- Travelers call to our house still. They have been doing so for some years. Some are poor and more are not. The travelers sell small articles such as laces, brooches, religious pictures and papers with songs on them. They remain in the town or Parish for a night or two. The travelers go about in families and sometimes in bands. They sleep in caravans. The travelers come on certain feast days and on fair and market days. Some travelers tell Peoples fortunes.
