THE THOROUGH EXAMINATION It was a real caravan.

That is to say, either gypsies might have lived in it, or anyone that did live in it would soon be properly gipsified.
It was painted in gay colours, and had little white blinds with very neat waists and red sashes round them.

That is the right kind of caravan.

The brown caravans highly varnished are wrong: they may be more luxurious, but no gypsy would look at them.
The body of it was green--a good apple green--and the panels were lined with blue.

Some people say that blue and green won't go together; but don't let us take any notice of them.
