The four pints of the compass is all plain sailing to 'im; and his 'airbreadth escapes is too h'awful. I shivers and shudders when I 'ears 'em. 'What is he doing here? 'He's on business; but I don't know what kind. Oh, he knows 'ow to 'old 'is tongue, does Jentham. 'He is a gipsy, he consorts with gipsies, he has money, and no one knows where he comes from, summed up Cargrim.
Feeling conqueror, my wrath was soothed; I bent to have a look at my ruffian, and ask him what cause of complaint gipsies camping on Durstan could find against Riversley. A sharp stroke on the side of my neck sent me across his body. He bit viciously. In pain and desperation I flew at another of the tawny devils. They multiplied.
Both of these have died out, and in the country she is generally hinted at under the veil of "Mistress of the Wood" or "Lady of the Hill." I heard the latter from a Wiltshire shepherd; the former is used in Sussex, in the Cheviots, and in Lincolnshire, and was introduced, I believe, by the Gipsies. Titania was a name of romance, and so was Oberon, that of her husband in romance.
See how ye'll die then lang it was ere he died he strove, and strove sair, and could neither die nor live; but you half the country will see how ye'll grace the woodie." The party set up a hoarse laugh at Meg's prophecy. "What made you come back here, ye auld beldame?" said one of the gipsies; "could ye not have staid where you were, and spaed fortunes to the Cumberland flats?
The Egyptian Gipsies, as Captain Newbold found, are extremely jealous and suspicious of any inquiry into their habits and mode of life, so that he had great difficulty in tracing them to their haunts, and inducing them to unreserved communication. Of the Rhagars there are sixteen thousand.
"For myself I care not, Melchior; the world is before me, and remain with the gipsies without you I will not; but answer me one question what is to become of little Fleta? Is she to remain with the tribe, to which she does not belong, or does she go with you?" Melchior hesitated. "I hardly can answer, but what consequence can the welfare of a soldier's brat be to you?"
You know, sir, that the gipsies, who belong to no particular country, and are always moving about, speak every language, and most of them are quite at home in Portugal, in France, in our Provinces, in Catalonia, or anywhere else. They can even make themselves understood by Moors and English people. Carmen knew Basque tolerably well.
Nothing is more certain than that none of us would have permitted the girl to be thrashed. I doubt if even Rustum Khan, no admirer of gipsies or unveiled women, would have tolerated one blow. But Will was nearest, and he is most amazing quick when his nervous New England temper is aroused.
Just then it happened that there was a great commotion outside one of the public-houses, where a considerable party of gipsies in their little carts had drawn up, and were all engaged in a violent, confused altercation. Probably they, or one of them, had just disposed of a couple of stolen ducks, or a sheepskin, or a few rabbits, and they were quarrelling over the division of the spoil.
Our madame is very strict about books. She says they hinder our working. For, to her thinking ... 'But, I say, Yury Miloslavsky's not equal to Pushkin's Gipsies? Eh? Musa Pavlovna? Tarhov broke in with a smile. 'No, indeed! The Gipsies ... she murmured slowly. 'Oh yes, another thing, Vladimir Nikolaitch; don't come to-morrow ... you know where. 'Why not? 'It's impossible. 'But why?
