From Indigo's window a multicolored rope of knotted bedsheets came snaking out and ended among the cushions. As Micheal and Caddy watched, a mattress emerged and fell to the ground, followed by a rain of pillows." Indigo! " shouted Caddy, jumping out of the car. Indigo's and Rose's heads appeared in the window above." It's all right, Caddy! " Indigo called cheerfully. "We've been doing it all the time you've been gone.""

About This Quote
When Michael and Caddy were watching Indigo's house, all of the cushions, beanbags, quilts, hearth rugs, sleeping bags and so on had all appeared out of nowhere. It looked like a tidal wave had swept over the Banana House and carried everything back inside. The cushions were so heavy that they fell to the ground with a loud thud. As they watched, another mattress appeared.
