- Long ago that is about seventy to one hundred years ago beggars were plentiful. Some of them carried baskets, and sold lots of useful articles such as pins, needles, thread porringers etc. Others again begged their way and stopped in one house
to-night and another to-morrow. No one refused them a nights lodging for it was not right they thought then. There was a shake down put for them in a corner beside the fire.

They had queer names.
