"
Perhaps you are right," returned the King, with a dismal sigh. "But I
want it distinctly understood that I claim Ozma and Dorothy as my own
prisoners. They are rather nice girls, and I do not intend to let any of
those dreadful creatures hurt them, or make them their slaves. When I
have captured them I will bring them here and transform them into
china ornaments to stand on my mantle. They will look very pretty--
Dorothy on one end of the mantle and Ozma on the other--and I shall
take great care to see they are not broken when the maids dust them."
"
Very well, your Majesty. Do what you will with the girls for all I care.
Now that our plans are arranged, and we have the three most powerful
bands of evil spirits in the world to assist us, let us make haste to get the
tunnel finished as soon as possible."
"
It will be ready in three days," promised the King, and hurried away to
inspect the work and see that the Nomes kept busy.
