Upon being assured that all was well, he started after Blondey and soon brought him back to me; but while he was gone the imp and I had a mortal combat. I did up my hair, rearranged my habit, and, rejecting Nimrod's offer of his quieter horse, remounted Blondey.
That was why they had chosen to ride in Nimrod's brake because they wished to chum up with him as much as possible, in order to increase their chances of being kept on in preference to others who were not so respectable. Some of these poor creatures had very large heads, but a close examination would have shown that the size was due to the extraordinary thickness of the bones.
Then there was another paperhanger an unhappy wretch who was afflicted with religious mania; he had brought a lot of tracts with him which he had distributed to the other men, to the villagers of Tubberton and to anybody else who would take them. Most of the other men who rode in Nimrod's brake were of the 'religious' working man type.
But Abraham rejected the tempter with the words, "May the Eternal rebuke thee, thou vile, contemptible, accursed blasphemer!" and Satan departed from him. Then the mother of Abraham came to him and implored him to pay homage to Nimrod and escape the impending misfortune. But he said to her: "O mother, water can extinguish Nimrod's fire, but the fire of God will not die out for evermore.
Holding on to the latter, Clare turned to the bystanders. "You mustn't touch him," he said, "or I won't answer for him. And you mustn't let either of those men there" for the second of Nimrod's attendants had by this time come up "interfere with him or me. They let him go because they couldn't manage him.

My snake was dead now, so I put one foot on him to take his scalp his rattles, I mean when horrid thrills coursed through me. The uncanny thing began to wriggle and rattle with old-time vigour. I do not like to think of that simian inheritance. But, fortified by Nimrod's assurance that it was 'purely reflex neuro-ganglionic movement, I hardened my heart and captured his 'pod of dry peas.
The evening was now come, and in the dusk he would escape unseen. When they reached Nimrod's door, they found it closed; and Clare, stiff enough by this time, slipped off to open it. Nimrod began to paw the stones, and blow angry puffs from his wounded nose. When Clare got the door open, he saw, to his confusion, a vague dark bulk, another bull, in Nimrod's stall!
We attempted to cross that hateful divide, that at another time might have looked so beautiful, when suddenly Nimrod's horse plunged withers deep in a bog, and in his struggles to get out threw Nimrod head first from the saddle into the mud, where he lay quite still. I faced the horror of death at that moment. Of course, this was what I had been expecting, but had not been able to put into words.
