"The Cat was sour-tempered and grumpy, at first, but before they had journeyed far, the crystal creature had discovered a fine amusement. The long tails of the monkeys were constantly sticking through the bars of their cage, and when they did, the Glass Cat would slyly seize the tails in her paws and pull them. That made the monkeys scream, and their screams pleased the Glass Cat immensely. Trot and Dorothy tried to stop this naughty amusement, but when they were not looking the Cat would pull the tails again, and the creature was so sly and quick that the monkeys could seldom escape. They scolded the Cat angrily and shook the bars of their cage, but they could not get out and the Cat only laughed at them." --from The Magic of OZ by L Frank Baum.

And it appears that I will be in the field tomorrow, (mapping, not digging) somewhere nearly to baltimore. We'll see how that goes.

She really doesn't like clothes, does she?

Oh - and I forgot to add..

DO you HAVE the Oz books? I only have the Wizard one, and have read some of the others, but I remember liking them quite well after a fashion.

That's from before she had clothes, actually. I just never got around to posting it. Now she has a green woolly hat that goes with the tights, but looks a little odd (I didn't quite knit it long enough, and got the decrease ratio slightly off)

We have all but one of the oz books in the 2nd editions-- hardback with all the original pictures, but no color plates-- and a few paperbacks as well. They live in the guest bedroom and are at present largely ignored unless I want to look up some vague childhood memory, and so I expect you'd be welcome to borrow some if you want. They are good home sick books, as they all run on rather faulty childhood logic.
