"Is you there, Billy?"
"Aye, I'm here. You lie still, Teddy."
"What's the matter with the dogs, Billy?"
"They're jus' a bit restless. Never you mind about the dogs. I'll manage the dogs."
"You didn't fetch your axe, did you, Billy?"
"Well, no, Skipper Teddy—no; I didn't."

"Ah, now, Teddy, never you mind about the ice."
"Is she broke loose?"
"Ah, well—maybe she have broke loose."
