Fleda was the heir of all this, the product of generations of such vagabondage. Had the last few years given her the civic sense, the home sense? From the influence of the Englishwoman, who had made her forsake the Romany life, had there come habits of mind in tune with the women of the Sagalac, who were helping to build so much more than their homes?
"I don't see why a Romany chi should object to enter into the honourable estate of wedlock with a gorgio." "You don't, brother; don't you?"
"Oh, you're here, and longing to get at it," he said pleasantly. He had seen the look in the eyes of the Romany as he entered, and noted which way his footsteps were tending. "Well, we needn't lose any time, but will you have a drink and a smoke first?" he added.
But presently Jimmy Nowlett gave a big puff at his pipe and spoke 'I suppose you got bit too in that quarter, Romany? 'Oh, she tried it on, but it didn't go, said Romany. 'I've met her sort before. She's setting her cap at that Jackaroo now. Some girls will run after anything with trousers on, and he stood up.
"Dekko the drawing," he would say, using the old Romany word for "let's see." "PRACtically" was a favourite word. "PRACtically the 'ole Peninsula " "PRACtically every one of 'em " "It weren't that," he would say; or, "I weren't bothering " "I'm not bothered " "Thee needn't bother, but it's a misfortunate thing " "Hates me like the divil 'ates Holy Water." "Like enough!" "A pound to a penny!"
There seems to be little doubt that Borrow's fame with the Gypsies spread throughout England and the Continent. "Everybody as ever see'd the white-headed Romany Rye never forgot him." Borrow was by no means the first Romany Rye.
"Nothing can change that. It was done by the River Starzke, and it was the word of the Ry of Rys. It stands for ever. There is no divorce except death for the Romany." "The patrins cease to mark the way," returned the old man with a swift gesture. "The divorce of death will come."
'What the hell's Romany trying to do? said Jimmy Nowlett. 'He couldn't have fell off his horse or else he's drunk. A couple of chaps got up and went to see. Then there was that waiting, mysterious silence that comes when something happens in the dark and nobody knows what it is. I went over, and the thing dawned on me.
Her mother was a Breton not a Romany. We're on the way to France now. She wants to see where her mother was born. She's got the Breton lingo, and she knows some English; but she speaks French mostly." "Well, well," rejoined Gaston, "take care of yourself, and good luck to you. Good-bye good-bye, Andree." He put his hand in his pocket to give her some money, but changed his mind.
But, my dear Romany chi, he continued, now turning slowly round, 'in passing your strictures upon the Gorgio world, you should remember that you belong to a very limited aristocracy, and that your remarks may probably fall upon ears of an entirely inferior and Gorgio convolution. 'No offence, I hope. said Sinfi. 'Offence in calling the Gorgios mad?
