They could not speak coherent sentences for a while just over and over again they told each other that they loved. It seemed as if he could not hear her sweet confession often enough or quench the thirst of his parched soul upon her lips. Then the masterfulness in him which Zara now adored asserted itself. He must play with her hair!
The sun shines on and through them, and the atmosphere becomes murky and sultry to unpleasantness. Then, suddenly, there is a change in the temperature of the upper air, the moisture is condensed, and refreshing rain falls to cool and cheer the earth that before was parched and thirsty. A Battle Royal. One morning I watched a battle of the clouds over the Canyon.
Like two automatons, they started off across the parched grass, the heat waves rising and falling as they stumbled forward.
Once more her parched lips were covered with blood. She moved her eyes, looking about her. "So that's how you live, Sonia! Never once have I been in your room." She looked at her with a face of suffering. "We have been your ruin, Sonia. Polenka, Lida, Kolya, come here! Well, here they are, Sonia, take them all! I hand them over to you, I've had enough! The ball is over."
I thought that some of the earlier flights in April might be caused by the vegetation of the Pacific side of the continent being still parched up, whilst on the Atlantic slope the forests were green and moist.

As she put the question to me I saw that her lips were parched and burning, her white fingers so tightly clenched that they left great red marks.

I told her none.
The week of Jessica's ordeal was now at hand. She had had another fainting-fit; her sleep was broken every night with hideous dreams; she ate scarce enough to keep herself alive; a perpetual fever parched her throat and burned at her temples.
Dick, however, once more comforted him, ceasing to dwell on his own pangs of thirst; although the lad's tongue had swollen to such a size that it seemed too big for his mouth, and his lips were all parched and cracked.
Then from the kamarband, or broad cloth encircling his waist like a sash, he produced two bottles of soda-water which he opened and gave to them. The liquid was warm, but nevertheless was acceptable to their parched throats. They followed their guide at a gallop and soon were being welcomed by the rest of the party in a small village of low mud huts.
And the glory of the dwellers there was equal, and with one voice they sang praises alternately to the Lord God, rejoicing in that place. The Lord said to us, This is the place of your brethren the righteous. And over against that place I saw another, exceedingly parched, and it was the place of punishment.
