    Antony and Kitty Rainey were two beggars. Kitty was blind in one eye. They asked lodgers in every house they went into. Kitty died about six months ago.
    The Raineys are a family of tinkers who often comes to this district. There are two families of them, one of the families plays the fiddle. They make saucepans and cans. They ask tea, sugar or milk or flour in every house. If you give them sugar, tea or flour they say may the Lord have Mercy on all the souls belong to you. If you gave them milk they would say God bless the cow.
    The Mohans are another family of tinkers. They also make saucepans and cans like the Raineys.
