Because presently, shaking their spears threateningly at us, they went off with the newcomer. "What discourteous pagans!" said Bumpo. "Did you ever see such inhospitability? Never even asked us if we'd had breakfast, the benighted bounders!" "Sh! They're going off to their village," said Polynesia. "I'll bet there's a village on the other side of those mountains.
You see, these Indians were ignorant of many of the things that quite small white children know though it is also true that they knew a lot that white grown-ups never dreamed of. Bumpo and I helped with the teaching as far as we could simple arithmetic, and easy things like that.
This was where the King lived with his Queen, Ermintrude, and their son, Prince Bumpo. The Prince was away fishing for salmon in the river. But the King and Queen were sitting under an umbrella before the palace door. And Queen Ermintrude was asleep. When the Doctor had come up to the palace the King asked him his business; and the Doctor told him why he had come to Africa.
At last we heard some one trundling on the stairs again and the Doctor said, "Ah, here's Bumpo with the maps at last!" But to our great astonishment it was not Bumpo alone that appeared but THREE people. "Good Lord deliver us! Who are these?" cried John Dolittle. "Two more stowaways, Sir," said Bumpo stepping forward briskly. "I found them in your cabin hiding under the bunk.
After supper he disappeared from the palace without saying where he was going a thing he had never done before. Of course we all knew where he had gone: back to the beach to sit up with the snail. We were sure of it because he had said nothing to Bumpo about attending to the matter.
And that's what keeps it floating." "What a pecurious phenometer!" said Bumpo. "It is indeed," said the Doctor. "I must make a note of that." And out came the everlasting note-book. The porpoises went bounding off towards the icebergs. And not long after, we saw the sea heaving and frothing as a big herd of whales came towards us at full speed.
"Oh no, not necessarily. That would depend on the depth of the sea where the sinking took place. The island might touch bottom when it had only gone down, say, a hundred feet. But there would be lots of it still sticking up above the water then, wouldn't there?" "Yes," said Bumpo, "I suppose there would.
All of these Indians are of the great Algonquin family, and are much like those that Natty Bumpo chummed with or fought against, and those who lived in New York and New England when the settlers first came to what are now our eastern states.
But Bumpo was no end pleased with her and finally married her amid great rejoicings. The feastings lasted seven days. She became his chief wife and is now known out there as the Crown-Princess BumPAH you accent the last syllable." "And tell me, did he remain white?" "Only for about three months," said the parrot. "After that his face slowly returned to its natural color. It was just as well.
You must stay up in the tree!" chattered Mrs. Monkey, as she jumped out of the house. She had been inside shaking up the piles of leaves that were the beds for her family. "We we thought the tiger was gone," said Mappo, who was trembling because he was so frightened. "But he wasn't," said Bumpo, shivering. "No, he was right there," added Jacko, looking around.
