king has destroyed the law of the Gypsies���察�we are no longer the 



people we were once�察�when we lived amongst the sierras and deserts�察�



and kept aloof from the Busne�察�we have lived amongst the Busne till 



we are become almost like them�察�and we are no longer united�察�ready 



to assist each other at all times and seasons�察�and very frequently 



the Gitano is the worst enemy of his brother。'







MYSELF。 ´ 'The Gitanos�察�then�察�no longer wander about�察�but have 



fixed residences in the towns and villages��'







FIRST GYPSY。 ´ 'In the summer time a few of us assemble together�察�



and live about amongst the plains and hills�察�and by doing so we 



frequently contrive to pick up a horse or a mule for nothing�察�and 



sometimes we knock down a Busne�察�and strip him�察�but it is seldom we 



venture so far。  We are much looked after by the Busne�察�who hold us 



in great dread�察�and abhor us。  Sometimes�察�when wandering about�察�we 



are attacked by the labourers�察�and then we defend ourselves as well 



as we can。  There is no better weapon in the hands of a Gitano than 



his ;cachas�察─�or shears�察�with which he trims the mules。  I once 



snipped off the nose of a Busne�察�and opened the greater part of his 



cheek in an affray up the country near Trujillo。'







MYSELF。 ´ 'Have you travelled much about Spain��'







FIRST GYPSY。 ´ 'Very little�察�I have never been out of this province 



of Estremadura�察�except last year�察�as I told you�察�into Portugal。  



When we wander we do not go far�察�and it is very rare that we are 



visited by our brethren of other parts。  I have never been in 



Andalusia�察�but I have heard say that the Gitanos are many in 



Andalusia�察�and are more wealthy than those here�察�and that they 



follow better the Gypsy law。'







MYSELF。 ´ 'What do you mean by the Gypsy law��'







FIRST GYPSY。 ´ 'Wherefore do you ask�察�brother�拭 �You know what is 



meant by the law of the Cales better even than ourselves。'







MYSELF。 ´ 'I know what it is in England and in Hungary�察�but I can 



only give a guess as to what it is in Spain。'







BOTH GYPSIES。 ´ 'What do you consider it to be in Spain��'







MYSELF。 ´ 'Cheating and choring the Busne on all occasions�察�and 



being true to the errate in life and in death。'







At these words both the Gitanos sprang simultaneously from their 



seats�察�and exclaimed with a boisterous shout ´ 'Chachipe。'







This meeting with the Gitanos was the occasion of my remaining at 



Badajoz a much longer time than I originally intended。  I wished to 



become better acquainted with their condition and manners�察�and 



above all to speak to them of Christ and His Word�察�for I was 



convinced�察�that should I travel to the end of the universe�察�I 



should meet with no people more in need of a little Christian 



exhortation�察�and I accordingly continued at Badajoz for nearly 



three weeks。







During this time I was almost constantly amongst them�察�and as I 



spoke their language�察�and was considered by them as one of 



themselves�察�I had better opportunity of arriving at a fair 



conclusion respecting their character than any other person could 



have had�察�whether Spanish or foreigner�察�without such an advantage。  



I found that their ways and pursuits were in almost every respect 



similar to those of their brethren in other countries。  By cheating 



and swindling they gained their daily bread�察�the men principally by 



the arts of the jockey�察 � by buying�察�selling�察�and exchanging 



animals�察�at which they are wonderfully expert�察�and the women by 



telling fortunes�察�selling goods smuggled from Portugal�察�and dealing 



in love´draughts and diablerie。  The most innocent occupation which 



I observed amongst them was trimming and shearing horses and mules�察�



which in their language is called 'monrabar��' and in Spanish 



'esquilar'�察�and even whilst exercising this art�察�they not 



unfrequently have recourse to foul play�察�doing the animal some 



covert injury�察�in hope that the proprietor will dispose of it to 



themselves at an inconsiderable price�察�in which event they soon 



restore it to health�察�for knowing how to inflict the harm�察�they 



know likewise how to remove it。







Religion they have none�察�they never attend mass�察�nor did I ever 



hear them employ the names of God�察�Christ�察�and the Virgin�察�but in 



execration and blasphemy。  From what I could learn�察�it appeared 



that their fathers had entertained some belief in metempsychosis�察�



but they themselves laughed at the idea�察�and were of opinion that 



the soul perished when the body ceased to breathe�察�and the argument 



which they used was rational enough�察�so far as it impugned 



metempsychosis�此 �'We have been wicked and miserable enough in this 



life��' they said�察�'why should we live again��'







I translated certain portions of Scripture into their dialect�察�



which I frequently read to them�察�especially the parable of Lazarus 



and the Prodigal Son�察�and told them that the latter had been as 



wicked as themselves�察�and both had suffered as much or more�察�but 



that the sufferings of the former�察�who always looked forward to a 



blessed resurrection�察�were recompensed by admission�察�in the life to 



come�察�to the society of Abraham and the Prophets�察�and that the 



latter�察�when he repented of his sins�察�was forgiven�察�and received 



into as much favour as the just son。







They listened with admiration�察�but�察�alas� �not of the truths�察�the 



eternal truths�察�I was telling them�察�but to find that their broken 



jargon could be written and read。  The only words denoting anything 



like assent to my doctrine which I ever obtained�察�were the 



following from the mouth of a woman�此 �'Brother�察�you tell us strange 



things�察�though perhaps you do not lie�察�a month since I would sooner 



have believed these tales�察�than that this day I should see one who 



could write Rommany。'







Two or three days after my arrival�察�I was again visited by the 



Gypsy of the withered arm�察�who I found was generally termed Paco�察�



which is the diminutive of Francisco�察�he was accompanied by his 



wife�察�a rather good´looking young woman with sharp intelligent 



features�察�and who appeared in every respect to be what her husband 



had represented her on the former visit。  She was very poorly clad�察�



and notwithstanding the extreme sharpness of the weather�察�carried 



no mantle to protect herself from its inclemency�察 � her raven black 



hair depended behind as far down as her hips。  Another Gypsy came 



with them�察�but not the old fellow whom I had before seen。  This was 



a man about forty´five�察�dressed in a zamarra of sheep´skin�察�with a 



high´crowned Andalusian hat�察�his complexion was dark as pepper�察�and 



his eyes were full of sullen fire。  In his appearance he exhibited 



a goodly compound of Gypsy and bandit。







PACO。 ´ 'Laches chibeses te dinele Undebel ��May God grant you good 



days�察�brother��。  This is my wife�察�and this is my wife's father。'







MYSELF。 ´ 'I am glad to see them。  What are their names��'







PACO。 ´ 'Maria and Antonio�察�their other name is Lopez。'







MYSELF。 ´ 'Have they no Gypsy names��'







PACO。 ´ 'They have no other names than these。'







MYSELF。 ´ 'Then in this respect the Gitanos of Spain are unlike 



those of my country。  Every family there has two names�察�one by 



which they are known to the Busne�察�and another which they use 



amongst themselves。'







ANTONIO。 ´ 'Give me your hand�察�brother�  �I should have come to see 



you before�察�but I have been to Olivenzas in search of a horse。  



What I have heard of you has filled me with much desire to know 



you�察�and I now see that you can tell me many things which I am 



ignorant of。  I am Zincalo by the four sides ´ I love our blood�察�



and I hate that of the Busne。  Had I my will I would wash my face 



every day in the blood of the Busne�察�for the Busne are made only to 



be robbed and to be slaughtered�察�but I love the Calore�察�and I love 



to hear of things of the Calore�察�especially from those of foreign 



lands�察�for the Calore of foreign lands know more than we of Spain�察�



and more resemble our fathers of old。'







MYSELF。 ´ 'Have you ever met before with Calore who were not 



Spaniards��'







ANTONIO。 ´ 'I will tell you�察�brother。  I served as a soldier in the 



war of the independence against the French。  War�察�it is true�察�is 



not the proper occupation of a Gitano�察�but those were strange 



times�察�and all those who could bear arms were compelled to go forth 



to fight�此 �so I went with the English armies�察�and we chased the 



Gabine unto the frontier of France�察�and it happened once that we 



joined in desperate battle�察�and there was a confusion�察�and the two 



parties became intermingled and fought sword to sword and bayonet 



to bayonet�察�and a French soldier singled me out�察�and we fought for 



a long time�察�cutting�察�goring�察�and cursing each other�察�till at last 



we flung down our arms and grappled�察�long we wrestled�察�body to 



body�察�but I found that I was the weaker�察�and I fell。  The French 



soldier's knee was on my breast�察�and his grasp was on my throat�察�



and he seized his bayonet�察�and he raised it to thrust me through 



the jaws�察�and his cap had fallen off�察�and I lifted up my eyes 



wildly to his face�察�and our eyes met�察�and I gave a loud shriek�察�and 



cried Zincalo�察�Zincalo� �and I felt him shudder�察�and he relaxed his 



grasp and started up�察�and he smote his forehead and wept�察�and then 



he came to me and knelt down by my side�察�for I was almost dead�察�and 



he took my hand and called me Brother and Zincalo�察�and he produced 



his flask and poured wine into my mouth�察�and I revived�察�and he 



raised me up�察�and led me from the concourse�察�and we sat down on a 



knoll�察�and the two parties were fighting all around�察�and he said�察�



;Let the dogs fight
