Inside the house was a long wooden table where baskets of luscious berries and shiny fruit snuggled up to sizzling slices of fish laid out on leaves the size of dinner plates. Wooden goblets brimmed with unfamiliar juices.

“I never saw this much food in all my life,” said Red.

“It’s all yours,” said Eliza.

“Absolutely every crumb,” said Imogen.

“Ever since the days of our great-grandmother, we’ve laid a feast out here each day, ready for the return of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. And now she has returned. This is a great day. Please, eat . . .”

“What happened to all the food on all the thousands of days we never came?” asked Lucy.

“Every night the people came and ate it all. As they ate, they thanked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Even though she wasn’t there. The feast was her present to them.”

“Great-Grandmother’s painting helped us think of her,” said Imogen.

The wall was covered by a colourful painting. It showed a gorgeous old racing car with a handsome man at the wheel, an elegant woman next to him, and two pretty children in the backseat.
