"Oh,首页🌌 indeed!" said John Dolittle. "Tell me more about it." And he pulled a notebook out of his pocket and started to write.
"And that is why to this day that farmer and his wife swear their cat can understand English,官网🌺 because,htc💬 they say,香港🎥 she must have heard them when they were talking over the basket. And whenever she's in the room and they are gossiping about the neighbors,htc📷 they always speak in whispers,官网📚 lest she overhear. But between you and me,htc😜 she doesn't really understand a single word they say."
"Well,htc🔫 I'm rather afraid,官网👷" said the Doctor doubtfully,香港🅰 "that these people don't celebrate Christmas as a holiday."
CHAPTER VII
Then came the problem of how to sleep. This was not so easy,htc🐡 because,官网🍨 although the foundations of the turtle's mound were of stone,htc🈂 there was hardly a dry spot on the island left where you could lie down. The Doctor tried the canoe. But it was sort of cramped and uncomfortable for sleeping,香港🈚 and now even there,htc🔎 too,首页📘 the mud had been carried by Dab-Dab's feet and his own. In this country the great problem was getting away from the mud.
Now,香港😇 when the Emir of Ellebubu had thrown the Doctor into prison he had refused to allow Dab-Dab,香港🔎 Jip or Gub-Gub to go with him. Jip put up a fight and bit the Emir in the leg. But all he got for that was to be tied up on a short chain.
"But how do you know where the storms are?" asked the Doctor.
"Yes,官网🌒" said Jip,htc📝 putting down his watchman's lantern,官网🏣 "and a mighty good one it is,香港👴 too. There isn't another like it anywhere."
"All this time I was following them secretly and noiselessly overhead. At last the children sat down and the little girl said:
Years afterwards,htc😸 the birds visiting Puddleby told the Doctor that the King still had the flowers in the window-boxes of his old houseboat carefully tended and watered in his memory. His Majesty,htc🍝 they said,首页😇 never gave up the fond hope that some day his good white friend would come back to Fantippo with his kindly smile,首页🚲 his instructive conversation and his jolly tea-parties on the post office veranda.
"And this is what I heard the farmer say to his wife: 'We'll keep the black and white kitten,官网🏠 Liza. I'll drown the other five to-morrow morning. Won't never do to have all them cats running around the place.' His grammar was atrocious.
"They found the Doctor shaving"
"Now,首页🔭 when we children grew up big enough to go off for ourselves our parents gave us all sorts of careful instructions about escaping cats and ferrets and weasels and dogs. But over poor me they shook their heads. They really felt that there was not much hope of my leading a peaceful life with white fur that could be seen a mile off.
"And that is why to this day that farmer and his wife swear their cat can understand English,首页☠ because,香港🅾 they say,首页🏡 she must have heard them when they were talking over the basket. And whenever she's in the room and they are gossiping about the neighbors,官网🔣 they always speak in whispers,香港🍐 lest she overhear. But between you and me,首页🌙 she doesn't really understand a single word they say."
And then John Dolittle,官网🦉 seeing its head for the first time,香港🔪 cried out in great excitement:
"Who's turn is it to give us a story now?" asked the Doctor,首页🏊 when the supper things were cleared away the following evening.
As Quip-the-Carrier disappeared into the distance with the Doctor's priceless pearl Dab-Dab turned to Jip and murmured:
Presently the keeper opened his eyes wide and stared up into the Doctor's face.
THE PUSHMI-PULLYU'S STORY
"'Why,htc👶 it's Jip!' he cried. 'Good dog. Come here. You're the very fellow I want.'
For a long time Dab-Dab,官网🉑 the motherly housekeeper,htc🌎 had been trying to get the Doctor to take a holiday from his post office business.
It was Speedy himself who woke the Doctor at dawn the next day. And while breakfast was being eaten he explained to John Dolittle the arrangements that had been made.
"And that is why to this day that farmer and his wife swear their cat can understand English,官网🔹 because,香港🐝 they say,香港💍 she must have heard them when they were talking over the basket. And whenever she's in the room and they are gossiping about the neighbors,香港🐣 they always speak in whispers,官网👶 lest she overhear. But between you and me,首页🌷 she doesn't really understand a single word they say."
This woman's name was Zuzana and her husband was a very strong and fine-looking man. The King of Fantippo would have kept Zuzana's husband for this reason,香港🚦 because he liked to have strong men at his court. But the slave traders also wanted strong men,官网🚢 for they could do a lot of work on the plantations. And they offered the King of Fantippo a specially high price for Zuzana's husband. And the king had sold him.
