About the book
Jim had refused to leave the field of grass, where he was engaged in busily eating; so the Wizard got out of the buggy and joined Zeb and Dorothy, and the kitten followed demurely at their heels. She was not at all heavy, so the Wizard and Dorothy managed to lift her gently to the ground. The boy was strong for one of his years, having always worked upon a farm; so he was likely to prove more dangerous to the enemy than the Wizard. And finally she made a wicked plan to satisfy her depraved appetite for pork.
