CHAPTER VII.
The Festival--The Gypsy Song--Piramus of Rome--The Scotchman--Gypsy Names.
On the following day there was much feasting amongst the Romany chals of Mr.Petulengro's party.

Throughout the forenoon the Romany chies did scarcely anything but cook flesh, and the flesh which they cooked was swine's flesh.

About two o'clock, the chals dividing themselves into various parties, sat down and partook of the fare, which was partly roasted, partly sodden.

I dined that day with Mr.Petulengro and his wife and family, Ursula, Mr.and Mrs.Chikno, and Sylvester and his two children.

Sylvester, it will be as well to say, was a widower, and had consequently no one to cook his victuals for him, supposing he had any, which was not always the case, Sylvester's affairs being seldom in a prosperous state.
