"'What doctor?'" I asked.
And now it came,去就🌹 at last,去就🅱 to the pushmi-pullyu's turn for a story. He was very shy and modest and when the animals asked him the following night he said in his very well-bred manner:
By getting his friends,去就👰 the village mice,去就📕 to help him in the preparation of these nuts,去就📀 he was able to supply them in hundreds. Then all the Doctor had to do when he wanted a drink was to put one in his mouth,去就⛎ crack it with his teeth,去就🏣 and after the cool water had run down his throat,去就📞 spit the broken shells out.
"Good luck!" cried John Dolittle. "You're the very fellow I want. Would you be so good as to run around behind my back and gnaw this beastly rope? It's hurting my wrists."
"Lor' bless us!" muttered Cheapside. "What a wonderful piano-mover 'e would make to be sure! Great Carter Patterson! Does 'e think the Doctor's goin' to 'ang that on 'is watch-chain?"
"I have told you,去就🐆" said the Doctor,去就🚠 "that I don't desire any further conversation with you. Not a single pearl shall you ever get from the Harmattan Fisheries."
"How is the old horse in the stable?" asked John Dolittle.
Mudface's landing on his new home was quite an occasion. The Doctor paddled out alongside of him till they reached the island. Until he set foot on it,去就🔖 John Dolittle himself had not realized what a large piece of ground it was. It was more than a quarter of a mile across. Round in shape,去就📍 it rose gently from the shores to the flat centre,去就♻ which was a good hundred feet above the level of the lake.
"'I am the oldest rat in the town and I know a great deal. But,去就😰 tell me,去就⏰ why do you come here into the dyeing shed?'
"That's the 'Elephants' March,去就🐗'" said the turtle. "They always played it at the Royal Circus of Shalba for the elephants' procession."
And then began a most exciting sea race. It was now two o'clock in the afternoon and there were not many hours of daylight left.
"The Doctor cut off all my fur"
"I should say he did,去就📟" growled Mudface. "But that belongs to the story of the Flood. You have come far. You must be weary and in need of food."
"And what on earth is an invalid?" cried the pushmi-pullyu.
"Why,去就🐍 Cheapside!" cried John Dolittle. "At last you've come. My,去就📟 but it's good to see you! Did you have a pleasant journey?"
"Then I led him into the town. On the way there every once in a while he would say to himself: 'I wonder what can be the matter. Something's wrong,去就⚽ that's sure,去就🎣 or the dog wouldn't carry on so.'
"It's like the mountains peeping out after the Flood,去就🔷" Mudface muttered to the Doctor.
"Who is Cheapside?" asked Speedy.
"Indeed?" said the Doctor. "I would like very much to meet him."
Then,去就🐃 after they had loaded his canoe with a bushel of rosy tomatoes and a bouquet of nasturtiums,去就🎡 the Doctor,去就⚓ with Dab-Dab and Cheapside,去就📑 paddled away for Fantippo,去就📕 while the keepers waved to them from the lighthouse door.
Slowly and smoothly,去就⚓ like some unbelievable monster of former days,去就🐍 the turtle moved his great bulk across his little island and slid himself into the lake without splashing or disturbance of any kind. Only a gentle swirling in the water showed where he had disappeared.
"Oh,去就📧 and by the way,去就🌟" the Captain called after him,去就🍖 "bring a chair up on deck. Perhaps our visitor is tired."
The candles were lighted again and after the carvings had been cleaned the Doctor examined them with great care and even made sketches of some of them in his notebook.
"'Turn back,去就📲 Jip!' gasped the Doctor"
"Ah,去就🚴 hah!" said the King. "A new kind of magic. I understand. Very good. The High Kingdom of Fantippo shall have a post office of its own. And my serene and beautiful face shall be on all the stamps and my letters shall travel by faster magic than any of them."
