And, prithee, my courtiers, when that the new Queen is enthroned, then does the receding Queen become the Sand Witch ?" "Yea, O fair Queen," said Marjorie, coming up with mincing steps and bowing before Kitty.

"From now on I am the Sand Witch of this court, and I humbly beg thy favor." "Favor be thine!" announced the temporary Queen.

"And now, O my courtiers, lead to me Queen Hester Sandy, Queen of Sand Court!" Reconciled at last to this state of things, King and Tom sprang to escort Hester.

Dick and Harry marched gravely behind, while Midget stalked along ahead, and thus quite an imposing procession approached Queen Kitty and ranged themselves before her.
"O Queen," Kitty began, "you have already taken oath of office, O Queen! So now naught remains but to take the seat of royalty, the honored throne of Sand Court, O Queen!" And then Hester scored her success.

She stepped up on the sand mound that was the throne, and bowed her head while Kitty transferred the vine wreath that represented the crown.
