From the crown of his wide black hat to the tall heels of his dainty boots he was such a dandy as demanded more than a casual glance. "Amigos," he cried, the door closed now, his back to it, his wide hat describing a slow, graceful arc as he raised it gallantly from his black hair, "I have the thirst of a lost soul. Who will drink with me?"
A poor, dirty little thing she was, who seemed as if she had not seen a home for days. Her tongue lolled out, she panted piteously, and had no collar.

Two biscuits, and a handful of cheese-crumbs, were all that remained.

Strange to say that while suffering from thirst, I had not thought of dying by hunger. It would be more exact to say I had scarce thought of it.
The prospect of a quick run to Jamaica was over. Our provisions were running short our water was almost expended. Hunger and thirst began to stare us in the face things apt not only to stare people out of countenance, but out of their good looks. We at once went on short allowance, which grew shorter and shorter.
Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well and himself drank from it, together with his children and his cattle?" Jesus answered her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give shall never thirst. The water that I give him will become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life."
