"Won't you go with me?" pleaded the girl, who had begun to look at the little old woman as her only friend. (2.57)

When Dorothy arrives in Oz, she's pretty much friendless. So much so that she's begging a complete stranger who has identified herself as a witch—albeit a good one—to go on a trip with her. At least she has Toto.

Quote #2

"Come along," said the Scarecrow, heartily; and Dorothy added that she would be pleased to have his company. (5.30)

You know what makes a road trip a lot more fun? Taking a few pals along. Dorothy has begun to assemble her team.
