For a moment or two the pushmi-pullyu pawed the deck of the veranda with his dainty hoofs,下载🔴 as if wrapped in deep thought. Then,火柴🏃 looking up with one of his heads,下载🍩 he began speaking in a quiet voice,火柴🙌 while the other coughed apologetically below the level of the tea-table.
"No,下载📀 but his wife can,酷刑❇" said Jip.
"I'll bet it's Jack Wilkins,酷刑🐚 the cross-eyed pearl fisherman,火柴❗" whispered Dab-Dab. "A man with a face like that would steal anything. And he was the only one,酷刑🌜 besides us and Speedy,酷刑🍁 who knew the pearls were going through the mails. It's Wilkins,下载🔎 sure as you're alive."
CHAPTER IV
"His only interest in life is food,下载🔤 anyway,酷刑📐" said Too-Too. "Let someone else tell a story."
"How was it that you were the one chosen to bring the message?" asked the Doctor.
One evening at six o'clock Jip shut the doors of the post office as usual,火柴✒ and hung up the sign "Closed" as he always did at that hour. The Doctor heard the bolts being shot and he stopped counting postcards and took out his pipe to have a smoke.
The Doctor sprang across the room,火柴🐳 upsetting a chair on his way,酷刑🔫 and felt along the wall. His hand touched the corner of a stone shelf and the next moment Dab-Dab gave a deep sigh of relief,下载💑 for she heard the cheerful rattle of a box of matches as the Doctor fumbled to strike a light.
"We know,下载🌐 before we reach one,火柴💍 where it is. And we go around it. No experienced sea bird ever runs his head into a bad storm."
And the government got quite worked up about it. And they sent the Royal Meteorologist,下载🚳 an old gray-haired weather man,火柴👥 down to Fantippo to see how the Doctor was doing it.
"Now,下载💙" said the Doctor,下载🏂 closing the window,酷刑🐒 "what can I do for you?"
The next night,火柴📋 when they were again seated around the veranda after supper,下载📦 the Doctor asked: "Now,火柴🌎 who's going to tell us a story to-night? Didn't Gub-Gub say he had one for us?"
And the frightened minister moved back among the crowd so the Doctor's evil gaze could not fall upon his face.
Zuzana described to the Doctor how she had followed the white man's ship a long way out in a canoe,火柴🍪 imploring them to give her back her husband. But they had only laughed at her and gone on their way. And their ship had soon passed out of sight.
Even Zuzana stopped her wailing and turned to look. And there,火柴🎳 away out on the dim,火柴🍈 black edge of the ocean,火柴👴 they could see a tiny light.
Well,火柴🏨 after ten days John Dolittle got what is called the Domestic Mails in pretty good shape. Domestic mails are those that carry letters from one part of a country to another part of the same country,下载📆 or from one part of a city to another. The mails that carry letters outside the country to foreign lands are called Foreign Mails. To have a regular and good service of foreign mails in the Fantippo post office the Doctor found a hard problem,火柴🌉 because the mail ships which could carry letters abroad did not come very often to this port. Fantippo,下载🍉 although King Koko was most proud of it,酷刑🏩 was not considered a very important country among the regular civilized nations and two or three ships a year were all that ever called there.
Soon hisses and groans broke out among the crowd and,火柴🆘 picking up pebbles and mud,下载🍆 they began pelting Obombo so he could not go on with his speech. Finally he had to run for the jungle himself to escape the fury of the people.
CHAPTER VI
"That was a queer-looking customer,下载😺 wasn't he?" he said to Dab-Dab.
"All right,酷刑👶 Gub-Gub,酷刑🎢" said the Doctor,下载❌ "I'll see what I can do. We will send a letter to England by the next mail going out and ask the thrushes to bring you your Brussels sprouts."
"How is the old horse in the stable?" asked John Dolittle.
Then when King Koko had got his mail-men,酷刑🐧 the Royal Fantippo post office began really working. Letters were collected from the boxes at street corners and sent off when ships called; and incoming mail was delivered at the doors of the houses in Fantippo three times a day. The post office became the busiest place in town.
"What's a strike?" asked Gub-Gub.
CHAPTER III
And then John Dolittle,酷刑🐏 seeing its head for the first time,酷刑🎡 cried out in great excitement:
"Very good,下载🚆 Doctor,酷刑🌉" said the swallow,下载💜 turning to go. "I'll tell the Skimmer what you say."
The Doctor found that His Majesty was much more distressed at the prospect of losing his good white friend and his afternoon tea on the houseboat than at anything else which the change would bring. But he saw that the Doctor really felt he had to go; and at length,下载📠 with tears falling into his tea-cup,火柴🐅 he gave permission for the Postmaster General of Fantippo to resign.
