I'm the one who asked.  I don't have the book with me, but the way I remember 
it is that when $crooge wanders around on the savannah after the Boer deserts 
him, he mutters about the fact that he's not afraid, (having fought wild 
animals before, in Kansas) just angry.  Then a lion jumps at him, roaring, 
and $crooge says something like "<gasp>... then again, I'm not in Kansas 
anymore!"

That's how it appears in the translation, at any rate.  Am I reading too much 
into it?  Maybe I think of "The Wizard of Oz" every time I hear "Kansas."  :-)
