Gorgio

For a Romany woman who marries a Gorgio the penalty is death.

The Gorgio thinks the Gipsy a thief, but the Gipsy is not a thief.

Whereupon I answers, ‘It all comes of my son Jasper, who brings the gorgio to our fire, and must needs be teaching him.’

The Gitanas had their tents, where they danced to gorgio audiences, exacting exorbitant fees for each performance.

Affinities there were, no doubt, between the Romany and the “Gorgio” Borrow, but they are strong temperamental differences.
