  1. A lot of tinkers call to our house.
    Some of them have things for sale.
    Their names are : Dorans, Cassidys, and O'Connor's. The Dorans sell milk-cans, milk-pans, and tea-drawers. They make those themselves. They also have small things such as holy-water-fonts hair-combs, hair-clips, prayer-books, shirt-studs, and tie-pins. They buy them in a shop called a "Haberdashery." The Cassidys do not sell much.
