It was Toto's actions that gave us the idea." "Oh, I guess he's there, all right the dog ought to know," said Jim Tracy. "He picked out the best hiding place in the whole tent. I guess it looked sort of like home to him." Indeed the space under the tank platform, with its canvas covering painted to resemble rocks, made an ideal hiding place.
The Scarecrow stuffed himself with fresh straw and Dorothy put new paint on his eyes that he might see better. The green girl, who was very kind to them, filled Dorothy's basket with good things to eat, and fastened a little bell around Toto's neck with a green ribbon.
"You ought to break yourself of the habit," said the Sawhorse. "You never hear me snore, because I never sleep. I don't even whinny as those puffy meat horses do. I wish that whoever stole Toto's growl had taken the Mule's bray and the Lion's roar and the Woozy's snore at the same time." "Do you think, then, that my growl was stolen?"
Toto's hairy hand appeared, grasping the golden wrist of the statue, as he raised himself to approach the hole. "He is a mason, as he says," said Masin, catching sight of the rough fingers. "Did you take me for a coachman?" enquired Toto, thrusting his shaggy head forward cautiously, and looking up through the aperture. "Before you come up here," Malipieri answered, "tell me how you got in."
Dorothy still wore the pretty silk dress she had put on in the palace, but now, to her surprise, she found it was no longer green, but pure white. The ribbon around Toto's neck had also lost its green color and was as white as Dorothy's dress. The Emerald City was soon left far behind.
At this Gigi laughed, for he knew that Toto's grandfather had been drowned in the "lost water" somewhere deep down under that spot, and had never been found. The two men drank in silence. After a long time Toto spoke again. "A woman," he said, with a shrug of the shoulders. "A woman drowned him?" asked Gigi. "How could a woman do it?" "A man did it. But it was for jealousy of a woman."
It was, therefore, with a simulated air of ease that he answered, "I was waiting for you, sir, and it was out of respect to you that I put on my very best togs." "That was very nice of you; I ought to thank you very much. And now, will you " Toto's courage was coming back to him rapidly. "Will you take a glass of beer, or a liquor of brandy, sir?" said he.
"Matter!" cried a rye loafer, indignantly, "why the horrid beast has eaten three of our dear Crumpets, and is now devouring a Salt-rising Biscuit!" "Oh, Toto! How could you?" exclaimed Dorothy, much distressed. Toto's mouth was full of his salt-rising victim; so he only whined and wagged his tail.
"Well, Polly, Toto's just a dog; but he has more sense than Button-Bright, to tell the truth; and I'm very fond of him." "So am I," said Polychrome, bending gracefully to pat Toto's head. "But how did the Rainbow's Daughter ever get on this lonely road, and become lost?" asked the shaggy man, who had listened wonderingly to all this.
"You don't seem to know anything, Button-Bright. Invis'ble is a thing you can't see." "Then Toto's invis'ble," declared the boy, and Dorothy found he was right. Toto had disappeared from view, but they could hear him barking furiously among the heaps of grey rock ahead of them.
