"Yes, the tin bodies are best," agreed the Tin Soldier. "Nothing can hurt
them."
"Unless they get dented or rusted," said Woot, but both the tin men frowned
on him.
Scraps of tin, of all shapes and sizes, lay scattered around the workshop.
Also there were hammers and anvils and soldering irons and a charcoal
furnace and many other tools such as a tinsmith works with. Against two of
the side walls had been built stout work-benches and in the center of the
room was a long table. At the end of the shop, which adjoined the dwelling,
were several cupboards.
After examining the interior of the workshop until his curiosity was satisfied,
Woot said:
"I think I will go outside until Ku-Klip comes. It does not seem quite proper
for us to take possession of his house while he is absent."
"That is true," agreed the Scarecrow, and they were all about to leave the
room when the Tin Woodman said: "Wait a minute," and they halted in
obedience to the command.
