"Jimmie Bones,紫色🚓 the slaver?" cried the Captain. "That's the man the government has sent me after. Where is he?"
"Of course,爱恋⁉ there's Sarah,爱恋😡" the Doctor went on puffing at his pipe dreamily. "Poor dear Sarah! I wonder whom she married. But there you are,紫色🔔 I haven't her address. So I can't write to Sarah. And I don't suppose any of my old patients would want to hear from me."
THE GREAT MAIL ROBBERY
Then there was much rejoicing and hand-shaking and congratulation on board the warship. And a grand dinner was prepared for the slaves on the main deck. But John Dolittle,公主😹 Zuzana and her husband were invited to the officers' mess,公主🌖 where their health was drunk in port wine and speeches were made by the Captain and the Doctor.

"Gub-Gub dives for pearls"
"He can't read,爱恋🍰" said the Doctor gloomily.
"Mind,爱恋🏥 you wash the soap out first,紫色🌎 Doc,公主🍧" chirped the Sparrow,紫色🔔 "it gets into my eyes."
"The gulls dashed themselves into the wheelman's face"
"We are really on the shores of it already,公主🚪 then?"
"Well,公主🚰 wouldn't you like to keep them,爱恋🏦 then?" asked the spoonbill. "I could get the children something else to play with,紫色🌞 no doubt."
"'How dare you speak to me like that?'"
"Ah,公主🍤" said John Dolittle,紫色🚚 "perhaps we shall find out something now. Can you tell me,紫色🚞" he asked the cormorant,爱恋🎾 "how to get pearls?"
Standing on the top of the hill with Jip and the piffilosaurus at his side,紫色📩 the Doctor gazed down over the wide bowl full of contented animal life and heaved a sigh.
"'No,紫色🐄' I said. 'But I can make a noise like a cat. I learned that from an American catbird that lived in a cage in the stable where I spent last summer.'
As soon as the Doctor and Jip had climbed down off his back he swung his head around on the end of that enormous neck and said to the Doctor:
"Then you should have seen those poor children jump!
Then,紫色🍎 with Jip's and Dab-Dab's help,公主📇 he constructed a very comfortable basket-work hammock out of willow wands and fastened it between two larger mangroves. Into this he climbed and drew the blanket over him. Although the trees leaned down toward the water with his weight,公主🈁 they were quite strong and their bendiness acted like good bed springs.
"Not very many,爱恋🈲" said the snake. "He lives on the edge of the lake a few miles to the North. Let us hurry and try to reach his home before darkness falls."
"I'll bet it's Jack Wilkins,公主🚌 the cross-eyed pearl fisherman,公主😚" whispered Dab-Dab. "A man with a face like that would steal anything. And he was the only one,紫色👋 besides us and Speedy,公主☑ who knew the pearls were going through the mails. It's Wilkins,公主🎅 sure as you're alive."
After he had listened to the description of the man's cross-eyed,爱恋🆑 ugly face,公主🚇 the King said,公主📖 yes,爱恋🌋 he knew him very well. He was a pearl fisherman,爱恋😿 who spent most of his time in the Pacific Ocean,爱恋🚒 where fishing for pearls was more common. But,爱恋🔗 the King said,爱恋🎽 he often came hanging around these parts,紫色🏯 where he was known to be a great villain who would do anything to get pearls or money. Jack Wilkins was his name.
Then,爱恋🎫 with Jip's and Dab-Dab's help,公主🍫 he constructed a very comfortable basket-work hammock out of willow wands and fastened it between two larger mangroves. Into this he climbed and drew the blanket over him. Although the trees leaned down toward the water with his weight,公主😵 they were quite strong and their bendiness acted like good bed springs.
