Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz L Frank Baum

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, When Dorothy regained her senses, they were still falling, but not quite as fast. The roof of the buggy trapped the air like a parachute or a breeze-filled umbrella, and held them to float downward with a smooth motion that wasn't very unpleasant to bear. The worst thing was their terror of reaching the bottom of this great crack in the earth, and the natural fear that a sudden death was about to take hold of them at any moment.
