- (continued from previous page)There was a great feast held in three houses which had to overflow to the surrounding fields as few houses in those days could hold over a hundred guests. Then they danced, drank and sang to their hearts content, until finally, quarrels became the order of the day. and became so violent that those in whose homes the spree was being held, ordered all out. The guests departed, each praising his own greatness & at the same time cursing their enemies. So ended a famous tinker wedding.
