A sentence in "Anne of Green Gables"
Hello,
While I was reading this book, I could not understand the meaning of a sentence clearly.
"I am dreadfully thin, ain't I? There isn't a pick on my bones...." (said Anne)
What does the meaning of the sentence starting with "There isn't~~"? I looked up the dictionary but there was only one expression regarding "pick"and "bone"--a bone to pick. Would you be so kind to let me know the meaning?
Thank you for your help in advance.
