It pleased the two old people to see him so warmly clad. It pleased them also that, thus dressed, he always reminded them of some sacred personage undetermined Jacob, or John the Baptist, or the man who went to meet the lion and be killed by him in Robert's big Bible, that is, in one or other of the woodcuts of the same.
When the man dies that is, when he as a soul lays aside his physical body he remains himself exactly as he was before, an entity separate from all other entities. When the lion dies, that which has been the separate soul of him is poured back into the mass from which it came a mass which is at the same time providing the souls for many other lions. To such a mass we give the name of "group-soul".
Tarzan wondered what effect the odor of blood would have upon the beast and was surprised to see that the animal only sniffed at the corpses and the hot red blood and then lay down beside the two dead men. He had passed the lion but a short distance when his attention was called to the figure of a man lowering himself laboriously from the roof of a building upon the east side of the thoroughfare.
Mackenzie had been the lion of the London season, and now that London was empty might have taken his choice of country houses for a week-end visit from whatever county he pleased. His visit was something of an honour, and was even chronicled in the newspapers, which had not yet lost interest in his movements.
Napoleon, with his army, was a mile away, his line extending to the right and left beyond La Belle Alliance. We must turn squarely around as we stand alongside the lion if we are to see in the distance the ground he occupied. Our place is nearly in the center of the field.

"Three Libyan standards are captured: the ram, the lion, and the sparrow-hawk!" More and more men gathered round the staff: it was surrounded by warriors who were bloody and dust-covered. "May he live through eternity! May he live through eternity, our leader!" The prince was so excited, that he laughed and cried in turn and said to his retinue, "The gods have been compassionate.
It consists of a man in the middle fighting with a dragon, with sword and shield, and at the sides in the quatrefoils Delilah cutting the hair of Samson, and Samson and the lion; a man and woman fighting.
A riot occurring in the cathedral, where a violent mob were engaged in defacing whatever was left to deface in that church, and in heaping insults on the papists at their worship, the little Count, who, says a Catholic contemporary, "had the courage of a lion," dashed in among them, sword in hand, killed three upon the spot, and, aided by his followers, succeeded in slaying, wounding, or capturing all the rest.
We do not desire to contradict published statements any farther than our own personal knowledge extends; hence, we give our authority for our statements in regard to the lion, very well satisfied ourself with Dr. Livingstone's love of truth and earnest candor. So much for the lion.
"How do you come to know her?" asked his father. "She lives in Petrus' house," replied the lad, "and as she had heard of your wound " "Take her my thanks when you go there to-morrow morning," said Stephanus. "To her and to her husband too. Is he a Gaul?" "I believe so nay, certainly," answered Hermas, "they call him the lion, and he is no doubt a Gaul?"
