  1. Beggars, tramps, tinkers and gipsies call at our house occasionally. It is the same people who always call. Their names are, Reillys, Murrays, Wards and they are mostly from Roscommon. Some of them sell small wares such as pictures, brushes, and artificial flowers. They buy the goods they sell from the shops. They always ask for charity and most of them prefer money and bits of meat.
