Episode 06

The Man with the Lamp’s wife set off from their cottage with a basket of vegetables to pay the Ferryman what the Will-o’-wisps owed him for taking them across the River. She had agreed to do this.

On the way she meets the Giant who takes from her basket some of the vegetables.

When the Ferryman sees insufficient vegetables to pay the debt he is displeased, will not accept them, but does offer her an alternative.

 In the Ferryman’s boat was a Youth of noble form and strange dress.
