Must be some kind of trick." Graham was crestfallen. He was just not prepared to accept such a dismal opinion. "Oh, no! I'm sure you're mistaken. They wouldn't have a sign like that if there was no airport there." "Well, I hate to say I told you so. But you'll see when we get there that there's nothing there," Telly said emphatically.

I only sketch a little and once in a while make an effort to put a sketch that is of interest on canvas. All I can tell is when one looks life-like; for instance," pointing to it, "that shipwreck scene. It is wonderfully well done. Did you paint it from a real wreck?" Telly colored.

I remember a time years ago when the Wizard did a similar trick with some troublesome Imps. He made them into buttons which would change color when they repented." "Yes," said Ozma. "As for you, friend Telly, I am sure you will become fast friends with the Tin Woodman and Tik-Tok. The two of them are upstairs right now, admiring their similarities and differences.

It may have been the pain in his face added to her own desolation that overcame all else, for now she bowed her head and the tears came. "I thank you for so much, Telly," he answered tenderly, "and God bless you for it. I do not give you up and shall not, if I have to wait all my life for you. I can be patient if I only have hope."

I just meant that she was willing to spend her life sucking on trank, watching Telly, and living on the pittance income from the unalienable stock shares issued her at birth. But let's get to this religious curd. Son, whatever con man first thought up the idea of gods put practically the whole human race on the sucker list.

Max pursed his lips. "I never seen him out of uniform before. Lots of times on Telly, but never out of uniform. I thought he was taller than that." "He fights with his brains," Joe said, still looking after the craggy field marshal. "He doesn't have to be any taller." Max scowled. "Where'd he ever get that nickname, sir?" "Stonewall?" Joe was turning to resume his chair and magazine.

"The boy's not all dressed in yellow, so he's not a Winkie." "Nor is he all in blue, like a Munchkin." "Or purple, red, or green. He matches none of the Oz colors. I wonder where he came from." "Maybe he's from Ev. Or Ix." "Can you speak, boy?" Graham struggled to sit up, while Telly just stood and glared at the beasts.

"Yeah," he said, "but maybe the torero was forced into becoming a bullfighter on account of how bad he needed the money." In the heat of the discussion, he was emboldened to add, "And these new Rank Privates that go into a fracas, not knowing what it's all about, just filled with all the stuff we see on Telly and all.

Securing a passport for a Middle's trip, not to speak of a Lower's, involved such endless bureaucratic red tape as to be nonsensical. Nadine said to Joe's batman, "What did you expect, Max?" "Well, I don't know, Miss Haer. I mean, Dr. Haer. Kind of gloomier, like. Shucks, I've seen this here town on Telly a dozen times." "And seeing is believing," Joe muttered cynically.

That meant absolutely nothing to Max Mainz, so he took it out by awarding the Telly reporter with a rare combination of glower and sneer. Freddy said, "Oh, oh, here they come, Joe." However, he kept his head low, storing away his equipment, and seemingly ignored the approach of the three distinctive uniformed officers.
