    her husband returned home in the evening he asked for the money. She said that she gave the five pounds to a man who had a sore foot. The man was so disgusted that he made up his mind to go away and told the woman to come on too, and to pull the door out after her. She pulled the door off the hinges and dragged it after her down the road and left it there.
