"Could you ask your friend to do his excercises somewhere else. I shall be having
lunch directly, and don't want it bounced on just before I begin. A trifling matter, and
fussy of me, but we all have our little ways."

"Bother!"

"If Eeyore stood at the bottom of the tree, and if Pooh stood
on Eeyore's back, and if I stood on Pooh's shoulders -- "
"And if Eeyore's back snapped suddenly, then we could all
laugh. Ha ha! Amusing in a quiet way," said Eeyore, "but
not really helpful."
-- The House At Pooh Corner
Pooh said, "Let's go and see Kanga and Roo and Tigger,"
and Piglet said, "Y-yes. L-let's" -- because he was
still a little anxious about Tigger, who was a Very Bouncy Animal,
with a way of saying How-do-you-do, which always left your ears
full of sand.

"Pooh," said Rabbit kindly, "you haven't any brain."
"I know," said Pooh humbly.
-- Winnie-the-Pooh
"Bon-hommy," went on Eeyore gloomily. "French word
meaning bonhommy," he explained. "I'm not complaining,
but There It Is."
-- Winnie-the-Pooh
Rabbit came up importantly, nodded to Piglet, and said, "Ah,
Eeyore," in the voice of one who would be saying "Good-bye"
in about two more minutes.

"If anybody wants to clap," said Eeyore when he had
read this, "now is the time to do it."
They all clapped.
"Thank you," said Eeyore. "Unexpected and gratifying,
if a little lacking in Smack."

"I don't hold with all this washing," grumbled Eeyore.
"This modern Behind-the-ears nonsense."
-- Winnie-the-Pooh
"I'm not asking anybody," said Eeyore. "I'm just
telling everybody. We can look for the North Pole, or we can play
'Here we go gathering Nuts and May' with the end part of an ant's
nest. It's all the same to me."
-- Winnie-the-Pooh
"Thank you, Piglet," said Pooh. "What you have
just said will be a Great Help to us, and because of it I could
call this place Poohanpiglet Corner if Pooh Corner didn't sound
better, which it does, being smaller and more like a corner. Come
along."
-- The House At Pooh Corner
"What?" said Piglet, with a jump. And then, to show
that he hadn't been frightened, he jumped up and down once or
twice in an exercising sort of way.
-- Winnie-the-Pooh
"And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore shook his head from side to side.
"Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to have
felt at all how for a long time."
-- Winnie-the-Pooh
"Piglet," said Rabbit, taking a pencil, and licking
the end of it, "you haven't any pluck."
