  1. Many tramps come to my house. One group very often. Their names are Delaneys and they are from Co. Kilkenny. They sell many articles and we buy many of those articles. They buy those articles and they carry them around with them in a car. When they come around they stay for two or three days and they sleep in vans which they bring around with them. They ask for alms and when they get the alms they say little rhymes. One of the rhymes they say is "Got made man, and man mad money, and money made bees and bees made honey." They tell many stories at night and many people come in to hear them.
