The English Gipsies and Their Language

CHAPTER X
39/100

So we went quickly enough over the hedge, and hid ourselves there in the field until the gentleman was gone.
I saw the gentleman in the morning, and he asked me what I had done the day before, after church.

I told him I'd drunk two or three cups of ale and was half tipsy.

And he said, "My man was drunk as you, and I sent him off." I told him then, "I hope not, sir, for such a little thing as that; and he is not used to drink ale, he's only accustomed to cider, that don't intoxicate him." But no, the poor man had to go away.

_And that's all I can tell you about my going to church_.
