The highest point of the bridge was some five to seven feet above the water. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter 60, Sentence #204)

"To the bridge!" The bridge, entwined with the blue climbers, arched in a lovely manner, for a length of some thirty-five or forty feet over a narrow, decorative pond, on the surface of which bloomed white and yellow water flowers, rising from flat, green pads; below, in the pond, which was shallow, one could see the slow movements of colorful fish. No more than two men could stride that bridge, abreast. Either ascent could thus be well defended. The highest point of the bridge was some five to seven feet above the water. In the pause which followed Nodachi's swift, almost casual, felling of Lord Akio's two men, that small, eager, ill-fated vanguard unwisely addressing themselves, woefully unsupported, to their foray, both he and Lord Yamada had replaced their companion swords in their sashes and drawn up their field swords from the sand where they had deposited them, following the election of the companion sword as the instrument for resolving the matter which lay between them. The blow of the field sword can fell a small tree, or cut away the head of a glaive. We fenced away sporadic, tentative attacks about us, drawing back to the bridge. - (Rebels of Gor)
