The Romany Rye

CHAPTER XI
11/11

Your women are certainly extraordinary creatures, Jasper." "Didn't I say they were rum animals?
Brother, we Romans shall always stick together as long as they stick fast to us." "Do you think they always will, Jasper ?" "Can't say, brother; nothing lasts for ever.

Romany chies are Romany chies still, though not exactly what they were sixty years ago.

My wife, though a rum one, is not Mrs.Herne, brother.

I think she is rather fond of Frenchmen and French discourse.

I tell you what, brother, if ever gypsyism breaks up, it will be owing to our chies having been bitten by that mad puppy they calls gentility.".
