30.绿野仙踪-23

Glinda granted Dorothy's wish.

Before they went to see Glinda, however, they were taken to a room of the Castle,
where Dorothy washed her face and combed her hair, and the Lion shook the dust out of his mane,
and the Scarecrow patted himself into his best shape, and the Woodman polished his tin and olied his joints.
When they were all quite presentable they followed the soldier girl into a big room where the Witch Glinda sat upon a throne of rubies.
She was both beautiful and young to their eyes.
Her hair was a rich red in color and fell in flowing ringlets over her shoulders.
Her dress was pure white but her eyes were blue, and they looked kindly upon the little gitl.
"What can I do for you, my child?" she asked.
Dorothy told the Witch all her story:
how the cyclone had brought her to the Land of Oz, how she had found her companions,
and of the wonderful adventures they had met with.
