Wishing that your head may be crowned with laurels to-night, and free from aches to-morrow, I have the honour to be, Sir, your deeply indebted humble Servant, See the Poem. CXXXVIII To MR. ROBERT AINSLIE, W.S. ELLISLAND, 1st Nov. 1789.
The voyage had been a tedious one. Short of food, storm-tossed and full of aches and pains the starving company "crawled ashore," glad to be in their home land once more, and most of them full of complaints and grumblings at their commander, the Admiral. And Columbus felt as downcast as any.
She asked after the aches and pains of all the old people, and delicately inquired after the babies, past and future; the children hung on to her skirts and asked her to play with them, and she would hold one end of the rope while tiny little ragged girls skipped, invariably entangling themselves after two jumps. She had nearly reached home, when she heard a voice cry: 'Mornin'!
At first the tendency is to take the various little luxuries that are so necessary at home, but after they have been pulling at the shoulders all day long and the unaccustomed strain has developed possibilities in the way of aches undreamed of before, the conviction is gradually forced on the wayfarer that every ounce counts, and next time many of the "necessities" are left behind.
We went in and spent an hour there, wandering all round the nave and aisles, admiring the grand old edifice itself, but finding more to smile at than to admire in the monuments. . . . . The interior view of the Abbey is better than can be described; the heart aches, as one gazes at it, for lack of power and breadth enough to take its beauty and grandeur in.

The consciousness of redemption is the one master touch that evokes the gratitude which aches to breathe itself in service. There is no service except it be the expression of love.
She took the girl's hand kindly and kissed her cheek. "We will have such a talk presently you and I; but just now you are worn out, and must lie down. Your head aches, does it not?" Then Leah owned that she was right. "Alick is about the grounds somewhere," Mrs. Godfrey continued; "when I have made Miss Jacobi comfortable I will join you both."
When I see him I could sink into the ground. At the sight of his handwriting I grow cold from head to foot, I tremble, my heart aches so that it seems breaking in two. I long to be with him, yet when I am with him I have nothing to say. I have to escape and be miserable all alone. He is my thought all day: the last before I sleep, the first when I awake. I could cry and cry and cry.
Arthur, is there no loophole, not the faintest loophole for hope of his innocence?" "None that I see. No one whatever had access to the letter but Hamish and I. He must have yielded to the temptation in a moment of delirium, knowing the money would clear him from some of his pressing debts as it has done." "How could he brave the risk of detection?" "I don't know. My head aches, pondering over it.
"Oh, my, dey's mos' nigh well. Dey don' trouble me no mo'!" "Most nigh well, don't trouble you any more?" "Dat is none to speak of." "Why, Uncle Simon, who ever heard tell of a man being cured of his aches and pains at your age?" "I ain' so powahful ol', Mas', I ain' so powahful ol'." "You're not so powerful old! Why, Uncle Simon, what's taken hold of you? You're eighty if a day."
