    ditch and go to sleep. There is a very well known band of tinkers named the Mac Carthys who steal and destroy and then run away. They visit it most because they get the most help, but they got a fright one day when my mother and father hunted them. They come no special time or hour. They do not tell stories here but they very often play music and dance, and, I tell you people do not listen to them. There is a small line about tinkers which people say "They would pick the eye out of ones head".
