With their subordinates, these two are supposed to have power not only over life and death, but over the reincarnation of the soul and entrance to the regions beyond rebirth. This isolated table-land is the seat of a former Buddhism better known by the name of Lamaism.
Philip went aside as the soldiers, followed by a crowd, rushed in; and returned to Claire, who was standing by the side of Pierre, a few paces away. "Let us go on," he said. A few yards further they were at the entrance of a lane running north. As Philip turned into it, a man caught him by the arm. "Where are you going, comrade?" he said. "There is plenty of work for your hammer, yet."
Bibi-Lupin knew better than to call out; but he sprang to his feet, ran to the entrance to the passage, and signed to a gendarme to stand on guard. Then, swift as lightning, he came back to the foe, who quietly looked on. Jacques Collin had decided what to do.
