    Sheridan's Callaghans Coffees
    and OBriens.
    The Coffees are all red - haires. It was the OBrien's who called at William's. The gipsies earn their living by wickes work making tables and chairs, made of briars, especially out of the Ash tree. They buy rugs and mats from wholesale dealers, and then sell then at a big profit.
