"Were you born in Spain, Pablo?"
"Not sure, but I think so. First recollect myself in that country."
"Do you recollect your father?"
"No; never see him."
"Did your mother never talk about him?"
"Call her mother, but think no mother at all. Custom with Gitanas."
"Why did you call her mother?"
"'Cause she feed me when little, beat me when I get big."
"All mothers do that. What made you come to England?"
"I don't know, but I hear people say, plenty of money in
England—plenty to eat—plenty to drink; bring plenty money back to
Spain."
