"But I don't understand,西游记☝" said John Dolittle. "I thought Wilkins had made off with them."
"Of course,西游记🎌 there's Sarah,西游记🚂" the Doctor went on puffing at his pipe dreamily. "Poor dear Sarah! I wonder whom she married. But there you are,小说🔕 I haven't her address. So I can't write to Sarah. And I don't suppose any of my old patients would want to hear from me."
"More food!" murmured Too-Too. "What did I tell you?"
Now,西游记🌝 the Doctor really had not got everything ready yet to work the foreign mails properly and he was about to explain to the King. But Speedy hopped up on the desk and whispered:
Slowly and smoothly the snake slid in over the window sill and down on to the floor of the houseboat. Yards and yards and more yards long he came,小说😇 coiling himself up neatly at John Dolittle's feet like a mooring rope on a ship's deck.
Of course such an entirely new thing as this required a great deal of learning and working out before it could be made to run smoothly. Something new,小说📙 some fresh problem,西游记🚑 cropped up every day. But although the Doctor,西游记🌜 at all times a busy man,西游记👐 was positively worked to death,小说🍅 he found it all so interesting that he didn't mind. But the motherly Dab-Dab was dreadfully worried about him; for indeed at the beginning he seemed never to sleep at all.
"Of a story?" cried Too-Too.
"I would like,西游记😭" said the Doctor,幻想🐓 "to be able to prophesy weather for every part of the world. I really don't see why I shouldn't; this office,西游记📄 together with my branch offices,小说🐮 is in communication with birds going to every corner of the earth. I could improve the farming and the agriculture of the whole human race. But also,小说⭐ and especially,西游记➕ I want to have a bureau for ocean weather,幻想📦 to help the ships."
Very well,西游记🔖 then. Now,西游记📮 it happened one day that a ship called at the coast of West Africa,幻想😙 and delivered a letter for Koko,小说🏭 the King of Fantippo. King Koko had never seen a stamp before and,幻想🚡 sending for a white merchant who lived in his town,西游记🐭 he asked him what queen's face was this on the stamp which the letter bore.
So the Doctor turned out his waistcoat pockets. These brought forth two watches (one that went and one that didn't),幻想💤 a measuring tape,西游记📉 a piece of cobbler's wax,幻想🚡 a penny with a hole through it and a clinical thermometer.
"How does the garden look,幻想➗ Cheapside?" asked the Doctor.
"Give me the message,幻想🏠" said the white mouse,幻想✌ "and I'll hand it to Dab-Dab before you can say Jack Robinson. She's sitting in the tree,西游记🏥 where the hole comes out."
They took John Dolittle all over the lighthouse to see the workings of it. And outside they showed him with great pride the tiny garden of tomatoes and nasturtiums which they had planted near the foot of the tower.
It was the sound of a seabird,幻想🍪 calling away out at sea. Now,幻想💒 seabirds don't,幻想🐍 as a rule,幻想🔐 call very much unless they are in great numbers. This call sounded like a single bird. The Doctor put his head through the window and looked out.
And later,幻想🚝 after the nesting was all over,幻想💳 there were more than twice as many birds as there were before,幻想📘 of course. And you simply couldn't get on to the ship for the tons and tons of mud on her.
Then all three men sprang on him with ropes and in a minute his arms and legs were tied and the fight was over.
"Good heavens!" cried the Doctor. "What can have happened? There's a lighthouse keeper living there to attend to it. Was it lighted earlier in the evening?"
He got no answer. But soon,西游记🚎 with a rush of wings that nearly blew his candle out,西游记🦋 a great seagull swept down on to the houseboat rail beside him.
"Don't bother,幻想🚜 Doctor. He would never believe you,小说➖ anyway. It was the gun of the man that made the mistake before that we used. Let him take the credit. They'll likely give him a medal,西游记🐌 and then he'll feel better."
In the meantime the Emir,幻想🈵 celebrating victory in his palace,西游记⛽ gave orders that the Harmattan Rocks,西游记🌆 which were now to be called the Royal Ellebubu Pearl Fisheries,小说🆖 would henceforth be his exclusive,小说🍍 private property,小说📋 and no trespassing would be allowed. And he sent out six special men with orders to take over the islands and to bring all the pearls to him.
Then John Dolittle started turning his trousers pockets out onto the table to try and find something that reminded him of a story. It was certainly a wonderful collection of objects that he brought forth. There were pieces of string and pieces of wire,幻想🚦 stub ends of pencils,西游记🛅 pocket-knives with the blades broken,小说🙆 coat buttons,西游记📢 boot buttons,西游记🔵 a magnifying glass,小说💳 a compass and a corkscrew.
"Couldn't you use the houses of Fantippo?" asked the Doctor.
"Keep right on,幻想🏰 Doctor,小说☀" said the gull. "I'm going off to get some friends of mine."
"Good morning,西游记💐 Your Majesty,小说🐭" said the Doctor. "Do you happen to know what kind of animal this bone belongs to?"
