The girl replied, "Is it morning ?" (It is customary to clean the rooms early in the morning, and the girl made this reply late in the afternoon, when sufficient time had elapsed for the room to become dusty again.) 3.
The girl did not wash a cloth clean which the complainant gave her, and the complainant was obliged to wash it herself. 4.
