It was Gren's idea - the humans are just taking credit for it.
They had a problem, being followed, and Ben solved that. Okay... now they might miss the train, but that is a different problem. One step at a time.

Well, now they just need to put those two halves together!
Never fear, there will soon be a freight train they can jump on.
At first I thought Eliza smashed her head on the panel border at the end, I may have read too many fourth-wall-breaking comics...
I like Ben's open-mindedness when answering critical questions: "If you're the expert, be my guest!" / "If you have a better idea, then by all means…!"
Ready for anything better than whatever he came up with! ;)
Most people would deliver this sarcastically, without any interest whatsoever in other opinions. Not Ben! He would like someone else to save the day now, please.
starts shaking people Please come up with a better idea!
As i recall, Harry, Sid, Wolfe and the O'Malley caught a goods train to Widdershins, didn't they?
Aha, the old carriage trick. Someone's been reading their Holmes
It would be funny if Mal got on the train and got off on the other side of the platform...
TOOT TOOOOOOOT
"Forgot about the train" indeed. A likely story. Don't think we don't recognise the old, 'Gosh, we've missed the last train, we'll have to spend the night together in a hotel' ploy Mr Thackerey!
The truth-block train has no breaks! :D
Underrated detail of page...confused horse having to engage in pursuit while still eating its lunch.
Oh so that's what it was! (and not because it doesn't want to get covid-19)
Honestly, in my limited experience with horses, I'm kind of surprised it went at all. Even well-trained horses are still animals with a mind of their own, and aren't eager to do what some stranger orders them to in the middle of their lunch break.
“I’m a genius!”
two seconds later
“I’m an idiot!”
I think I've also been hoodwinked! When did Eliza and Ben get off the blue carriage?
I think they climbed in one door, then straight out the other into the bushes. (I wonder if the driver of the carriage realizes that her passengers have disappeared...)
I just hope they paid forward.
It looks like Ben is paying her in panel 2.
Well, it's better than 12% of a plan!
