Appearances

In October 1899, Worley is visited by the local farmer Em Gale and her niece Dorothy, whom Em and her husband Henry believe to be delusional due to her stories about the Wonderful Land of Oz, which she supposedly visited months ago when she was caught by a tornado, preventing her from properly sleeping. Despite Dorothy's insistence that Oz is actually real, Worley concludes that she has been hallucinating and explains her and her aunt about his electrotherapy treatment, showing them his machine and saying to Dorothy how it looks like a face. Dorothy reluctantly agrees and Em leaves her in Dr. Worley's charge. He then requests Nurse Wilson to take Dorothy to her room, where she is left all alone until Worley tells her to come.
