"I'll go out with her,焊接📋 Doctor,技术员🐖" said Dab-Dab,技术员💣 "and do a little fishing on my own account. I can dive pretty deep,技术员🐁 though I'm not a regular diving duck. Maybe I can get some pearls for you."
"I'll go out with her,技术员🔡 Doctor,焊接📁" said Dab-Dab,招聘💾 "and do a little fishing on my own account. I can dive pretty deep,技术员🐇 though I'm not a regular diving duck. Maybe I can get some pearls for you."
Suddenly an officer shouted "Fire!" And with a crash that shook the ship from stem to stern eight big cannon balls went whistling out across the water.
After twenty minutes had gone by John Dolittle began to get worried,招聘🍂 because the Skimmer,焊接🌞 with his tremendous speed,焊接👲 should have had time to get there and back long ago.
While the Doctor was examining them with great curiosity the turtle said:NO-MAN'S-LAND
"'Ah,招聘🔉 hah!' he cried. 'A white mouse! The very thing I've been wanting!'
"Where is Wilkins?" he asked in a dazed,招聘✉ sleepy kind of way.
All attempts to trace the writer having failed,波峰📬 the Doctor,波峰🗽 after two days,焊接🚏 gave it up and went back to his regular work. This kept him so busy for the next week that he finally forgot all about the turtle and his mysterious letter.A little while after that,焊接🐉 by using the larger birds to carry packages,招聘📪 a regular parcel post every two months was put at the service of the Fantippans; and alarm clocks and all sorts of things from England were sent for.
Then he went to call on the King,波峰🌓 as he did every so often. And in the course of conversation John Dolittle asked His Majesty if he knew who the white stranger might be that had called at the houseboat for a postal order.
After about an hour had passed he heard a gentle sort of whispered quacking high overhead and he knew that his faithful housekeeper was returning. Presently,波峰💴 with a swish of feathers,技术员🍉 Dab-Dab settled down at his feet. And on her face was an expression which meant great news.
"We married her off,波峰✖" said the great creature,技术员🍥 nibbling idly at a lily stalk. "We couldn't stand her here,技术员🔦 any more than the King could. You never heard anybody talk so in all your life. Yes,焊接🌔 we carried her one dark night by sea far down the coast of Africa and left her at the palace door of a deaf king,波峰📩 who ruled over a small country south of the Congo River. He married her. Of course,技术员📧 being deaf,招聘📇 he didn't mind her everlasting chatter in the least."
The Captain looked with astonishment into the faces of his listening officers,技术员🚧 who all smiled unbelievingly.
"It was marked 'Urgent,焊接🔌' in red ink,招聘👎 Doctor,技术员📅" said the swallow,焊接💀 "so Speedy thought he had better send it to you by special delivery."
"He isn't old enough to tell a good story,波峰💷" said Dab-Dab. "He hasn't had any experience."
"I put the parcel down"But after many hours of terrific labor,波峰📯 trying to get letters sorted and the place in order,波峰⚽ John Dolittle saw that such a tremendous job as setting the Fantippo post office to rights would not be a matter of a day or two. It would take weeks at least. So he told this to the King. Then the Doctor's ship was brought into the harbor and put safely at anchor and the animals were all taken ashore. And a nice,焊接🏢 new house on the main street was given over to the Doctor for himself and his pets to live in while the work of straightening out the Fantippo mails was going on.
"Yes,招聘🏬" said Zuzana. "But I don't think he ever got it. Because no answer came."
He got no answer. But soon,焊接🚽 with a rush of wings that nearly blew his candle out,招聘➰ a great seagull swept down on to the houseboat rail beside him.It was a great day at the Doctor's post office when Cheapside,波峰🚕 the London sparrow,波峰🍱 arrived from Puddleby to look after the city deliveries for Fantippo.
Then Cheapside got together a gang of his tough London sparrow friends and one night they flew into the palace garden and mobbed the white peacock and pulled three feathers out of his beautiful tail.
