- Travelling people still call to my home. They are going around for many years. They are very poor. They sell all kinds of articles such as laces, pins, soap, balls of camphor cards of studs, and brooches. Which are very useful for country people especially those who are far from the town. All the people buy from them. They buy all from these things from wool-worts. They are welcome at every house. They remain a week every place they go. They sleep in caravans and in hay. The names are king of tramps, Jack Allen, and Carthy the tinkers. They come around after Easter and fair days. They bring news from the places they would be after visiting.
