Dorothy turned to the shaggy man, and her face was grave and reproachful.
"
Are you a magician? or a fairy in disguise?" she asked. "Did you enchant me
when you asked the way to Butterfield?"
The shaggy man shook his head.
"
Who ever heard of a shaggy fairy?" he replied. "No, Dorothy, my dear; I'm not
to blame for this journey in any way, I assure you. There's been something
strange about me ever since I owned the Love Magnet; but I don't know what
it is any more than you do. I didn't try to get you away from home, at all. If
you want to find your way back to the farm I'll go with you willingly, and do
my best to help you."
"
Never mind," said the little girl, thoughtfully. "There isn't so much to see in
Kansas as there is here, and I guess Aunt Em won't be VERY much worried;
that is, if I don't stay away too long."
"
That's right," declared the Fox-King, nodding approval. "Be contented with
your lot, whatever it happens to be, if you are wise. Which reminds me that
you have a new companion on this adventure--he looks very clever and
bright."
"
"
He is," said Dorothy; and the shaggy man added:
That's his name, your Royal Foxiness--Button-Bright."
