do any magic at all, an' so I can't figure out e'zactly
how you an' Glinda an' the Wizard do it."

"Don't try," laughed Ozma. "But you have at least one
magical art, Dorothy: you know the trick of winning all
hearts."

"No, I don't," said Dorothy earnestly. "If I really
can do it, Ozma, I am sure I don't know how I do it."
