And now how many does that make?" "Oh dear!" said the Mother Bear, "Don't ask me. My head's all of a whirl already." "Then you'd better go to sleep, my dear," said her husband. "The next thing you know you'll be having a headache to-morrow. You think too much." "Yes," said the Mother Bear, sighing, "That's so; I suppose I do think too much, but then I can't help it.
"It's no ilka day we hae the honour o' yer lordship's company." "Or I of yours," returned the marquis with hearty courtesy. "I will do it with pleasure or at least a glass: my head's not so well seasoned as some of yours."

Natasha left the room with her father and, as if finding it difficult to reach some decision, first followed him and then ran downstairs.
"Only this morning I was as happy as I could be, and now my head's all of a buzz with worry. Wish I'd gone and found Bunny Wrigg and told him all; he'd have helped me and enjoyed the job.
