We have sought her in vain since that moment; and after what I have just told you of gypsies in general, you see that I must strongly suspect those whom you met of having stolen your pretty goat. " " Ah Caprice, my poor Caprice ! " cried Bathilde, bursting into tears; " it was my disobedience which caused your loss, and per- haps your death. " " I think, my child, " said M'me de Blinval, " that you need not fear this last misf...ortune for Caprice ; for the reason that the gypsies are accustomed to lead about among them some animal of this species, whom they teach to play tricks; these tricks are usually the most attractive part of their jugglery.
