Mr. Fairlie is too great an invalid to be a compaion for anybody. I don't know what is the matter with him, and the doctors don't know what is the matter with him, and he doesn't know himself what is the matter with him. We all say it's on the nerves, and we none of us know what we mean when we say it.
(from The Woman in White, by William Wilkie Collins)
