The Romany took the card, and turned to leave. He had been dismissed by the swaggering Gorgio, as though he was a servant, and he had not even been asked his name, of so little account was he! He could come and play on the Sarasate to the masterful Gorgio at the hour which the masterful Gorgio fixed think of that!
"Hell, so that's what you've learned in the Gorgio world, is it?" he asked malevolently. "Then I'll teach you what they do in the Romany world; and to-morrow you can put the two together and see what they look like." With a Romany expletive, he flung back the curtain of the tent and passed out into the night.
At the door, however, catching sight of the sly grin on the mulatto servant's face, his rage and understanding returned to him, and he faced the masterful Gorgio once again. "By God, I'll have none of it!" he exclaimed roughly and threw the box of cigars on the floor of the room. Ingolby was not perturbed.
He was going to play to the masterful Gorgio, and he would play as he had never played before. He would pour the soul of his purpose into the music to win back or steal back, the lass sealed to him by the Starzke River. "Kismet!" he said aloud, and he rose from the chair to go to the violin, but as he did so the door opened and Ingolby entered.
"Then you mean to say, Ursula, that no Romany chi, unless compelled by hard necessity, would have anything to do with a gorgio?" "We are not over-fond of gorgios, brother, and we hates basket-makers, and folks that live in caravans." "Well," said I, "suppose a gorgio who is not a basket-maker, a fine, handsome gorgious gentleman, who lives in a fine house "
Well, things went on in this way for some time, when one day my son-in-law brings home a young gorgio of singular and outrageous ugliness, and, without much preamble, says to me and mine, “This is my pal, ain’t he a beauty? fall down and worship him.” “Hold,” said I, “I for one will never consent to such foolishness.”’ ‘That was right, bebee, I think I should have done the same.’
It has been the way of the Romany since the time of Timur Beg and centuries beyond Timur, so it is told. One man and all men must do as the tribe has done since the beginning." The old man pulled at his beard angrily. "You do not talk like a Romany, but like a Gorgio of the schools." The young man's manner became more confident as he replied.
While she was doing this Sinfi and I went to the side of the llyn. 'Sinfi, I know all all you have done for Winnie, all you have done for me. 'You know about me takin' the cuss? she said in astonishment. 'Gorgio cuss can't touch Romany, they say, but it did touch me. I wur very bad, brother. Howsomedever, it's all gone now. But how did you come to know about it?
So much had come since that day, she had travelled so far on the highway of Fate, that she looked back from peak to peak of happening to an almost invisible horizon. So much had occurred and she felt so old this morning; and yet there was in her heart the undefined feeling that she must keep her radiant Spring of life for the blind Gorgio if he needed it-if he needed it.
'Reia Hal Aylwin you knows very well that any man, Gorgio or Romany, as followed Sinfi Lovell when she told him not, 'ud ketch a body-blow as wouldn't leave him three hull ribs, nor a ounce o' wind to bless hisself with. 'But I am now one of the Lovells, and I shall go with you. I am a Romany myself I mean I am becoming more and more of a Romany every day and every hour.
