It was a clever idea, and a trick Glinda did not suspect; so several precious hours were spent in a vain search for Mombi. As sundown approached the Sorceress realized she had been defeated by the superior cunning of the aged witch; so she gave the command to her people to march out of the city and back to their tents. IT WAS A CLEVER IDEA AND A TRICK GLINDA DID NOT SUSPECT SO SEVERAL PRECIOUS HOURS WERE SPENT IN A VAIN SEARCH FOR MOMBE AS SUNDOWN APPROACHED THE SORCERESS REALIZED THAT SHE HAD BEEN DEFEATED BY THE SUPERIOR CUNNING OF THE AGED WITCH SO SHE GAVE THE COMMAND TO HER PEOPLE TO MARCH OUT OF THE CITY AND BACK TO THEIR TENTS
ssenger: “Tell your mistress that I cannot find Mombi anywhere, but that Glinda is welcome to enter the city and search herself for the old woman. She may also bring her friends with her, if she likes; but if she does not find Mombi by sundown, the Sorceress must promise to go away peaceably and bother us no more.” Glinda agreed to these terms, well knowing that Mombi was somewhere within the city walls. So Jinjur caused the gates to be thrown open, and Glinda marched in at the head of a company of soldiers, followed by the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, while Jack Pumpkinhead rode astride the Saw-Horse, and the Educated, Highly Magnified Woggle-Bug sauntered behind in a dignified manner. Tip walked by the side of the Sorceress, for Glinda had conceived a great liking for the boy. Of course old Mombi had no intention of being found by Glinda; so, while her enemies were marching up the street, the witch transformed herself into a red rose growing upon a bush in the garden of the palace. EN SAID TO GLINDA'S MESSENGER TELL YOUR MISTRESS THAT I CANNOT FIND MOMBEE ANYWHERE BUT THAT GLINDA IS WELCOME TO ENTER THE CITY AND SEARCH HERSELF FOR THE OLD WOMAN SHE MAY ALSO BRING HER FRIENDS WITH HER IF SHE LIKES BUT IF SHE DOES NOT FIND MOMBY BY SUNDOWN THE SORCERESS MUST PROMISE TO GO AWAY PEACEABLY AND BOTHER US NO MORE GLINDA AGREED TO THESE TERMS WELL KNOWING THAT MOMBY WAS SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE CITY WALLS SO GINGER CAUSED THE GATES TO BE THROWN OPEN AND GLINDA MARCHED IN AT THE HEAD OF A COMPANY OF SOLDIERS FOLLOWED BY THE SCARECROW AND THE TIN WOODMAN WHILE JACK PUMPKINHEAD RODE ASTRIDE THE SAW HORSE AND THE EDUCATED HIGHLY MAGNIFIED WOGGLE BUG SAUNTERED BEHIND IN A DIGNIFIED MANNER TIP WALKED BY THE SIDE OF THE SORCERESS FOR GLINDA HAD CONCEIVED A GREAT LIKING FOR THE BOY OF COURSE OLD MOMBY HAD NO INTENTION OF BEING FOUND BY GLINDA SO WHILE HER ENEMIES WERE MARCHING UP THE STREET THE WITCH TRANSFORMED HERSELF INTO A RED ROSE GROWING UPON A BUSH IN THE GARDEN OF THE PALACE
