A 'dolly mort' is Kennick, but it's _juva_ or _rakli_ in Rummanis.

It's a girl, or a rom's _chi_." "You say _rom_ sometimes, and then _rum_." "There's _rums_ and _roms_, sir.

The _rum_ is a Gipsy, and a _rom_ is a husband." "That's your English way of calling it.

All the rest of the world over there is only one word among Gipsies, and that is _rom_." Now, the allusion to _Kennick_ or cant by a tinker, recalls an incident which, though not strictly Gipsy in its nature, I will nevertheless narrate.
In the summer of 1870 I spent several weeks at Spa, in the Ardennes.

One day while walking I saw by the roadside a picturesque old tinker, looking neither better nor worse than the grinder made immortal by Teniers.
I was anxious to know if all of his craft in Belgium could speak Gipsy, and addressed him in that language, giving him at the same time my knife to grind.
