- Few travelling people visit my home nowadays. Those people have been doing so for a great many years. Some of those people sell small articles such as brooches, tin vessels, pictures etc. The natives very often buy from them. The travelling people always have food with them.They sometimes stay at houses over night when it is raining. There are none of those people very poor for they are always well dressed and have plenty to eat. They always travel about from house to house. They all have nick-names such as "Mad Pat", "Hairy Jack", "Friday" etc. I got this information from my father.
