Passepartout therefore decided to wait several hours; and, as he was sauntering along, it occurred to him that he would seem rather too well dressed for a wandering artist. The idea struck him to change his garments for clothes more in harmony with his project; by which he might also get a little money to satisfy the immediate cravings of hunger.
Picaporte se decidió, en su consecuencia, a esperar algunas horas; pero mientras iba caminando, se le ocurrió que parecía demasiado bien vestido para un artista ambulante, y concibió entonces la idea de trocar su traje por unos guiñapos que estuviesen más en armonia con su posición.
