But why can't your friend wash her dishes in another dishpan ?" asked Scraps.
"Why can't you use another Royal Ruler?
I suppose you prefer the one who is lost, and my friend wants her own dishpan, which is made of gold and studded with diamonds and has magic powers." "Magic, eh ?" exclaimed Scraps.

"THERE is a link that connects the two steals, anyhow, for it seems that all the magic in the Land of Oz was stolen at the same time, whether it was in the Emerald City of in Glinda's castle or in the Yip Country.

Seems mighty strange and mysterious, doesn't it ?" "It used to seem that way to me," admitted the Frogman, "but we have now discovered who took our dishpan.

It was Ugu the Shoemaker." "Ugu?
Good gracious! That's the same magician we think has stolen Ozma.

We are now on our way to the castle of this Shoemaker." "So are we," said the Frogman.
"Then follow me, quick! And let me introduce you to Dorothy and the other girls and to the Wizard of Oz and all the rest of us." She sprang up and seized his coatsleeve, dragging him off the hilltop and down the other side from that whence he had come.
