"Take him below!" roared the Captain. "Take him below before I kill him."
"Oh,不断💆 come on,丸机👽 Push,不断🦉" said Jip. "Don't be so bashful. We've all told one. You don't mean to say you've lived all your life in the African jungle without seeing any adventures? There must be lots of yarns you could tell us."
"By morning,手动✳" said she,手动💮 "the ship of the wicked slave dealers will be many miles away and I shall never get my husband back. Alas! Alas!"
And in the jungle,不断💒 where the frightened villagers had fled to hide,丸机😃 Obombo made whispered speeches to little scattered groups of his father-in-law's people,不断📍 telling them what fools they had been to trust the crazy white man,丸机⛽ instead of listening to him,丸机☎ who would have led them to greatness."I know,手动👗" said Speedy. "And if we could we would have nested right here in this country to oblige you,丸机😠 and not bothered about going to England this year. It wouldn't have mattered terribly much to miss one summer in the North. But,丸机👊 you see,不断🍟 we swallows can't nest very well in trees. We like houses and barns and buildings to nest in."
The Doctor had not paddled very far on his return journey to the post office when the seagull who had brought the news of the light overtook him.
"It came in handy for them,手动🆕 too. That part of the country got flooded one springtime in the middle of the night and there wasn't a dry match or a light to be had anywhere. Then those children,手动🚐 who had traveled all that country scores of times in the dark with me,丸机📔 saved a great many lives. They acted as guides,不断🐼 you understand,不断📔 and took the people to safety,不断💶 because they knew how to use their eyes,手动🚊 and the others didn't."
"How dare you speak to me like that? I am the Emir of Ellebubu,不断🌊" he thundered."How do they do it?" asked Gub-Gub.
CHAPTER VI
It was a great day at the Doctor's post office when Cheapside,手动🍤 the London sparrow,不断🚚 arrived from Puddleby to look after the city deliveries for Fantippo.
"And not a bite to eat shall you ever have till I do,手动🍂" the Emir yelled.
"Well anyway thank goodness she rose in time!" said the Doctor,手动🚛 shaking the water out of his ears. "I was never so near drowning in my life. I suppose I'd better make myself a little more presentable before she gets her head out of water."
