They had to wait a long time before the soldier returned.
在士兵回來以前，他們等了很長時間。
When, at last, he came back, Dorothy asked: "Have you seen Oz?"
后來，士兵回來了，多蘿茜問道：“你有沒有看見過奧芝？”
"Oh, no," returned the soldier: "I have never seen him. But I spoke to him as he sat behind his screen and gave him your message.
“啊，沒有，”兵士回答說：“我從來沒有見過他。我只當他坐在帳幔的后面，向他說話，把你們的意思告訴他聽。
He said he will grant you an audience, if you so desire; but each one of you must enter his presence alone, and he will admit but one each day.
他說，你們這般地渴望著，允許你們去見他；但是，你們必須每一個單獨地到他的面前，并且只準每天會見一個。
Therefore, as you must remain in the Palace for several days, I will have you shown to rooms where you may rest in comfort after your journey."
所以你們必須在這宮中停留好幾天，我要為你們開幾個房間，在你們長途跋涉以后，可以休息得舒服一點兒。”
"Thank you," replied the girl: "that is very kind of Oz."
“多謝你，”小女孩子回答說：“那是奧芝的好意?！?/div>
The soldier now blew upon a green whistle, and at once a young girl, dressed in a pretty green silk gown, entered the room.
現在，兵士吹著一個綠色的口笛，立刻有一個年青女郎，穿著一件美麗的綠絲袍，走進屋子來。
She had lovely green hair and green eyes, and she bowed low before Dorothy as she said, "Follow me and I will show you your room."
她長著可愛的綠發和綠眼，當她說話的時候，還在多蘿茜面前低低地鞠躬，“跟我來，我把你的房間指給你看?！?/div>
So Dorothy said good-bye to all her friends except Toto, 'goodbye'
多蘿茜向她的朋友們說聲再會，只有托托除外，“拜拜”，
and taking the dog in her arms followed the green girl through seven passages and up three flights of stairs until they came to a room at the front of the Palace.
她把這狗抱起在臂彎里，跟著綠女郎穿過七個門廊，跑上三座樓梯，一直跑到宮殿前面的一間房間里。
It was the sweetest little room in the world, with a soft comfortable bed that had sheets of green silk and a green velvet counterpane.
那是世界上最美麗最可愛的小房間了，有一只柔軟舒服的床，上面有綠綢的被，綠天鵝絨的褥。
There was a tiny fountain in the middle of the room, that shot a spray of green perfume into the air,
在房間的中央，有一噴水器，向空中射出一股綠色香水的水花，
to fall back into a beautifully carved green marble basin.
水花回落在一只雕刻得很美麗的綠色大理石的盆子里。
Beautiful green flowers stood in the windows, and there was a shelf with a row of little green books.
一些美麗的綠花安放在窗子的旁邊，在那里還有一個放著一行綠色小書的書架。
When Dorothy had time to open these books she found them full of queer green pictures that made her laugh, they were so funny.
當多蘿西打開這些書時，她發現里面盡是些古怪的綠色圖畫令她發笑，它們很有趣。
In a wardrobe were many green dresses, made of silk and satin and velvet; and all of them fitted Dorothy exactly.
在一只衣櫥里有許多綠衣服，用綢緞和天鵝絨做的，全部很適合多蘿茜穿的。
