In print he was given the name Jasper Petulengro Petulengro being Gypsy for shoesmith and as Jasper Petulengro he is now one of the most unforgetable of heroes; the name is the man, and for many Englishmen his form and character have probably created quite a new value for the name of Jasper. Well, Jasper Petulengro lives.
‘What hill is that?’ I demanded. And then Mr. Petulengro told me the name of the hill. ‘We shall stay on t’other side of the hill a fortnight,’ he continued; ‘and, as you are fond of lil-writing, you may employ yourself profitably whilst there. You can write the lil of him whose dook gallops down that hill every night, even as the living man was wont to do long ago.’ ‘Who was he?’ I demanded.
Petulengro putting a heavy whip into my hand, and saying a few words to me in his own mysterious language. 'The horse wants no whip, said the landlord. 'Hold your tongue, daddy, said Mr.

Petulengro; 'one of those whom we call Boro drom engroes, and the gorgios highway-men. I once heard a rye say that the life of that man would fetch much money; so come to the other side of the hill, and write the lil in the tent of Jasper and his wife Pakomovna. At first I felt inclined to accept the invitation of Mr. Petulengro; a little consideration, however, determined me to decline it.
'You appear agitated, said the Armenian; 'take another glass of wine; you possess a great deal of philological knowledge, but it appears to me that the language of this Petulengro is your foible: but let us change the subject; I feel much interested in you, and would fain be of service to you.

"I will say nothing at present on the subject," said Belle, "I must have time to consider." "Just as you please," said I, "to-morrow I go to a fair with Mr. Petulengro, perhaps you will consider whilst I am away.
"Here we are, brother," said Mr. Petulengro; "here we are, come to see you wizard and witch, witch and wizard: "'There's a chovahanee, and a chovahano, The nav se len is Petulengro." "Hold your tongue, sir," said Mrs. Petulengro; "you make me ashamed of you with your vulgar ditties. We are come a visiting now, and everything low should be left behind." "True," said Mr.
He adds a little vanity of no value by a Biblical echo now and again, as in the clause: "And it came to pass, moreover, that the said Fajardo . . . " or in "And the chief of that camp, even Mr. Petulengro, stood before the encampment. . . ." This is a style for information, instruction, edification, and intervals of sleep.
