The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tik-Tok of Oz by L. Frank Baum: gravely. "It's her home, you know, and those
poor wanderers who, like ourselves, have no
home, can realize what the means to her."
"Once," said Betsy, "I, too, had a home. Now,
I've only--only--dear old Hank!"
She twined her arms around her shaggy friend who
was not human, and he said: "Hee-haw!" in a tone
that showed he understood her mood. And the shaggy
friend who was human stroked the child's head
tenderly and said: "You're wrong about that,
Betsy, dear. I will never desert you."
