- There are several travelling folk about here. They generally come round in the summer time. When they come to our house they get tea. They never stay all night in our house. They always get some coppers. One of these men is called Mr Sweeney. He goes about from house to house. He sells brushes, spoons, and tie pins. Another one is called Mr Bonner. He gathers rags and sells clothes. He stops a night here and a night there. He goes about in a pony and car.
