'Had not a very intellectual or spiritual day after all. Went in the afternoon away to the east. Had a good view and a time of devotion at a cairn from which an eagle rose as I approached.

So the little old Woman opened the door, and went in; and well pleased she was when she saw the porridge on the table. If she had been a good little old Woman, she would have waited till the Bears came home, and then, perhaps, they would have asked her to breakfast; for they were good Bears a little rough or so, as the manner of Bears is, but for all that very good-natured and hospitable.

They are all dwarfs and one peasant woman will toss three of them with a hayfork."
