Details
10
31 126 Then Sarm seemed to lose interest in me, perhaps thinking I had been slain, more likely to conserve the charge in the silver tube for more important matters, for he then began, methodically, to fire at the paneling across from the dome, destroying one area after another.

10
21 224 Then I noted, across the prairie, hardly remarking it, a streak of dust in the sky.

10
25 2 Within, a girl, across the wagon, beyond the tiny fire bowl in the center of its floor, standing on the thick rug, near a hanging tharlarion-oil lamp, turned suddenly to face me.
Details
10
25 8 I could see a chain running across the rug from the slave ring to the sheet, beneath which it disappeared.
Details
10
25 159 Gracefully, insolently, the silken yellow sheet moved about and across her body and fell from her.

10
26 336 Slowly, not hurrying, in his boots he tramped across the rug, toward the sound.

26 496 I recalled he had moved it about with his foot, that once he had kicked it across the wagon for me to examine.

10
26 498 "But," I said, my voice trembling, "you rolled it about—you would throw it to the side of the wagon—once you even kicked it across the rug to me that I might examine it".
