mirror appeared to be Princess Gayelette herself. She was stunningly
beautiful.
The Witch was visibly shocked. "I can't believe it," she kept saying.
"I've come from being an ugly old hag to a beautiful princess." She
shook her head in amazement. "I could very easily be mistaken for
Gayelette herself."
"Come," said the little girl. "Let us join the others in the garden. I
can't wait to see their faces."

little early," said Jellia. "No one is here yet. Come." She took the
Witch's hand. "Let us sit down and chat."
A few minutes later, Dorothy arrived. "Oh," she said, as she saw Jellia
and the Witch. "Princess Gayelette. What a beautiful gown!"
"And allow me to introduce Jellia Jamb, one of the children of the
Emerald City. She and I are old friends," the Witch said, with a wink at
Jellia.
"I'm very pleased to meet you, Dorothy," said Jellia. "I've heard so
much about you. Our Ruler, the Scarecrow, talks about you all the time.
