"All right," said the Doctor; and he sent Dab-Dab to ask the swallows to pull the ship, the same as they had done when the pirates were chasing them. So the stout little birds came down and once more harnessed themselves to the ship. And now the boat went bounding through the waves at a terrible speed.
"Yes," said the pushmi-pullyu "to the Abyssinian Gazelles and the Asiatic Chamois on my mother's side. My father's great-grandfather was the last of the Unicorns." "Most interesting!" murmured the Doctor; and he took a book out of the trunk which Dab-Dab was packing and began turning the pages. "Let us see if Buffon says anything "
"I'm sick of these beastly tropics they make you feel so lazy and good-for-nothing. And there are no rats or anything here not that a fellow would have the energy to chase 'em even if there were. My, wouldn't I be glad to see old Puddleby and the garden again! And won't Dab-Dab be glad to have us back!"
Even when the Doctor had filled the old money-box on the dresser-shelf, he still had a lot of money left; and he had to get three more money-boxes, just as big, to put the rest in. "Money," he said, "is a terrible nuisance. But it's nice not to have to worry." "Yes," said Dab-Dab, who was toasting muffins for his tea, "it is indeed!"
Then the crocodile and the monkey and the parrot were very glad and began to sing, because they were going back to Africa, their real home. And the Doctor said, "I shall only be able to take you three with Jip the dog, Dab-Dab the duck, Gub-Gub the pig and the owl, Too-Too.
Is he SMELLING in his sleep as well as talking?" "I suppose he is," said Dab-Dab. "All dogs can smell in their sleep." "But what is he smelling?" asked the Doctor. "There is no roast beef cooking on our ship." "No," said Dab-Dab. "The roast beef must be on that other ship over there." "But that's ten miles away," said the Doctor. "He couldn't smell that far surely!"
You can see the mustaches on the faces of the men six of them. What are we going to do?" Then the Doctor asked Dab-Dab to fly up and tell the swallows that pirates were coming after them in a swift ship, and what should he do about it.
Can't blame her for getting scared! I wonder who he'll go and kiss this time. Silly business!" Then the pushmi-pullyu, the white mouse, Gub-Gub, Dab-Dab, Jip and the owl, Too-Too, went on to the ship with the Doctor. But Chee-Chee, Polynesia and the crocodile stayed behind, because Africa was their proper home, the land where they were born.
"I don't like the look of that sail," said Dab-Dab. "I have a feeling it isn't a friendly ship. I am afraid there is more trouble coming to us." Jip, who was lying near taking a nap in the sun, began to growl and talk in his sleep. "I smell roast beef cooking," he mumbled "underdone roast beef with brown gravy over it." "Good gracious!" cried the Doctor. "What's the matter with the dog?
While he was standing there, wondering how the monkeys were getting on and what his garden would look like when he got back to Puddleby, Dab-Dab came tumbling up the stairs, all smiles and full of news. "Doctor!" she cried. "This ship of the pirates is simply beautiful absolutely.
