No, not he, he fights the Petulengres whenever he meets them; he likes nobody but himself, and wants to be king of the roads. I believe he is a Boss, or a at any rate he’s a bad one, as I know to my cost. Myself. And what are you going to do? Tinker. Do! you may well ask that; I don’t know what to do.
Tanner, in the language of the apple-woman, meaneth the smallest of English silver coins; and Tawno, in the language of the Petulengres, though bestowed upon the biggest of the Romans, according to strict interpretation signifieth a little child.
He was bold but not rude: on the contrary he was most vigilantly polite. He took snuff, though he detested it; he avoided politics as much as possible: "No, no!" he said, "I have lived too long with Romany chals and Petulengres to be of any politics save Gypsy politics," in spite of what he had said in '32 and was to say again in '57.
His father was a gypsy, and his mother, like mine, one who walked the roads? Myself. Is he of the Smiths—the Petulengres? Tinker. I say, young man, you know a thing or two; one would think, to hear you talk, you had been bred upon the roads. I thought none but those bred upon the roads knew anything of that name—Petulengres!
I have lived too long with Rommany Chals and Petulengres to be of any politics save Gypsy politics; and it is well known that, during elections, the children of Roma side with both parties so long as the event is doubtful, promising success to each; and then when the fight is done, and the battle won, invariably range themselves in the ranks of the victorious.

And so he swore you, I suppose, on the Bible, to quit the roads? Tinker. You are right, he did so, the gypsy villain. Myself. Gypsy! Is he a gypsy? Tinker. Not exactly; what they call a half-and-half. His father was a gypsy, and his mother, like mine, one who walked the roads. Myself. Is he of the Smiths the Petulengres? Tinker.
