Montmorency attacks the cat ,chases it, but to utter surprise the cat dosent move just waits there for the dog to come near it (the dog) and stares at it.(the dog )
Montmorency get little bit frightened (as according to J ) and stops in midway and begins to back away slowly.
Near Hambledon lock, they run out of drinking water and the lock keeper advices them to drink water from river but they they are somewhat aware of "germs of poison" in Thames. So they decide to drink water from cottage but still are suspicious of it being river water's but still drink it and find "it did not taste bad "
