Of course I mean when you do anythink wrong accordin' to us Romanies. I don't mean wrong accordin' to the Gorgios: they're two very different kinds o' wrongs. 'I don't see the difference, said I; 'but tell me more about Winifred. 'You don't see the difference? said Sinfi. 'Well then, I do. It's wrong to tell a lie to a Romany, ain't it? But is it wrong to tell a lie to a Gorgio?
The very fact that they hide as much as they can of their Gipsy life and nature from the Gorgios would of itself indicate the depths of singularity concealed beneath their apparent life and this reminds me of incidents in a Sunday which I once passed beneath a Gipsy roof.
"Jemmy Abershaw," said Mr. Petulengro; "one of those whom we call Boro- drom-engroes, and the gorgios highwaymen. I once heard a rye say that the life of that man would fetch much money; so come to the other side of the hill, and write the lil in the tent of Jasper and his wife Pakomovna." At first I felt inclined to accept the invitation of Mr.
The sharp passion which moved her now as she stood before Jethro Fawe would not have been so acute yesterday; but to-day she had lain in a Gorgio's arms to-day; and though he was nothing to her, he was still a Gorgio of Gorgios; and this man before her her husband was at best but a man of the hedges and the byre and the clay-pit, the quarry and the wood; a nomad with no home, nothing that belonged to what she was now a part of organized, collective existence, the life of the house-dweller, not the life of the 'tan', the 'koppa', and the 'vellgouris' the tent, the blanket, and the fair.
It may be remarked as curious that the word meraben at the end of the letter, meaning death, is used by English Gipsies to signify life as well. "Dick at the gorgios, The gorgios round mandy; Trying to take my meripon, My meripon away." The third letter is also in the German-Gipsy dialect, and requires a little explanation.
She will be able to talk a little. It is really nothing, but I thought you might like to see it. It is seldom that gorgios are allowed to see a thing like that. "Please say to your father that I will spend the evening as usual with him. My people will pass on." From The American Magazine It was a plain case of affinity between Davy Allen and Old Man Thornycroft's hound dog Buck.
You see, that in those days Gipsies were very scarce, and people were very much astonished at rat-drawing, and so they made a queer story of it." "But how about the children?" "Well," I answered; "I suppose you have heard occasionally that Gipsies used to chore Gorgios' chavis steal people's children?" Very grave indeed was the assent yielded to this explanation.
She loves you so, that she could have wished to have seen you eat it all; good-bye, brother, I daresay when I am gone you will eat some more of it, and if you don’t, I daresay you have eaten enough to—to—show your love for us. After all it was a poor person’s cake, a Rommany manricli, and all you gorgios are somewhat gorgious. Farewell, brother, pretty brother, grey-haired brother. Come, juggal.’
"They know they can trust you, Ursula?" "Ay, ay, brother; and, what's more, I knows I can trust myself." "So you would merely go out to make a fool of him, Ursula?" "Merely go out to make a fool of him, brother, I assure you." "But such proceedings really have an odd look, Ursula." "Amongst gorgios, very so, brother."
We'll take our food here, and go further on by-and-by, and then go by night, so that the Gorgios won't see us. I know a fine field for the horses; we'll stop there in the morning, before they find we have been there, and go on the road and eat our food."
