Some of those people have been coming to the houses for a number of years. They are all very poor and live on the charity of the people. Some of them sell a lot of small things - pins, laces, brooches, tie-pins, studs, lace, pictures, cotton; others sell tin vessels which they make themselves. Some people buy from them. In the towns they pass through they get their supplies. They are not always welcome. In some places they get a nights lodging but some have caravans of their own where they sleep. People give them alms either in the shape of money or of food.
