Having arranged affairs so satisfactorily, the Scarecrow embraced Happy
Toko with deep emotion. Dorothy and Sir Hokus shook hands with him and
wished him every success and happiness. Then the little party from Oz
walked deliberately to the bean pole in the center of the hall.
The Silver Islanders were still a bit dazed by the turn affairs had taken and
stared in astonishment as the Scarecrow and Sir Hokus fastened thick ropes
around the Cowardly Lion, the Doubtful Dromedary and the Comfortable
Camel. Similar ropes they tied around their own waists and Dorothy's, and
the ends of all were fastened securely to the handle of the magic parasol,
which Dorothy held carefully.

"
Goodbye, everybody!" called the little girl, suddenly opening the parasol.
Goodbye!" cried the genial Scarecrow, waving his hand.
Too stupefied for speech, the assemblage gaped with amazement as the
party floated gently upward. Up--up--and out of sight whirled the entire
party.
