Capricorns men ruin the library. Then Meggie asks who all they all are and who Capricorn is. Then Dustfinger asks her if Mo has ever read to her out loud. They drag them out to the car and Meggie reaches for Wizard of Oz, Dustfinger pulls it out for her and she won’t take it so he puts it in his pocket. They go to Capricorns Village.
