When she enters the Genies' shop, she finds a rather rude [[ghost]] known as [[the Mad Marquess]] already there, but as he is not engaging their professional services just yet, Jenny introduces herself, offering payment in the form of a [[magic wand]] drawn from the large collection of odd items accessible via her coat pockets. The [[Genie (The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)|Genie]] at the front desk finds this satisfactory (eating the artefact like a candy cane before her and a stunned Marquess's eyes), and wishes to know where [[the Lurigadawne]] has gone and to join him there. | When she enters the Genies' shop, she finds a rather rude [[ghost]] known as [[the Mad Marquess]] already there, but as he is not engaging their professional services just yet, Jenny introduces herself, offering payment in the form of a [[magic wand]] drawn from the large collection of odd items accessible via her coat pockets.

The Genie grants this wish, opening a portal to [[Gnome Place|a conference room]] full of what she soon recognises as [[Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes|Orange-Bearded Gnomes]], comprising not just [[gnome]]s but other oranged-bearded members of the [[Little People]], such as | The Genie grants this wish, opening a portal to [[Gnome Place|a conference room]] full of what she soon recognises as [[Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes|Orange-Bearded Gnomes]], comprising not just [[gnome]]s but other oranged-bearded members of the [[Little People]], such as [[Leprechaun]]s, [[Elf|Elves]], [[Lutin]]s, [[Gnatling]]s, and other small magical creatures; they are not pleased to see a “giantess” intruding on their gathering, but she finds herself unable to close the portal before it deposits her right in the middle of their meeting. | ||
Distressed by her sudden appearance, the [[Gnome]]s petrify her clothing to hold her in place. The meeting disintegrates into Gnomes screaming at Jenny and Gnomes screaming at other Gnomes. Jenny recognizes one as [[King Roquat]] of the [[Nome]]s of [[Land of Oz|Oz]], which completely fails to calm him down. Roquat loudly predicts that she will call in allies from other worlds, monsters such as “[[The Tin Woodman|metal men]], and [[The Scarecrow|scarecrows]], and [[Billina|chickens]]”. Jenny protests that she is not going to call in allies from other worlds. Just then, due his unwise wording when talking to a genie, a portal from another world appears and ejects a screaming Mad Marquess into the middle of the meeting hall. | Distressed by her sudden appearance, the [[Gnome]]s petrify her clothing to hold her in place.
