you and little Dorothy and Oz, and _I_ will be
your good Knight every day." At this, the applause was tremendous.

Ye good Knight of Oz, full of courage and vim,

shouted Scraps, who was becoming more excited every minute.

"I'll lend you some of my polish for your armor, old fellow," said
Nick Chopper as the Knight sat down, beaming with pleasure.

"Well," said Ozma with a smile when everyone had feasted and talked
to heart's content, "is everybody happy?"

"I am!" cried the Comfortable Camel. "For here I am perfectly

"I am!" cried Dorothy, putting her arm around the Scarecrow, who sat
next to her. "For I have found my old friend and made some new ones."

"I'm happy!" cried the Scarecrow, waving his glass, "because there is
no age in Oz, and I am still my old Ozish self."

"As for me," said the Knight, "I am happy, for I have served a Lady,
gone on a Quest, and _Slain a Dragon! Ozma, and Oz forever!_
