    Gypsies also come in flat carts or in caravans. They go round to the houses selling lace and telling fortunes. Old women with carts often come as well. They give cups and saucers in return for old clothes. An old man often comes and sleeps at the dumping-ground. he makes paper propellers on sticks and sells them the next day for jam-jars and whiskey bottles. He does not bring any food with him but buys it in the town.
