"'The lake was a sheet of beaten silver. The wind drove the clouds hard across the reluctant dawn sky and made a ceaseless dry hiss in the reeds and the alders, there were a few spots of cold rain in the air. Jamie Potten scrambled over the fence off the towpath and dropped on his belly. The hawthron brakes were too dense for even a boy to force his way through; but if you were small it was possible to crawl between the ancient black boles, beneath most of the thorns. Dragging his rod and his old canvas tackle bag beside him, he came to a sheer twelve-foot bank, and began to clamber down, finding handholds in the roots of the hazels that grew out from it. He dropped the last few feet, rolled, got up and squeezed his way through a thick belt of alders and sallows, and he was there."
