  1. Travelling folk call to my home very often. The most common tht I know best are the OBriens the Coffeys and the Sheridans. They stay about one night in every house. The gypsies don't ever content themselves any-where. They always want to be moving around from place to place in their caravans. They would never give you any information about anything.
    They always ask for alms. Some of sell laces, tie-studs, and buttons, and as great many other things. They make gallons, saucepans and little tables and sell them to make profit.
