Murder crouched there, ready to spring, yet afraid; cowardly, but too thirsty alter blood to heed its own fears. Theft, low, pilfering, pettifogging, theft; avarice, lust, and impotent, scalding hatred.
Alas! he has gone! and left us in sorrow, his loss to bewail: Oh where is his spirit? His spirit went naked, and hungry it wanders, and thirsty and wounded it groans to return! Oh helpless and wretched, our brother has gone! No blanket nor food to nourish and warm him; nor candles to light him, nor weapons of war: Oh, none of those comforts had he! But well we remember his deeds!
He could not think straight; it was all he could do to will himself to hold on and ride. Drew was thirsty, so thirsty his tongue was a cottony mass in his mouth. The day was light and sunny now, and they were single-filing through a region of bright, colored rock wind-worn into pinnacles, spires, and mesas.
Had it been merely theft or any ordinary crime, he would have talked freely enough, and sympathized with the prisoner. As time went on, Felix grew thirsty, but his request for water was disregarded, and there he remained till four in the afternoon. They then marched him out; he begged to be allowed to speak, but the soldiery did not reply, simply hurrying him forward.

Lewis, I'll give your aunt five minutes, and then I shall go down and drink that pool dry." Lewis sat up and watched the narrow ribbon of road which coiled up the glen to the pool's edge.
As the sun declined, we got into open forest ground; and travelled forwards in momentary expectation, from appearances, of coming in sight of water; but we were obliged to pull up at sunset on the outskirts of a larger plain without having our expectation realized. The day had been extremely warm, and our animals were as thirsty as ourselves.
The four men had already made fast her painter to a ring in the wharf wall, and were now lolling over the gunwale, staring down into the deep, clear water at the fish playing about beneath them, and chatting disjointedly as they sucked at their pipes. "It is thirsty work sitting there and grilling in the sun, is it not, lads?" said I in French.
Being thirsty, he went to the boat for water, where he found the woman and child, who came down the river with them on the previous night, waiting to go further. "Are you hungry?" he said to the little one, who looked wistfully at the bread. "We are both very hungry," replied the mother quickly for herself and child.
They had been well grazed after counting, and as they came up to the bed ground there was not a hungry or thirsty animal in the lot. All seemed anxious to lie down, and by circling around slowly, while gradually closing in, in the course of half an hour all were bedded nicely on possibly five or six acres.
