Next day the festivities continued, and all day long Peter's old chums / and acquaintances were calling at the palace, while the celebrities / outdid one another to make things pleasant for Belfaygor and his bride. / At noon they rode off on the Saw Horse, for the baron was anxious to / return to his castle. Peter bade the baron goodbye and promised to pay / him a long visit on his next trip to Oz, to ride the horse Belfaygor / agreed to keep for him and even wear the armor the baron had promised / him as a reward for rescuing the Princess.
Snif spent a happy morning in the royal stable with the famous beasts / of Oz and they listened so politely to his experiences he decided to / stay on indefinitely at the capitol. The pirate's sack was locked up / in the Wizard's strong box and the magic dinner bell stored with the / other treasures of the realm, for as Ozma remarked to Dorothy it would / be mighty handy for picnics and unexpected visitors. The Fraid Cats / and Statues in Scare City were released from their enchantment by the / Wizard's long distance magic and Peter and Snif, looking in the magic / picture, had the satisfaction of watching them return to their various / homes.
