Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
4	12	It was the wild nature of the tarn, the call of the distant hills, the open sky, against the puny conditioning he had been subjected to, against the will of tiny men with their private objectives, their elementary psychology of stimulus and response, their training wires and tarn-goads.	10
1	72	I brought it back to my camp and built my fire, against the darkness and cold.	10
1	218	As I lay there in the moonlight, I felt the earth beneath me, against my aching muscles and the body that was covered with the foul-smelling sheen of fear and sweat.	10
3	165	His whole body, his carriage, the holding of his head bespoke the warrior, a man who knew his weapons and, on the simple world of Gor, knew that he could kill almost any man who might stand against him.	10
3	187	During my training with the sword, the Older Tarl cut me unpleasantly a number of times, shouting out, annoyingly enough, I thought, "You are dead!" At last, near the end of my training, I managed to break through his guard and, pulling my stroke, to drive my blade against his chest.	10
3	201	I doubted that they stood against one another, man to man, sword to sword, in their holy mountains, putting their principles of selection to the test in their own cases.	10
3	240	Some dust blew against my face.	10
4	36	"Do you seek to climb to the Moons of Gor?" I suddenly realized I felt dizzy, or slightly so, but the magnificent black tarn was still climbing, though now struggling, his wings beating fiercely with frustrated persistence against the thinning, less resistant air.	10
5	22	In a matter of time Ko-ro-ba would be forced to match its comparative handful of tarnsmen against those of the Empire of Ar.	10
5	23	My father, in his office as Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, had attempted to develop an alliance against Ar, but the free cities of Gor had, in their pride and suspicion, their almost fanatical commitment to protecting their own independent destinies, refused the alliance.	10
5	30	She moaned softly and leaned back against me.	10
5	187	When I neared Ar, I crouched low in the saddle and hoped that the speck against a moon which might be seen by the watchmen of the outlying towers would be taken for a wild tarn, flying high over the city.	10
6	7	At last, satisfied, he brought his wings against his body and remained still, except for the alert movements of his great head and the flash of those wicked eyes scrutinizing the streams of men and women on the nearby bridges.	10
6	30	I felt the heavily robed figure dragging me back, tearing at my shoulders and throat with her nails, pitting against me all the fury of her enraged body.	10
6	61	Helplessly, she seemed to stammer some incoherent word of gratitude and turned trustfully to me, putting her arms around my waist as though for additional security; I felt her trembling, innocent body against mine, her dependence on me, and then she suddenly locked her arms around my waist and with ...	10
6	161	Exhausted, I sat with my back against the tree, my hand never leaving the hilt of my sword.	10
8	152	"Ko-ro-ba is one of the few cities my father feared," said Talena, "because he realized it might someday be effective in organizing other cities against him.	10
9	74	She stood up and jerked her foot against the chain, demonstrating that she was perfectly secured.	10
10	96	From the wagon came the sound of rolling bodies, slamming and cracking against the sides, and the rattle of chains on wood, pierced by squeals of pain and anger.	10
11	4	The flags of a hundred cities flew above the tents, and, against the steady roar of the river, the sound of the great tarn drums reached us, those huge drums whose signals control the complex war formations of Gor's flying cavalries.	10
11	10	Talena leaned back against my shoulder.	10
11	68	She gave me the change and leaned against my shoulder, claiming that she was weary.	10
11	99	Her heart beat wildly against my breast.	10
11	114	She clenched her body against mine, the buckles of the wide tharlarion belt cutting into her belly.	10
12	4	I blinked my eyes against the hot sun and tried to move my wrists and ankles.	10
12	6	Dimly I felt spear butts thrust against the side of the hollow frame, ready to edge it out into the current.	10
12	30	Just as the tiny object, black against the blue sky, reached its apogee, I heard the click of the trigger, the vibration of the string, and the swift hiss of the quarrel.	10
12	56	The spear butts pressed against the frame, shoving it away from the bank.	10
12	64	Of one thing I was certain—there would be no human assistance or even pity, for the poor wretches on the frames are none but villains, betrayers, and blasphemers against the Priest-Kings, and it is a sacrilegious act even to consider terminating their sufferings.	10
12	74	The water lapped against the side of the frame, the stars sparkled above in frosty detachment.	10
12	84	The sudden weight of the frame swinging against my roped wrists and ankles, while the talons of the bird gripped my body, almost tore me apart.	10
12	119	The saddle and reins of the tarn were no longer on the bird and had undoubtedly rotted off or had been rubbed from his back by scraping against the rock escarpment backing its nest ledge.	10
13	16	Perhaps the men of the mysterious camp heard the beating of the tarn's wings, perhaps I had been outlined for an instant against one of Gor's three circling moons, but suddenly the fires disappeared, kicked apart in a flash of sparks, and the glowing embers were smothered almost immediately.	10
13	34	Its ears were lying back, flat against the sides of its wide head.	10
13	73	Oddly enough, casuistically, stoning the Afflicted is not regarded as a violation of the Priest-Kings' supposed injunction against shedding their blood.	10
14	27	He looked into my eyes for a long time, then leaned back against his rough throne.	10
14	138	The birds were pulling against one another, stabilized in their flight, each trying to pull away from the other.	10
16	17	Sometimes the forces of Ar would drive the men of Pa-Kur back against the defensive stakes, and once they drove them to take refuge across the now constructed siege bridges spanning the great ditch.	10
16	21	But gradually the tarnsmen of Ar were diminished, overwhelmed by the superior forces which Pa-Kur could, with ruthless liberality, throw against them.	10
16	35	Through small postern gates other defenders rushed against the towers on the ground, only to be met by Pa-Kur's clustered support troops.	10
17	104	Still, the days in the tarn cot, gigantic though it was, must have been confining for that Ubar of the Skies, my tarn, and I knew he would relish flight, the chance to pit his wings once again against the fierce winds of Gor.	10
18	109	My helmet protected me as my head was roughly dragged against the granite of the ceiling.	10
18	173	The thought flamed through me in the violent delirium of battle that in those moments I was many men, an army, that no man could stand against me, that it was not my blade or my heart they faced but something I myself only dimly sensed, something intangible but irresistible, an avalanche, a storm, a...	10
18	184	It was behind this makeshift rampart, which could be defended against a hundred men, that I saw the haggard but still blazing eyes of Marlenus.	10
19	183	Moreover, with the closing of the great gate, there was no refuge in the city; they were trapped against the walls, packed like cattle for the slaughter, trampling one another, unable to use their weapons.	10

Book 2. (65 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
4	74	I raised my eyes to the storm, and my spear and shield, and shouted into the storm, my voice drowned in the turbulence of nature, a defiant puff of wind hurled against the forces that seemed arrayed against me.	10
21	109	The girl shrank against the tree, her back against its white, rough bark.	10
1	113	"You have lifted a weapon against me," he said.	10
3	92	Members of low castes often call themselves by a use-name, reserving the real name for intimates and friends, to protect it against capture by a sorcerer or worker of spells who might use it to do them harm.	10
4	43	I could see the shadows of tall Ka-la-na trees bending against the darkness of the night, their leaves lifting and rustling on the long branches.	10
4	66	My eyes were half closed against the storm.	10
4	76	I had hardly moved another step when, in a flash of lightning, I saw the sleen, this time a fully grown animal, some nineteen or twenty feet long, charging toward me, swiftly, noiselessly, its ears straight against its pointed head, its fur dark, slick with rain, its fangs bared, its wide nocturnal ...	10
5	76	He seemed to shake with pain, his hands pressed against his head, trying to speak to me, trying to tell me something.	10
5	86	"On the Cylinder of Justice I fought with you against Pa-Kur and his assassins".	10
9	98	He bit against the metal, the muscles on his jaw bulging in the lamplight.	10
9	106	I leaned my shield and spear against the wall, set the helmet beside the table, unslung the sword belt, laying the weapon across the table before me, and prepared to wait.	10
10	26	How would my word, the word of a stranger, weigh against the words of Ost, a citizen of Tharna and perhaps one of significance? Yet, incredibly perhaps, I looked forward to seeing the palace and the Tatrix, to meeting face to face the unusual woman who could rule, and rule well, a city of Gor.	10
11	130	"Of conspiracy against the throne of Tharna," said the Tatrix.	10
11	132	"Ost," said the Tatrix, her voice like ice, "you are guilty of treason against Tharna.	10
11	133	It is known you conspire against the throne".	10
11	146	"What more do you know of this plot against the throne?" asked Lara of the sniveling Ost.	10
11	192	"Ost knew himself to be suspected of plotting against the throne".	10
12	52	"You conspired against the throne?" I asked.	10
13	100	"Very well," I said, and squared off against him.	10
13	132	Painfully, as he writhed, hung in the yoke, I carried him to the golden wall, and hurled him against it.	10
14	143	I could feel the muscles of my arm and back pitting their strength against the obdurate metal.	10
15	58	I set her down gently against the far wall of the cliff, as far from the edge as I could.	10
15	60	Standing between the Tatrix and the winged carnivore, I cried "Tabuk!" It began to stalk toward the girl, who rose to her knees, her back pressed against the unyielding wall of the cliff, and screamed.	10
15	62	The bird seemed to hesitate, and then, with a motion almost tender, it thrust its beak against my body.	10
15	147	She squared off against me, regal, haughty, insolent.	10
15	176	She crumpled piteously against the wall, weeping.	10
15	235	The great beak nudged the meat against my legs.	10
16	108	The warrior whose arm had been broken knelt on the marble flooring of the pillar, bent over, rocking back and forth, the injured arm held against his body.	10
17	13	I nodded, and leaned back against the damp, solid stone that formed the sides of the chamber.	10
17	47	"I shall inform against you," hissed Ost, "for plotting an escape".	10
17	50	"You will inform against no one," said a voice, which I recognized as that of the bull-like Kron of Tharna, of the Caste of Metal Workers, he whose life I had spared in the arena during the Battles of Oxen.	10
17	65	I sat with my back against the damp wall, listening to the sounds of their sleep.	10
18	84	He dropped Ost, and the conspirator crawled to the length of his chain and huddled against the wall, trembling with fear.	10
18	129	"Brace your back against the wall of the shaft," I said.	10
19	75	"Think, Kron of Tharna," I cried, "soon tarnsmen will fly from the walls of Tharna and the infantry will move against us".	10
19	78	"We do not have the weapons or the training or the beasts we would need to stand against the soldiers of Tharna," I said.	10
20	6	I knew that I didn't have a great deal of time, for the avenging tarnsmen of Tharna would soon be visible against the three moons.	10
20	90	I took the tarn as high as I could, until his wings beat frantically against the thin air, but could see nothing in the Sardar Mountains that might be the habitation of Priest-Kings.	10
20	129	The great head moved quizzically and dipped to the ground, rubbing against my leg.	10
20	136	It shook its wings and screamed, and hurled itself against the wind.	10
20	137	I watched it until, a tiny speck against the blue sky, it disappeared in the distance.	10
21	26	She knelt, her back against a slender, white birchlike tree to which she was chained naked.	10
22	86	After this incredible outburst she went to the side of the tent, and held one of the hangings with her fist, thrusting her face against it.	10
22	154	Remember you stood against me.	10
22	224	She was very beautiful under the lamp, against the rich hangings of the tent.	10
23	42	What could I balance against her—my honor, my thirst for vengeance, my curiosity, my frustration, my fury? I put my arm about her shoulder and led her down from the hillock.	10
23	51	She put her head against my shoulder.	10
23	146	"I fought for her," said the boy, lying back against my arm.	10
23	207	I slowly drew my sword, and thrust the girl to the side of the street against the wall.	10
23	212	She would probably be slain against the wall by which she stood.	10
24	75	"I do not know how she has bewitched you, but we will have no Tatrix in Tharna!" "She is everything that we fight against," protested Andreas.	10
24	97	"Is it right that the men of Tharna lift their weapons against one another, men within the same walls?" "It is a sad thing," said Kron.	10
24	119	"She is what we fought against," said Kron.	10
24	120	"No," I said, "you fought against the cruel ways of Tharna.	10
24	121	You fought for your pride and your freedom, not against that girl".	10
24	122	"We fought against the golden mask of Tharna," shouted Kron, pounding his fist on the table.	10
24	143	Tarns, however, would not be too effective against the rebels in the city.	10
24	257	I leaned against the heavy doors and swung them open.	10
25	13	Our wild shadows like misformed giants locked in combat against the lofty walls of the torchlit chamber.	10
25	58	At the top of the stairs I pressed against a trap and flung it open.	10
25	62	I emerged onto the roof, my eyes half shut against the intense light.	10
25	97	To my surprise the men did not raise their arms against me.	10
26	90	Her head was against my shoulder.	10
26	108	I speak as though my frail arm might avail against the power of Priest-Kings.	10
26	132	The cylinders grow dark against the darkening sky.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
7	31	The second girl was tall, fragile and willowy, with slender ankles and large, hurt eyes; she had dark, curling hair that fell about her shoulders and stood out against the white of her garment; she may have been of High Caste; without speaking to her it would be hard to tell; even then it might be d...	10
25	2	They had now entered my skin and to my horror I felt a pull against my tissues and knew that the creature was now sucking through those foul tubes, but I was a man, a mammal, and not a Priest-King, and my body fluids were locked within the circulatory system of another form of being, and I thrust ag...	10
26	83	At these words Vika suddenly turned to face me, desperately, her back against the plastic side of the case, the palms of her hands against it.	10
35	12	About two hundred yards above the camp, toward the Sardar, whose crags could be seen looming in the background against the black, star-shattered night was a strange figure, outlined against one of the white, rushing moons of Gor.	10
1	45	I do not hold this against the contests of scribes; rather I commend it to the members of my own caste.	10
1	46	I missed Torm and wondered if I would ever see him again, bounding about excoriating the authors of dusty scrolls, knocking the inkwell from his desk with an imperial sweep of the sleeve of his blue robe, leaping on the table in birdlike fury denouncing one scribe or another for independently redisc...	10
1	56	Yet perhaps this is not so puzzling, for the Gorean cities will, within their own walls, enforce the Merchant Law when pertinent, even against their own citizens.	10
1	59	Indeed it is considered a crime against the Priest-Kings to bloody one's weapons at the fairs.	10
1	69	Other contests of interest pit choruses and poets and players of various cities against one another in the several theaters of the fair.	10
1	101	He had, as a man, lifted his fist against the might of Priest-Kings and so he had died, defiantly, though horribly, with great nobility.	10
2	27	The slaves obediently pressed their weight against the timber spokes of the two windlasses and they creaked and the chains tightened.	10
2	28	Their naked feet slipped in the dirt and they pressed ever more tightly against the heavy, obdurate bars.	10
2	29	Now their bodies humped with pain, clenching themselves against the spokes.	10
3	15	Two great clawed paws smote my shield and hurled me twenty feet against the cliff.	10
3	40	As the beasts had felt the tug of the chains they had slunk snarling back against the cliffs, and now they crouched down, their chains little more than massive leashes.	10
3	42	Throaty growls menaced me, and an occasional paw, the claws extended, was lifted, but the beasts made no effort now to pull against the grim, jewel-set collars which bound them.	10
3	46	To my amazement a man stepped from the passage, blinking against the sun.	10
4	32	Then, smartly, Parp cracked his pipe a few times against the side of the throne, scattering ashes and unsmoked tobacco about on the floor of the dais.	10
4	48	Then he cleaned it as before, knocking it against the side of the throne, and refilled it.	10
4	49	He lit it again with the small, silverish object, and leaned back against the throne.	10
4	59	I began to feel all the hatred of all the years that I had nursed against the Priest-Kings now uncontrollably, slowly, violently growing in my body, wild, fierce, those foliating scarlet vines of my fury that now seemed to encircle me, to enfold me, to engulf me, swelling, steaming, now writhing afl...	10
4	127	He pounded it once sharply against the throne and thrust it into the wallet he wore at his side.	10
4	144	It clattered noisily against the first step.	10
5	8	The walls were of plain dark stone with energy bulbs fixed in them; the furnishings seemed to consist mostly of two or three large chests against one wall.	10
5	34	She rinsed the bowl and refilled it, and then took another towel of soft linen from a carved chest against the wall.	10
5	40	She rinsed the bowl again and set it against the wall to drain dry.	10
5	87	She ran to the far wall and crouched against it.	10
5	178	"Have you tried shielding yourself?" I asked, looking at the bronze laver which was drying against the wall.	10
5	284	She fixed on me a look of the most lofty disdain and, standing against the wall, lifting her arms behind the back of her neck, she prepared to replace the fillet.	10
6	92	In one of the chests against the wall I had found, among the garments of various other castes, a warrior's tunic.	10
7	78	When I came to a bend in the passageway I rounded it, and then pressed myself against the wall and waited.	10
8	4	So suddenly had she arisen that she had struck her knee against the couch and this had not much pleased her.	10
8	49	I seized the bowl from her hand and hurled it underhanded up against the bulb which, though it had apparently burned out, shattered with a great flash and hiss of smoke and sparks.	10
8	66	Vika trembled against me and in my joy with my fist still in her hair I bent my face to hers and kissed her full on those magnificent lips and she cried out helpless in my arms and wept but did not resist.	10
8	80	She leaped from the stone couch and ran to me, seizing my sword arm, but with my left hand I flung her back and she fell stumbling back against the side of the stone couch.	10
8	82	Six times the hilt of my sword struck against the sensors and six times there was a hissing pop like the explosion of hot glass and a bright shower of scarlet sparks.	10
8	96	I smiled as I watched her go to fetch a towel from one of the chests against the wall.	10
8	113	Each year in the fall legions of tarnsmen from Treve were said to emerge from the Voltai like locusts and fall on the fields of one city or another, different cities in different years, harvesting what they needed and burning the rest in order that a long, retaliatory winter campaign could not be la...	10
8	126	With a graceful movement she rose and went back again to the chests against the wall.	10
8	147	Thus when the tarnsmen of Treve came to the grain fields of Ko-ro-ba, which lie for the most part some pasangs from the city, toward the Vosk and Tamber Gulf, they would find her tarnsmen arrayed against them.	10
8	173	She went to the chest against the wall, to replace the tube of ointment.	10
9	78	I looked about the room, at the chests against the wall dim in the reduced light of the energy bulbs, at the walls, at the shattered device in the ceiling, at the broken sensors, at the great, empty portal that led into the passageway beyond.	10
9	213	I found myself tempted to break her head against the foot of the stone couch, for she was worthless, treacherous, seductive, cruel, vicious, worthy only of the collar, irons and the whip! She shook her head numbly as though denying charges I had not voiced.	10
14	45	"Hair," I said, leaning against the portal.	10
14	58	I leaned back against the portal of the Hall of Processing, my eyes closed, and took several slow, deep breaths.	10
15	46	What most astonished me was that he had wings, long, slender, beautiful, golden, translucent wings, folded against his back.	10
16	104	"I have been working against Sarm and the others for millennia," said Misk, "and at last—more than three hundred years ago—I managed to obtain the egg from which this male emerged".	10
17	135	There was a sudden flash of fire and a crack of sound from the hollow tube as some projectile hurtled through it and shattered against the rock.	10
18	19	A startled Mul had leaped back against the wall.	10
18	124	I wondered if hurling my weight against Sarm I might have tumbled him from that platform to his death far below.	10
20	12	The air of the tunnel moved against us and the portals we passed slid behind in a soft blur.	10
20	62	In the cylinder, save for her head which was held in place by a circular opening in the top of the cylinder, was a girl, clad in the traditional robes of concealment, even to the veil, whose gloved hands pressed helplessly against the interior of the cylinder.	10
20	93	She trembled in the cylinder, pressing her small hands against it, and wept.	10
20	190	"See how he uses the instincts of humans against themselves," he said to his companion.	10
21	56	While the creatures remaining on the floor continued their mournful paean, their fellow creatures on the walls and ceiling, still carrying their torches, and scattering wild shadows of their own bodies and those of swollen Priest-Kings against the ceiling, began to fill their golden vessels from the...	10
22	78	I found myself pressed up tightly against his thorax.	10
23	58	Time and time again I stumbled against outcroppings of rock and bruised my shoulders and thighs but never once did I diminish my speed in my headlong race back to the cavern of the Golden Beetle.	10
23	70	I then took my sword and wiped the oil from one side of the blade and set the shining steel against the lips of the girl from Treve.	10
23	72	I gathered her in my arms and held her against me.	10
24	57	I leaned the Mul-Torch against the side of the passage.	10
25	66	I pulled my hands free and crawled in the darkness to one side of the passage and lay down against the wall.	10
25	68	I shut my eyes but to no avail against the burning universes that seemed to float and explode before my eyes.	10
25	69	I do not know if I lost consciousness or not but I suppose I may have, for the next thing I remember was that the pain had gone from my body and that I lay against the wall weak and sick.	10
25	101	I also noted, against the far wall of the brilliantly lit area, tiers and tiers of plastic cases, much like the one I had occupied in Misk's compartment.	10
25	108	I saw one humanoid creature, small with a receding forehead and excessively hairy face and body, bounding about in one case, racing along and leaping with his feet against the wall and then with the momentum established dashing along the next wall of the case and then dropping to the floor to repeat...	10
25	112	When one of the attendant Muls happened to pass near the case the two little tabuk immediately froze, becoming almost invisible, and the mother, her bright golden pelt gleaming, began to prance away from them, while the angry male lowered his head against the Mul and trotted in a threatening manner ...	10
25	125	She lay on her side against the wall of the shaft, some seven or eight feet back from the grille.	10
26	20	For a moment I almost yielded, but I steeled myself against her trickery and continued my work.	10
26	62	She moaned and leaned against the side of the case, her eyes closed.	10
26	142	She stood back against the rear of the case scarcely able to stand.	10
26	218	I held her for a moment and kissed her and her kiss met mine wet and warm, sweet and hot and salty with the tears that had coursed down her cheeks and then I threw her back and she stumbled across the case and fell to her knees against the wall on the opposite side.	10
26	226	With a cry she leaped to her feet and threw herself against the door, her face suddenly wild with tears, and pounded on it madly with her small fists.	10
26	230	She stopped pounding on the plastic partition and stared out at me, her face stained with tears, her hands pressed against the plastic.	10
26	291	I briefly turned to face her again and almost unconsciously I kissed the tips of my fingers and pressed them against the plastic.	10
27	171	In that instant I saw the bladelike projections disappear from the tips of Sarm's forelegs and he folded his forelegs against his body and ceased resistance, even lifting his head in order to further expose the crucial tube that linked thorax with head.	10
28	74	She stood before me blinking against the light of the Mul-Torch, trying to smile.	10
28	222	There were no propellers or jets or rockets and I find it difficult to understand or explain the drive save that it used the forces of gravity against themselves in such a way that the amount, if one may use so inept an expression, of gravitational Ur, which is the Gorean expression for the gravitat...	10
28	225	I would not have believed the ship was possible but I found it difficult to offer the arguments of my old world's physics against the fact of Misk's success.	10
29	42	Moreover, I knew that the cage plastic with which my own ship was protected would be no more protection than tissue paper against Sarm's weapons, the nature of which was not to pierce or melt but, from a given center, radiating outwards, to shatter material gravitationally, breaking it apart and sca...	10
29	78	With grim decision I pressed the firing switch of the silver tube and there was a shattering burst of fire and I heard and felt branches of steel and tubing flying back against my armored transportation disk.	10
29	91	The silver tube might be draining its power but it was still a fearsome weapon against an exposed enemy.	10
29	95	Now, in the shattered rim of the plastic dome, scarcely protected against the rushing wind, I fought to regain control of the craft.	10
29	114	I savagely hurled my weight against the controls but they remained unresponsive.	10
29	128	I pressed the firing switch of the silver tube and it gave forth with a short, abortive scorching blast and was cold, but the golden body of the Priest-King blackened and, half sliced through, reeled against the wall and fell at my feet.	10
29	144	Did it wish me to comb the antennae? Was it conscious? Was it mad with pain? I stood not understanding and then the Priest-King did what he wished: with a toss of his great golden head he hurled his antennae against my blade, cutting them from his head, and then, after a moment, having closed himsel...	10
30	47	In the center of this disk, recessed so I could not dash my head against it, was an iron ring.	10
30	55	I conceded the point in silence, amazed at the restorative powers of Priest-Kings, those redoubtable golden foes against which mere men had dared to pit themselves.	10
30	90	With a cry of rage I struggled in my chains to my knees, pulling against the metal collar that held me to my place.	10
30	118	"You see, Mul," said he, "how Priest-Kings use the instincts of men against them".	10
30	185	Meanwhile, slowly, incredibly, the War in the Nest began to turn against Sarm.	10
30	196	I struggled, enraged, against the chains and collar that held me a helpless prisoner while the issues of the day were being decided by fire in the streets outside.	10
31	132	Sarm kept firing long, persistent bursts of fire at the paneling against the walls, undoubtedly attempting to destroy the instrumentation.	10
31	134	I left cover and rushed to the walkway and was soon climbing up the narrow path that crept around the surface of the globe that now barely contained the frenzied, bubbling fury, the turbulence of the hissing, erupting substance that leaped and smote against the smooth enclosing walls.	10
31	211	"It is thus," I said, "that men use the instincts of Priest-Kings against them".	10
32	23	"Come!" I cried, pounding my fist against his thorax.	10
32	78	"Very well," said Vika, putting her head against my shoulder.	10
32	99	"The plant of the Muls," said Al-Ka, "which we have been readying for five hundred years, preparing for the revolt against Priest-Kings".	10
32	131	Vika screamed and I pressed her more tightly against me.	10
32	276	"Did you know," he asked, "that Vika was the female Mul who drove away the Golden Beetles when Sarm sent them against the forces of Misk?" "No," I said, "I did not know".	10
32	289	Hurriedly Parp knocked the ashes and sparks from his pipe against the arm of the throne.	10
32	310	I stood at the portal, sword drawn, to defend it against the larls should they attempt to enter.	10
32	318	And Parp uttered a great sob, his head falling against the shoulder of his daughter.	10
33	38	Well could I suppose the terror and upheavals that had brought these men, normally so divided against one another in the strife of their warring cities, to the palisade, to the dark shadows of the Sardar—the earthquakes, the tidal waves, the hurricanes and atmospheric disturbances, and the un...	10
33	119	Who would believe them? Who would take the word of scattered vagrants against the word of the mighty Caste of Initiates? And, if he did believe them, who would dare to speak out that he did so? The Initiates, it seemed, had conquered.	10
34	7	But the little fellow's sandy hair and pale, watery eyes were hidden in the vast sleeve of his blue robe as he leaned against my side and wept unabashedly.	10
35	17	Outlined against the largest of Gor's three hurtling moons was the black silhouette, as sharp and keen as a knife, of a Priest-King.	10
35	168	Together we watched the tall figure on the hill, outlined against the moon, not moving, standing in the uncanny, marvelous immobility of the Priest-King, only its antennae blowing back over its head in the wind.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
23	214	Many of the bottles of wine were gone and those that were not had been shattered against the floor, or against the wagon poles, leaving dark stains on the poles and on the hides behind them.	10
25	930	It was well toward morning, and he was nearly asleep, when he felt them against him, their cheek pressed against his thigh.	10
1	56	Not only does the flesh of the bosk and the milk of its cows furnish the Wagon Peoples with food and drink, but its hides cover the domelike wagons in which they dwell; its tanned and sewn skins cover their bodies; the leather of its hump is used for their shields; its sinews form their thread; its ...	10
2	59	Then for the first time, against the horizon, a jagged line, humped and rolling like thundering waters, seemed to rise alive from the prairie, vast, extensive, a huge arc, churning and pounding from one corner of the sky to the other, the herds of the Wagon Peoples, encircling, raising dust into the...	10
2	61	I saw the slender line of his light lance against the sky, strapped across his back.	10
2	65	I also noted, about his throat, now lowered, there was a soft leather wind scarf which might, when the helmet veil was lifted, be drawn over the mouth and nose, against the wind and dust of his ride.	10
2	118	The third rider placed himself, reining in suddenly, pulling the mount to its hind legs, and it reared snarling against the bit, and then stood still, its neck straining toward me.	10
2	142	Their long ears were laid back against the fierce, silken heads.	10
5	17	As we passed among the wagons I leaped back as a tawny prairie sleen hurled itself against the bars of a sleen cage, reaching out for me with its six-clawed paw.	10
6	66	Against my better judgment I spoke to her.	10
8	109	In the morning I awakened to find Elizabeth sitting, red-eyed, at the side of the wagon, leaning back against one of the poles that supported the wagon hides, wrapped in the pelt of the red larl.	10
8	121	She leaned back against the wagon pole.	10
8	128	He looked at her, her back tight against the wagon pole, clutching the pelt of the larl about her with her braceleted hands.	10
8	181	He was Albrecht of the Kassars, and, with Conrad of the Kassars, had been riding against myself and Kamchak.	10
8	186	"On the outcome of the sport," he said, and then pointed to two girls, both his, standing to the left in their furs, "against those two".	10
8	224	She was a very exciting, vital, proud girl and the tiny golden nose ring, against her brownish skin, with her flashing dark eyes, did not detract from her considerable but rather insolent beauty.	10
8	227	A young man, blondish-haired with blue eyes, unscarred, bumped against the girl's stirrup in the press of the crowd.	10
8	250	None of those, however, who led raids on enemy caravans or sorties against the city and its outlying fields, or retaliated upon their neighbors in the delicate matters of bosk stealing, would accept him in their parties.	10
8	357	She had not, for example, timed her counting, for long hours, under the tutelage of a master, against the heartbeat of a kaiila, he keeping the beat but not informing her what it was, until she had called the beat.	10
8	434	"Very well, he-tharlarion," said the girl, "your bola—against a kiss".	10
8	457	How cleverly Conrad had pretended to mock Albrecht when he had bet two girls against one.	10
8	465	Her feet were off the ground and she had the side of her head pressed against his furred boot.	10
8	524	"Master," she said, her eyes glazed, too weak to struggle against the thongs that encircled her wrists.	10
9	336	His hand drew back but the blow never fell, for with a cry of pain he reeled away, the hilt of a quiva pressed against the inside of his forearm, the balance of the blade emerging on the other side.	10
9	440	But no one would move against the quiva.	10
9	482	"All right," said Saphrar, his eyes cast down, as though making a decision against his better judgment, "I will permit my ward, the Lady Aphris of Turia, to stand at the stake in Love War".	10
10	18	It was one of the highest prices ever paid among the wagons for a slave and I judged that Albrecht had sorely missed his little Tenchika; the high price he was forced to pay for the girl was made even more intolerable by Kamchak's amusement at his expense, roaring with laughter and slapping his knee...	10
10	54	I sprang from the saddle of the kaiila and kneeling beside her held her in my arms, pressing her head against my shoulder.	10
10	387	It seemed then Aphris of Turia leaned back for an instant in exhausted relief against the stake.	10
10	427	The Kassar girl put her back against the stake, trembling with relief.	10
10	470	"Fight him, filthy Tuchuk!" screamed Aphris of Turia, pulling against the retaining rings.	10
12	188	Against her dark almond eyes and long black hair the yellow camisk was exceedingly lovely.	10
12	221	Inside the enclosure, over against one side, I saw the slave wagon.	10
12	327	She seemed barely able to kneel and, at last, I permitted her to lean against me, and she did, her chin on my right shoulder.	10
13	8	Their ears began to lay back against the sides of their triangular heads; their long, serpentine bodies trembled; I saw claws emerge from their paws, retract, emerge again and then retract; they lifted their heads, sweeping them from side to side, and then thrust their snouts to the ground and began...	10
13	16	Before I could remonstrate with the angry Tuchuk the hunting sleen suddenly seemed to go wild, rearing on their hind legs, scratching in the air, dragging against the chains.	10
13	17	It was all Kamchak's kaiila could do to brace itself against their sudden madness.	10
13	25	The sleen were trying to get at her and she had backed away against the wagon, watching them warily.	10
13	64	She stood well, her eyes closed, her right cheek pressed against the leather rim of the wheel.	10
13	119	It had not struck back at him swiftly enough to please him, and there were only four needlelike scratches in the arm guard before Kamchak had managed to leap back and the kaiila, lunging against its chain, was snapping at him.	10
14	43	In the distance we heard a sound like a thunder of wings and then, against the three white moons of Gor, to my dismay, we saw tarnsmen pass overhead, striking toward the camp.	10
15	11	The archery of tarnsmen, of course, is most effective against massed infantry or clusters of the ponderous tharlarion.	10
15	18	He stood as a nomad, in his way baffled at the walls raised against him.	10
15	53	I had heard, from a master of hunting sleen, that the Omens were developing predictably, several to one against the choice of a Ubar San.	10
15	55	One could hardly blame the Kassars, the Kataii and Paravaci for not wanting to be led by a Tuchuk against Turia—or for not wanting to acquire the Tuchuk troubles by uniting with them in any fashion.	10
15	94	She seemed to leave the distressed, red-eyed Aphris of Turia alone, perhaps because she was Turian, perhaps because she had no grievance against her.	10
16	32	I heard Harold's voice in the darkness, sounding hollow against the tiled walls and over the water.	10
16	58	Yet I did not care to pursue again that underground stream nor, particularly, on some new trip to Turia, to swim once more against it.	10
16	59	It is one thing to roll about in a public bath or splash about in some pool or stream, but quite another to struggle for pasangs against a current in a tunnel channel with only a few inches between the water and the roof of the tunnel.	10
16	125	"Was this," I asked Harold, "a part of your plan?" He grinned, pressing against the net, trying its strength.	10
18	35	I could see it rippling, and splashing a bit against the edge of the marbled basin.	10
18	66	Upside down, locked in the gelling fluid, I took the quiva from my mouth and, with both hands, pressed down with the blade against that twitching, jerking, withdrawing membrane.	10
18	68	Crowded about my body now were entangling filaments and spheres trying, like hands and teeth, to tear me from my work, but I struck and tore again and again and then entered the secret world beneath the membrane slashing to the left and right and suddenly the fluid began to loosen and withdraw above...	10
18	87	Harold, wrists still bound behind his back, hurled himself against two men and, screaming, they pitched backward into the Yellow Pool of Turia.	10
18	115	Angry, I sped about the dome, not wishing to silhouette myself against the sky on its curve, lest there be enemy bowmen within range.	10
19	7	I leaned back against the tree, breathing heavily.	10
19	33	And so we sat with our backs against the flower tree in the House of Saphrar, merchant of Turia.	10
19	36	Besides several of the flower trees there were also some Ka-la-na trees, or the yellow wine trees of Gor; there was one large-trunked, reddish Tur tree, about which curled its assemblage of Tur-Pah, a vinelike tree parasite with curled, scarlet, ovate leaves, rather lovely to look upon; the leaves o...	10
19	40	Then I became aware of the flickerings and reflections of light from over the wall, against some of the higher buildings about.	10
19	67	He made his way across some dark blue and yellowish-orange grass and came to the buildings set against one wall of the gardens.	10
19	85	There was no fountain in the room but, against one wall, there were some low tables with fruits and drinks upon them.	10
20	32	Harold and I then got up and, with Hereena under one of his arms, we circumspectly made our way from roof to roof until we saw the keep, rising like a dark cylinder against one of Gor's three moons.	10
20	75	I struck again and the other rope burst from my stroke and the bridge swung rapidly back against the wall of the building opposite with a clatter of sticks and cries, knocking the remaining, clinging guardsmen from it, dropping them like wood senseless to the foot of the wall.	10
20	151	Then I hauled on the one-strap and seeing Harold's bird wheeling about in circles against one of the Gorean moons sped to his side.	10
21	117	In attempting to defend against this attack both her father and her two older brothers had been beaten to death.	10
21	180	She knew as well as I that the guards were still questioning those who would depart from Turia, but she knew too, as I, that each day, each hour, I remained in Turia counted against me.	10
22	8	The city was largely without leadership, though here and there brave Turians had gathered guardsmen and men-at-arms and determined civilians and sealed off streets, forming fortresses within the city against the invaders.	10
22	24	I could smell tharlarion oil on the walls, waiting to be fired and poured on those who might attempt to dig at the walls or mount ladders against them.	10
22	104	At one end of the room, on the throne of the Ubar, a purple robe thrown over his black leather, sat dour Kamchak of the Tuchuks, his shield and lance leaning against the throne, an unsheathed quiva on the right arm of the throne.	10
23	10	Kamchak would meanwhile marshal his forces within the city, preparing to withdraw, Kutaituchik unavenged, to ride back against the Paravaci.	10
23	85	In the morning, however, they would presumably avoid the herd, find a clear avenue of attack, and strike, perhaps even through the wagons, pinning us against our own herd.	10
23	98	The latter would be driven before the warriors through the wagons, both slave girls and free women stripped and bound together in groups, providing shields against arrows and lance charges on kaiilaback for the men advancing behind them.	10
23	104	It was like a flood of kaiila and riders, weapons flourishing, that broke and piled against the wagons, the rear ranks pressing forward on those before them.	10
24	9	I and Kamchak expected Saphrar to flee by tarn at any moment, for it must now be clear to him that the strike of the Paravaci against the Tuchuk wagons and herds had not forced Kamchak to withdraw; indeed, his forces were now supplemented by Kataii and Kassars, a development which must have horrifie...	10
24	95	I remembered that night—the long swim against the underground current, the well, our capture, the Yellow Pool of Turia, the Pleasure Gardens, the tarns—and escape.	10
25	51	I restraightened the collar and walked away, going to the other side of the wagon, leaning my hands against it, wanting to think.	10
25	92	With my right hand I pressed her head more closely against me, holding it.	10
25	100	She leaned against me yet again.	10
25	414	It shattered against the wine chest.	10
25	604	"Against yours!" she laughed.	10
25	656	I put my two hands in the Turian circlet, and, lifting it up, against her chin, forcing her head back, thrust her back some inches.	10
25	673	By the collar, of course, pressing downward I could have forced her to her knees before me, and then, pressing the collar up and back, and against her chin, might force her from her knees helplessly to her back on the rug at my feet.	10
25	890	"Please!" With my left hand I jerked the collar against the back of her neck.	10
26	54	"Beware," I warned, "the tarnsmen of Ha-Keel—they might yet turn the brunt of battle against you".	10
26	109	Behind me I heard hundreds of ladders and grappling hooks strike against the wall, and, turning, I saw, climbing over the walls, as well as entering through the open gates, hundreds and hundreds of men, until the walls were swarming with Tuchuks, and others of the Wagon Peoples.	10
26	137	As one animal they turned and pulled their keeper by the chain leashes to what appeared to be a solid wall, where they rose on their back two legs and set their other four legs against it, snarling, whimpering, hissing.	10
26	262	The animals raged against the chain leashes, maddened as they were drawn farther from Saphrar, their prey.	10
26	291	"It had to have been the Ubar of the Paravaci—for who else could have sent their riders against the Tuchuk wagons, who else could have promised a mercenary tarnsman half the bosk and gold and women and wagons of the Paravaci?" I was only dimly aware of their conversation.	10
26	357	Then Saphrar, merchant of Turia, struggled, pounding against the caked material near to him, to prevent his being drawn under.	10
26	453	Then you went with Harold to the city, and so I knew that to seize the egg against such overwhelming odds you were ready to give your life.	10
27	59	"Each of you," he said, "the Kassars—the Kataii—the Paravaci—have your own bosk and your own wagons—live so—but in time of war—when there are those who would divide us—when there are those who would fight us and threaten our wagons and our bosk and wo...	10
27	147	"That," said he, "the Kataii and the Kassars—and, too, in time the Paravaci—would see how we might be divided against ourselves and singly destroyed—and would thus recognize the need for uniting the standards, bringing together the Thousands under one command—" "That they...	10
27	220	She took his hand and he drew her to the saddle before him, where she turned, sitting across the saddle, and placed her head against his right shoulder, weeping.	10
28	44	Swiftly I climbed the short ladder to the tarn saddle, and tied it against the saddle.	10

3	38	The odds are usually one to forty, one copper tarn disk against a forty-piece, sometimes against an eighty-piece, and sometimes the amateur who would play the master insists on further limitations, such as the option to three consecutive moves at a point in the game of his choice, or that the master...	10
11	346	"You beast!" Flaminius suddenly reached into the cage and, taking the girl by the wrists, jerked her against the bars, painfully so, holding her at arm's length cruelly against them.	10

1	53	Then he picked up his spear, and stood there, against the sky, on the crest of the hill, in the black tunic.	10

2	30	There were three Musicians against one wall.	10
2	55	She saw Kuurus go to the tables and sit cross-legged behind one, a table against the wall on her left, that there might be no tables behind him, but only the wall.	10
2	57	Kuurus had placed his spear against the wall behind him, and he had taken from his left shoulder his shield, his helmet and the sheathed short sword, which blade he had placed at his right hand on the low table.	10
2	111	Indeed, some, particularly those of low caste, even have use names, concealing their true names, lest they be discovered by enemies and used to conjure spells against them.	10
2	115	The crowd in the tavern reacted with amusement as the small, animal-like body was buffeted and thrown about, sometimes flung against the wall or on the tables.	10
2	178	Kazrak, who had been Administrator of the City for several years, had finally been deposed, largely due to the agitations of certain factions among the Initiates and Merchants, who had had their various grievances against the Administrator.	10
2	181	After the murder of Om, who had been on tolerable terms with the Administrator, the new High Initiate, Complicius Serenus, in studying the omens of the white bosk slain at the Harvest Feast had, to his apparent horror, discovered that they had stood against Kazrak.	10
3	124	It seemed reasonably clear to me, at that point, that the Player had made a presumably weaker move in order to prejudice the game against himself, a move which could be defended, however, on the grounds that certain authorities favored it.	10
3	203	"Aii!" I cried, though the outburst was scarcely in keeping with the somber black I wore, and an instant later the Tarn Keeper and the Saddle Maker cried out, and began to stamp their feet in the dust, and pound their fists against their left shoulders.	10
4	36	In the House of Cernus, after the sheet, bracelets, leash and collar had been removed, agents of the House of Cernus had checked her fingerprints against those on the papers.	10

5	37	Further I was confident that the lock would be placed, for Cernus would insist, by one of his own smiths, and thus that the nature of the lock would be known to him and that a duplicate of its key, in spite of the injunction against such, would doubtless be his.	10
5	44	There were also some cabinets against one wall, filled with plate and cups, some bottles of paga and Ka-la-na.	10
5	140	Most girls, it might be mentioned, even extremely choice specimens, are never in the booths; generally the slaver has a chance at a higher price when there are many buyers bidding against one another in the heat of an auction.	10
5	164	Bracing himself against the wind, the antennae struggling to retain their focus on me, he took one delicate step toward me across the metal surface of the disk.	10
5	179	The antennae trembled against my hands.	10
5	350	"He commonly has an inhibition against killing," said Misk, "and moreover he has, infrequently it may be, the capacities for loyalty and community and love".	10
5	412	"If they manage, in time, to turn a sufficient number of men against us and to arm them even primitively, our world is lost".	10
6	1	I Sit Table with Cernus I observed the two men, collared slaves, squaring off against one another in the sand.	10
7	180	She is truly slave, and is likely to remain so, unless, as happens upon occasion, she so pleases a master that he, perhaps against his better judgment, consents to free her.	10
8	41	She squared off against me, hitching up the loop on her left shoulder which I had loosened with my teeth.	10
9	49	One of them held the sheet up inspecting it, and I saw that it was a bill, which might be pasted against the wall of a public building, or on the public boards near the markets.	10
11	40	Against the far wall there were thirty kennels, five rows of six each, tiered, with iron runways and iron stairs giving access to them.	10
11	45	Against one wall I noted a variety of slave whips, of different weights and leathers.	10
11	136	When Ho-Tu held his torch to the third cell from the end, above that of the girl below, the Italian, the girl inside cried out and scrambled to the back of the cage, weeping, pressing herself against the cement, scratching at it.	10

11	333	A tear coursed down her right cheek, running against the bar.	10
11	351	Flaminius then locked one on the girl's right wrist and then, her arms through the bars, bent her arms back, put the other bracelet around one of the bars in the gate, above the horizontal bar at the top of the gate, and, on the outside of the gate, about her other wrist, the left, snapped shut the ...	10
11	360	The girl cried out in misery, pressing her head against the bars.	10
11	367	"Will you train?" asked Flaminius of the girl Phyllis, braceleted against the bars.	10
11	403	Phyllis, on her knees, her wrists braceleted outside the cage, held pressed against the bars, looked at us and then turned her face away.	10
12	4	The other bird, which had buffeted it against the edge of the ring, spun awkwardly through, turned in the air, and under the savage command of its control straps, and responding to a yellow flash of the tarn goad, regained its control and sped toward the next ring.	10
12	305	Awkwardly, painfully, they did so, stumbling to the edge of the room, then leaning against the wall, taking a step at a time.	10
13	120	I had heard the Pool of the Tropics was an excellent pool in the Capacian; and also the Pool of Ar's Glories, and the Pool of the Northern Forests; there was even, of recent date, a Pool of the Splendor of the Hinrabians; I myself, however, with one arm about Nela, who nestled against me, felt conte...	10

13	306	The first time I attempted to use the harness, though I was aware of the danger, I overdrew the strap and the suddenness of the bird as it veered in flight threw me against the two narrow safety straps; the small, broad, rapid-beating wings of the racing tarn permit shifts and turns that would be im...	10
13	321	Mip on his tarn, Green Ubar, seemed a swift, dark movement against the white sand and tiers, the shadow coursing behind them, seeming to break geometrically over the tiers.	10
14	96	I took her gently in my arms and kissed her, and she put her head against my left shoulder.	10
15	92	The crowd is fond of seeing various types of weapons used against others, and styles of fighting.	10
15	133	The training room was floored with wood, laid diagonally across beams for additional strength; one twelve-foot area of the room was a shallow pit of sand; against one wall were various chests of raiment, cosmetics and retention devices, for girls must be trained to wear chains gracefully; certain da...	10

15	339	But I think I preferred the tenth, that with the girl's back against the side of the door, the palms of her hands on the jamb, her head up, lips slightly parted, eyes to the right, smoldering at just the right temperature.	10
16	8	I do not suppose the Hinrabian Administrator much cared to approve this raising of caste in the case of Cernus, but he lacked the courage to go against the wishes of the Taurentians, and of the city generally.	10
16	214	This fee, incidentally, can be levied even against older factions if their last season is a very poor one; moreover, a number of substandard seasons, even for an established faction, will result in the loss, permanently or for a ten-year period, of their rights on the track.	10
16	215	Further, the appearance of new factions is a threat to the older factions, for each win of the new counts as a loss against the old.	10
16	255	The vast, long black wings, broad and mighty, opened and struck against the air, hurling a storm of dust and sand on all sides, almost tumbling the small, hooded Tarn Keeper from the low wagon.	10
16	269	The tarn, that predator, gently lowered its head, and I put my head against its head, below its round, gleaming right eye, and, within the leather hood, unseen, I wept.	10
17	47	Against one wall there were two men, bound hand and foot.	10
