the gypsies last year. so different.
the gypsies last year. so different. than those now. louis. a full-blooded
rumanian gypsy. he says he murdered an old boyfriend. but gypsies lie. and
cheat. and steal. playing mind games. everyone. everything. he steals four
hundred dollars from marilyn and leaves new orleans. to see a friend in
tennessee. so he says. he has no friends here. anymore.
and yet wendy. a gypsy. same tribe as louis. telling fortunes in jackson
square. so friendly. nice. offers to help louis. but he lies to her. his
own blood. she likes him. asked him once. would you marry. american girl.
gypsy girl. he told her. american girl. rather boy. but he tells only what
people want heard. and she was a good christian. living with her mother.
remembering the old ways. all gypsies are different.
