Mombi obeyed. “What is the color of my pearl?” demanded Glinda. “Why—it is black!” replied the old Witch, in a tone of wonder. “Then you have told me a falsehood!” cried Glinda, angrily. “Only when the truth is spoken will my magic pearl remain a pure white in color.” Mombi now saw how useless it was to try to deceive the Sorceress; so she said, meanwhile scowling at her defeat: “The Wizard brought to me the girl Ozma, who was then no more than a baby, and begged me to conceal the child.” “That is what I thought,” declared Glinda, calmly. “What did he give you for thus serving him?” “He taught me all the magical tricks he knew. Some were good tricks, and some were only frauds; but I have remained faithful to my promise.” EART NOW SHE SAID I WILL ASK MY FIRST QUESTION WHY DID THE WIZARD PAY YOU THREE VISITS BECAUSE I WOULD NOT COME TO HIM ANSWERED MOMBY THAT IS NO ANSWER SAID GLINDA STERNLY TELL ME THE TRUTH WELL RETURNED MOMBY WITH DOWNCAST EYES HE VISITED ME TO LEARN THE WAY I MAKE TEA BISCUITS LOOK UP COMMANDED THE SORCERESS MOMBY OBEYED WHAT IS THE COLOR OF MY PEARL DEMANDED GLINDA WHY IT IS BLACK REPLIED THE OLD WITCH IN A TONE OF WONDER THEN YOU HAVE TOLD ME A FALSEHOOD CRIED GLINDA ANGRILY ONLY WHEN THE TRUTH IS SPOKEN WILL MY MAGIC PEARL REMAIN PURE WHITE IN COLOUR MAMBI NOW SAW HOW USELESS IT WAS TO TRY TO DECEIVE THE SORCERESS SO SHE SAID MEANWHILE SCOWLING AT HER DEFEAT THE WAYS IT BROUGHT ME THE GIRL OZMA WHO WAS THEN NO MORE THAN A BABY AND BEGGED ME TO CONCEAL THE CHILD THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT DECLARED GLINDA CALMLY WHAT DID HE GIVE YOU FOR THUS SERVING HIM HEY TAUGHT ME ALL THE MAGICAL TRICKS HE KNEW SOME WERE GOOD TRICKS AND SOME WERE ONLY FRAUDS BUT I HAVE REMAINED FAITHFUL TO MY PROMISE
