Perhaps no one ever beheld a more strangely assorted group than the one
which now walked along the road, through pretty green fields and past groves
of feathery pepper-trees and fragrant mimosa. Polychrome, her beautiful
gauzy robes floating around her like a rainbow cloud, went first, dancing back
and forth and darting now here to pluck a wild-flower or there to watch a
beetle crawl across the path. Toto ran after her at times, barking joyously the
while, only to become sober again and trot along at Dorothy's heels. The little
Kansas girl walked holding Button-Bright's hand clasped in her own, and the
wee boy with his fox head covered by the sailor hat presented an odd
appearance. Strangest of all, perhaps, was the shaggy man, with his shaggy
donkey head, who shuffled along in the rear with his hands thrust deep in his
big pockets.
None of the party was really unhappy. All were straying in an unknown land
and had suffered more or less annoyance and discomfort; but they realized
they were having a fairy adventure in a fairy country, and were much
interested in finding out what would happen next.
