None of us had much appetite for food that night when we got back to the ship; and when we turned out next morning we were even less desirous of food than we had been on the previous evening. We were all suffering from violent headaches, accompanied by great nausea, and were fain to confess that we had had quite enough of the oyster-bed for the present.
But they were getting too tired to enjoy anything, and were both indeed not far from asleep on the backs of their humble beasts, when a sudden, more determined yet more cheerful assault of their guide upon his donkeys, roused both them and their riders; and looking sleepily up, with his loud heeoop ringing in their ears, and a sense of the insidious approach of two headaches, they saw before them the little town, its houses gathered close for protection, like a brood of chickens, and the white steeple of the church rising above them, like the neck of the love-valiant hen.
I had suffered the most acute indigestion; for years I have not known what it is. Headaches were a daily dread; for over six years I have not had a single pain in the head. My home seems different to me, and I feel a thousand times more interest in its work. My husband is a changed man.
He had taken the oars before he noticed that his wife, whom he was not yet ready to forgive, was being hurried off by his cousin. "Mrs. Emory is very tired and her head aches," said Senator North.

The answer with slight variations was Mr. A's neat little apology, repeated by Mr. "I am very sorry. Mrs. B has got a bad headache. She is subject to bad headaches.
The mother died when the patient was eleven years old; she is said to have been normal. The father was living. P. H. The patient was always a nervous child, had very bad dreams, but she was smart at school up to ten or eleven, and played with other girls. Then she began to work less well, got thin, more nervous, complained of headaches. It was about that time that her mother died.
Slang expressions will not fail her, and in France we are so quickly vanquished by the ironical smile of another! At other times headaches and nervous attacks make their appearance; but these symptoms furnish matter for a whole future Meditation. In the world she will speak of you without blushing, and will gaze at you with assurance.
She began to wipe a plaintive eye on her small handkerchief. "The day I married my dear George the father of my darlings we had champagne. It always brings it all back to me." "But tea makes headaches better." "Not mine." Mrs. Hetherington knitted her white brows and looked immensely interested.
