I commit no crime in calling myself by a Gorgio name and in accumulating a fortune. You have no hold over me." The man's look was so threatening that Silver winced. "I don't hint at any hold over you," he observed mildly. "I am bound to you both by gratitude and self-interest." "Aha. That last is better. It is just as well that we have come to this understanding.
A moment afterwards his voice came back exultingly, through the morning air: "But a Gorgio sleeps 'neath the greenwood tree He'll broach my tan no more: And my love, she sleeps afar from me But near to the churchyard door." As the old man turned heavily towards the house, and opened the outer door, Fleda met him.
Wilderspin was on the point of engaging me, when the other man, without troubling to look at me again, said: 'He's no more a Romany than I am. 'Ain't a Romany? said Sinfi. 'Who says my brother ain't a Romany? Where did you ever see a Gorgio with a skin like that? she said, triumphantly pulling up my sleeve and exposing one of my wrists.
Aylwin, and will understand me when I say that artists figure-painters, I mean, are divided into two classes those whose natural impulse is to paint men, and those who are sent into the world expressly to paint women. 'Is not modesty a Gorgio virtue, Lady Sinfi? murmured Cyril. 'Nothin' like a painter for thinkin' strong beer of hisself, she replied; 'but I likes him oh, I likes him.
Don't you hear my heart beating? Every throb says, 'Fleda Fleda Fleda, come to me. I have loved you since you were three. I want you now. We can be happy. Every night we will make a new home. The world will be ours; the best that is in it will come to us. We will tap the trees of happiness they're hid from the Gorgio world. You and I will know where to find them.
Twice he essayed to speak, but faltered. At last, with an air, he said: "For seventeen years I have kept the faith. I was sealed to you, and I hold by the sealing. Wherever you went, it was known to me. In my thoughts I followed. I read the Gorgio books; I made ready for this day. I saw you as you were that day by Starzke, like the young bird in the nest; and the thought of it was with me always.
"Suppose we do, brother." "Not whilst I am here," said the woman, flinging her knitting down, and starting upon her feet; "not whilst I am here shall this Gorgio learn Rommany. A pretty manoeuvre, truly; and what would be the end of it? I goes to the farming ker with my sister to tell a fortune, and earn a few sixpences for the chabes.

He made a motion of passion and despair. His voice was almost shrill when he spoke. "Till that divorce comes, the daughter of the Ry of Rys is mine!" he cried sharply. "I will not give my wife to a Gorgio thief.
The princess had been certified, by the Romany rites, to old John's eldest son, George, for she had flatly refused to be married according to the gorgio ways. Not having been married a full year, he was not yet entitled to carry the heavy, silver-topped stick which is the badge of the married man, nor could he demand a place in his wife's tent or wagon unless she expressly invited him.
'Reia, said Sinfi, with much solemnity, 'the world's full o' vittles; what's wanted is jist a hand as can put the vittles and the mouths where they ought to be cluss togither. That's what the hungry Romany says when he snares a hare or a rabbit. We walked on. After a while Sinfi said: 'A Romany knows more o' these here kinds o' things, reia, than a Gorgio does.
