A gipsy's girl's figure is often as good an index to her mind as her face, and I perceived that she had not taken my greeting favourably; nor would she advance a step to my repeated beckonings; I tried hat, handkerchief, purse, in vain. My driver observed that she was taken with a fit of the obstinacy of 'her lot. He shouted, 'Silver, and then 'Fortune. She stood looking.

Her hair was a black as a gipsy's, and her face as brown as a berry. In summer she liked best to wear a red frock without sleeves, no boots and no stockings, no collar and no bonnet, not even a sun-bonnet. From constant exposure to the sun and rain her arms and legs were as ruddy as her cheeks, and covered with a soft silken down.

His earlier works, 'The Gipsy's Warning' and 'The Brides of Venice, are now forgotten, but 'The Lily of Killarney, which was produced in 1862, is still deservedly popular. It is founded upon Boucicault's famous drama, 'The Colleen Bawn. Hardress Cregan, a young Irish landowner, has married Eily O'Connor, a beautiful peasant girl of Killarney.
