"The next day they called the Winkies together and bade them good–bye. The Winkies were sorry to have them go, and they had grown so fond of the Tin Woodman that they begged him to stay and rule over them and the Yellow Land of the West. Finding they were determined to go, the Winkies gave Toto and the Lion each a golden collar; and to Dorothy they presented a beautiful bracelet studded with diamonds; and to the Scarecrow they gave a gold–headed walking stick, to keep him from stumbling; and to the Tin Woodman they offered a silver oil–can, inlaid with gold and set with precious jewels."

"'It is written inside the Golden Cap,' replied the Queen of the Mice. 'But if you are going to call the Winged Monkeys we must run away, for they are full of mischief and think it great fun to plague us.'"

"Dorothy was ready to cry with disappointment. 'I have wasted the charm of the Golden Cap to no purpose,' she said, 'for the Winged Monkeys cannot help me.' "

" 'By means of the Golden Cap I shall command the Winged Monkeys to carry you to the gates of the Emerald City,' said Glinda, 'for it would be a shame to deprive the people of so wonderful a ruler.' "

"In front of them, and at the end of the road of yellow brick, was a big gate, all studded with emeralds that glittered so in the sun that even the painted eyes of the Scarecrow were dazzled by their brilliancy."
