If you'll honly do as I done and just acknowledge yourself a lost sinner 'Yes! that's the honly way! shouted Nimrod. 'Amen, cried all the other believers. If you'll honly come to 'im tonight in the same way as I done you'll see wot 'E's done for me 'E can do for you.
These were the facts: Natan had been grooming the horses, Nimrod and Buster, when suddenly and soundlessly there appeared before the window in the stables' rear, the misshapen head and shoulders of typo Ferdinand Bernal. He was mounted on a snow-white horse and seemed to the superstitious stable boy to have risen out of the ground.
The figure is called Semiramis without, so far as can be seen, any reason. It is one of a mélange of names for cards in which Wat Tyler and Tycho Brahe rub shoulders in the suit of Spades, and Mahomet and Nimrod in that of Diamonds! Elsewhere he is called "One-eyed Hewson."
I can hardly accept M. du Chaillu's explanation, that the Mpongwe, who attack the beasts with trade muskets and pebbles, will not venture into the anthropoid's haunts unless certain of their white employer's staunchness. What could that matter, when our Nimrod had an excellent weapon in his hand and a strong party to back him?
Making the most of Chedorlaomer's embarrassment, Nimrod led a host of seven thousand warriors against his former general. In the battle fought between Elam and Shinar, Nimrod suffered a disastrous defeat, he lost six hundred of his army, and among the slain was the king's son Mardon.
For the last 3000 years the world has been mainly indebted for its advancement to the Semitic and Indo-European races; but it was otherwise in the first ages. Egypt and Babylon Mizraim and Nimrod both descendants of Ham led the way, and acted as the pioneers of mankind in the various untrodden fields of art, literature, and science.
Herbert states that Attila is represented on an old medallion with a Teraphim, or a head, on his breast; and the same writer adds: "We know, from the 'Hamartigenea' of Prudentius, that Nimrod, with a snaky-haired head, was the object of adoration to the heretical followers of Marcion; and the same head was the palladium set up by Antiochus Epiphanes over the gates of Antioch, though it has been called the visage of Charon.
The fall days were short, and it was dusk before the evening chores were done, and Dan came in to the bright kitchen with Zeb and Nimrod both at his heels, and announced that he had a hole in his stomach as big as a bushel basket. For answer Nancy pointed to four golden-brown pies cooling on a shelf, and Dan smacked his lips in anticipation.
"Are you going that way?" he asked, pointing. The men answered him with a nod, sulky still. "Don't go with those men," said the woman, coming up to the side of the bull, and speaking in a low voice. "I don't like the look of them." "Nimrod will be on my side, ma'am," answered Clare. "They would never have got him home without me. They don't understand their fellow-creatures."
But Gerald is reading. I fancy that Gerald is clever." "And he is a great Nimrod?" "As to hunting." "Nimrod I fancy got his game in any way that he could compass it. I do not doubt but that he trapped foxes." "With a rifle at deer, say for four hundred yards, I would back Gerald against any man of his age in England or Scotland."
