We all voted that it could not possibly give us the stomach-ache. And it didn't. Then we drew lots to see who would have the unpleasant job of washing the dishes.

I might have maintained a mysterious and Byronic gloom; this would have been sheer bad manners. I might have attributed my lack of spontaneous gaiety to toothache or stomach-ache; this would have aroused sisterly and matronly sympathies, and I should have had the devil's own job to escape from the house unpoisoned by the nostrums that lurk in the medicine chest of every well-conducted family.
Macann was actually fumbling with the button of the door. Quick as thought then she seized a hassock, sprang on it, and, reaching over the partition, pressed a hand down on his chestnut wig. "Sit still sit still, man!" she commanded. "Thee'rt throwing helve after hatchet, I tell 'ee. What's a stomach-ache, after all?" "I don't follow you, Mrs. Lebow," said the Doctor: and small blame to him.
A. Kentucky. Q. What illness have you had? A. As a child, consumption, leprosy, and water on the knee. As a man, whooping-cough, stomach-ache, and water on the brain. Q. Have you any brothers? A.

'The Gars' is the name he goes by. All those beasts," he added, pointing to Marche-a-Terre, "stick on names which would give a stomach-ache to honest patriots if they bore them.

Then he said, 'Now, Denny, don't be a young ass. What is it? Is it stomach-ache? And Denny stopped crying to say 'No! as loud as he could. 'Well, then, Oswald said, 'look here, you're spoiling the whole thing. Don't be a jackape, Denny. What is it? 'You won't tell the others if I tell you? 'Not if you say not, Oswald answered in kindly tones. 'Well, it's my shoes. 'Take them off, man.
Shortly after, however, being afflicted by a stomach-ache, remorse came upon him and he rushed to his father, exclaiming: "Oh! papa, papa, I have eaten of flesh offered to idols!" When the father learned what had happened, he sternly said, "Where is the accursed thing?"
And the most indigestible food, such as apples in sour cider, and bacon, are what cure me of the stomach-ache. And so on. A man who has no common sense ought not to try to live according to common-sense rules. As for my frenzy for work, I will compare it to an attack of herpes. I scratch myself while I cry. It is both a pleasure and a torture at the same time.
He launched out into invective beyond measure; till on the spot, in presence of the said father, he was seized with such a stomach-ache, that he went home to St. Alban's, and died in a few days; after which all went well with Crowland, and the Norman monks who worked the English martyr to get money out of the English whom they had enslaved.
