    Some of them are welcome but others of them are not. They come mostly in the Summer time as it is the warmest part of the year for travelling. Some of them when they come ask for a great many things but others of them only ask for a few things. The tramps especially ask for a great many things such as tea, sugar, milk and bread. Sometimes it is very difficult to get them away from the house. If they did not get what they ask for they would keep on begging.
    Some of the travelling people dress very badly but others of them dress nicely. The tinkers and tramps are the ones that dress badly
