go around the houses

On Fridays two boys aged 13-14 went around the houses collecting money to buy new books and pay for the rebinding of the old ones.

Some of the girls who hadn't been involved in decorating the Maypole had taken the boughs and gone around the houses of the Keldara, hanging them from the doorways until the entire village was decked in green.

We'd had this information came in, and I thought rather than going around the houses and knowing that Piers knew Ulrika and her agent well, I thought - and he did this quite regularly.
