Rumour has sometimes whispered of nets kept in Bibury and elsewhere, and of midnight raids on the neighbouring preserves; but though I have walked down the bank on many a summer night, I have never once come upon anything suspicious, not even a night-line. The Gloucestershire native is an honest man.
Beneath the cliffs hereabouts, the river was extremely broad and deep. My servant thought it a good place for fishing and accordingly set a night-line, one end of which he fastened to the bough of a tree.
He argued, as he explained at his trial for murder, 'If this man is the genuine article, well and good, no harm done. If he is not well, it's a good riddance! On repairing to the spot next morning, and pulling up his night-line, he found that the magician had failed to 'make his magic good, and was quite dead. The constable's punishment was twelve months' hard labour.
