22939( Do you think I would rob_ you_ or pick your pockets?)
22939( Do_ you_ believe in that?)
22939( Was it stealing a horse?)
22939( Where are they all?)
22939A few days after, walking with a lady in Weybridge, she said to me,--"Who is that man who looked at you so closely?"
22939After a very long drive we found ourselves in the gypsy street, and the_ istvostshik_ asked me,"To what house?"
22939All at once a thought struck me, and I exclaimed,--"Do you know any other languages?"
22939Am I a stranger here?
22939An instant after I said,--"_ Ha veduto il mio''havallo la sera_?"
22939An''sa se adduvvel?
22939And I added,--"_ Wo n''t_ you talk a word with a gypsy brother?"
22939And I spoke suddenly, and said,--"_ Can tute rakker Romanes_,_ miri dye_?"
22939And did n''t I hear you with my own ears count up to ten in Romany?
22939And does it not seem as if there were something in human nature pulling men back to a rude and simple life?"
22939And how much will you take?
22939And on that very[ true] day the lady Trinali heard how Merlin was[ is] a great, powerful wizard, and said,"What sort of a man is this?
22939And what is it?
22939And what was it like?
22939And what was said of the Poles who had, during the Middle Ages, a reputation almost as good as that of gypsies?
22939And who shall say they were not?
22939Are over- culture, excessive sentiment, constant self- criticism, and all the brood of nervous curses to monopolize and inspire art?
22939Arthur Mitchell, in inquiring What is Civilization?
22939As I spoke I dropped my voice, and said, inquiringly,--"Romanes?"
22939As if he could hardly believe in such a phenomenon he inquired,"_ Romany_?"
22939As we went about looking at people and pastimes, a Romany, I think one of the Ayres, said to me,--"See the two policemen?
22939But I laughed, and said in Romany,"How are you, my dears?
22939But Owen the tinker looked steadily at me for an instant, as if to see what manner of man I might be, and then said,--"_ Shelta_, is it?
22939But can any of you smoke?"
22939Ca n''t you tell fortunes?)
22939Can you bug Shelta?
22939Can you recall no child by any wayside of life to whom you have given a chance smile or a kind word, and been repaid with artless sudden attraction?
22939Can you talk tinkers''language?
22939Can you thari Shelter?

22939Did I ever in all my life steal a chicken?
22939Did mandy ever chore a kani adre mi jiv?
22939Did n''t your friend there talk Romanes?
22939Did you ever see a two- headed halfpenny?
22939Divested of diamonds and of Worth''s dresses, what would a girl of average charms be worth to a stranger?
22939Do n''t I know our people?
22939Do n''t she look just as Alfi used to look?"
22939Do n''t you see there are ladies here?
22939Do n''t you understand?
22939Do not''well- constituted''men want to fish and shoot or kill something, themselves, by climbing mountains, when they can find nothing else?
22939Do you know Lord John Russell?"
22939Do you know me?"
22939Do_ you_ know anythin''of Italian, sir?"
22939Does not the exquisite of Rotten Row weary for his flannel shirt and shooting- jacket?
22939Girl, wilt thou live in my dwelling, For pearls and diamonds true?
22939Girl, wilt thou live in my home?
22939Go where we may, we find the Jew-- has any other wandered so far?

22939He replied,"I am he; what is your name?"
22939He that was_ staruben_ for a_ gry_?"
22939Hear ye the mournful song he''s singing, Like distant tolling through the air?
22939Hear ye the troika- bell a- ringing, And see the peasant driver there?
22939His fingers relaxed their grasp of the shilling, his hand was drawn from his pocket, and his glance, like Bill Nye''s, remarked:"_ Can_ this be?"
22939How are you?
22939How do you do it up to such a high peg?"
22939How was that?
22939How''s your brother Frank?
22939I had started one morning on a walk by the Thames, when I met a friend, who asked,--"Are n''t you going to- day to the Hampton races?"
22939I have frequently been asked,"Why do you take an interest in gypsies?"
22939I hear two maidens gently talking, Bohemian maids, and fair to see: The one on distant hills is walking, The other maiden,--where is she?
22939I looked him fixedly in the eyes, and said, in a low tone,--"_ Ne rakesa tu Romanes miro prala_?"
22939I paused before her, and said in English,--"Can you tell a fortune for a young lady?"
22939I replied,--"If I had sixpence, how would you divide it?"
22939I said nothing for a few seconds, but looked at her intently, and then asked,--"_ Rakessa tu Romanes_,_ miri pen_?"
22939I turned, and the witch eyes, distended with awe and amazement, were glaring into mine, while she said, in a hurried whisper,--"Was n''t it Romanes?"
22939If you say you are selling goods under cost, it''s very likely some yokel will cry out,''Stolen, hey?''
22939In an instant Ben had taken my hand, and said_ Sholem aleichum_, and"Can you talk Spanish?"
22939In short, does it not appear that these conventionalities are irksome, and are disregarded when the chance presents itself?
22939Is it not extremely probable that during the"out- wandering"the Dom communicated his name and habits to his fellow- emigrants?
22939Is it true?
22939Is joyous and healthy nature to vanish step by step from the heart of man, and morbid, egoistic pessimism to take its place?
22939Is n''t he all Romaneskas?

22939Now thou art my darling girl, And I love thee dearly; Oh, beloved and my fair, Lov''st thou me sincerely?
22939Now was n''t that wonderful?"
22939Of course he knew a little of it; was there ever an old"traveler"who did not?
22939Oh,_ rya_,"she cried, eagerly,"you know so much,--you''re such a deep Romany,--can''t_ you_ tell fortunes?"
22939Or why is the pursuit of knowledge assumed among the half- bred to be an excuse for so much intrusion?

22939Seeing me he stopped, and said, grimly,--"Do you love your Jesus?"
22939Shall I introduce you?"
22939So I went up to the bar and spoke:--"How are you, Agnes?"

22939That we, ourselves, were some kind of a mysterious high- caste Romany they had already concluded, and what faith could we put in_ dukkerin_?
22939The little tot came up to me,--I had never heard her speak before,--a little brown- faced, black- eyed thing, and said,"How- do, Omany''eye?"
22939The old dame stared at me and at the lady as if bewildered, and cried,--"In the name of God, what kind of gypsies are_ you_?"
22939The question which I can not solve is, On which of the Celtic languages is this jargon based?
22939Then Merlin inquired,"What is his name?"
22939Then Merlin said,"Do you know how to make this business all nice and right?"
22939Then he added,"You belongy Inklis man?"
22939To him I said,--"_ Rakessa tu Romanes_?"
22939To them it is a song without words; would they be happier if the world brought them to know it as words without song, without music or melody?
22939Tu shan miri pireni Me kamava tute, Kamlidiri, rinkeni, Kames mande buti?

22939Was it_ rest_?
22939Was that the Smith who kept a dancing and boxing place near London Bridge?
22939We stopped at a stylish- looking building, entered a hall, left our_ skubas_, and I heard the general ask,"Are the gypsies here?"
22939Well, and what if you do?
22939Were you born in England?"
22939What do they call her?"
22939What do you tell''em-- about-- what do they think-- you know?"
22939What is your little game of life, on general principles?"
22939What the gypsy meant effectively was,"How do you account to the Gorgios for knowing so much about us, and talking with us?
22939What was it?"
22939What will you have, sir?"
22939What''s the drab made of that I sell in these bottles?
22939What''s the use of your tryin''to make yourself out a Gorgio to_ me_?
22939When any_ tour_ was deftly made the dark master nodded to me with gleaming eyes, as if saying,"What do you think of_ that_, now?"
22939Whence come these white girls wreathing round me?
22939Where do you live?"
22939Where is she?
22939Which means,"How are you, sir?"
22939While she was forth, A. asked me,"Do you tell fortunes, or_ what_?"
22939Who that knows London knoweth not Sir Patrick Colquhoun?
22939Who was Mammy Sauerkraut?"
22939Why are all those sticks dropped so suddenly?
22939Why did n''t you come down into Kent to see the hoppin''?
22939Why do n''t you answer her?
22939Why haunt me thus, awake or dreaming?
22939Why love these better than pictures, and with a more than fine- art feeling?
22939Why, indeed?
22939Will not the managers of the next world show give us a living ethnological department?
22939With a wink, I answered,"Why not?
22939Would I accompany him to the next tavern, and have some beer?
22939Would we have some tea made?
22939Would you have believed it?"

22939_ Have n''t you the change_?

22939_ How do you do it_?

22939he exclaimed,"what is this I hear?
22939what does it mean?"
22939what is that there?)
22939what_ is_ your name?"
39665Afraid of what?
39665And_ ceased to be Gipsies_?
39665But are you really a_ nawken_?
39665But who is he?
39665But, sir,said she,"what was that you said to them, for they seem afraid?"
39665Come away,said he;"what is this you are asking after?
39665Did n''t you feel,said I to some of them,"very like a dog when he comes across another dog, a stranger to him?"
39665Died out?
39665Do you know anything of it?
39665Do you recollect,continued she,"of a female taking you by the arm, and urging you to leave them?"
39665Eat with you? 39665 Have you names for everything, and can you converse on any subject, in that language?"
39665Joking, man?
39665Let the dogs fight, and tear each other''s throats, till they are all destroyed: what matters it to us? 39665 Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
39665There is your sweetheart now-- look at him-- do you not see him?
39665These two classes of foreign vagrants[ why does he call them_ foreign_ vagrants? 39665 Want--_want?_"replied the Gipsy, with a leering eye towards the empty bottle;"we want nothing-- we''ve got all that we want!"
39665Weel, man,said he to the turnkey,"is this your hour, now?"
39665What do you say?
39665What is his calling?
39665What is that?
39665What more could I have done for my vine than I have done?
39665What part of England did you come from?
39665What then?
39665What was your father, I would like to know? 39665 What will your people think, if they knew that you had been eating with us?
39665What,said I,"are you a member of this society?"
39665What_ part_ of England did I come from, did you say? 39665 Will you allow me,"said I,"to write down your words?"
39665You''ll aye speak the language?
39665_ Curate._--Could you not, by degrees, bring yourself to a more settled mode of life? 39665 _ Honest_ man?"
39665_ Query 1st._ What number of Gipsies in the county? 39665 _ Query 2d._ In what do the men and women mostly employ themselves?
39665_ Query 3d._ Have they any settled abode in winter, and where? 39665 _ Query 4th._ Are any of their children taught to read, and what portion of them?
39665''Dear me, William,''said the minister, in his usual quiet manner,''can this be you?
39665--"A what?
39665--"And what are you, you black trash?
39665--"Perhaps you would not wish it to be said that John Bunyan was a Gipsy?"
396652ndly: what are the feelings which he entertains for him personally?
39665All at once he started up, exclaiming, in a mournful tone of voice,"Oh, can ony o''ye read, sirs; will some o''ye read a psalm to me?"
39665All things considered, in what other position could the Gipsy race, in Scotland especially, be, at the present day, than that described?
39665Although_ you_ might shrink from such a step, would you not like, and can not you induce,_ some one_ to take it?
39665Am I not right, in asserting, that there is nothing you hold more dear than your Egyptian descent, signs, and language?
39665And 3dly: what must be the response of the Gipsy to the sentiments of the other?
39665And I replied:"Why should you be ashamed of it?"
39665And do not the Scottish Gipsies, at the present day, claim them to have been Gipsies?
39665And he takes a greater pride in doing it, for thus he reasons:"What is English, French, Gaelic, or any other living language, compared to mine?
39665And how are these sins to be put away, seeing that the temple, the high- priesthood, and the sacrifices no longer exist?
39665And how could the fact of the tribe originating in Egypt be a proof of Divine favour towards the individual?
39665And how does the Gipsy woman bring up her children in regard to her own race?
39665And nothing you more dread than such becoming known to your fellow- men around you?
39665And were not all the Borderers, in their way, the worst kind of thieves?
39665And what difference does it make?
39665And what estimate should we place on that charity which would lead a person to denounce a Gipsy, should he deny himself to be a Gipsy?
39665And what has brought it to its present condition?
39665And what shall we say of our Highland thieves?
39665And who are they now but mixed Gipsies?
39665And who are this people?
39665And who were the tinkers?
39665And"Which of the prophets have they not persecuted?"
39665Are not Spanish Gipsies still Spanish Gipsies, although a change may have come over the characters and circumstances of some of them?
39665Are not our own Borderers and Highlanders as much Borderers and Highlanders as ever they were?
39665Are the McGregors sure that there are no Gipsies among them?
39665Are there none such elsewhere than in Moscow?
39665As a Scotchman, as a citizen of the world, whether should my sympathies lay more with the Gipsies than with the Jews?
39665As he advanced to the door, he asked with a loud voice,"Who is there?"
39665At whose door must the cause of such a feeling be laid?
39665Aye or nay, was John Bunyan a Gipsy?
39665Borrow described them there?
39665Borrow find the Gipsies in Hungary?
39665Borrow for a Gipsy, as he said they did?
39665Borrow mentioned those having attained to such an eminent position in society at Moscow?
39665Borrow supposes the priests and learned men to have given them?
39665But ask them if they are English, and they will readily answer:"_ English?_ No, siree!"
39665But some of my countrymen may say:"What are we to do, under the circumstances?"
39665But then, Gipsies, what can you do?
39665But what are full- blood Gipsies, to commence with?
39665But what can he say about it?
39665But what could have induced the priests and learned men to take any such particular interest in the Gipsies?
39665But what difference did that make?
39665But what is Gipsydom, after all, but a"working in among other people?"
39665But who ever heard of such a thing taking place with a Gipsy?
39665But why need he trouble himself?
39665But will he say to his friends, or neighbours, that his wife is a Gipsy?
39665But will these Gipsies do that?
39665But, after all, what is a pure Gipsy?
39665But, as I have said before, how is that ever to be ascertained?
39665But, in making this distinction, is there nothing to be found within the former sphere somewhat anomalous to the position thus presented?
39665But, it may be asked, how has this sacrifice of the horse never been mentioned in Scotland before?
39665But, to commence with, what is the native capacity of a Gipsy?
39665Can it drive you from it?
39665Could medical science rid them of either?
39665Could they throw either off, as they would an old coat?
39665Did every priest, at that time, know there even was such a book as the Bible in existence?
39665Did the public know of the existence of a Gipsy language in Scotland?
39665Do Gipsies_ teach_ their language to_ strangers_, and, more especially, to strange women?
39665Do you really believe in Moses?
39665Do you sell_ roys_( spoons)?
39665Does an Englishman feel curious to know what caste can mean?
39665Does any one say that the English race is not a race?
39665Does caste exist nowhere but in India?
39665Does education, does religion, remove from his mind a knowledge of who he is, or change his blood?
39665Does he take the trouble to give the claims of Christianity the slightest consideration?
39665Does the settled Gipsy keep a crockery or tin establishment, or an inn, or follow any other occupation?
39665Doubtless, its sins; but what particular sins?
39665Even remove the prejudice that exists against the Gipsies, as regards their colour, habits, and history; what then?
39665For what idea had the public of the_ working of Gipsydom_--what idea of the Gipsy language?
39665He became agitated and angry, and called out,"What do you mean?
39665He strolls with the Gipsies in his youth, 8--Was he then looking at the"old thing?"
39665How are they to discover their origin, when so many of the body around them have the same colour of hair and complexion?
39665How can we imagine a race of people to act otherwise than hide themselves, if they could, from the odium that attaches to the name of Gipsy?
39665How could a"change of habits"make a McGregor anything but a McGregor?
39665How could the effects of any just and liberal law towards the McGregors lead to the decrease, and final extinction, of the McGregors?
39665How could the fact of a man being a Gipsy be made the grounds of any kind of spiritual exultation?
39665How could they avoid being Gipsies?
39665How could they get rid of their blood and descent?
39665How could_ they_ comprehend that_ their_ language had found, or could find, its way into_ books_?
39665How could_ they_ imagine that the commencement of my knowledge of their language had been drawn from_ books_?
39665How did Billy Marshall happen to be a Gipsy?
39665How did she come to speak Gipsy?
39665How long is it since the white blood was introduced among his ancestors?
39665How many_ chauvies_( children) have you?
39665How put it down?
39665How would he account for the existence of a hereditary caste of any kind, in England, and that just one-- the"tinker caste"?
39665How would it have advanced his mission as a minister?
39665How, then, are we to bridge over this gulf that separates them, in feeling, from the rest of the world?
39665How, then, can a"change of habits"prevent a man from being his father''s son?
39665How, then, does such a Scottish Gipsy feel in regard to his ancestors?
39665I ask, again, is not that a fact?
39665I ask;"that is impossible; for who are more prolific than Gipsies?"
39665I asked her, how many_ chauvies_ she had?
39665I asked the fellow with the thimbles,"Is that_ gaugie a nawken_?"
39665I now come to ask, what constitutes a Gipsy at the present day?
39665I will let you hear me speak our language, but what the better will you be of that?"
39665I would, for instance, ask them: Have you a_ grye_( horse)?
39665If a Christian asks:"Who are the Jews, and what do they here?"
39665If a Gipsy would not tolerate any of his own race entering upon his district, was he likely to allow any native?
39665If a person were asked, What is a pure Jew?
39665If he has been so favoured by God, what can he point to as the fruits of so much loving- kindness shown him?
39665If it was then hereditary, is it not so still?
39665If no writer on the subject of the illustrious dreamer has ever taken that trouble, to what must we attribute the fact but the prejudice of caste?
39665If not, by what means has it ceased to be hereditary?
39665If one''s ancestors were all Walkers, is not the present Walker still a Walker?
39665If such or such a family was originally of the Gipsy race, is it not so still?
39665If the European will, for example, ask himself, 1stly: what is the idea which he has of a Gipsy?
39665If they had not good memories, how could they, at the present day, speak a word of their language at all?
39665In what direction may we look for the causes of such an anomaly in the history of our common civilization?
39665In what sense, then, was Bunyan a blackguard?
39665Is he fair- haired?
39665Is it a feeling, or a knowledge, of religion that leads a Jewish child, almost the moment it can speak, to say that it is a Jew?
39665Is it not so with the Gipsies?
39665Is not the game in the Gipsy woman''s own hands?
39665It surely might have occurred to them to ask,_ 1stly_: What was that particular family, or tribe, of which Bunyan said he was a member?
39665Let a Lowlander, in times that are past, but have cast up a Highlander''s blood to him, and what would have been the consequences?
39665Might it not be in Spain as in Great Britain?
39665Now, what is the fact?
39665Of whom does Bunyan speak here, if not of the Gipsies?
39665On meeting with a respectable-- Scotchman, I will call him-- in a company, lately, I was asked by him:"Are ye a''Tinklers?"
39665On one occasion, I gave him the sign, which he repeated, while he asked, with much tartness of manner,"What is that-- what does it mean?"
39665On one occasion, I was asked,"If you would not deem it presumptuous, might we ask you to take a bite with us?"
39665On their taking leave of me, I said to them,"Do you intend coming round this part of the country again?"
39665Or society at the present day-- what is it but a compound of deceit and hypocrisy?
39665Or that he does not believe that the tinkers are Gipsies?
39665Or that it would lead you to immediately"take to your beds,"or depart, bed and baggage, to parts unknown?
39665Or that the American is not a race?
39665Or that the Turks of Constantinople, on account of the mixture of their blood, were not Turks?
39665Or what could they even propose doing, to bring about that event?
39665Or, I should rather say, how could the priests and learned men think of giving them a name after they themselves had said who they were?
39665Religious journals decline entertaining the question,"Was John Bunyan a Gipsy?
