THE LAST TIME WE SAW CHARLIE, he was riding high above his home town in the Great Glass Elevator Only a short while before, Mr. Wonka had told him that the whole gigantic fabulous Chocolate Factory was his. and now our small friend was returning in triumph with his entire family to take over. 11w passengers in the Elevator (just to remind you) were:

Charlie Bucket,
our hero.
Mr. Willy Wonka,
Chocolate-maker extraordinary.
Mr. and Mrs. Bucket,
Charlie’s father and mother.
Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine,
Mr. Bucket’s father and mother.
Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina,
Mrs. Bucket’s father and mother.
Grandma Josephine, Grandma Georgina and Grandpa George were still in bed, the bed having been pushed on board just before take off. Grandpa Joe, as you remember, had gotten out of bed to go around the Chocolate Factory with Charlie.
The Great Glass Elevator was a thousand feet up and cruising nicely. The sky was a brilliant blue. Everybody on board was wildly excited at the thought of going to live in the famous Cholocate Factory. Grandpa Joe was singing. Charlie was jumping up and down. Mr. and Mrs. Bucket were smiling for the first time in years, and the three old ones in the bed were grinning at once another with pink toothless gums.
“What in the world keeps this thing up in the air?” croaked Grandma Josephine.
“Skghooks,” said Mr. Wonka.
“You amaze me,” said Grandma Josephine.
“Dear lady,” said Mr. Wonka, “you are new to the scene. When you have been with us a little longer, nothing will amaze you.”
