I was ready to perish for thirst; but so weak, I had not strength to stand up, or to get myself any water to drink. Prayed to God again, but was light-headed: and when I was not, I was so ignorant that I knew not what to say; only lay and cried, "Lord, look upon me! Lord, pity me! Lord, have mercy upon me!"
The tenderfoot rose from the ledge upon which he had been lying and stretched himself stiffly. The chill of the long night had set him shivering. His bones ached from the pressure of his body upon the rock where he had slept and waked and dozed again with troubled dreams. The sharpness of his hunger made him light-headed. Thirst tortured him.
The inconsistent and profoundly unreasonable way in which she instantly went on, nevertheless, to interweave their long-abandoned boy and girl relations with their present interview, made Clennam feel as if he were light-headed.
So the landlord brought dice and dice boxes, and Phaon who had come to the conclusion that he had to deal with a light-headed bumpkin, who represented merely so much fair plunder began to play with a careless heart. The landlord brought more and more flagons of wine, wine that was mixed with little water and was consequently very heady.
I know nothing more depressing than to listen to a man who is in earnest." "You are getting positively light-headed," Sybil laughed. "I can see no pleasure in life save that which comes from an earnest pursuit of things, good or evil." "My dear child," Lord Arranmore answered, "when you are a little older you will know that to take life seriously is a sheer impossibility.

This act he regretted very much. He was sorry he had put them to so much trouble. He would undo what he could by sending the money back the major portion of it.
Rouletta waited for a long while, and steadily her condition grew worse. She became light-headed, and frequently lost herself in a sort of painful doze. She did not really sleep, however, for her eyes were open and staring; her wits wandered away on nightmare journeys, returning only when the pains became keener.
The Emperor passed a very bad night, and could not sleep. He grew light-headed and talked incoherently; still the fever had abated in its violence. Towards morning the hiccough began to torment him, the fever increased, and he became quite delirious. Then all at once fancying O'Meara present, he imagined a dialogue between them, throwing a weight of odium on the English policy.
The mother, with little wit and knowledge of the Court, full of apparent confidence and sham cunning, received all advice ill. The brothers were imbecile, the son was a child and a simpleton, the two other daughters too light-headed. I had often warned Madame de Dreux of the enmity of the Duchesse de Bourgogne; and she had spoken to her on the subject.
Jacques was as gay, and light-headed, and full of fun as myself, so we said: 'We love each other very much, and, as long as this money lasts, we will keep up the racket; when we have no more, one of two things will happen either we shall be tired of one another, and so part or else we shall love each other still, and then, to remain together, we shall try and get work again; and, if we cannot do so, and yet will not part a bushel of charcoal will do our business!"
