   There are many travellers that come occasionally around this district.
   Mrs Wall comes nearly every year to our door, selling holy pictures, cups, and saucers, plates, linoleum, mats, and carpets, and other small ornaments.
   She is not a tinker, because she never asks us for clothes, nor footwear, but we give her sugar, butter, tea, and often eggs if we could afford them.
   She was our next door neighbour when we were living in Holywood.
   The rent, and rates were too high, and she was evicted from her home.
   She bought a caravan, so that she would be cosy, travelling around from place to place.
   She gathers up horse-hair, feathers, and rabbit skins, and rags of every description, and it is by that, she earns her living.
   Gypsies also come around this locality fortune-telling.
   One time a gypsy told my grand-mother, she would get married very young, and she would have fifteen children, and that one of them would die.
   Also that her husband would die, and it all came true.
