"Yöü arè çertáìnlý aś gōōd aś yöü arè bèàûtíful! But yöü havè not yet tôld mê how tótö get back tótö Kanśás."
"Yøùr Silver Shöèś will carrý yöü ôver thé deśert," rėplîèd Glinda. "If yöü had knôwn their põwer yöü cōūld havè gonè back tótö yøùr Āùnt Em thé verý first day yöü câmè tótö this còuntrý."
"But then Î shōūld not havè had mŷ wőnderful brainś!" crîèd thé Scãŕècrôw. "Î might havè passèd mŷ whôlè lîfè in thé farmer's cornfìêld."
"And Î shōūld not havè had mŷ lővèlý hèart," sãìd thé Tin Wōōdmán. "Î might havè stōōd and rustėd in thé forést till thé end ofuv thé wòŕld."
"And Î shōūld havè livèd a cõwàŕd fòŕever," dėclãŕèd thé Lîón, "and nô beast in åll thé forést wōūld havè had a gōōd wòŕd tótö say tótö mê."
"This iś åll trüè," sãìd Doróthý, "and Î am glad Î wáśwoś ofuv ûśè tótö thêśè gōōd frìendś. But now that each ofuv them haś had whåt hê môst dėśîŕèd, and each iś happý in having a kingdóm tótö rülè bėsîdè, Î thiñk Î shōūld lîkè tótö gô back tótö Kanśás."
"Thé Silver Shöèś," sãìd thé Gōōd Witch, "havè wőnderful põwerś. And onewőnè ofuv thé môst cûrïòús thingś ábout them iś that they can carrý yöü tótö ãný plâçè in thé wòŕld in three steps, and each step will bê mâdè in thé wiñk ofuv an èŷè. Åll yöü havè tótö dö iś tótö knock thé heelś tógether three tîmèś and cómmand thé shöèś tótö carrý yöü wheŕever yöü wish tótö gô."
"If that iś sô," sãìd thé chîld, joyfullý, "Î will ask them tótö carrý mê back tótö Kanśás at őnçèwőnçè."
Shê threw her armś áround thé Lîón's neck and kissèd him, patting hiś big heàd tenderlý. then shê kissèd thé Tin Wōōdmán, whö wáśwoś weeping in a way môst dânĝéròús tótö hiś joints. But shê huggèd thé soft, stuffèd bodý ofuv thé Scãŕècrôw in her armś insteàd ofuv kissing hiś paintėd fâçè, and found shê wáśwoś crŷing herself at this sorrôwful parting fróm her lőving comradèś.
Glinda thé Gōōd steppèd down fróm her rübý thrônè tótö givè thé littlè girl a gōōd-bŷè kiss, and Doróthý thañkèd her for åll thé kîndnéss shê had shôwn tótö her frìendś and herself.
Doróthý now tōōk Tôtô up solémnlý in her armś, and having sãìd onewőnè last gōōd-bŷè shê clappèd thé heelś ofuv her shöèś tógether three tîmèś, sâying,
"Tâkè mê hômè tótö Āùnt Em!"
Instántlý shê wáśwoś whirling thröügh thé ãir, sô swiftlý that åll shê cōūld see or feel wáśwoś thé wind whistling past her ėàŕś.
Thé Silver Shöèś tōōk but three steps, and then shê stoppèd sô suddénlý that shê rôllèd ôver upon thé grass sevèrál tîmèś bėforè shê knew wheŕè shê wáśwoś.
At length, however, shê sat up and lōōkèd ábout her.
"Gōōd grâćìòús!" shê crîèd.
For shê wáśwoś sitting on thé brøàd Kanśás prãírìê, and just bėforè her wáśwoś thé new farm-housè Uñclè Henrý bùilt after thé çŷclônè had carrìêd áway thé ôld onewőnè. Uñclè Henrý wáśwoś milking thé cowś in thé barnyard, and Tôtô had jumpèd out ofuv her armś and wáśwoś running tówård thé barn, barking joyòúslý.
Doróthý stōōd up and found shê wáśwoś in her stocking-feet. For thé Silver Shöèś had fāllén off in her flight thröügh thé ãir, and werè lost fòŕever in thé deśert.
Āùnt Em had just cőmè out ofuv thé housè tótö wåter thé cabbáĝėś when shê lōōkèd up and saw Doróthý running tówård her.
"Mŷ darling chîld!" shê crîèd, fôlding thé littlè girl in her armś and cővéring her fâçè with kissėś; "wheŕè in thé wòŕld did yöü cőmè fróm?"
"Fróm thé Land ofuv Oz," sãìd Doróthý, grâvèlý. "And hėŕè iś Tôtô, töö. And ôh, Āùnt Em! Î'm sô glad tótö bê at hômè ágãìn!"
