He never makes a mistake." "Didn't he say Ozma was in that hole in the ground ?" asked Betsy.
"He did, and I am certain she was there," replied the Lavender Bear.
Scraps laughed jeeringly, and the others saw there was no use arguing with the stubborn Bear King, who seemed to have absolute faith in his Pink Bear.

The Wizard, who knew that magical things can usually be depended upon and that the little Pink Bear was able to answer questions by some remarkable power of magic, thought it wise to apologize to the Lavender Bear for the unbelief of his friends, at the same time urging the King to consent to question the Pink Bear once more.

Cayke and the Frogman also pleaded with the big Bear, who finally agreed, although rather ungraciously, to put the little Bear's wisdom to the test once more.

So he sat the little one on his knee and turned the crank, and the Wizard himself asked the questions in a very respectful tone of voice.

"Where is Ozma ?" was his first query.
"Here in this room," answered the little Pink Bear.
They all looked around the room, but of course did not see her.
