Then the Violet swung her great bow around to the north once more and sailed away for England,钉子户🛂 while the bluejackets crowded the rail and sent three hearty cheers for the Doctor ringing across the sea.
"Looking into all the bays"
While the Doctor was examining them with great curiosity the turtle said:
The cross-eyed Wilkins was still seated at the table,钉子户✒ as Dab-Dab had described,四周💶 counting pearls. Two other men were asleep in bunks around the room. The Doctor swung open the door and jumped in. Instantly Wilkins sprang up from the table,钉子户❌ snatched a pistol from his belt and leveled it at the Doctor's head.
"Well,钉子户📀 now,四周🚞 look here,钉子户💿 Cheapside,四周🎾" said the Doctor. "We want you to get these city deliveries straightened out for us in the town of Fantippo. Our post birds are having great difficulty finding the right houses to take letters to. You're a city-bird,钉子户🐁 born and bred. Do you think you can help us?"
But while the Doctor was still thanking the Chief for the beautiful present,四周🌠 Quip-the-Carrier flew up with a letter for him.
"Jip hung up the sign"
King Koko got to hear of this and he called up one of these stamp collectors and asked him why men should offer high prices for one old used stamp. And the white man explained to him this new craze for stamp collecting that was sweeping over the civilized world.
CHAPTER I
"What is the fastest foreign mail delivery ever made by any post office anywhere in the world?"
"I'll see what I can do for you,钉子户🌒 Doc,四周📩" said the Sparrow,四周🚕 "after I've taken a look around this 'eathen town of yours. But first I want a bath. I'm all heat up from flying under a broiling sun. Ain't you got no puddles round here for a bird to take a bath in?"
"Well,钉子户📺 you should have seen the excitement among the people then! The owner of the watch and chain was there and he raised a terrible row. And then it came out that these dogs had been taking things from their masters' homes to hire bones with. The people were dreadfully annoyed. They closed up our bone shop and put us out of business. But they never discovered that the money we had made had gone to the beggar.
"And then he told me all about Doctor Dolittle. This was around the time when the Doctor first began to be famous among the animals. But I,钉子户🚠 living alone with the old rat at the dyer's shed,四周😫 had not heard the news.
"I'm awfully glad to hear from him again,钉子户🎠" said the Doctor. "I had given up all hope of ever seeing him. You can show me how to get to him?"
"All right,四周🔳" said the Doctor,钉子户✋ hurrying into his coat. "Wait just a moment till I wake Dab-Dab."
"Well,钉子户📲 in that way,四周🚘 keeping ahead of them and calling like a cat,四周🌱 I finally led the children right out of the woods. They did a good deal of stumbling and the girl's long hair often got caught in the bushes. But I always waited for them if they were lagging behind. At last,钉子户🐍 when we gained the open fields,四周🐥 we saw three houses on the sky line,四周🚷 and the middle one was all lighted up and people with lanterns were running around it,四周🚈 hunting in all directions.
Cheapside's help was,四周🔫 indeed,四周🚌 most valuable to the Doctor. The King himself said that the mails were wonderfully managed. The letters were brought regularly and never left at the wrong house.
Then Speedy whispered in the Doctor's ear:
"Mudface."
"What is it? What's the matter?" he shouted into the darkness over the sea.
WEATHER BUREAUS
"Well,钉子户⏰ for what parts of the world do you want to know the weather,钉子户😺 Doctor?" asked the gull. "If it's just for Fantippo or West Africa it will be easy as pie. All you ever get here is tornadoes. The rest of the year is just frying heat. But if you want to prophesy the weather for the Straits of Magellan or Nova Zembla or those countries where they have all sorts of fancy weathers,四周📲 it will be a different matter. Even prophesying the weather for England would keep you busy. Myself,钉子户🎁 I never thought that the weather itself knew what it was going to do next in England."
"They'd run off with it and swallow it"
The educational side of the Doctor's post office was a very important one and it grew all the time. As he had said to the Skimmer at the beginning,钉子户📥 as soon as the birds and animals realized the helpfulness of having a post office of their own they used it more and more.
