"
Being
your
friends
and
relatives
,
Princess
Dorothy
,
they
are
certainly
distinguished
,
"
replied
the
Ruler
,
with
a
smile
.
242
"
They
-
-
they
won
t
hardly
know
what
to
make
of
all
your
splendid
furniture
and
things
,
"
protested
Dorothy
,
gravely
.
"
It
may
scare
em
to
see
your
grand
Throne
Room
,
an
p
raps
we
d
better
go
into
the
back
yard
,
Ozma
,
where
the
cabbages
grow
an
the
chickens
are
playing
.
Then
it
would
seem
more
natural
to
Uncle
Henry
and
Aunt
Em
.
"
243
"
No
;
they
shall
first
see
me
in
my
Throne
Room
,
"
replied
Ozma
,
decidedly
;
and
when
she
spoke
in
that
tone
Dorothy
knew
it
was
not
wise
to
oppose
her
,
for
Ozma
was
accustomed
to
having
her
own
way
.

So
together
they
went
to
the
Throne
Room
,
an
immense
domed
chamber
in
the
center
of
the
palace
.
Here
stood
the
royal
throne
,
made
of
solid
gold
and
encrusted
with
enough
precious
stones
to
stock
a
dozen
jewelry
stores
in
our
country
.
245
Ozma
,
who
was
wearing
the
Magic
Belt
,
seated
herself
in
the
throne
,
and
Dorothy
sat
at
her
feet
.
246
In
the
room
were
assembled
many
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
court
,
clothed
in
rich
apparel
and
wearing
fine
jewelry
.
Two
immense
animals
squatted
,
one
on
each
side
of
the
throne
-
-
the
Cowardly
Lion
and
the
Hungry
Tiger
.
In
a
balcony
high
up
in
the
dome
an
orchestra
played
sweet
music
,
and
beneath
the
dome
two
electric
fountains
sent
sprays
of
colored
perfumed
water
shooting
up
nearly
as
high
as
the
arched
ceiling
.
247
"
Are
you
ready
,
Dorothy
?
"
asked
the
Ruler
.

"
I
am
,
"
replied
Dorothy
;
"
but
I
don
t
know
whether
Aunt
Em
and
Uncle
Henry
are
ready
.
"
249
"
That
won
t
matter
,
"
declared
Ozma
.
"
The
old
life
can
have
very
little
to
interest
them
,
and
the
sooner
they
begin
the
new
life
here
the
happier
they
will
be
.
Here
they
come
,
my
dear
!
"
250
As
she
spoke
,
there
before
the
throne
appeared
Uncle
Henry
and
Aunt
Em
,
who
for
a
moment
stood
motionless
,
glaring
with
white
and
startled
faces
at
the
scene
that
confronted
them
.
If
the
ladies
and
gentlemen
present
had
not
been
so
polite
I
am
sure
they
would
have
laughed
at
the
two
strangers
.
