She reminds him in some wise of Una and the lion, though the idea is rather far-fetched; and he hardly dares speak to her, lest he shall break the spell that seems to lie upon her.,The simple query confounds him more than might a more elaborate one put by a clever worldling. Why indeed?,"I am a stranger; I know nothing," she says again, hardly knowing what to say, and moving a little as though she would depart.,"You mean the Australian?" says Dorothy.
