"Here is some foolish trickery!" said the Sorceress, her eyes flashing with anger. "This is not Mombi at all, but some other person who has been made to resemble her!

She will think she has the real Mombi in her power, and so will return immediately to her own country in the South.” [Illustration: image282] Therefore Jellia, hobbling along like an aged woman, was led from the city gates and taken before Glinda. “Here is the person you demanded,” said one of the guards, “and our Queen now begs you will go away, as you promised, and leave us in peace.” “That I will surely do,” replied Glinda, much pleased; “if this is really the person she seems to be.” “It is certainly old Mombi,” said the guard, who believed she was speaking the truth; and then Jinjur’s soldiers returned within the city’s gates.

But Jellia knew nothing at all of this affair, and presently she grew so nervous under the questioning that she gave way and began to weep, to Glinda’s great astonishment.
