It's killing me!

     "It woke me up," said Mr. Bennett complaingly. "And I had had great difficulty in dropping off to sleep. I was in considerable pain. I believe I've caught the mumps from young Hignett."
     "Nonsense! You're always imagining yourself ill," snapped Mr. Mortimer.
     "My face hurts," persisted Mr. Bennett.
     "You can't expect a face like that not to hurt," said Mr. Mortimer.
