There is one item that the spider won't allow you to bring 
to the time machine.  This is your alternate means of shipment.

spider - See above  
terrapin etc - Not that I know of

door - someone who can't speak has the code.
sweet - cheat : think smoke screens.
bar - you'll need grandad for this
locked doors - there's only one that's important (the one on the roof near the owl).

This is a really tough (but great !) game.
Try everything and for many cases, you'll have to take the wrong turn before finding out 
what you should have done.
