a bit-iust to feel that they really are
gipsies-and then they come back
again to their caves to tell the for
tunes of visiting innocent tourists
and to sell the mobjects OF immense
antiquity that have BEEN made In
Granada but few days or weeks
! before.
These caves where they live form,
in rough kind of way, village. 1t
