summary:
  There is one special side of this doctrine of Providence which must be referred to specially, because Borrow himself calls attention to it in the curious commentary which he annexed to The Romany Rye; the doctrine so familiar to the last generation in the poems of Browning, that trouble, to which man is born, as the sparks fly upward, is ordained by the Creator as a stimulus to endeavour, because where least man suffers, longest he remains. In thus calling to the soul of man not to lose its power of wonder, Borrow is in sympathy with the deepest thought of our time.

  She says that if he was not a Gypsy by blood he ought to have been one; she never liked him, thinking him more or less of a hypocrite, but nevertheless invited him to her house and tried to console him in his bereavement by a gentle tact which was not tact in Borrow's case: Poor old Borrow is in a sad state. As good men as yourself have eaten bread alone; they have been glad to get it, sir.
