I will not go back; I shall go with the man I love, to be his wife, here, in the Gorgio world. You believed my father when he spoke; well, believe me I speak the truth. It was my father's will that I should be what I am, and do what I am now doing. Nothing can alter me."
Was it through his fiddling that he was going to find a way to deal with this Gorgio, who had come between him and his own? "Only a week ago it came," Ingolby replied. "They actually charged me Customs duty on it. I'd seen it advertised, and I made an offer and got it at last." "You have it here at your house here?" asked old Berry in surprise. "It's the only place I've got.
"He went prowling in Manitou, and in Barbazon's Tavern they struck him down." "Who struck him down?" she asked. It seemed to her that the night-bird sang so loud that she could scarcely hear her own voice. "A drunken Gorgio," he replied. "The horseshoe is for luck all the world over, and it brought its luck to Manitou to-night.
'There ain't a-many Romany chals, she said, 'as du'st marry Sinfi Lovell, even supposing as Sinfi Lovell 'ud marry them, an' a Gorgio she'll never marry an' never can marry.
The Gorgio has bewitched you. He goes down to-night in that tavern there by the hand of a Gorgio, and the Romany has his revenge. Fate is always with me, and I will be the gift of the gods to the woman that takes me. The luck is mine always. It will be always with me. I am poor to-day, I shall be rich to-morrow. I was rich, and I lost it all; and I was poor, and became rich again.

I am aware that the word CAD was applied to the conductor of an omnibus, or to a non-student at Universities, before it became a synonym for vulgar fellow, yet I believe that it was abbreviated from cadger, and that this is simply the Gipsy word Gorgio, which often means a man in the abstract. I have seen this word printed as gorger in English slang.
'No, no, you mustn't do that, said the Gypsy; 'she might take fright and fall and be killed. Besides, said she, 'Winifred Wynne's under a cuss; it's bad luck to follow up anybody under a cuss. 'But you are following her, I said. 'Ah, but that's different. "Gorgio cuss never touched Romany," as my mammy, as had the seein' eye, used to say.
But you must have some tea now, my son good tea." It's muttermengri with you and with us of the German jib." "Ha! ha! but you must have food. You won't go away like a Gorgio without tasting anything?" "I'll eat bread with you, but tea I haven't tasted this five-and-twenty years." "Bread you shall have, rya."
