"But we can promenade too." I then pointed to Wade and _Ikewna_, and then to _We-we_ and myself, offering my arm.
"_Abb_," she said; and we started off.
Kit and _Caubvick_ followed.

After all, walking with an Esquimau belle is not so very different from walking with a Yankee girl: only I fancy it must have looked a little odd; for, as I have already stated, they wore long-legged boots with very broad tops coming above the knee, silver-furred seal-skin breeches, and a jacket of white hare-skin (the polar hare) edged with the down of the eider-duck.

These jackets had at least one very peculiar feature: that was nothing less than a tail about four inches broad, and reaching within a foot of the ground.

I have no doubt they were in _style_: still they did look a little singular, to say the least.
Meanwhile the others were not idle spectators, judging from the loud talking, _yeh-yeh-ing_, and unintelligible lingo, that resounded all about.

We saw Raed paying the most polite attentions to a very chubby, fat girl with a black fur jacket and yellow gloves.
"What name ?" demanded Kit as we promenaded past.
"_Pussay_," replied Raed, trying to look very sober.
The word _pussay_ means a seal; and in this case the name was not much misplaced.
