Accordingly I changed my course, and followed them up. On coming upon them in a famous English camping-place I found the Lovells and the Boswells. Rhona, dressed in gorgeous attire, evidently purchased at some second-hand shop, was rehearsing the shawl-dance for a great occasion at a neighbouring fair. But no Winifred.
'It goes wherever the Lovells go. Let us follow her. You can stay at Bettws or Capel Curig, and I can stay with Sinfi. I told her how strong was Sinfi's wish that we should not do so.
'Reia Hal Aylwin you knows very well that any man, Gorgio or Romany, as followed Sinfi Lovell when she told him not, 'ud ketch a body-blow as wouldn't leave him three hull ribs, nor a ounce o' wind to bless hisself with. 'But I am now one of the Lovells, and I shall go with you. I am a Romany myself I mean I am becoming more and more of a Romany every day and every hour.
The blood of Fenella Stanley is in us both. She looked at me, evidently astonished at the earnestness and the energy of my tone. Indeed at that moment I felt an alien among Gorgios. 'I am now one of the Lovells, I said, 'and I shall go with you. 'We part company to-night, brother, fare ye well, she said.
When she allowed me to rejoin the Lovells at Kingston Vale she did so under the compulsion of my distress. But my leaving the Gypsies of my own accord left her free from this compulsion. She felt that she had now at last bidden me farewell for ever. Still, opportunities of seeing her occasionally would, I knew, present themselves, and I now determined to avail myself of these.
The next evening I went to the Great Eastern Railway station, and taking the train to Rington I walked to Gypsy Dell, where I found the Lovells and Boswells. Familiar as I was with, the better class of Welsh Gypsies, the camp here was the best display of Romany well-being I had ever seen.
Painful and agonising as had been my suspense, my oscillation between hope and dread, during my wanderings with the Lovells, these wanderings had not been without their moments of comfort, for all of which I had been indebted to Sinfi.
Of Gorgios generally, however, Sinfi had at heart a feeling somewhat akin to dread. I could not understand it. 'Why do you dislike the Gorgios, Sinfi? I said to her one day on Lake Ogwen, after the return of the Lovells to Wales.
Durward smoked furiously for a moment. Then he burst forth "You can't imagine what a brute I feel for turning you out of the Court. I wish it need not be. But the Lovells have always lived at the old place, and my wife " "Naturally." She interrupted him gently. "Naturally, she wishes to live here. I owe you no grudge for that," smiling. "When how soon do you think of coming?
The central portion of the house, was comparatively modern, built of stone in solid Georgian fashion, but quaintly flanked at either end by a massive, mediaeval tower, survival of the good old days when the Lovells of Fallowdene had held their own against all comers, not even excepting, in the case of one Roderic, his liege lord and master the King, the latter having conceived a not entirely unprovoked desire to deprive him of his lands and liberty a desire destined, however, to be frustrated by the solid masonry of Barrow.
