'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.
'You mean the Welsh dukkerin' gillie, said Sinfi, looking, with an expression that might have been either alarm or suspicion, into my face. 'Yes. 'You've been a-thinkin' all this while, brother, that I don't know why you asked me about Winnie's favourite places on Snowdon, and why you wanted me to take my crwth to the camp.
"Well I sees strange things among the Romans; there's the dukkerin and dukkeripen, an' the Walkers o' the Heath. They're a strange folk, the Romans 'specially old Azor!" "But you are not afraid never have been?" "No," she answered, shaking her head slowly, "I've never been afeard of anything or any one yet except old Azor."
But I've been a-thinkin' about it, and I know now why you did, and I know why you wants me to play the Welsh dukkerin' gillie here. It's because you heerd me say that if I were to play that dukkerin' gillie on Snowdon in the places she was fond on, I could tell for sartin whether Winnie wur alive or dead. If she wur alive her livin' mullo 'ud follow the crwth. But I ain't a-goin' to do it.
‘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.’
At the end she dropped his hand and returned back to her chair chuckling. "It's a sad dukkerin for the foxy lady," said Gentilla, grinning like the witch she was. "Hanged she will be, and rightful it is to be so!" "I agree with you," replied Lambert relentlessly. "Your evidence and that of Silver can hang her, certainly.
"I won't hear my husband abused, brother; so you had better say no more." "Why, is he not the Lazarus of the gypsies? has he a penny of his own, Ursula?" "Then the more his want, brother, of a clever chi like me to take care of him and his childer. I tell you what, brother, I will chore, if necessary, and tell dukkerin for Sylvester, if even so heavy as scarcely to be able to stand.
"Oh, my sweet gentleman, it ain't for the likes of me to say things to the likes of you," said Mother Cockleshell, getting out of her difficulty very cleverly, "but the dear lady wants her fortune told, don't she?" "Why don't you say dukkerin?" "I don't like them wicked words, sir," answered Mother Cockleshell piously. "Wicked words," muttered Chaldea tossing her black locks.
No, she'd take to Romanies in general, and she'd go hangin' about the different camps, and she'd soon be snapped up, being so comely, and they'd make a lot o' money out on her jist havin' her with 'em for the "dukkerin'." 'I don't understand you, I said.
