"Who might it be that I have the honor of addressing?" asked my mother staring at the gray parrot perched on the Doctor's shoulder. "Oh, I'm John Dolittle. I dare say your husband will remember me. He made me some very excellent boots about four years ago. They really are splendid," added the Doctor, gazing down at his feet with great satisfaction.
"Yes," said Doctor Dolittle. "That is my name." "Well," said the shark, "we know these pirates to be a bad lot especially Ben Ali. If they are annoying you, we will gladly eat them up for you and then you won't be troubled any more." "Thank you," said the Doctor. "This is really most attentive.

The departure of Jack and Graham was immediately put off till Ruth should be well enough to take part in the fun which was to serve as a climax to the visit. For the remainder of the day, Ruth found herself the centre of attraction in Dolittle Cottage.
