   Tramps call to our hosue in Monadiha, Rathgormack, Co. Waterford sometimes. Their names are Paddy Kildare, and Paddy Shea. Paddy Kildare walks from Kildare. Paddy Shea walks from Tipperary. There are the prayers they say when they get food and other things "God bless you". "May you always have enough." They sell a lot of things such as pins, camphor, and broaches. They stay only a few nights. They spend the night telling stories about themselves and sometimes they tell ghost stories.
