Put The Interlopers back in order

Seven beats from our edition of The Interlopers by Saki, shuffled. Drag them, or use the arrows, until the story runs straight. No account, no streak to lose.

  1. The Inherited Feud Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym carry on a generations-old quarrel over a narrow, barren strip of disputed forest.
  2. The Stormy Hunt On a wild winter night Ulrich roams the woods, secretly hoping to find and kill his trespassing enemy.
  3. Face to Face The two men meet abruptly in the dark, each armed and each hesitating at the brink of murder.
  4. The Falling Beech A storm-loosened beech tree crashes down and pins both enemies to the ground, trapping them together.
  5. Threats to Truce After trading boasts about whose men will save them, Ulrich offers his wine and proposes peace.
  6. Newfound Friendship Georg accepts, the lifelong feud dissolves, and the men plan to help each other and call off the quarrel.
  7. The Wolves They shout for rescue and watch figures approach, only for Ulrich to realize the running shapes are wolves.
