And the little girl began to cry as if her heart would break. "Stop! Stop!" begged the Scarecrow, while Sir Hokus awkwardly patted Dorothy on the back. "I'd rather have you for my family any day. I don't care a Kinkajou for being Emperor, and as for my sons, they are unnatural villains who make my life miserable by telling me how old I am!"
The settle had arrived and hit them smartly behind the knees. The Cowardly Lion dodged just in time and lay down with a growl beside it. "Now that you're settled," began the King in a resigned voice, "we might try again. What is your motto?" This took even Sir Hokus by surprise, but before he could answer, the King snapped out: "Come late and stay early! How's that?"
Although it was almost noonday, not a ray of sun penetrated through the dim green depths. "Methinks," said Sir Hokus, peering into the gloom ahead, "that a great adventure is at hand." The Cowardly Lion put back his ears. "What makes you methink so?" he rumbled anxiously. "Hark thee!" said Sir Hokus, holding up his finger warningly. From a great way off sounded a curious thumping.
"I do everything at Random, and he does everything at memorandum." "It must be rather confusing," said Dorothy. Then as she caught sight of the Cowardly Lion dragging Sir Hokus, she jumped up excitedly. Ran, however, took one look at the huge beast and then fled, calling for Mem at the top of his voice. And that is the last Dorothy saw of these singular twins.
Dorothy, Sir Hokus and the Cowardly Lion had been too interested to speak, but at this minute a whole flock of the mischievous lanterns clustered over their heads, and at the sudden blare of light the whole street stopped eating and stared. "Oh!" cried the Fix nearest them, pointing with his fork, "Look at the runabouts!" "This way, please! This way, please! Don't bark your shins.
"I've been here long enough to know that I am a better Scarecrow than an Emperor." "Why, how simple it is!" sighed Dorothy contentedly. "Professor Wogglebug was all wrong. It's not what you were, but what you are it's being yourself that counts." "By my Halidom, the little maid is right!" said Sir Hokus, slapping his knee in delight. "Let your Gheewizard but try his transformations! Out on him!
"And if anything goes wrong, will you help me out?" questioned Happy uncertainly. "We'll look in the Magic Picture of Oz every month," declared Dorothy, "and if you need us we'll surely find some way to help you." "An' you ever require a trusty sword, Odds Bodikins!" exclaimed Sir Hokus, pressing Tappy's hand, "I'm your man!" "All right, dear Master!"
"You shall be my own true Knight, and I your Lady Fair!" she announced solemnly, and exactly as she had read in books. At this interesting juncture the Cowardly Lion gave a tremendous yawn, and Sir Hokus with an exclamation of alarm jumped to his feet. The Pokes had returned to the hall, and Dorothy felt herself falling asleep again. Up, up, my lieges and away!
Then, before Dorothy or Sir Hokus had time to way a word, they were snatched up in sticky fingers and next minute were dropped with a thump in a large field of daisies. "Oh!" spluttered Dorothy as the giant made off on his taffy legs. "Oh, we've forgotten the Cowardly Lion!" But at that minute, the giant reappeared, and the lion was dropped beside them. "What's this?
Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion pressed close behind him and waited impatiently for someone to open the gate. A bell rang loud back in the town. The next instant, the gates flew open so suddenly that the three adventurers were flung violently on their faces. "Out upon them!" blustered Sir Hokus, getting up stiffly and running to help Dorothy. "What way is this to welcome strangers?"
