  1. Travelling Folk - Sherlock and Judy

    Share Share Post
    My father told me that there were two beggars named Sherlock and Judy who used to come round asking lodgings in our house and in the other houses of the village. One night they lodged in our house. At daybreak they went home. Sherlock was blind and Judy had to lead him everywhere he went.
