Roquat/Ruggedo goes through his advisors in the course of about a decade while Kaliko's next chamberlain showed up two decades later. But that's a theory that rewrites <i>Rinkitink</i>.J. L.

Wasn't he also a Wizard or was that another character?<br /><br />That's a good point...maybe Kaliko was even rougher on his chamberlains than Ruggedo!saintfighteraquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195760262262189059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-77181735873497979392011-12-06T22:46:17.581-05:002011-12-06T22:46:17.581-05:00After Kaliko becomes king of the Nomes in Tik-Tok ...After Kaliko becomes king of the Nomes in <i>Tik-Tok of Oz</i>, he makes Guph his chamberlain. But the next time the Oz books visit the Nome Kingdom, in <i>Rinkitink</i>, the chamberlain is named Klik. And during the visit in Thompson’s <i>Wishing Horse of Oz</i>, Kaliko’s top servant is named Shoofenwaller. <br /><br />The position doesn’t seem to have a lot of job security; it’s pretty amazing that Kaliko lasted as long as he did, and left only for a promotion.J.
