“A big catafalque with dragon-embroidered curtains, the whole surmounted by Gee Graham, affectionately stroking a stuffed Chinese tiger, covered the shade of the Bulldog. Buddhist and Taoist priests chanted their prayers for the repose of the Bulldog soul in the after world — if such repose is possible. The Dalai Lama did likewise. Dragon flags fluttered, Chinese music played, and the Sacred Dragon kite floated over all.”
