гадалка [по имени английской гадалки XVI в.]Ladies, you talked of going to Hay Common to visit the gipsy camp; Sam, here, says that one of the old Mother Bunches is in the servants' hall at this moment, and insists upon being brought before the "quality" to tell them their fortunes. (Ch. Brontë, ‘Jane Eyre’, ch. XVIII) — Вот, сударыни, вы хотели отправиться в Хей посмотреть цыганский табор, а Сэр говорит, что в людской находится старуха-цыганка и просит, чтобы ее провели к "господам", она им погадает.
