I hom deia que un vianant noctambul havia vist Potter que es rentava en el rierol, cap a la una o les dues del matí, i que Potter s'havia escorregut enlla; sospitosa circumstancia, sobretot el rentar-se, que no era un costum en Potter.
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.
