"That is all true enough," the Scarecrow replied, a little uneasily. "But I do not see how we can stop just now; for we might alight in a river, or on, the top of a steeple; and that would be a great disaster." So they permitted the Gump to fly on, with regular flops of its great wings, and waited patiently for morning. THAT IS ALL TRUE ENOUGH THE SCARECROW REPLIED A LITTLE UNEASILY BUT I DO NOT SEE HOW WE CAN STOP JUST NOW FOR WE MIGHT ALIGHT IN A RIVER OR ON THE TOP OF A STEEPLE AND THAT WOULD BE A GREAT DISASTER SO THEY PERMITTED THE GUMP TO FLY ON WITH REGULAR FLOPS OF ITS GREAT WINGS AND WAITED PATIENTLY FOR MORNING
ers found above them a cloudy sky, through which the rays of the moon could not penetrate. The Gump flew steadily on, and for some reason the huge sofa-body rocked more and more dizzily every hour. The Woggle-Bug declared he was sea-sick; and Tip was also pale and somewhat distressed. But the others clung to the backs of the sofas and did not seem to mind the motion as long as they were not tipped out. Darker and darker grew the night, and on and on sped the Gump through the black heavens. The travelers could not even see one another, and an oppressive silence settled down upon them. After a long time Tip, who had been thinking deeply, spoke. “How are we to know when we come to the pallace of Glinda the Good?” he asked. “It’s a long way to Glinda’s palace,” answered the Woodman; “I’ve traveled it.” “But how are we to know how fast the Gump is flying?” persisted the boy. “We cannot see a single thing down on the earth, and before morning we may be far beyond the place we want to reach.” T HAD BECOME QUITE DARK AND THE VOYAGERS FOUND ABOVE THEM A CLOUDY SKY THROUGH WHICH THE RAYS OF THE MOON COULD NOT PENETRATE THE GUMP FLEW STEADILY ON AND FOR SOME REASON THE HUGE SOFA BODY ROCKED MORE AND MORE DIZZILY EVERY HOUR THE WOGGLE BUG DECLARED HE WAS SEASICK AND TIP WAS ALSO PALE AND SOMEWHAT DISTRESSED BUT THE OTHERS CLUNG TO THE BACKS OF THE SOFAS AND DID NOT SEEM TO MIND THE MOTION AS LONG AS THEY WERE NOT TIPPED OUT DARKER AND DARKER GREW THE NIGHT AND ON AND ON SPED THE GUMP THROUGH THE BLACK HEAVENS THE TRAVELLERS COULD NOT EVEN SEE ONE ANOTHER AND AN OPPRESSIVE SILENCE SETTLED DOWN UPON THEM AFTER A LONG TIME TIP WHO HAD BEEN THINKING DEEPLY SPOKE HOW ARE WE TO KNOW WHEN WE COME TO THE PALACE OF GLENDA THE GOOD HE ASKED IT'S A LONG WAY TO GLINDA'S PALACE ANSWERED THE WOODMAN I'VE TRAVELLED IT BUT HOW ARE WE TO KNOW HOW FAST THE GUMP IS FLYING PERSISTED THE BOY WE CANNOT SEE A SINGLE THING DOWN ON THE EARTH AND BY MORNING WE MAY BE FAR BEYOND THE PLACE WE WANT TO REACH
