Excerpt from The Gypsies of the Danes' Dike: A Story of Hedge-Side Life in England, in the Year 1855 In a few days, so good an understanding existed between the Leeds Bookman, as he was called, and these wild dwellers out of doors, that he obtained permission to pitch a tent of his own in their midst. This was the beginning Of an intimacy with these people which lasted, more or less, for two years, and during which the author had a good Opportunity of getting a favorable insight into Gypsy life and character. There ought to be another meaning in the story itself such as it is than that which oats on the surface of it; and for the rest, it will be found to contain some unusual lit crary episodes, although they were inserted there not without design and a high intention.
