Description
"This room was also lighted, although they could discover no lamps, and in the center of it was a great table at which sat an immense woman. She was clad in silver robes embroidered with gay floral designs, and wore over this splendid raiment a short apron of elaborate lace-work. Such an apron was no protection, and was not in keeping with the handsome gown, but the huge woman wore it, nevertheless. The table at which she sat was spread with a white cloth and had golden dishes upon it, so the travelers saw that they had surprised the Giantess while she was eating her supper.

'Don't you think you'd better leave me as I am?' asked Woot in a trembling voice.

'No,' she replied, 'I'm going to make a Monkey of you. I love monkeys — they're so cute! — and I think a Green Monkey will be lots of fun and amuse me when I am sad.' " --"The Magic of the Yookoohoo", The Tin Woodman of Oz, by L. Frank Baum. 1918.
