    The tinkers go around in crowds. Their property is a few carts, a few horses, a goat or two a few greyhounds to protect them and lot of asses for selling. One day I saw 20 asses with them. They pitch their tents down a small road and they let their animals out to graze. They light their fire with turf and they boil their kettle by sticking a bit of iron into a ditch and by hanging the kettle from it. One day I saw them have cheese for their supper.
