    Their food consisted of potatoes and fish. The fish they had was haak and ling. The master tailors who were treated better than the others were taken into the parlour where they got boiled milk and bread and butter. They usually used to stay in a house for a few days and if they had a new suit to make it took them a week. They were paid with money or else by potatoes.
