    Buying and Selling
    Shops were very plenty years ago. The people used to buy all they wanted after Mass on Sundays
    They used not barter in this district long ago
    Peddlars and hucksters used to go from house to house selling and they still go around selling
    The peddlars used to sell clothes and the hucksters used to sell cups and states and other things
