    the Mohans and Sherlocks. They come on fair days once or twice a month begging for all sorts of things. Most of them do not bring any food but beg for bread, eggs, meat, and also turf for a fire, and many other things. Some of them go round in vans and others on foot. Most of them sleep in vans and others sleep on the side of the road, or make small tents with sticks and covers. They sell cans, pictures and other small articles which they make themselves. Then they go into the town and get drunk both men and women and start to fight with one another.
