I have been making acquaintance with all sorts of horrors since I came to London face-ache and rheumatism and colds! I scarcely knew there were such things in the world. And I never knew what it was to be tired before. Sometimes I can hardly drag through my work. I hate it so: it makes me cross like a naughty child!"
Assuredly, this stall of Silas Wegg's was the hardest little stall of all the sterile little stalls in London. It gave you the face-ache to look at his apples, the stomach-ache to look at his oranges, the tooth-ache to look at his nuts.
Quarles has, in her peculiar fashion, undressed herself: that is to say, she has taken off her outer gown, her cap and wig and then has added to the volume of her under garments, divers night habiliments, flannelled and frilled: while wrappers, manifold as a turbaned Turk's, protect ear-ache, tooth-ache, head-ache, and face-ache, from the elves of the night.

The housemaid came down tall and slim, with the state of the spring temperature written redly on her nose. The lady's-maid followed young, smart, plump, and sleepy. The kitchen-maid came next afflicted with the face-ache, and making no secret of her sufferings.
'Not that my life has been lonely, for I could have sometimes wished it lonelier, instead of having Ma going on like the Tragic Muse with a face-ache in majestic corners, and Lavvy being spiteful though of course I am very fond of them both. I wish you could make a friend of me, Lizzie. Do you think you could?
I am going to the medicine-chest next, to physic the kitchen-maid an unwholesome girl, whose face-ache is all stomach. In the meantime, Norah, my dear, you will find your work and your books, as usual, in the library. Magdalen, suppose you leave off tying your handkerchief into knots and use your fingers on the keys of the piano instead? We'll lunch at one, and take the dogs out afterward.
