What
if
we
fail
?
"
enquired
the
Scarecrow
.
"
I
d
look
nice
as
a
piece
of
bric
-
a
-
brac
,
wouldn
t
I
?

"
We
must
not
fail
!
"
cried
Ozma
,
courageously
.
"
Having
come
all
this
distance
to
free
these
poor
people
,
it
would
be
weak
and
cowardly
in
us
to
abandon
the
adventure
.
Therefore
I
will
accept
the
Nome
King
s
offer
,
and
go
at
once
into
the
royal
palace
.
"
853
"
Come
along
,
then
,
my
dear
,
"
said
the
King
,
climbing
down
from
his
throne
with
some
difficulty
,
because
he
was
so
fat
;
"
I
ll
show
you
the
way
.

He
approached
a
wall
of
the
cave
and
waved
his
hand
.
Instantly
an
opening
appeared
,
through
which
Ozma
,
after
a
smiling
farewell
to
her
friends
,
boldly
passed
.
855
She
found
herself
in
a
splendid
hall
that
was
more
beautiful
and
grand
than
anything
she
had
ever
beheld
.
The
ceilings
were
composed
of
great
arches
that
rose
far
above
her
head
,
and
all
the
walls
and
floors
were
of
polished
marble
exquisitely
tinted
in
many
colors
.
Thick
velvet
carpets
were
on
the
floor
and
heavy
silken
draperies
covered
the
arches
leading
to
the
various
rooms
of
the
palace
.
856
The
furniture
was
made
of
rare
old
woods
richly
carved
and
covered
with
delicate
satins
,
and
the
entire
palace
was
lighted
by
a
mysterious
rosy
glow
that
seemed
to
come
from
no
particular
place
but
flooded
each
apartment
with
its
soft
and
pleasing
radiance
.
857
Ozma
passed
from
one
room
to
another
,
greatly
delighted
by
all
she
saw
.
The
lovely
palace
had
no
other
occupant
,
for
the
Nome
King
had
left
her
at
the
entrance
,
which
closed
behind
her
,
and
in
all
the
magnificent
rooms
there
appeared
to
be
no
other
person
.

Upon
the
mantels
,
and
on
many
shelves
and
brackets
and
tables
,
were
clustered
ornaments
of
every
description
,
seemingly
made
out
of
all
sorts
of
metals
,
glass
,
china
,
stones
and
marbles
.
There
were
vases
,
and
figures
of
men
and
animals
,
and
graven
platters
and
bowls
,
and
mosaics
of
precious
gems
,
and
many
other
things
.
Pictures
,
too
,
were
on
the
walls
,
and
the
underground
palace
was
quite
a
museum
of
rare
and
curious
and
costly
objects
.
859
After
her
first
hasty
examination
of
the
rooms
Ozma
began
to
wonder
which
of
all
the
numerous
ornaments
they
contained
were
the
transformations
of
the
royal
family
of
Ev
.
There
was
nothing
to
guide
her
,
for
everything
seemed
without
a
spark
of
life
.
So
she
must
guess
blindly
;
and
for
the
first
time
the
girl
came
to
realize
how
dangerous
was
her
task
,
and
how
likely
she
was
to
lose
her
own
freedom
in
striving
to
free
others
from
the
bondage
of
the
Nome
King
.
No
wonder
the
cunning
monarch
laughed
good
naturedly
with
his
visitors
,
when
he
knew
how
easily
they
might
be
entrapped
.
860
But
Ozma
,
having
undertaken
the
venture
,
would
not
abandon
it
.
