Johnny felt something brush against his leg and when he felt down there he touched fur. “Here’s a kitten!” he cried, as he picked it up and held it upon his lap. All could hear the kitten purring as Johnny stroked its back, but it was invisible too.
There were only two plates upon the table when the visitors entered the dining room, but now five more plates seemed to place themselves.
“Everybody pull up chairs!” said the Invisible Man, as he caught hold of Gran’ma’s chair and tried to pull it towards the table. “Please excuse me,” he laughed when he felt the weight and knew that one of his guests was in it.
All pulled their chairs up to the table, Ella suggesting that the visitors be seated first so that she and Jules would know just where they were.
So all of the party presently were seated at the table and Ella brought in the food from the kitchen.
It was strange for Gran’pa, Gran’ma, the children and the Princess to see the dishes of food come floating in from the kitchen, and it seemed as strange for Jules and Ella to hear the voices of invisible guests and see their knives and forks rise from the table to cut their food.
When Jules had passed everything and all had helped themselves he asked where they were traveling and where they had come from.
“It’s a long story,” Gran’pa said.
Then Gran’ma told him of how they had come to the Moon, and why they were traveling to the City of Nite.
