The afternoon was well advanced, and Rosetta Muriel rose to make her farewells, expressing an enjoyment which was perhaps a concession to her sense of propriety, rather than a perfectly spontaneous expression of feeling. Rosetta Muriel found the girls of Dolittle Cottage strangely puzzling.
So I thanked the mussel-man, took up my squirrel again and started oft towards the Oxenthorpe Road. The first thing I heard as I came into the marketplace was some one calling "Meat! "There's Matthew Mugg," I said to myself. "He'll know where this Doctor lives. Matthew knows everyone." So I hurried across the market-place and caught him up. "Matthew," I said, "do you know Doctor Dolittle?"
"There are many important questions I want to ask this snail And besides, I would like to do my best to cure his tail for him. It's the least I can do. After all, it was my fault, indirectly, that he got hurt." "Well, if you wait here," said the porpoises, "we'll see what can be done." SO Doctor Dolittle with a crown on his head sat down upon the shore like King Knut, and waited.
Give the silly people up if they haven't brains enough to see you're the best doctor in the world. Take care of animals instead THEY'll soon find it out. Be an animal-doctor." "Oh, there are plenty of animal-doctors," said John Dolittle, putting the flower-pots outside on the window-sill to get the rain. "Yes, there ARE plenty," said Polynesia. "But none of them are any good at all.
When we set out from the harbor to walk to the bull-ring, crowds of small boys ran after us making fun of the Doctor's fatness, calling out, "Juan Hagapoco, el grueso matador!" which is the Spanish for, "John Dolittle, the fat bullfighter."
Because although the monkeys had no history-books of their own before Doctor Dolittle came to write them for them, they remember everything that happens by telling stories to their children.
"No, indeed. That's the best thing about Aunt Abigail. She likes people and she's always happy in a crowd, but she's never lonely when she's by herself. If there's something around to read she wouldn't mind if she didn't have anybody to speak to for a week." Dolittle Cottage was in sight by now. The girls' eyes scanned the porch for a lounging figure absorbed in a book or magazine.
Don't let any of them reach the shore until I tell you just keep them swimming about, will you? And please make Ben Ali swim over here that I may talk to him." So the shark went off and chased Ben Ali over to the Doctor. "Listen, Ben Ali," said John Dolittle, leaning over the side. "You have been a very bad man; and I understand that you have killed many people.
When they reached the shore they saw the pirate-ship, with the three red sails, standing in the water; and just as the swallows had said there was nobody on it; all the pirates were downstairs in the Doctor's ship, looking for things to steal. So John Dolittle told his animals to walk very softly and they all crept on to the pirate-ship.
So John Dolittle and his animals had to stay at their house a whole Saturday and Sunday and half of Monday. And all the little boys of the fishing-village went down to the beach and pointed at the great ship anchored there, and said to one another in whispers, "Look! That was a pirate-ship Ben Ali's the most terrible pirate that ever sailed the Seven Seas!
