    “The travelling man I know best is Paddy Walshe.”

    Share Share Post
    The travelling man I know best is Paddy Walshe. He is a low-sized man wearing glasses. People call him Paddy the Irish man because he speaks Irish.
    He travels through the country by day and sleeps at a lodging house by night.
    People are very fond of him and do not let him go away without giving him something. He many get a couple of pence or a pair of old boots at some houses and maybe an old suit of clothes.
