But you must not suppose he worked all the time, for he felt that would be bad for him. BUT YOU MUST NOT SUPPOSE HE WORKED ALL THE TIME FOR HE FELT THAT WOULD BE BAD FOR HIM
ld Mombi often declared that his whole name was Tippetarius; but no one was expected to say such a long word when “Tip” would do just as well. This boy remembered nothing of his parents, for he had been brought when quite young to be reared by the old woman known as Mombi, whose reputation, I am sorry to say, was none of the best. For the Gillikin people had reason to suspect her of indulging in magical arts, and therefore hesitated to associate with her. [Illustration: image016] Mombi was not exactly a Witch, because the Good Witch who ruled that part of the Land of Oz had forbidden any other Witch to exist in her dominions. So Tip’s guardian, however much she might aspire to working magic, realized it was unlawful to be more than a Sorceress, or at most a Wizardess. Tip was made to carry wood from the forest, that the old woman might boil her pot. He also worked in the corn-fields, hoeing and husking; and he fed the pigs and milked the four-horned cow that was Mombi’s especial pride. ERE WAS MORE TO HIS NAME THAN THAT FOR OLD MOMBY OFTEN DECLARED THAT HIS WHOLE NAME WAS TIPPETITAREOUS BUT NO ONE WAS EXPECTED TO SAY SUCH A LONG WORD WHEN TIP WOULD DO JUST AS WELL THIS BOY REMEMBERED NOTHING OF HIS PARENTS FOR HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT WHEN QUITE YOUNG TO BE REARED BY THE OLD WOMAN KNOWN AS MOMBEE WHOSE REPUTATION I AM SORRY TO SAY WAS NONE OF THE BEST FOR THE GILICAN PEOPLE HAD REASON TO SUSPECT HER OF INDULGING IN MAGICAL ARTS AND THEREFORE HESITATED TO ASSOCIATE WITH HER MOMBY WAS NOT EXACTLY A WITCH BECAUSE THE GOOD WITCH WHO RULED THAT PART OF THE LAND OF OZ HAD FORBIDDEN ANY OTHER WITCH TO EXIST IN HER DOMINIONS SO TIP'S GUARDIAN HOWEVER MUCH SHE MIGHT ASPIRE TO WORKING MAGIC REALIZED THAT IT WAS UNLAWFUL TO BE MORE THAN A SORCERESS OR AT MOST A WIZARDOUS TIP WAS MADE TO CARRY WOOD FROM THE FOREST THAT THE OLD WOMAN MIGHT BOIL HER POT HE ALSO WORKED IN THE CORNFIELDS HOEING AND HUSKING AND HE FED THE PIGS AND MILKED THE FOUR HORNED COW THAT WAS MOMBE'S ESPECIAL PRIDE
