    Travelling Folk
    Travelling people still call to my home. The same people have been doing so for many years. There are some very poor travelling people. The travelling people sell small articles. They are not allowed to beg. People buy from them. They obtain their supplies in Dublin. They are not welcome. They remain for longer than a night. They sleep in caravans and canvas tents. They have food with them. They accept bread, milk and money.
    Some travel on foot.
