Climbing among the ragged boulders which were strewn like fragments of fallen masonry at the foot of the cliff, I shortly came upon a thread of clear water, where I lay and slaked my thirst. After that came a renewed freshness and a sudden return of vigor.
He glanced up at the sun, which was edging behind a dark cloud, over the gap. "Is your raging thirst for personal information sufficiently slaked?" he asked. "We've still fifteen or twenty minutes left." "Is that all? And I haven't yet given you the message!" She drew it from the bag and handed it to him. "Sealed," he observed. The girl colored painfully.
They come to drink by night, and after having slaked their thirst in doing which they throw large quantities of water over themselves, and are heard, while enjoying the refreshment, screaming with delight they evince their horror of pitfalls by setting off in a straight line to the desert, and never diverge till they are eight or ten miles off.
Carson, when the cattle, their thirst slaked, were willing to be driven on. "I'll move all my stock to some place where Molick can't kill them off. Then I'll fight him to the last ditch!" "Hurrah!" cried Dave. "Hurrah for the round-up I" yelled the cowboys. It meant hard work, but it meant excitement, too, and that was a large part of their lives.
More than eighty of the inhabitants were slaughtered before his eyes. Sons were killed in the arms of their mothers, who vainly stretched those bloody arms to Heaven imploring vengeance. The successive pacifications of Brittany and Vendee have never slaked the thirst for murder which burns his entrails. He is the same in 1800 that he was in 1793.

He insisted on my treating them the old way." "Slaked lime? Or sulphur fumes?" she said quickly. "And you insisted on chloroform?" "You've hit it!" he exclaimed wonderingly. "How'd you know?" "I haven't been loafing on the job the last six months," she laughed. "I've been at the school at Davis and hobnobbing with some of the university men at Berkeley. They're doing some great work there.
There was no composition possible, he urged, with foes who were as false as they were sanguinary, and whose foul passions were stimulated, not slaked, by the horrors with which they had already feasted themselves. Ripperda addressed men who could sympathize with his bold and lofty sentiments.
Thy blood, their thirst would have slaked!" I lay fainting against the hard-throbbing heart of Samoa, while they showered their yells through the air. Once more, in my thoughts, the green corpse of the priest drifted by. Among the people of Mondoldo, a violent commotion now raged. They were amazed at Taji's recognition by the strangers, and at the deadly ferocity they betrayed.
I've no doubt he made himself entirely charming. His manners could be as beautiful as any of the Thesigers' when he chose, and they soothed her. I think she had ceased to feel them as a reproach to Jimmy. She had given up his manners, poor dear, long ago, as a bad job. It was as if she had slaked her thirst for the unusual.
Piang tied his feet together loosely with his head-cloth, and, using it as a brace, hopped up one of the trees as easily as a monkey. Sitting in the branches, he drained one cocoanut after another, and when his thirst was slaked, he amused himself by returning the bombardment. He was surrounded by monkey snipers and he laughingly rubbed his head where one of their shots had struck home.
