A very tall man known as "Tom the beggar man" used to frequent this district. He wore long coats even in warm weather and walked with a peculiar springing step. His voice was very soft and his smile was perpetual.
He never troubled about money as the neighbours always provided a meal and a night's lodging in the barn.
