By Solon, and by Draco, if you please, Whose Cyrbes make the fires that parch our peas. But some say those are properly cyrbes, which contain laws concerning sacrifices and the rites of religion, and all the other axones.
Roast to a deep brown as you would coffee, and then cook as in rule for boiled rice, p. 199, and eat with cream and sugar. Parch as above, and grind. Allow half a cup to a quart of boiling water, and let it steep fifteen minutes. Strain, and drink plain, or with milk and sugar. For the dried herbs allow one teaspoonful to a cup of boiling water.
His voice betrayed interest at last; it suggested future possibilities instead of a grim present. "That he will do what is required of him!" "Is that the price of a drink for Jagut Singh?" "Aye! Will the sahib pay, or will he let the trooper parch?" "Ask Jagut Singh! Go, ask him! Let it be as he answers!" He could hear her hurry away, although she slammed the trap-door shut.
At dinner, with Marylyn sitting across from her, she began to see more clearly. She realised she had been dreaming; that for her there was only self-denial. She ate nothing, but drank her dipper thirstily, as if to wash away a parch in her throat. Back in the swale again, the scythe was swung less steadily, but with more strength, so that its sharp tip often hacked up the ground.

The heat, however, had lost none of its intensity, and every breath which we drew appeared to parch our lungs and consume us internally. "Have you decided what to do with the wounded men?" I asked, as I joined my friends. "Our first decision still holds good," replied Murden. "We cannot save them and save ourselves." "Hark! Do you hear that shout?" Fred said.
Party the spirit of party may do much, but it cannot operate so far as to make us forget those services; it cannot so far bewilder the memory, and pervert the judgment, and eradicate from our bosoms those feelings which do us the most honour, and are the most unavoidable, and, as it were, dry up the kindly juices of the heart; and, notwithstanding all its vile and malignant influence on other occasions, it cannot dry up those juices of the heart so as to parch it like very charcoal, and make it almost as black.
"Well, I'm partial to possum," remarked old Adam. "When all's said, thar ain't a better meat to the taste as long as it's plump an' juicy. Will you hand on that jug of cider, Tim? It's wonderful the way corn shuckin' manages to parch the throat an' whet the appetite."
