The

Nome

King

and

his

terrible

allies

sat

at

the

banquet

table

until

midnight

.

There

was

much

quarreling

between

the

Growleywogs

and

Phanfasms

,

and

one

of

the

wee

-

headed

Whimsies

got

angry

at

General

Guph

and

choked

him

until

he

nearly

stopped

breathing

.

Yet

no

one

was

seriously

hurt

,

and

the

Nome

King

felt

much

relieved

when

the

clock

struck

twelve

and

they

all

sprang

up

and

seized

their

weapons

.

"

Aha

!

"

shouted

the

First

and

Foremost

.

"

Now

to

conquer

the

Land

of

Oz

!

"

He

marshaled

his

Phanfasms

in

battle

array

and

at

his

word

of

command

they

marched

into

the

tunnel

and

began

the

long

journey

through

it

to

the

Emerald

City

.

The

First

and

Foremost

intended

to

take

all

the

treasures

of

Oz

for

himself

;

to

kill

all

who

could

be

killed

and

enslave

the

rest

;

to

destroy

and

lay

waste

the

whole

country

,

and

afterward

to

conquer

and

enslave

the

Nomes

,

the

Growleywogs

and

the

Whimsies

.

And

he

knew

his

power

was

sufficient

to

enable

him

to

do

all

these

things

easily

.

Next

marched

into

the

tunnel

the

army

of

gigantic

Growleywogs

,

with

their

Grand

Gallipoot

at

their

head

.

They

were

dreadful

beings

,

indeed

,

and

longed

to

get

to

Oz

that

they

might

begin

to

pilfer

and

destroy

.

The

Grand

Gallipoot

was

a

little

afraid

of

the

First

and

Foremost

,

but

had

a

cunning

plan

to

murder

or

destroy

that

powerful

being

and

secure

the

wealth

of

Oz

for

himself

.

Mighty

little

of

the

plunder

would

the

Nome

King

get

,

thought

the

Grand

Gallipoot

.

The

Chief

of

the

Whimsies

now

marched

his

false

-

headed

forces

into

the

tunnel

.

In

his

wicked

little

head

was

a

plot

to

destroy

both

the

First

and

Foremost

and

the

Grand

Gallipoot

.

He

intended

to

let

them

conquer

Oz

,

since

they

insisted

on

going

first

;

but

he

would

afterward

treacherously

destroy

them

,

as

well

as

King

Roquat

,

and

keep

all

the

slaves

and

treasure

of

Ozma

’

s

kingdom

for

himself

.

After

all

his

dangerous

allies

had

marched

into

the

tunnel

the

Nome

King

and

General

Guph

started

to

follow

them

,

at

the

head

of

fifty

thousand

Nomes

,

all

fully

armed

.

"

Guph

,

"

said

the

King

,

"

those

creatures

ahead

of

us

mean

mischief

.

They

intend

to

get

everything

for

themselves

and

leave

us

nothing

.

"

"

I

know

,

"

replied

the

General

;

"

but

they

are

not

as

clever

as

they

think

they

are

.

When

you

get

the

Magic

Belt

you

must

at

once

wish

the

Whimsies

and

Growleywogs

and

Phanfasms

all

back

into

their

own

countries

-

-

and

the

Belt

will

surely

take

them

there

.

"

"

Good

!

"

cried

the

King

.

"

An

excellent

plan

,

Guph

.

I

’

ll

do

it

.

While

they

are

conquering

Oz

I

’

ll

get

the

Magic

Belt

,

and

then

only

the

Nomes

will

remain

to

ravage

the

country

.
