"Well,小说💒 we got chatting,潇潇💪 the way people do,小说🦆 and I found out that the cat lived at a farmer's house about a quarter of a mile down the Oxenthorpe Road. Then I walked part of the way home with her,中雨📐 still chatting,潇潇🚃 and I found that she was a very agreeable individual. I told her about the rats in the stable and the difficulty I had in making them behave,小说® because the Doctor wouldn't allow any one to kill them. And she said,小说🔑 if I wished,小说🚯 she'd sleep in the stable a few nights and the rats would probably leave as soon as they smelled her around.
The Doctor sprang across the room,潇潇🐍 upsetting a chair on his way,中雨👡 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,潇潇🍇 for she heard the cheerful rattle of a box of matches as the Doctor fumbled to strike a light.
"Come on,小说😁" he cried. "We must find the kitchen. That canary will know where the matches are kept. Find the kitchen!"
"Oh,全部🎽 and hurry back,全部🏰 Dab-Dab,潇潇🈯" the Doctor called after her as she flapped her way through the open window and set off across the sea with her burden. "I'm going to start right away for Chief Nyam-Nyam's country as soon as you are ready.
"Yes,潇潇🚰" said Speedy,小说🎅 "here's the thrush himself. He'll tell you all about it."
The King examined it,全部📼 then shook his head. He didn't know much about bones.
"Not at all,小说🐝" said the turtle. "I'll go down and try to get you something right away."
By the following morning everything was in readiness to put to sea. The anchor was drawn up and with all sail set the Doctor's ship moved northward before a favorable wind. And it is from this point that my story begins.
"Do any other animals live here?" asked the Doctor.
The Captain came up to him and shook his fist in his face.
"But we never thought where the dogs might be getting all these things they brought us. The truth is,中雨📘 we didn't bother very much,小说📑 I'm afraid. Anyway at the end of our first week of brisk trade we noticed a great many people going through the streets as though they were looking for something. And presently these people,全部🙎 seeing our shop in the empty lot,潇潇✏ gathered around us,潇潇📠 talking to one another. And while they were talking a retriever came up to me with a gold watch and chain in his mouth,中雨🙎 which he wanted to exchange for a ham bone.
"I could tell you where Jimmie Bones is,潇潇👪 if I wanted to."
"Whazhat?" said Dab-Dab,潇潇🍵 sleepily opening her eyes. "Stove's gone out?"
The Doctor said he never had the slightest idea of what he was eating,潇潇🍄 but as the mealy mixture was highly digestible and nutritious he did not see why he should mind. To supply his master with water the mouse got nuts,小说🚩 and after gnawing a tiny hole in one end he would chop the nut inside into pieces and shake it out through the hole. Then he would fill the empty shell with water and seal up the hole with gum arabic which he got from trees. The water-filled nuts were a little heavy for him to carry,潇潇🚤 so Dab-Dab would bring them from the river as far as the outside end of the rat hole,潇潇🔐 and the white mouse would roll them down the hole into the prison.
"They say rolling,小说🐭 fertile country,潇潇🔰 waving corn and sunny hilltops,全部✋" the snake replied. "That is what I have heard. I was not there to see. Mudface,全部♑ the turtle,中雨💀 will tell you all about it."
"What are you going to say to Wilkins,中雨🆒 Doctor?" asked Dab-Dab as the canoe glided along over the moonlit sea. "It's a pity you haven't got a pistol or something like that. He looks a desperate character and he isn't likely to give up the pearls without a fight."
Next Wednesday,小说⛎ July 18,小说🍖 the Red-Winged Plovers will leave this office for Denmark and points on the Skager Rack. Post your mail early,中雨🎸 please. All letters should bear a four-penny stamp. Small packages will also be carried on this flight for Morocco,潇潇💇 Portugal and the Channel Islands.
Poor Mudface awoke with an acute attack of gout. He had not been bothered by this ailment since the Doctor's arrival. But now he could scarcely move at all without great pain. And Dab-Dab brought his breakfast to him where he lay.
PARCEL POST
"Dab-Dab,中雨🐆 the economical housekeeper,潇潇😖 blew out the candle"
Now his pets,小说✏ after the post office work got sort of settled and regular,中雨🚘 often found it somewhat hard to amuse themselves in the evenings. One night they were all sitting around on the veranda of the houseboat wondering what game they could play when Jip suddenly said:
"I went to her farm and found her in the farm-yard. I thanked her for what she had done and asked her why she hadn't been around to my place of late.
"'I've tried,小说🉑' I said. 'But they're so scared they won't follow me. They don't like my voice or something. They take me for a wicked ogre,全部👮 and all that sort of rot.'
"'Parsnips!' he grunted,中雨🌲 as he filled in the hole. 'May they blossom acres wide!'
"Let yourself drift,中雨🍮 Doctor,全部〽" panted Jip. "Don't waste your strength fighting the current. Let yourself drift. Even if we're carried past the island out to sea we can land on the mainland further down the coast,潇潇🏊 where the current isn't so strong."
"Well,中雨😖 after you had set off in the canoe,中雨📝" said the Skimmer,中雨🔲 "I and the thrush stopped on our way back here at the tree where he had lost the package. It was too dark then to hunt for it,潇潇✖ so we roosted in the tree all night,全部🐬 intending to look in the morning. Just as dawn was breaking we saw this wretched squirrel here flirting about in the branches with an enormous pink pearl in his mouth. I at once pounced on him and held him down,中雨🎲 while the thrush took the pearl away from him. Then we made him tell us where he had hidden the other two. And after we had got all three of them we put the squirrel under arrest and brought him here."
