"Won't Dorothy and Ozma be surprised when we turn up at the palace? " / Taking a running jump, Peter cleared a tree and then hurried back to / help Jack Pumpkinhead across.
"I'll be surprised myself," said Jack, stepping solemnly over the log. / "Here we are at the end of this wood and no signs of the Emerald City / at all. Do you see anything green, Peter? " Peter shook his head, for as / far as the eye could reach there was nothing but rocks and sand, tinged / with the rusty red of the Quadling Country.
