"Perhaps; but you are of the Gorgios, and I am a Rommany Chal. Tawno Chikno take care of Jasper Petulengro!" "Is that your name?" "Don't you like it?" "Very much, I never heard a sweeter; it is something like what you call me." "The horse-shoe master and the snake-fellow, I am the first." "Who gave you that name?" "Ask Pharaoh." "I would, if he were here, but I do not see him." "I am Pharaoh."
"Did Pharaoh make horse-shoes?" "The first who ever did, brother." "Pharaoh lived in Egypt." "So did we once, brother." "And you left it?" "My fathers did, brother." "And why did they come here?" "They had their reasons, brother." "And you are not English?" "We are not Gorgios." "And you have a language of your own?" "Avali." "This is wonderful."
'This is the place, said the Gypsy; 'it used to be called in old times the haunted llyn, because when you sings the Welsh dukkerin gillie here or plays it on a crwth, the Knockers answers it. I dare say you've heard o' what the Gorgios call the triple echo o' Llyn Ddu'r Arddu.
It is my grandbebee’s cake which was sent because you were kind to the poor person’s child; eat, brother, eat, and we shall be like the children in the wood that the gorgios speak of.’ ‘The children in the wood had nothing to eat.’ ‘Yes, they had hips and haws; we have better. Eat, brother.’ ‘See, sister, I do,’ and I ate a piece of the cake.
"I'm of the gentle Romany." "A gipsy!" "So you Gorgios call us!" replied the girl, and shut the door with what seemed to be unnecessary violence. Lucian went off with the cloak over his arm, somewhat discomposed by this last piece of information. "A gipsy!" he repeated. "Humph! Can good come out of Nazareth? I don't trust that girl much.

Under its heels shall you lie, ye Romans, till time again and time once more be accomplished. I go on my own," she turned and walked to the door of her tent. "Alone I go to cheat the Gentiles and win my food. Take your new queen, and with her sorrow and starvation, prison, and the kicks of the Gorgios. So it is, as I have said, and so it shall be."
I know the place well, brother, where the plastramengro placed himself behind a thick holly tree, at the end of a lane, where a gate leads into various fields, through which there is a path for carts and horses. The lane is called the dark lane by the Gorgios, being much shaded by trees.
'Your brother would be a great gain to my picture. Sinfi then came to me, and said that the painter wanted me to sit to him. 'But, said I in an undertone, 'the Gorgios will certainly find out that I am no Romany. 'Not they, said Sinfi, 'the Gorgios is sich fools. Why, bless you, a Gorgio ain't got eves and ears like a Romany.
"Wasn't it, child? Where was I? At the fan and sacrament; with a heavy heart I put seven score miles between us, came back to the hairy ones, and found them over-given to gorgious companions; said I, 'foolish manners is catching, all this comes of that there gorgio'. Answers the child Leonora, 'Take comfort, bebee, I hate the gorgios as much as you do'."
