The Lions

Then how do I tame Nimrod? Or is it Elsie?

  1. Have you tried putting your head into the gaping jaws of the shaggy lion, to gain its trust? Don't bother.
  2. The guard refers to Nimrod as "he."
  3. Nimrod, being male, is the shaggy lion; while Elsie, being female, is the smooth-bodied lion.
  4. Harry indicates that Elsie must be whipped three times to be brought under heel.
  5. Now, if you're holding the stool, you can successfully open the grating while keeping the shaggy Nimrod at bay.
  6. Of course, the lump of meat needs to be in the barred passage to lure the lions in there.
  7. And you have to leave the lions' den before Nimrod and Elsie take the bait and leave their den.
