But as he wheeled, his intended quarry wheeled with him, brown fingers locked in the heavy
mane on the powerful neck and again the blade struck deep into the lion's side.
Dorothy sat upon his back and locked her arms around his striped neck, for he had no
mane to cling to.
Dorothy thought she would go next; so she took Toto in her arms and climbed on the Lion's back, holding tightly to his
