The Witched Witch was both surprised and worried when she saw the mark on Dorothy's forehead,
for she knew well that neither the Winged Monkeys nor she, herself, dare hurt the girl in any way.
She looked down at Dorothty's feet, and seeing the Silver Shoes,
began to remble with far, for she knew what a powerful charm belonged to them.
At first the Witch was tempted to run away from Dorothy;
but she happened to look into the child's eyes and saw how simple the soul behind them was,
and that the little girl did not know of the wonderful power the Silver Shoes gave her.
So the Witched Witch laughed to herself, and thought, "I can still make her my slave, for she does not konw how to use her power."
Then she said to Dorothy, harshly and severely:
"Come with me; and see that you mind everythign I tell you, for if you do not I will make an end of you, as I did of the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow."
Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle until they came to the kitchen,
where the Witch bade her clean the pots and kettles and sweep the floor and keep the fire fed with wood.
