In a moment the door swung open, but no person was seen.
"Well!" exclaimed King.

"Nobody opened that door!" "We must walk in," said Midget.

"Father said so." "Oh, I hate to! We really haven't any right to go into a strange house like this!" "But Father said to! Come on!" And grasping King's hand, Midget urged him inside.

They stood in the middle of a pretty and attractively furnished hall, but saw or heard no people.
"Hello, Mr.Nobody!" said Marjorie, still clasping King's hand tightly, for the situation was a little weird.
"Hello, yourself!" responded a cheery voice, but they couldn't see any one.
The voice reassured King, and he said, humorously, "I see Nobody! How do you do, sir ?" "Quite well," answered the same voice, but it was a bit muffled, and they couldn't judge where it came from.

Also it sounded very gay and laughing, and Marjorie thought it seemed a bit familiar, though she couldn't place it.
"My father sent a message," went on King, sturdily.
