"It is evident that we need fear these puffed-up creatures no longer, so be kind enough to unfasten our bonds and we will proceed upon our journey." Woot untied the bonds of the Scarecrow and helped him to his feet. Then he freed the Tin Woodman, who got up without help.
"Sire," said he, "I must sorrowfully confess that the great Gottsched has covered his head with a little too much of the dust of learning; he is too much of the pedant." "He is a puffed-up conceited fool," said the king, impatiently; "and you can never convince me that he is a great genius.
The Saturday this patriotic offer was recorded in his newspaper 'On inquiry at S. Cohn's, the great clothing purveyor of the Holloway Road, our representative was informed that no less than five of the young men were taking advantage of their employer's enthusiasm for England and the Empire' the already puffed-up Solomon had the honour of being called to read in the Law, and first as befitted the sons of Aaron.
