Glinda the Good Witch Grants Dorothy’s Wish

Before they went to see Glinda, however, they were first taken to a room of the Castle. Dorothy washed her face and combed her hair, and the Lion shook the dust out of his mane. The Scarecrow patted himself into his best shape, and the Woodman polished his tin and oiled 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. 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 girl.
