When beggars stay for a night in a house the people of my locality go to that house to hear them telling stories and to listen to the news they bring from other places. If the travelling people in my locality stayed at a farmer's house for a night or two, the owners of the house would give them a shilling or two when they would be leaving on the next day.
Another traveller who used to come to my locality was called Thadeen Crane. This man had a "magic lantern" for showing pictures and he used to charge a penny to each person for a look at the pictures. The young children used to call it a "ppep show". This man is dead for a number of years.
Another man who comes to my locality is "busty" Flynn
