CHAPTER IV
3/16

And as a punishment, I condemn her to rebuild this royal palace, but, following Harry's example, we will all help her with the work." Then King burst forth into song: "Hooray, Hooray, for our noble Queen, The very best monarch that ever was seen.
There's nobody quite so perfectly dandy, As our most gracious, most noble Queen Sandy!" They all repeated this chorus, and the Queen bowed and smiled at her devoted court.
"And also," her Royal Highness went on, "we hereby take into our club Miss Hester Corey as a new member.

I'm glad to have another girl in it,--and what I say goes!" This time Tom made up the song: "What she says, goes! She's sweet as a rose, From head to toes, So what she says, goes!" "Miss Hester Corey is now a member," said Midget, "and her name is,--is----" "Sand Witch," suggested Tom.
"Yes," said King; "you expect witches to cut up tricks." "All right," said Hester.

"Call me Sand Witch, and you'll see there are good witches as well as bad." "Come on, then," said Marjorie, "and show us how you can work.

Let's put this palace back into shape again as quick as scat!" They all fell to work, and it didn't take so very long after all.

Hester was conquered by the power of Marjorie's kindness, and she was meek as a lamb.
