    Some of the travelling folk sell articles such as brooches, slides, necklaces, skirts, socks and stockings. Others sell artifical flowers and others sell delf. Most people buy some of these articles in order to help the poor travellers.
    Some of the travelling folk have nice caravans which are drawn by one or two horses. Some of these caravans seem to be fairly comfortable but yet I would not like to live in one of them. Others live in tents which are made of canvas and some of these are very cold. Sometimes the travelling folk have no fires in their tents or caravan.
