One of his wives was a truly remarkable woman: she was of the Petulengro or Smith tribe; her Christian name, if Christian name it can be called, was Xuri or Shuri, and from her exceeding smartness and cleverness she was generally called by the Gypsies Yocky Shuri,—that is, smart or clever Shuri, _yocky_ being a Gypsy word, signifying ‘clever.’ She could _dukker_—that is, tell fortunes—to perfection, by which alone during the racing season she could make a hundred pounds a month.

Shuri uttered no cry or complaint, only mumbled: “Although with broken jawbone, I’ll follow thee, my Ryley, Since Lura doesn’t jal.” Thereupon Ryley and Yocky Shuri left Yorkshire, and wended their way to London, where they took up their abode in the Gypsyry near the Shepherd’s Bush.

Shuri went about _dukkering_ and _hokking_, but not with the spirit of former times, for she was not quite so young as she had been, and her jaw, which was never properly cured, pained her much.

Shuri and his children, of whom he had three—two stout young fellows and a girl—gave him a magnificent funeral, and screamed, shouted, and wept over his grave.

One of these, addressed to Yocky Shuri, runs as follows: Tuley the Can I kokkeney cam Like my rinkeny Yocky Shuri: Oprey the chongor in ratti I’d cour For my rinkeny Yocky Shuri! Which may be thus rendered: Beneath the bright sun, there is none, there is none, I love like my Yocky Shuri: With the greatest delight, in blood I would fight To the knees for my Yocky Shuri! KIRK YETHOLM THERE are two Yetholms—Town Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm.
