"If I can find it out, I will. But I have never been ill myself, so I am not much up to invalids' fancies."
"Well! here is Fanny then, who is seldom without an ailment. She will be able to suggest something, perhaps--won't you, Fan?"

'I have not always an ailment,' said Fanny, pettishly; 'and I am not going with mamma. I have a headache today, and I shan't go out.'
