Hi.
Could you please explain what "interesting" means in the following passage?
"She ain't a-sayin' nothin', lovey," answered the old woman, going to the bedside of her son, who even when made more interesting than usual by illness, did not seem a very fit subject for this tender appellation. (Lady Audley's Secret by M.E. Braddon)
Does it mean "sympathized"? I mean the son was more sympathized than usual by illness? I checked several dictionaries, but could not find appropriate meaning. I appreciate any comments. Thank you.
