I see there is occasionally どうしたものかしら as well - 1 of the 3 Tanaka sentences uses that
I'll change the sequence number to disconnect the sound clip.

All the examples I looked at (including the Tanaka sentences) appear to be the same sense. 
I think we should include the か, as in GG5 and nikk.

Despite what Nikkoku says, I'm not sure it's two senses? Any other views? I'd need to fiddle with the sentences.
