While she stood looking eagerly at the strange and beautiful sights,she noticed coming toward her a group of the strangest people she had ever seen.They were not as big as the grown-ups she had always been used to;but neither were they very small.In fact,they seemed about as tall as Dorothy,who was a well-grown child for her age,although they were,so far as looks go,many years older.
