I'm going to have to wait to read all of your wonderful history posts because my time is very limited here. I'm back at the library computer because PC decided it was time to again give me trouble. Keep writing.

Some gypsies change their names to have a better chance of getting employed. Sad.

Very bold for someone to make a real attempt to see how these legends may really have come about and settling to have some answer as to what they really may have been. Sad that the people couldn't have settled in somewhere and become more credible. Maybe they did in some countries.

I like the legend of the little people, of how they learned healing arts
and magic and all. It's fascinating. And then you mentioned ladies maids slipping out to the woods for a night of passion, and everything else just faded into the background. What fun, Kabu!

I'm really enjoying this story, and am anxiously awaiting further chapters!
Have you ever seen the Laurel & Hardy movie, where they are taught to be pickpockets by Gypsies? It is absolutely HILARIOUS! In order to tell fortunes, (pick pockets) they tell the victim that they must touch their eyelids, as one's eyes are doorways to one's soul. As they reach towards the vic's face, the eyes close and the last picture they see before closing the eyes, are two forefingers approaching the eyes. at the last moment, the "fortune teller" switches to using two fingers of one hand, touching eyelids, and pulling the victim's purse from his pocket with the free hand. Of course Stan screws things up by forgetting to use one hand, and frustrated, just snatching the purse and running. Gypsies had always gotten a bad name as thieves, confidence men and pickpockets. I can understand that this is a natural reaction, for people to distrust and defame the utterly different.

Great history tale, quite violent for the little people at times, but at least ya didn't make altar boys out of any of 'em.
