The agile Frenchman was soon upon his feet again, and lost no time in knocking down two of his long-gowned adversaries with his fists and a vigorous application of his toes; then, rushing out of the pagoda as fast as his legs could carry him, he soon escaped the third priest by mingling with the crowd in the streets.
El francés, vigoroso y ágil, se levantó con viveza. De un puñetazo y un puntapié derribó a dos adversarios muy entorpecidos por su traje talar y lanzándose fuera de la pagoda con toda la velocidad de sus piernas, dejó muy presto atrás al tercer indio, que había salido en su seguimiento amotinando a la multitud.
