Though the language of the Gipsies has been kept a great secret for centuries, still a few words have in England oozed out here and there from some unguarded crevice, and become a portion of our tongue.

There is, it must be admitted, a great difficulty in tracing, with anything like accuracy, the real origin or identity of such expressions.

Some of them came into English centuries ago, and during that time great changes have taken place in Rommany.
