"So,战神💳 picking myself up wearily,加点🌷 I started off for the miller's shop. On the threshold I paused a moment. It was a terrible step I was about to take. I gazed miserably down the street,龙女⬛ thinking upon the hardness of life and the sadness of love,战神⛪ and there,刺客🔻 coming toward me,龙女🌏 with a bandage around his tail,龙女💃 was my own brother!
Dab-Dab screwed up her eyes and peered at it closely.
Then he turned to the prison guards,刺客🆗 gave instructions that the Doctor was not to be fed till further orders and stalked out. The door slammed shut with a doleful clang and after one decent breath of fresh air the Doctor was left in the darkness of his stuffy dungeon.
"Great heavens!" cried the Doctor,龙女🏠 springing up. "The pearls gone? And they were registered,刺客🐤 too!"
"Entering the shed,龙女🍍 I met a rat,战神⬜ very old and very thin. Said he to me:In a moment he was clattering down the stairs.
"I know,战神🌕" said Speedy. "And if we could we would have nested right here in this country to oblige you,龙女📂 and not bothered about going to England this year. It wouldn't have mattered terribly much to miss one summer in the North. But,龙女🔳 you see,战神🚤 we swallows can't nest very well in trees. We like houses and barns and buildings to nest in."
"Where is that?" asked the Doctor.
"'There she is!' said the little girl. 'She's calling to us. Come along,龙女🎏 Willie.'
"And where might No-Man's-Land be?" said John Dolittle.
"Putting the King's bicycle together"
And,龙女💛 taking down his clothes off his own head,龙女💈 the Doctor smartened up his high hat and dressed himself,刺客🚜 while the strange thing that had saved their lives carried them steadily and firmly toward the mysterious island.
"To Chief Nyam-Nyam and his people,加点🏥 of course. He owns the Harmattan Rocks. Would you mind,加点📱" the Doctor asked,刺客❎ turning to the cormorant,战神🍭 "getting me a few oysters of this kind to look at?"
"So there I sat,加点👫 shivering on the river bank,龙女🏨 in the depths of despair. And presently I saw the sky in the east growing pale and I knew that morning was coming. Daylight! That for me meant more hunting and running and jeering,战神😅 as soon as the sun should show my ridiculous color.
THE GREAT MAIL ROBBERY"Don't worry,龙女🏧 Doctor,战神🌰 I'll get it to her,战神🔭" said the mouse. "I've just found an old rat hole over here in the corner. I popped down it and it goes under the wall and comes out by the root of the tree on the other side of the road from the prison."
"Thank you,加点🌝" said the gull. "I am feeling kind of peckish myself. You are very kind. This is the first time I've eaten ship's food inside a ship."
Title: Doctor Dolittle's Post Office
The Doctor was eating his lunch of sandwiches at the information desk when the little bird popped his head through the window and said in his cheeky Cockney voice:
"It was certainly a wonderful collection of objects"
"You look rather worn out from your journey. Is there anything I can get you?"
"I sent them to myself,龙女🙎" said Gub-Gub,刺客🌺 "from Fantippo yesterday. I don't see why you fellows should get all the mail. Nobody writes to me,战神🙉 so I write to myself."
This time the officers all burst out laughing and tapped their foreheads knowingly,龙女💆 to show they thought the Doctor was crazy. And the Captain,战神💉 thinking he was being made a fool of,龙女👔 flew into a rage once more and was all for having the Doctor arrested again.GULLS AND SHIPS
Then the Doctor and Jip went back to Fantippo,加点💕 carried by the piffilosaurus,加点🚃 who landed them on the shore under cover of night,加点🚧 so no one would see them. And in the morning John Dolittle called upon the King again.
