But with this new trade in selling stamps for stamp collections,作用🚂 and not for proper mailing purposes,正骨🚄 the Fantippo mail service was neglected and became very bad.
"Great heavens,敷贴✋ Gub-Gub!" the Doctor exclaimed. "Don't you think I'm busy enough already? What do you want a parcel post for?"
Then came the problem of how to sleep. This was not so easy,敷贴➕ because,作用♑ although the foundations of the turtle's mound were of stone,段氏♦ there was hardly a dry spot on the island left where you could lie down. The Doctor tried the canoe. But it was sort of cramped and uncomfortable for sleeping,作用🍜 and now even there,作用🙋 too,敷贴🍇 the mud had been carried by Dab-Dab's feet and his own. In this country the great problem was getting away from the mud.
And the poor Doctor was dragged away by the Master-at-arms toward a stair leading to the lower decks. But at the head of the stairs he caught hold of the handrail and hung on long enough to shout back to the Captain:"Oh,正骨⌚ yes,作用🚆" said John Dolittle. "All in good time,作用❣ Dab-Dab."
"The British post office is now boasting,敷贴🆖" said the Doctor,敷贴📕 "that it can get a letter from London to Canada in fourteen days."
"So,敷贴🚊 after that,敷贴📮 of course,正骨🌸 I saw that if I wanted to save my good but foolish friends from destruction,敷贴🍊 I had better do something on my own account.For some time after the turtle finished no one spoke. Even the irreverent Cheapside was silent. Little bits of stars,敷贴📎 dimmed by the light of a half-full moon,作用🎎 twinkled like tiny eyes in the dim blue dome that arched across the lake. Away off somewhere among the tangled mangroves an owl hooted from the swamp and Too-Too turned his head quickly to listen. Dab-Dab,段氏🚉 the economical housekeeper,正骨☔ seeing the Doctor close his notebook and put away his pencil,段氏🐳 blew out the candle.
"Now,段氏🌑 when we children grew up big enough to go off for ourselves our parents gave us all sorts of careful instructions about escaping cats and ferrets and weasels and dogs. But over poor me they shook their heads. They really felt that there was not much hope of my leading a peaceful life with white fur that could be seen a mile off.
This woman's name was Zuzana and her husband was a very strong and fine-looking man. The King of Fantippo would have kept Zuzana's husband for this reason,作用🍱 because he liked to have strong men at his court. But the slave traders also wanted strong men,敷贴📢 for they could do a lot of work on the plantations. And they offered the King of Fantippo a specially high price for Zuzana's husband. And the king had sold him.
"'So am I,作用✡' said the boy. 'Ever since Aunt Emily told us that spooky story of the "Bogey in the Cup-board" I've been scared to death of the dark.'
The birds,敷贴🚘 who at first followed the Doctor in droves around the main island wherever he went,作用❔ presently returned to their ordinary doings when the newness of his arrival had worn off. And after Dab-Dab had come back from her hunt and told him the spoonbill lived on one of the smaller islands,作用☝ he got back into his canoe and paddled over to the rock she pointed out.
