[The Lost Princess of Oz by L. Frank Baum]@TWC D-Link bookThe Lost Princess of Oz CHAPTER 7 12/15
"There's never been any question about my going.
I can't take the Red Wagon, though." "No, we must leave the wagon," said the wizard, "and also we must leave our food and blankets, I fear.
But if we can defy these Merry-Go-Round Mountains to stop us, we won't mind the sacrifice of some of our comforts." "No one knows where we're going to land!" remarked the Lion in a voice that sounded as if he were going to cry. "We may not land at all," replied Hank, "but the best way to find out what will happen to us is to swing across as Scraps and the Woozy have done." "I think I shall go last," said the Wizard, "so who wants to go first ?" "I'll go," decided Dorothy. "No, it's my turn first," said Button-Bright.
"Watch me!" Even as he spoke, the boy seized the strap, and after making a run swung himself across the gulf.
Away he went, bumping from hill to hill until he disappeared.
