"Go on!" he said, nodding sardonic approval. "Provoke me to violence. Goad me in the direction of insanity." His caddie sniggered audibly. Berry turned to him. "That's right, my boy. Make the most of your time. For you I have already devised a lingering death." "Look here, old chap," said I, "there's some mistake. I said I'd give you a stroke a hole, not a divot a stroke." Jonah strolled up.
Again Herman Brudenell stamped impatiently, frowned, bit his lips, and said: "You shall not goad me to anger with the two-edged sword of your tongue, Hannah! You are unjust, because you are utterly mistaken in your premises! I did leave that check of which I speak!

He fastened the plow to the yoke. Then he took his shield and set it upon his back, and grasping the handles of the plow he started to make the furrow. With his long spear he drove the bulls before him as with a goad. Terribly they raged, furiously they breathed out fire. Beside Jason Theseus went holding the helmet that held the dragon's teeth.
