"'Look here,水银⛽' he said to the beggar. 'Would you like me to re-draw all your pictures for you? Of course,水银🚮 those done on the pavement you couldn't sell,水银⛲ but we can rub them out. And I've got some spare canvases in my satchel here. Maybe you could sell a few. I can sell pictures in London any day in the week. But I've never been a pavement artist before. It would be rather a lark to see what happens.'
"He found his mother and father still asleep when he got back. So after carefully hiding his Magic Cucumber under the floor of the cow barn,水银🏮 he crept into the sty and went fast asleep.
"Then you should have seen those poor children jump!
"Mixing the turtle's medicine"
John Dolittle had no idea of what he meant to do. Nor was the gull himself sure that he would be in time to succeed with the plan he had in mind. But presently,水银⭐ to his delight,出售😔 the seabird heard his call being answered from the rocky shores shrouded in darkness. And soon he had hundreds of his brother gulls circling round him in the night.
"'How ever did you find your way,出售🚡 Willie?' asked the mother,出售👸 wiping away her tears and smiling all over.
"I don't think we ought to go back there,出售🈳" said Begwe. "I don't mind being a soldier in the Fantippo army,水银❔ but suppose some other slaver comes along. Maybe the king would sell me again. Did you send that letter to our cousin?"
Then the engine boy,出售🀄 also anxious that his ship should have the honor of capturing Bones,出售🏣 tied down the safety valve on the steam engine,出售🔗 to make her go faster,水银🎫 and then went up on deck to see the show. And soon,水银😔 of course,水银🌵 one of the Violet's brand new boilers burst with a terrific bang and made an awful mess of the engine room.
And he realized now,出售🍀 as he listened to Zuzana,出售🍁 what was wrong with the Fantippo post office and why she had never got an answer to the letter which would have saved her husband from slavery.
The old Chief sank into his chair as he ended and burst out weeping. The Doctor went up and patted him on the shoulder.
CHAPTER II
"Well,水银💖 Speedy,出售✖" said John Dolittle. "What is it?"
Then King Koko again begged him to take charge of the post office and try to get it running in proper order. And the Doctor said he would see what he could do. And,出售🐟 going into the post office,水银🐵 he took off his coat and set to work.
"I suspect,水银💝" said Speedy,出售🚃 "that you'll find most of the letters will be written to you,出售❇ Doctor. I've met birds all over creation who wanted to know what you looked like,出售♑ what you ate for breakfast and all sorts of silly things about you."
It was a long but a most interesting journey that the Doctor took from Fantippo to Lake Junganyika. It turned out that the turtle's home lay many miles inland in the heart of one of the wildest,出售❄ most jungly parts of Africa.
And now Jip,水银😘 Dab-Dab,水银😂 Gub-Gub,水银🔊 Too-Too and the rest of them gathered around John Dolittle and wanted to hear all about his adventures. And it was tea time before he had done telling them. So the Doctor asked Zuzana and her husband to take tea with him before they went ashore.
"Oh,出售🔹 not in the least,出售🚣" said the Doctor. "You birds have been most helpful to me. Tell Speedy I'll come to see him as soon as I've got my trousers on and we'll talk it over. Something can be arranged,出售♑ I have no doubt."
"Yes,水银📦 yes,出售🍻" said the Doctor. "Go on. I remember Columbus writing of land birds in his diary. Go on."
"I think it might be all right,出售😯" said Speedy,出售🆎 "if we can get the other birds to go in with us on the idea."
"John Dolittle saw him snooping around the post office"
One morning in the first week of the return voyage when John Dolittle and his animals were all sitting at breakfast round the big table in the cabin,出售😜 one of the swallows came down and said that he wanted to speak to the Doctor.
"Oh,水银🍥 indeed,水银🚋" said the bird. "And why don't the ladies in the country wear them,水银👊 too?"
"Gracious,水银📩 Cheapside!" said the Doctor,水银📔 laughing. "It makes me quite homesick for England to hear your Cockney chirp."
"Now,出售📟" said the Doctor,水银🏯 closing the window,出售🐆 "what can I do for you?"
During the course of the next day's travel the country became,出售📎 as the snake had foretold,出售✅ freer and more open. Little by little the islands grew fewer and the mangroves not so tangly. In the dreary views there was less land and more water. The going was much easier now. For miles at a stretch the Doctor could paddle,水银📌 without the help of his guide,水银🍈 in water that seemed to be quite deep. It was indeed a change to be able to look up and see a clear sky overhead once in a while,出售🍛 instead of that everlasting network of swamp trees. Across the heavens the travelers now occasionally saw flights of wild ducks and geese,水银👲 winging their way eastward.
