  2. The tinkers that most frequently call to our house are the O'Briens, O'Caseys, and the O'Carthys. They sells little things such as saucepans, laces, studs, pins, and things. They also ask for charity no one refuses them for they are very poor. They have tents of their own, and they take them from place to place around the country.
