Did you think I'd put it in a museum? I can't play it, but there it is for any one that can play. How would you like to try it?" he added to Jethro in a friendly tone.

A stranger is up against all kinds of things if he isn't a native, and you're not. Your home and country's a good way from here, eh?" Suddenly the Romany faced him. "Yes.
