To Be Sick of Something or Someone

"Twice every year these annuities were to be paid; and then there was the trouble of getting it to them; and then one of them was said to have died, and afterwards it turned out to be no such thing. My mother was quite sick of it."
--Sense and Sensibility (Jane Austen, 1811), Vol. 1, Chapter 2
