"I shall be chief over all the Romany people when Duke Gabriel dies. We are sib; give me what is mine. I am yours and I hold to my troth. Come, beloved, let us go together." A sigh broke from her lips, for she saw that, bad as he was, there was a moment's truth in his words. "Go while you can," she said. "You are nothing to me."
I had never seen the woman before, or any body like her, except a picture of the Queen of Sheba when she was on a visit to Solomon. Could this woman come from Sheba? Could she take me for no, no she couldn't possibly take me for Solomon. So I was quite non-plussed. "You no get no letter, Massa Sib, to tell you we was to come eh?" A letter? a letter?
'His name is Hall; he is thick with the Dauphin. Ha! Madame, is he sib to him that aided in the slaughter of Eastern's Eve night? 'Just, laddie. 'Tis own son to him that Queen Jean made dae sic a fearful penance. What are ye doing? 'I'll run the villain through, and turn back to Nanci while yet there is time, said George, his hand on his sword. 'Hold, ye daft bodie!
"What a wonder you are, Betty!" said Martha West in a pleased tone. "Poor little Sib, she doesn't understand how to manage the flowers!" "She looks very nice now," said Betty. "It was sweet of you to do it for her," said Martha. "And, you know, she quite worships you; she does, really." "There was nothing in my doing it," replied Betty.

There the priest gave her the heartiest busses in the world and making her sib to God Almighty, solaced himself with her a great while; after which he took leave of her and returned to the parsonage in his cassock, as it were he came from officiating at a wedding.
His eyes brighten. Thank God, there was still war. My quotations have been enough to show the emotional force and the trenchant irony of Latzko's book. It scorches. It is a torch of suffering and revolt. Both its merits and its defects are sib to this frenzy. The author is master of the writer's art, but he is not always master of his own feelings.

Nobody was ever disturbed. Nobody's feelings were ever hurt. Nobody in all the parish had ever heard a voice of thunder saying, Thou art the man.
"It's Long Sim o' the Cleuch," one said; "he's sib to Wat or he wadna be here. Sim likes his ain fireside better than the 'Bateable Land'." The companionship of others cheered him.
