The palace court was built of\u003cbr\u003erare marbles, exquisitely polished. Fountains tinkled musically here\u003cbr\u003eand there; the vast colonnade, open to the south, allowed the maidens,\u003cbr\u003eas they raised their heads from their embroideries, to gaze upon a\u003cbr\u003evista of rose-hued fields and groves of trees bearing fruits or laden\u003cbr\u003ewith sweet-scented flowers. At times one of the girls would start a\u003cbr\u003esong, the others joining in the chorus, or one would rise and dance,\u003cbr\u003egracefully swaying to the music of a harp played by a companion. And\u003cbr\u003ethen Glinda smiled, glad to see her maids mixing play with work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresently among the fields an object was seen moving, threading the\u003cbr\u003ebroad path that led to the castle gate. Some of the girls looked upon\u003cbr\u003ethis object enviously; the Sorceress merely gave it a glance and\u003cbr\u003enodded her stately head as if pleased, for it meant the coming of her\u003cbr\u003efriend and mistress--the only one in all the land that Glinda bowed\u003cbr\u003eto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen up the path trotted a wooden animal attached to a red wagon, and\u003cbr\u003eas the quaint steed halted at the gate there descended from the wagon\u003cbr\u003etwo young girls, Ozma, Ruler of Oz, and her companion, Princess\u003cbr\u003eDorothy. Both were dressed in simple white muslin gowns, and as they\u003cbr\u003eran up the marble steps of the palace they laughed and chatted as\u003cbr\u003egaily as if they were not the most important persons in the world's\u003cbr\u003eloveliest fairyland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe maids of honor had risen and stood with bowed heads to greet the\u003cbr\u003eroyal Ozma, while Glinda came forward with outstretched arms to greet\u003cbr\u003eher guests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We've just come on a visit, you know,\" said Ozma. \"Both Dorothy and I\u003cbr\u003ewere wondering how we should pass the day when we happened to think\u003cbr\u003ewe'd not been to your Quadling Country for weeks, so we took the\u003cbr\u003eSawhorse and rode straight here.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"And we came so fast,\" added Dorothy, \"that our hair is blown all\u003cbr\u003efuzzy, for the Sawhorse makes a wind of his own.
