Yes, those
were brave times for the Rommany chals, to which the old people often
revert with a sigh: the poor Gypsies, say they, were then allowed to sove
abri (sleep abroad) where they listed, to heat their kettles at the foot
of the oaks, and no people grudged the poor persons one night's use of a
meadow to feed their cattle in.
Footnotes:
{147a} 'I, who am a smuggler.' The Spanish version, 'Yo que soy,' etc.,
is more familiar, and more harmonious.
{147b} 'When the king arrived.'
