All too soon it was time to leave to catch the last busses and trams ‘home’ - not many of them got back before one that morning, quietly sneaking in so as not to wake up their hosts. Except Toddy. He spent some time experimenting with the house's light switches; the outside lights and inside lights apparently (to Toddy's brain) being worked by the switches on the wrong side of various sets of doors. This led to a lot of keys being rattled in locks, which didn't please the dog. Again.

Meanwhile the Schnee.. etc. was beginning to attack Chris, who felt right out of the game. Needless to say he cheered up later when everyone poured into the local Knaabe, where they amused themselves by heading the lamp, swinging it around, playing silly games with beer mats (refereed by John) and ordering a dozen beers at a time.
