"Bravo!" cried Nick Chopper. "What splendid brains!" murmured Jack. "Really quite clever!" said the Educated Woggle Bug. "I believe it can be done," declared Tip; "that is, if the Tin Woodman is equal to making the Thing." "I'll do my best," said Nick, cheerily; "and, as a matter of fact, I do not often fail in what I attempt. But the Thing will have to be built on the roof of the palace, so it can rise comfortably into the air."
