may rest in comfort after your journey.""Thank you," replied the girl; "that is very kind of Oz."The soldier now blew upon a green whistle, and at once a young girl,dressed in a pretty green silk gown, entered the room. She had lovelygreen hair and green eyes, and she bowed low before Dorothy as she said,"Follow me and I will show you your room."So Dorothy said good-bye to all her friends except Toto, andtaking the dog in her arms followed the green girl through sevenpassages and up three flights of stairs until they came to a roomat the front of the Palace. It was the sweetest little room inthe world, with a soft comfortable bed that had sheets of greensilk and a green velvet counterpane. There was a tiny fountain inthe middle of the room, that shot a spray of green perfume intothe air, to fall back into a beautifully carved green marble basin.Beautiful green flowers stood in the windows, and there was a shelfwith a row of little green books. When Dorothy had time to openthese books she found them full of queer green pictures that madeher laugh, they were so funny.

The Lion would have preferred a bed ofdried leaves in the forest, and did not like being shut up in a room;but he had too much sense to let this worry him, so he sprang uponthe bed and rolled himself up like a cat and purred himself asleepin a minute.
The next morning, after breakfast, the green maiden came tofetch Dorothy, and she dressed her in one of the prettiest gowns,made of green brocaded satin. Dorothy put on a green silk apronand tied a green ribbon around Toto's neck, and they startedfor the Throne Room of the Great Oz.
First they came to a great hall in which were many ladies andgentlemen of the court, all dressed in rich costumes. Thesepeople had nothing to do but talk to each other, but they alwayscame to wait outside the Throne Room every morning, although theywere never permitted to see Oz.
