"Poor man!" said the gypsy, in whom these words revived the memory of the pillory. The captain burst out laughing. "Corne-de-boeuf! here's pity as well placed as a feather in a pig's tail! May I have as big a belly as a pope, if " He stopped short. "Pardon me, ladies; I believe that I was on the point of saying something foolish." "Fie, sir" said la Gaillefontaine.

A History of the Gypsies: with Specimens of the Gypsy Language. The history of the Gypsies, according to the editor of the present work, is best presented in a series of desultory anecdotes which relate chiefly to the Egyptian usages of murder, pocket-picking, and horse-stealing, and the behavior of the rogues when they come to be hanged for their crimes.
Look at me, I am an Andalusian girl to-night, to-morrow I may be a gypsy, and a man the night after. Do as I do, give them grimaces for their money, and let us live happily."

"I fed the horse, and procured some bread and barley, as the Gypsy had directed me. I likewise purchased three fine partridges of a fowler, who was drinking wine in the posada.
There are few things that you can do that will not be easier, or better done, and perhaps be better paid for if you are 'quick at figures. You must not always live like a gypsy.
