"I never heard. He started off toward the east, into the plains of the
Munchkin Country, and that was the last I ever saw of him."
"It seems to me," said the Tin Woodman reflectively, "that you did wrong in
making a man out of our cast-off parts. It is evident that Chopfyt could, with
justice, claim relationship with both of us."
"
Don't worry about that," advised Ku-Klip cheerfully; "it is not likely that you
will ever meet the fellow. And, if you should meet him, he doesn't know who
he is made of, for I never told him the secret of his manufacture. Indeed, you
are the only ones who know of it, and you may keep the secret to yourselves,
if you wish to."
"
Never mind Chopfyt," said the Scarecrow. "Our business now is to find poor
Nimmie Amee and let her choose her tin husband. To do that, it seems, from
the information Ku-Klip has given us, we must travel to Mount Munch."
"If that's the programme, let us start at once," suggested Woot.
So they all went outside, where they found Polychrome dancing about
among the trees and talking with the birds and laughing as merrily as if she
had not lost her Rainbow and so been separated from all her fairy sisters.
They told her they were going to Mount Munch, and she replied:
"Very well; I am as likely to find my Rainbow there as here, and any other
place is as likely as there. It all depends on the weather. Do you think it
looks like rain?"
They shook their heads, and Polychrome laughed again and danced on after
them when they resumed their journey.
