An unexpected party

Roast mutton

A short rest

Over hill and under hill

Riddles in the dark

Out of the frying-pan into the fire

Queer lodgings

Flies and spiders

Barrels out of bond

A warm welcome

On the doorstep

Inside information

Not at home

Fire and water

The gathering of the clouds

A thief in the night

The clouds burst

The return journey

The last stage.
