    donkeys for old clothes rags and bottles.
    Dummies went from house to house making signs with their hands for what they wanted.
    Blind men led by dogs went from house to house and used to get lodgings in the poor people's cabins wherever the night happened to fall on them.
    Old women used spend a day in each house knitting and darning. An old woman who was nicknamed Nancy the Tay (Tea) used travel around like this and got her name because wherever she went she always asked for a sup of tea before she started work.
