    would beg all in the house or even want money.
    These travellers generally live along the road-side and are let stay no longer than a day or a night as they would destroy the fences and hedges. The women folk of those travellers are fortune tellers. On a fair day in a town are usually trying to tell people their fortunes in order to earn a few pence. Then when they have the money earned they are likely to drink it and argue and fight.
