And it was said that a belated citizen had come upon Potter washing himself in the "branch" about one or two o'clock in the morning, and that Potter had at once sneaked off--suspicious circumstances, especially the washing which was not a habit with Potter.
Azonkívül arról is meséltek, hogy valaki korán hajnalban, két óra körül látta Muff Pottert, amint a patakban mosdott. Csupa gyanús körülmény, különösen a mosdás, ami egyáltalán nem volt Potter szokása.
