"The trees bent down with his weight"
The lighthouse keepers were sorry to have the Doctor go and they wouldn't let him leave till he promised to come and take dinner with them next Sunday.
Then,待遇♿ after they had loaded his canoe with a bushel of rosy tomatoes and a bouquet of nasturtiums,贺优琳🛃 the Doctor,公学📡 with Dab-Dab and Cheapside,贺优琳🚥 paddled away for Fantippo,贺优琳📤 while the keepers waved to them from the lighthouse door.
"With a thrill of triumph,公学📰 I dropped the precious ostrich skin before their very eyes into the swirling river,公学🍦 where it quickly disappeared from view. A howl of rage went up from the Badamoshis.
At length reaching the great glass lamp chamber at the top,待遇🏢 he set down his candle and,公学🐹 striking two matches at once he held one in each hand and lit the big wick in two places.
"'Oh,待遇🙏 Willie,贺优琳🚏' says the little girl to her brother,贺优琳🐬 'we're saved!' ('Saved,待遇🚨' mark you,贺优琳⁉ when neither of the boobies was in the slightest danger!) 'We're saved!' says she. 'There's Tuffie,贺优琳👆 our cat,待遇🎣 come for us. She'll show us the way home. Cats can always find their way home,待遇🍛 can't they,待遇😣 Willie? Let's follow her!'"
"'I am terribly sorry for your bad luck,待遇🚣' said he when I had ended. 'But I'm glad I caught you before you went back into captivity. Because I think I can guide you to a way out of your troubles.'
And in the meantime he went back and continued the work of getting the domestic mail service in good running order at the post office at Fantippo.
"He hasn't any matches on him,贺优琳😿" she shouted. "Not a single one."
"There you are!" said Too-Too. "He has a vegetable mind."
PEARLS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS
The long journey was over at last.
"Some time ago,贺优琳🐬" Jip began,贺优琳😂 "I knew a dog who was a beggar's dog. We met by chance one day,公学🎫 when a butcher's cart had an accident and got upset. The butcher's boy who was driving the cart was a stupid boy whom all the dogs of that town heartily disliked. So when his cart hit a lamp-post and over-turned,贺优琳🐙 spilling mutton chops and joints all over the street,公学🏭 we dogs were quickly on the scene and ran off with all his meat before he had time to pick himself up out of the gutter.
Soon,公学😼 when the sky over the lake was beginning to fill up with circling ospreys,待遇🍶 herons and albatrosses,公学⛵ Speedy left the Doctor and flew off to join them. There,公学💷 taking up a position in the sky right over the centre of the lake,公学😌 he hovered motionless,待遇📘 as a marker for the stone-droppers. Then the work began.
After supper had been served and eaten and the Doctor had been made to tell the story of the pearl fisheries all over again for the benefit of his own family circle,贺优琳🍸 he at last turned to the enormous pile of letters which were waiting for him. They came,待遇📦 as usual,公学🌑 from all parts of the world,待遇🙋 from every conceivable kind of animal and bird. For hours he waded patiently through them,贺优琳💻 answering them as they came. Speedy acted as his secretary and took down in bird and animal scribble the answers that the Doctor reeled off by the dozen. Often John Dolittle dictated so fast that the poor Skimmer had to get Too-Too (who had a wonderful memory) to come and help listen,待遇❄ so nothing should be missed through not writing it down quick enough.
"Pearls!" whispered Dab-Dab in an awed voice,待遇🍴 gazing down into the Doctor's palm. "Pink pearls!"
"What charming children you have,贺优琳🔓" said the Doctor to the mother spoonbill,贺优琳🍒 who was watching them proudly. "I'm glad they've got their playthings safely back. I wouldn't have had them lose them for anything."
"'Well,公学💐' I said,公学🏈 'people hire out bicycles and pianos for rent,待遇🍀 don't they? So,公学💕 why can't you and I rent out bones for dogs to chew? They won't be able to pay us in money of course,贺优琳🍸 so we'll get them to bring us things,待遇🛃 instead. Then the beggar can sell the things and get money.'
"'Who is your master?' I said. 'Anybody would think you were going to paint the portrait yourself.'
"I will not leave here,公学⛽" said John Dolittle,贺优琳🍁 standing squarely in the door,公学🍰 "till you have windows put in this prison. It's a disgrace to lock up anyone in a place without windows."
"Oh,贺优琳😅 and by the way,贺优琳🔍" the Captain called after him,贺优琳📦 "bring a chair up on deck. Perhaps our visitor is tired."
"You,待遇💅 Doctor,待遇🚸" said the deep voice of the piffilosaurus at his elbow,待遇😙 "are the first human in a thousand years that has set foot here. The last one was King Kakaboochi's mother-in-law."
Dab-Dab,公学🈷 as soon as she got the message,待遇💝 went straight off to the pearl fisheries and gave the Doctor's instructions to the cormorants.
The Captain came up to him and shook his fist in his face.
