Put The Body Snatcher back in order

Seven beats from our edition of The Body Snatcher by Robert Louis Stevenson, shuffled. Drag them, or use the arrows, until the story runs straight. No account, no streak to lose.

  1. The tavern fire Years later, the old drunkard Fettes recognizes the visiting Dr. Macfarlane and confronts him, setting the buried past loose.
  2. Mr. K's assistant Fettes recalls his youth receiving corpses for the anatomist Mr. K, paid for in cash and asking no questions.
  3. Jane Galbraith Fettes recognizes a delivered body as a woman alive the day before, realizing she was murdered, not exhumed.
  4. Pressured to silence Macfarlane talks Fettes into keeping quiet and accepting the money, binding him to the trade's evil.
  5. The body of Gray Macfarlane kills a man named Gray and delivers the corpse, making Fettes an accomplice to outright murder.
  6. Robbing a country grave Short of subjects, the two ride into the rainy night to dig up a freshly buried farmer's wife themselves.
  7. The thing in the gig On the dark road dread mounts, and by lantern light the body has transformed into the long-dead, murdered Gray.
