Whenever you feel one of those bouts coming on, do what I do. Ask the butler to bring up a large port, have the footman turn away any visitors that might come calling, get one of the housemaids to run you a nice hot bath and another to build a fire in the reading room, have your valet set out some comfortable lounging wear, and curl up with a pleasant book. If that doesn't work, I've found that beating one of the page boys with a switch does wonders for relieving stress.
