That

night

Dorothy

slept

in

a

pleasant

little

bed

-

chamber

next

to

that

occupied

by

Ozma

of

Oz

,

and

Billina

perched

upon

the

foot

of

the

bed

and

tucked

her

head

under

her

wing

and

slept

as

soundly

in

that

position

as

did

Dorothy

upon

her

soft

cushions

.

But

before

daybreak

every

one

was

awake

and

stirring

,

and

soon

the

adventurers

were

eating

a

hasty

breakfast

in

the

great

dining

-

room

of

the

palace

.

Ozma

sat

at

the

head

of

a

long

table

,

on

a

raised

platform

,

with

Dorothy

on

her

right

hand

and

the

Scarecrow

on

her

left

.

The

Scarecrow

did

not

eat

,

of

course

;

but

Ozma

placed

him

near

her

so

that

she

might

ask

his

advice

about

the

journey

while

she

ate

.

Lower

down

the

table

were

the

twenty

-

seven

warriors

of

Oz

,

and

at

the

end

of

the

room

the

Lion

and

the

Tiger

were

eating

out

of

a

kettle

that

had

been

placed

upon

the

floor

,

while

Billina

fluttered

around

to

pick

up

any

scraps

that

might

be

scattered

.

It

did

not

take

long

to

finish

the

meal

,

and

then

the

Lion

and

the

Tiger

were

harnessed

to

the

chariot

and

the

party

was

ready

to

start

for

the

Nome

King

’

s

Palace

.

First

rode

Ozma

,

with

Dorothy

beside

her

in

the

golden

chariot

and

holding

Billina

fast

in

her

arms

.

Then

came

the

Scarecrow

on

the

Sawhorse

,

with

the

Tin

Woodman

and

Tiktok

marching

side

by

side

just

behind

him

.

After

these

tramped

the

Army

,

looking

brave

and

handsome

in

their

splendid

uniforms

.

The

generals

commanded

the

colonels

and

the

colonels

commanded

the

majors

and

the

majors

commanded

the

captains

and

the

captains

commanded

the

private

,

who

marched

with

an

air

of

proud

importance

because

it

required

so

many

officers

to

give

him

his

orders

And

so

the

magnificent

procession

left

the

palace

and

started

along

the

road

just

as

day

was

breaking

,

and

by

the

time

the

sun

came

out

they

had

made

good

progress

toward

the

valley

that

led

to

the

Nome

King

’

s

domain

.

The

road

led

for

a

time

through

a

pretty

farm

country

,

and

then

past

a

picnic

grove

that

was

very

inviting

.

But

the

procession

continued

to

steadily

advance

until

Billina

cried

in

an

abrupt

and

commanding

manner

:

"

Wait

-

-

wait

!

"

Ozma

stopped

her

chariot

so

suddenly

that

the

Scarecrow

’

s

Sawhorse

nearly

ran

into

it

,

and

the

ranks

of

the

army

tumbled

over

one

another

before

they

could

come

to

a

halt

.

Immediately

the

yellow

hen

struggled

from

Dorothy

’

s

arms

and

flew

into

a

clump

of

bushes

by

the

roadside

.
