So, after we had eaten and drunken and taken a good snooze, we set off again towards the mountains, for we had a notion that we should find our way somehow or other into America. We expected to fall in with another village, but we were mistaken, and by dinner-time we began to feel very peckish.
"That's snow and pumice-stone, as fur as I ken see," put in Mr Lathrope; "and I guess I must be durned peckish fore I tackle those!" "You forget the seals and the penguins," said Mr Meldrum.

"Isn't that rather Peckish?" Lyra suggested. "I don't know. But it's true, Lyra. And I shouldn't be ashamed of getting it from Mr. Peck." "Oh, I didn't say you would be." "And I hope you won't be hurt with me. I know that it's a most unwarrantable thing to speak to you about such a matter; but you know why I do it."
"We shall be wiser if we continue our search for water, and look out for some food; for now thanks to the roots my thirst is quenched, and I am getting very peckish," he added. "So am I," said Percy; "but I am too anxious to get back to the waggon to think much about my hunger." "You'll not be so indifferent about food before long, let me tell you," observed Denis.
