"And you just pretend to be poor for the novelty of the experience?" asked Nancy. "I wish I could pretend to be rich in the same way." "But we are Gypsies at heart," put in Maggie, "and I do love to scrub and cook. Grandpapa's is so dull." "And where does Grandpapa think you are now? Not in a traveling van, I'll wager," said Miss Campbell. Maggie laughed.
I have been telling her it was foretold by the King of the Gypsies that in this, my thirty-fifth year, I should meet my ideal, the woman predestined to be my wife. I have met her. The prophecy has come true." "I'm afraid it is another case of mistaken identity, Aunt Clarissa," interposed Myra. "Señor de Ruiz has made the amazing and amusing suggestion that I am the woman!
"Could it have been Gypsies?" suggested Judy, fired with the romantic notion. The old gentleman shook his head. "I think the thieves rode in a motor car," he said. "As I crossed the road some little time ago I saw one waiting there for no apparent reason. I hardly noticed who was in it. Perhaps it was some of your own classmates. In my day the boys used to play tricks like that, worse ones, even.
As regards complexion, it is found that the Gypsies in the Austrian army, who have been compelled to relinquish their wild life and dwell in houses, are as white as Europeans generally.
She looked at her father for a second, and then she broke into a passion of tears, and threw herself upon the old man's neck, and I thought I heard her murmur, 'It's broke a'ready, daddy. But I really am not quite sure that she did not say the opposite of this. I had no idea before how strong the family ties are between the Gypsies.
"Well, I should think that after this experience the people at the hotel would see that the gypsies aren't very good neighbors, after all." "That's what we're counting on, ma'am. Seems to me, from what I just happened to pick up, that there was some special reason, like, for this varmint to have acted that way today, or last night, maybe it was. Some feller in the city as was back of him."
They are a dirty, sad-looking race, far more repulsive in appearance than the lowest type of Spanish gypsies one meets in Andalusia. In returning from the Yosemite to San Francisco, let us do so by the road leading through the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees. These forest monarchs are situated in a thickly wooded glade hundreds of feet up the slope of the Sierra.
"Ben isn't in sight," Grandpa Brown said, "and that queer man is running across the fields." "Is he chasing after Ben?" asked Bunny. "Well, he may be. But if I can't see Ben, I don't see how the man can, either. I don't know what it all means." "Maybe the man was a Gypsy," said Sue, "and he wants to catch Ben, same as the Gypsies took grandpa's horses."
In the meantime Mrs. Bobbsey and the others of the family were almost frantic with grief and alarm. Mr. Bobbsey had notified the police and the town had been searched thoroughly for some trace of the missing boy. "Perhaps they have stolen Freddie away!" said Nan, with the tears starting to her eyes. "Some gypsies were in town, telling fortunes. I heard one of the girls at school tell about it."
There had been small robberies, of course, but that Hendall's, traditionally the oldest store in Deepdale, should have been treated to such insult, and by a band of roving gypsies, too for every one suspected them from the first why, it was unheard of! incredible! Detectives and sheriff had searched the town from end to end but had found no sign of the missing goods.
