The Doctor went to the rail, where, resting his arms on the solid teak, he leant, gazing thoughtfully out over the sea, which was part of his life.
So one rainy season he planted with great care a number of teak seedlings round about, and he watered them and cared for them.
"I've got nothing to go in." "Rubbish!" said her husband, starting uneasily. "It's a fact," said Mrs. Teak. "I should like to go, too it's years since I was at the Zoo. I might make my jacket do; it's my hat I'm thinking about." Mr. Chase, meeting Mr. Teak's eye, winked an obvious suggestion.
