    An old travelling man visits our district a couple of times in the year. His name is Ryan. He sells small articles such as laces, whangs, Polish, and other goods. They buy there articles in the cheap Bazzar shops int he City. They stay in the nearest lodging house in the district. They sleep in a made up bed in the kitchen near the fire the alms they accept through the day. They buy food and drink for it.
