"And so do I," I said; "but in this case I am quite at a loss what to do." "You want dinner, Sir? When I want dinner," replied the Russian, "I alway say, 'food, vitch is, 'föda, and put my finger down my mout; and if tey not know what I mean by 'föda, I say, 'kött, vitch is meat." "That's a capital plan; but, you see, I could not adopt it, for I never heard of 'Föda' and 'Kött' before." "Ha!
"Go and ask Sea Cow," said Sea Vitch. "If he is living still, he'll be able to tell you." "How shall I know Sea Cow when I meet him?" said Kotick, sheering off. "He's the only thing in the sea uglier than Sea Vitch," screamed a Burgomaster gull, wheeling under Sea Vitch's nose. "Uglier, and with worse manners! Stareek!" Kotick swam back to Novastoshnah, leaving the gulls to scream.
"Vy, vitch of you would look Tom Slack in the face?" piped the old fellow; "or Jack Broughton? him vot told the old Dook of Cumberland that all he vanted vas to fight the King o' Proosia's guard, day by day, year in, year out, until 'e 'ad worked out the whole regiment of 'em and the smallest of 'em six foot long.
But look here you seem to have a fondness for talking to your betters suppose you go to Walrus Islet and talk to Sea Vitch. He may know something. Don't flounce off like that. It's a six-mile swim, and if I were you I should haul out and take a nap first, little one."

As to the wictim of oppression in the suit o' brimstone, all I can say of him, is, that I hope he'll get jist as good a berth as he deserves; in vitch case it's wery little cold swarry as ever he'll be troubled with agin. Here Sam sat down with a pleasant smile, and his speech having been vociferously applauded, the company broke up.
May I be skinned!" said Sea Vitch, and they all looked at Kotick as you can fancy a club full of drowsy old gentlemen would look at a little boy. Kotick did not care to hear any more about skinning just then; he had seen enough of it. So he called out: "Isn't there any place for seals to go where men don't ever come?" "Go and find out," said Sea Vitch, shutting his eyes. "Run away.
The children were gamboling from room to room, testing the faucets, the dumb-waiter "Get avey from there!" Dora shouted. "You'll hurt yourself. Max, tell Lucy not to touch the dumb-vaiter, vill you?"
