i am getting a little weary of her tantrums and there are plenty of other ladybirds available . 't is an old argument , my lady . in one corner of the room he noticed a pile of bones , which had been sucked clean . 'now there 's another one on my hair ' 'hold still , stupid female ! ' he lay on the hospital bed in the intensive care unit , eyes slightly open , still and calm . `` we wish we knew , '' grandma said . he is as well as can be expected .
