Polychrome

exclaimed

in

rapture

at

the

wondrous

beauty

that

met

her

eyes

on

every

side

as

they

rode

through

this

stately

and

imposing

City

,

the

equal

of

which

has

never

been

discovered

,

even

in

Fairyland

.

Button-Bright

could

only

say

"

My

!

"

so

amazing

was

the

sight

;

but

his

eyes

were

wide

open

and

he

tried

to

look

in

every

direction

at

the

same

time

,

so

as

not

to

miss

anything

.

The

shaggy

man

was

fairly

astounded

at

what

he

saw

,

for

the

graceful

and

handsome

buildings

were

covered

with

plates

of

gold

and

set

with

emeralds

so

splendid

and

valuable

that

in

any

other

part

of

the

world

any

one

of

them

would

have

been

worth

a

fortune

to

its

owner

.

The

sidewalks

were

superb

marble

slabs

polished

as

smooth

as

glass

,

and

the

curbs

that

separated

the

walks

from

the

broad

street

were

also

set

thick

with

clustered

emeralds

.

There

were

many

people

on

these

walks

--

men

,

women

and

children

--

all

dressed

in

handsome

garments

of

silk

or

satin

or

velvet

,

with

beautiful

jewels

.

Better

even

than

this

:

all

seemed

happy

and

contented

,

for

their

faces

were

smiling

and

free

from

care

,

and

music

and

laughter

might

be

heard

on

every

side

.

"

Do

n't

they

work

at

all

?

"

asked

the

shaggy

man

.

"

To

be

sure

they

work

,

"

replied

the

Tin

Woodman

;

"

this

fair

city

could

not

be

built

or

cared

for

without

labor

,

nor

could

the

fruit

and

vegetables

and

other

food

be

provided

for

the

inhabitants

to

eat

.

But

no

one

works

more

than

half

his

time

,

and

the

people

of

Oz

enjoy

their

labors

as

much

as

they

do

their

play

.

"

"

It

's

wonderful

!

"

declared

the

shaggy

man

.

"

I

do

hope

Ozma

will

let

me

live

here

.

"

The

chariot

,

winding

through

many

charming

streets

,

paused

before

a

building

so

vast

and

noble

and

elegant

that

even

Button-Bright

guessed

at

once

that

it

was

the

Royal

Palace

.

Its

gardens

and

ample

grounds

were

surrounded

by

a

separate

wall

,

not

so

high

or

thick

as

the

wall

around

the

City

,

but

more

daintily

designed

and

built

all

of

green

marble

.

The

gates

flew

open

as

the

chariot

appeared

before

them

,

and

the

Cowardly

Lion

and

Hungry

Tiger

trotted

up

a

jeweled

driveway

to

the

front

door

of

the

palace

and

stopped

short

.

"

Here

we

are

!

"

said

Dorothy

,

gaily

,

and

helped

Button-Bright

from

the

chariot

.

Polychrome

leaped

out

lightly

after

them

,

and

they

were

greeted

by

a

crowd

of

gorgeously

dressed

servants

who

bowed

low

as

the

visitors

mounted

the

marble

steps

.

At

their

head

was

a

pretty

little

maid

with

dark

hair

and

eyes

,

dressed

all

in

green

embroidered

with

silver

.

Dorothy

ran

up

to

her

with

evident

pleasure

,

and

exclaimed

:

"

O

,

Jellia

Jamb

!

I

'm

so

glad

to

see

you

again

.

Where

's

Ozma

?
