"That is all we can expect," returned the Scarecrow pleasantly; and good nature being thus happily restored to the party, they proceeded upon their way. When they again stopped to allow Tip to rest—the boy being the only one that seemed to tire—the Tin Woodman noticed many small, round holes in the grassy meadow. "This must be a village of the Field Mice," he said to the Scarecrow. "I wonder if my old friend, the Queen of the Mice, is in this neighborhood." THAT IS ALL WE CAN EXPECT RETURNED THE SCARECROW PLEASANTLY AND GOOD NATURE BEING THUS HAPPILY RESTORED TO THE PARTY THEY PROCEEDED UPON THEIR WAY WHEN THEY STOPPED AGAIN TO ALLOW TIP TO REST THE BOY BEING THE ONLY ONE THAT SEEMED TO TIRE THOUGH TIN WOODMAN NOTICED MANY SMALL ROUND HOLES IN THE GRASSY MEADOW THIS MUST BE A VILLAGE OF THE FIELD MICE HE SAID TO THE SCARECROW I WONDER IF MY OLD FRIEND THE QUEEN OF THE MICE IS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
 the Pumpkinhead put up his hand to hide the smile which, because it was carved upon his face, he could not change to a frown.

In any event, I must beg you to restrain your superior education while in our society.” “We are not very particular,” added the Tin Woodman; “and we are exceedingly kind hearted. But if your superior culture gets leaky again—” He did not complete the sentence, but he twirled his gleaming axe so carelessly that the Woggle-Bug looked frightened, and shrank away to a safe distance. The others marched on in silence, and the Highly Magnified one, after a period of deep thought, said in an humble voice: “I will endeavor to restrain myself.” LOUDLY SNORTED HIS DERISION AND EVEN THE PUMPKINHEAD PUT UP HIS HAND TO HIDE THE SMILE WHICH BECAUSE IT WAS CARVED UPON HIS FACE HE COULD NOT CHANGE TO A FROWN BUT THE WOGGLE BUG STRUTTED ALONG AS IF HE HAD MADE SOME BRILLIANT REMARK AND THE SCARECROW WAS OBLIGED TO SAY I HAVE HEARD MY DEAR FRIEND THAT A PERSON CAN BECOME OVER EDUCATED AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE A HIGH RESPECT FOR BRAINS NO MATTER HOW THEY MAY BE ARRANGED OR CLASSIFIED I BEGIN TO SUSPECT THAT YOURS ARE SLIGHTLY TANGLED IN ANY EVENT I MUST BEG YOU TO RESTRAIN YOUR SUPERIOR EDUCATION WHILE IN OUR SOCIETY ARE NOT VERY PARTICULAR ADDED THE TIN WOODMAN AND WE ARE EXCEEDINGLY KIND HEARTED BUT IF YOUR SUPERIOR CULTURE GETS LEAKY AGAIN HE DID NOT COMPLETE THE SENTENCE BUT HE TWIRLED HIS GLEAMING ACK SO CARELESSLY THAT THE WOGGLE BUG LOOKED FRIGHTENED AND SHRANK AWAY TO A SAFE DISTANCE THE OTHERS MARCHED ON IN SILENCE AND THE HIGHLY MAGNIFIED ONE AFTER A PERIOD OF DEEP THOUGHT SAID IN A HUMBLE VOICE I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO RESTRAIN MYSELF
