels played the crwth. I wonder whether they can draw a livin' mullo up to the clouds, same as my crwth can draw one to Snowdon?
There is no hope, sir, no help, you have taken drow; shall I tell you your fortune, sir, your dukkerin? God bless you, pretty gentleman, much trouble will you have to suffer, and much water to cross; but never mind, pretty gentleman, you shall be fortunate at the end, and those who hate shall take off their hats to you.
'Hey, bebee! cried the girl; 'what is this? what do you mean? you have blessed the gorgio! 'Blessed him! no, sure; what did I say? Oh, I remember, I'm mad; well, I can't help it, I said what the dukkerin dook told me; woe's me, he'll get up yet. 'Nonsense, bebee! Look at his motions, he's drabbed, spite of dukkerin.
‘Don’t say so, child; he’s sick, ’tis true, but don’t laugh at dukkerin, only folks do that that know no better. I, for one, will never laugh at the dukkerin dook. Sick again; I wish he was gone.’ ‘He’ll soon be gone, bebee; let’s leave him. He’s as good as gone; look there, he’s dead.’ ‘No, he’s not, he’ll get up—I feel it; can’t we hasten him?’
"Just so, Jasper; I see " "Something very much like a cuckoo, brother?" "I see what you are after, Jasper." "You would like to get rid of us, wouldn't you?" "Why no, not exactly." "We are no ornament to the green lanes in spring and summer time, are we, brother? and the voices of our chies, with their cukkerin and dukkerin, don't help to make them pleasant?" "I see what you are at, Jasper."
Brother, I am fond of solitude myself, but not that kind of solitude; I like a quiet heath, where I can pitch my house, but I always like to have a gay stirring place not far off, where the women can pen dukkerin, and I myself can sell or buy a horse, if needful—such a place as the Chong Gav. I never feel so merry as when there, brother, or on the heath above it, where I taught you Rommany.’
I should have mentioned her before, only I wanted to know what you had to say to me; and when we got into discourse, I forgot her. I say, brother, let me tell you your dukkerin, with respect to her, you will never " "I want to hear no dukkerin, Ursula." "Do let me tell you your dukkerin, brother, you will never manage " "I want to hear no dukkerin, Ursula, in connection with Isopel Berners.
"Hey, bebee!" cried the girl; "what is this? what do you mean? you have blessed the gorgio!" "Blessed him! no, sure; what did I say? Oh, I remember, I'm mad; well, I can't help it, I said what the dukkerin dook told me; woe's me; he'll get up yet." "Nonsense, bebee! Look at his motions, he's drabbed, spite of dukkerin."
