“Travelling folk still come to our home.”
Travelling folk still come to our home. They do not come very often, and they are poor people. They sell pins, and laces, and tie pins, and other small things like that.
There is a man and he comes to our house. He always has a bag of bottles, and he sells laces and other things. He lives near the town of Tipperary, and he is very poor. I do not know his name. He likes to get porter bottles, and other big bottles. He travels on foot, and he goes around by himself.
There is another man and he comes to our house. He does not come very often. He sells laces, and studs. One time he used to have a box of things, but now he carries them in his hand.
