But if the strange appearance of his Majesty the Scarecrow seemed startling to Jack, no less wonderful was the form of the Pumpkinhead to the Scarecrow. BUT IF THE STRANGE APPEARANCE OF HIS MAJESTY THE SCARECROW SEEMED STARTLING TO JACK NO LESS WONDERFUL WAS THE FORM OF THE PUMPKINHEAD TO THE SCARECROW
such a creation, was more surprised at meeting the remarkable King of the Emerald City than by any other one experience of his brief life. His Majesty the Scarecrow was dressed in a suit of faded blue clothes, and his head was merely a small sack stuffed with straw, upon which eyes, ears, a nose and a mouth had been rudely painted to represent a face. The clothes were also stuffed with straw, and that so unevenly or carelessly that his Majesty’s legs and arms seemed more bumpy than was necessary. Upon his hands were gloves with long fingers, and these were padded with cotton. Wisps of straw stuck out from the monarch’s coat and also from his neck and boot-tops. Upon his head he wore a heavy golden crown set thick with sparkling jewels, and the weight of this crown caused his brow to sag in wrinkles, giving a thoughtful expression to the painted face. Indeed, the crown alone betokened majesty; in all else the, Scarecrow King was but a simple scarecrow—flimsy, awkward, and unsubstantial. AD NEVER HAVING SEEN SUCH A CREATION WAS MORE SURPRISED AT MEETING THE REMARKABLE KING OF THE EMERALD CITY THAN BY ANY OTHER ONE EXPERIENCE OF HIS BRIEF LIFE HIS MAJESTY THE SCARECROW WAS DRESSED IN A SUIT OF FADED BLUE CLOTHES AND HIS HEAD WAS MERELY A SMALL SACK STUFFED WITH STRAW UPON WHICH EYES EARS A NOSE AND A MOUTH HAD BEEN RUDELY PAINTED TO REPRESENT A FACE THE CLOTHES WERE ALSO STUFFED WITH STRAW AND THAT SO UNEVENLY OR CARELESSLY THAT HIS MAJESTY'S LEGS AND ARMS SEEMED MORE BUMPY THAN WAS NECESSARY UPON HIS HANDS WERE GLOVES WITH LONG FINGERS AND THESE WERE PADDED WITH COTTON WISPS OF STRAW STUCK OUT FROM THE MONARCH'S COAT AND ALSO FROM HIS NECK AND BOOT TOPS UPON HIS HEAD HE WORE A HEAVY GOLDEN CROWN SET THICK WITH SPARKLING JEWELS AND THE WEIGHT OF THIS CROWN CAUSED HIS BROW TO SAG IN WRINKLES GIVING A THOUGHTFUL EXPRESSION TO THE PAINTED FACE INDEED THE CROWN ALONE BETOKENED MAJESTY IN ALL ELSE THE SCARECROW KING WAS BUT A SIMPLE SCARECROW FLIMSY AWKWARD AND UNSUBSTANTIAL
