“Ah, shucks!” Johnny replied. “I did it without much thinking!”
“Well, you did it, anyway!” his sister insisted. “To think she was a lady all this time and we did not know it!”
“She was a very ladylike Cow, at least!” said Johnny.
Mr. and Mrs. Tiptoe came up to Johnny and Janey and thanked them for what they had done.
“It was Johnny!” said Janey, generously, as the pretty lady kissed her.
“It was Janey who suggested it!” said Johnny as he bashfully received Mrs. Tiptoe’s reward.
The happy little Dancing Master told his wife all that had happened since the Princess and she had disappeared, and that now the Princess was safe at home.
“At least, I hope she is,” he added. “She left us and flew off for the City of Nite in the Magic Umbrella. Now tell us of your strange adventure!”
“There is not much to tell,” Mrs. Tiptoe said, as the happy party walked over the fields. “When you left me in the rooms of the Witch she was hiding behind a door all the time, and just as you left she pushed me into the Magic Umbrella and jumped in with me. We flew out of the window.
“As you now know, it does not take the Magic Umbrella long to get where you wish it to go, or at least it did not take us long to get to where it settled to the ground. I could scarcely stand when we got there. The wicked creature struck me with her cane and said a strange rhyme, and I did not know a thing until I awakened with my head in Gran’ma’s lap.”
