He made it for Jericho
Bozzell, the rich Griengro as so often stays at Raxton and at Gypsy
Dell; but Rhona Bozzell hates a waggin and allus will sleep in a
tent. They do say as the Prince o' Wales wants to buy that
livin'-waggin, only he can't spare the balansers just now--his family
bein' so big an' times bein' so bad. How much money ha' you got? Can
you stan' a hundud an' fifty gold balansers for the waggin besides
the fixins?
'Shift,' I said. 'I'm prepared to spend more than that in seeking
Winnie.'
'Dordi, brother, you must be as rich as my dad, an' lie's the richest
Griengro arter Jericho Bozzell. You an' me'll jist go down to
Chester,' she continued, her eyes sparkling with delight at the
prospect of bargaining for the waggon, 'an' we'll fix up sich a
livin'-waggin as no Romany rei never had afore.'
'Agreed!' I said, wringing her hand.
'An' now you an' me's right pals,' said Sinfi.
We went to Chester, and I became owner of the famous 'livin'-waggin'
coveted (according to Sinfi) by the great personage whom, on account
of his name, she always spoke of as a rich, powerful, but mysterious
and invisible Welshman.
