fainty

So I thought, and so would anybody, as dry as I was, and that wanted something to wash down the fainty stuffs I had been layin in; but no! it was warm water!

I have been the recipient of so many kind and courteous favors from my senior colleagues, until it makes me feel fainty.

Hot boils the blood, thirst burns, and every breast Pants, every limb, with fainty weight oppress'd, Slow now obeys the will's stern ire, and slow From every sword descends the feeble blow: Till rage grew languid, and tir'd slaughter found No arm to combat, and no breast to wound.

Now, mind, the fight was still a-goin' on—and right at the hot of the fight, and the feller, all excited, you know, like he was, and the soldier that had his leg shot off gittin' kindo fainty like, and his head kindo' stuck back over the feller's shoulder that was carryin' him.

There, misty, fainty, small as the toy of a child, lay Gatun Dam, with the spillway in its center.
