On reaching Basle, Joey is surprised when she finds Jack has arranged for her to stay with Frieda for a few days, until the furniture reaches their new home. Here she catches up with her old friend, meeting Frieda's youngest, Carlotta, for the first time and finding the eldest, Gretchen, to be very frail following an attack of measles.
Arriving at the Görnetz Platz they find the furniture has arrived early, forcing them to decide on the rooms in the new house, formerly a pension, very quickly.
Con starts sleep-walking again, and ends up on the roof over the front door, causing Jo a great deal of difficulty when it comes to getting the terrified girl down. An insecure ladder results in Joey ending up in a thorn bush whilst Con rolls off the roof onto the ever faithful Anna.
Phil and Hilary Graves (once Hilary Burn) are at the Platz as Phil is to work at the San.
The new house is to be called "Freudesheim", which roughly means "Happy Home".
