Rosemary, growing momentarily thirstier herself as she thought of the probable torture of the prisoner, walked down to the spring and filled a dipper, as she had done half a dozen times a day since she first arrived.

The sight of the fruit within his reach made the prince hungrier and thirstier than he was before, and forgetting his promise to the little cat not to eat anything until he entered the palace in the unknown seas he caught one of the branches, and, in a moment, was in the tree eating the delicious fruit.
