Reassured on this point I prepared to defend myself boldly. The head man of the party appeared to be an old fellow with a short grey beard, who might have passed equally well in the uncertain light for a Wallach, a Slovene, a gipsy, or a Jew, but certainly not for an honest man of any race. Addressing my- self to the chief of the smugglers, as I conceived him to be, in Polish, I asked — ' Why have you dared to treat me like this ? ' ' He is a Pole ! ' The muttered exclamation 208 SECRET HISTORY... OF TO-DAY solved my doubt as to the race of the smugglers. The language they used between themselves was Romany. ' What were you doing in our wood ?
