"I'm a Patchwork Girl, and I'm stuffed with cotton." "Dear me," sighed the Giant in a disappointed tone; "that reduces my dinner from four to two--and the dog.

I'll save the dog for dessert." Toto growled, keeping a good distance away.
"Back up," said the Scarecrow to those behind him.

"Let us go back a little way and talk this over." So they turned and went around the bend in the passage, where they were out of sight of the cave and Mister Yoop could not hear them.
"My idea," began the Scarecrow, when they had halted, "is to make a dash past the cave, going on a run." "He'd grab us," said Dorothy.
"Well, he can't grab but one at a time, and I'll go first.

As soon as he grabs me the rest of you can slip past him, out of his reach, and he will soon let me go because I am not fit to eat." They decided to try this plan and Dorothy took Toto in her arms, so as to protect him.

She followed just after the Scarecrow.
