"In the tale, Tik-Tok travels from Oz to the Nome Kingdom in search of replacements for his worn parts. Tik-Tok, however, is not a diplomat, and angers Ruggedo the Nome King with a too-frank approach: \"I'm not a-fraid of a fat Nome.\" (A tactless remark \u2014 but his thought-works need two new springs.) The enraged monarch strikes a blow that knocks the wind-up metal man in pieces. Yet the steward Kaliko puts the machine man back together. The Nome King is terrified when he thinks he confronts a \"phantom clockwork man\" \u2014 the idea of a robot's ghost probably being a unique innovation in world literature. The Nome King is afraid that Ozma will be offended by his breaking Tik-Tok; so the machine man leaves the Nome Kingdom with a load of jewels, a gift for the Girl Ruler."@en . . .
