NOTE.--The last twenty dates are thus arrived at. There are two
references to the lapse of a fortnight since June 29, which was the date
of Borrow's first visit to the public-house, and of Belle's first
Armenian lesson. 'In about a fortnight Belle had hung up 100 Haikan
numerals on the hake of her memory;' while the landlord, on the occasion
when he suggests a fight between Borrow and Belle, complains that Hunter
calls _him _an old fool, whereas a fortnight ago it was _he _who called
Hunter a fool. The date, then, of this last visit of Borrow's to the
public-house must have been on or about July 13. The defeat of the
landlord's game-cocks has been noised abroad for the past three days
(July 10, 11, 12), and since the landlord had referred ten days before to
the fact that the fight was about to come off on the following Wednesday,
it must have occurred on July 6. 'One day'--not necessarily the 14th or
15th, but this date is unimportant--the Man in Black revisits the dingle,
and then follow three uneventful days, on the last evening of which is
the great thunderstorm (July 18). Henceforward the daily record is plain
and straightforward, and definitely fixed by the mention of the Sunday on
which Borrow and the gypsies attend the church of M--.
