"Be very careful, Gypsy," called her father, nervously; "I'm really almost afraid to have you go. You might come to the precipice sooner, than you expect, and then the horse may shy." "I'll be careful father; come, Nelly, gently—whe-ee!"
There was a gypsy leaning out of the doorway. Mrs. Sardotopolis stared at her. "Tell your fortune, missus," called the gypsy. Mrs. Sardotopolis nodded and entered the hallway. Her head felt dizzy.
