I just got this:

Behind her throne stood the twenty-eight officers of her army
and many officials of the royal household
Moving leisurely over the city, he selected a deserted
thoroughfare to alight in, from whence he wandered unobserved
into the beautiful boulevards

The first two lines are from The Wizard Performs Another Trick, and the last lines are from The Master Key, both by L. Frank Baum.

Spammers like to use text from public domain works to bypass filters. They probably got it from Project Gutenberg.
