    There are also men who travel by themselves. They live on charity alone. They travel in many places, and some of them bring news from place to place.
    The principal travellers who visit this district, are the McInerneys, Dalys and Delaneys. There are a good many others too. Some make tables. They make them from sticks and a board for the top. They cover them with tarpaulin. Some are thin-smiths and they make buckets, gallons pint tins and candle-sticks. There are travellers who exchange their goods for wool or horsehair or feathers. They never give their value.
