Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	7	You may remark my first name, and I assure you that it gave me quite as much trouble as it might you, particularly during my early school years, when it occasioned almost as many contests of physical skill as my red hair.	10
1	88	It was almost as if the glow had been connected with the intent of the sender, as if the glow, no longer needed, had been allowed to fade.	10
1	116	Almost as if dreaming, yet with vivid clarity, I inched partly out of my sleeping bag.	10
1	122	The apparently seamless envelope crackled open, almost with the sound of cellophane.	10
2	35	I leaped to the top of the table almost as I would have climbed a stair in the alumni house.	10
2	110	After the meal I tasted the drink, which might not inappropriately be described as an almost incandescent wine, bright, dry, and powerful.	10
2	231	Perhaps it had once been a satellite of Alpha Centauri, but, even so, the distances still seemed almost unimaginable.	10
3	128	In the long ages on Gor almost all traces of Earth origin had vanished.	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	181	Eventually, perhaps more to my surprise than that of the Older Tarl, my performance became almost creditable.	10
3	203	The Older Tarl, my redoubtable instructor in arms, did not care for them, regarding them as secondary weapons almost unworthy for the hand of a warrior.	10
3	280	Almost immediately from somewhere, perhaps from a ledge out of sight, rose a fantastic object, another giant tarn, even larger than the first, a glossy sable tarn which circled the cylinder once and then wheeled toward me, landing a few feet away, his talons striking on the roof with a sound like hu...	10
4	10	The giant bird seemed almost to shudder in the air, and then he reeled, losing altitude, gaining it again.	10
4	37	The hills and plains of Gor were a blaze of colors far below me, and it may have been my imagination, but it seemed almost as if I could see the curve of the world.	10
4	93	There were shouts, and, rushing to the window, I saw several answering bolts leave the cylinder and fly in the direction of the retreating assailant, who was now almost half a pasang away and making good his escape.	10
4	118	The Older Tarl and I may have drunk too much of that fermented brew concocted with fiendish skill from the yellow grain, Sa-Tarna, and called Pagar-Sa-Tarna, Pleasure of the Life-Daughter, but almost always "paga" for short.	10
4	147	I had noted that those blue Viking eyes showed almost no evidence of the previous night.	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	145	Ar had, for most practical purposes, surrounded itself with an invisible wall, a bleached region, forbidding and almost impassable to those on foot.	10
5	155	Almost simultaneously I heard the raucous cry of a patrol leader of Ar, "We have him!" They had followed my tarn, trailing it back from its feeding in the swamp forest, and now, like the points of a rapidly converging triangle, three warriors of Ar were closing in on me.	10
5	158	He surely would have struck home had not my tarn veered wildly to the left, almost colliding with another tarn and its rider, who fired a bolt that sank deep in the saddle pack with a sound like slapping leather.	10
6	135	Almost too rapid to be visible, a long brown lash of a tongue darted from its mouth and curled around the slender, helpless figure of the girl.	10
6	143	Almost immediately its eyes fixed on me; its mouth, now filled with a colorless scum, opened, revealing its teeth ridges.	10
6	164	Now, in a matter of minutes, the skeleton was visible, picked almost clean, the bones gleaming except where small lizards skittered about on them, seeking a last particle of flesh.	10
6	177	Many of the free women of Gor and almost always those of High Caste wear the Robes of Concealment, though, of course, their garments are seldom as complex or splendidly wrought as those of a Ubar's daughter.	10
9	9	Somehow her happiness was contagious, and, almost as though we were not mortal enemies, we talked to one another and joked as we made our way across the plains.	10
9	15	Moreover, owing to the almost universal hatred borne to the city of Ar by most Gorean cities, it would be imperative in any case to keep the identity of my fair companion a secret.	10
9	54	The name of the disease itself, Dar-Kosis, is almost never mentioned.	10
12	81	Perhaps it was my wild, almost demented laughter that attracted the tarn.	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	95	The flight of the tarn was serene, and I, grateful to be free at last of the painful Frame of Humiliation, found myself, strangely enough, almost reconciled to the savage but swift fate I knew awaited me.	10
12	96	But suddenly the flight of the tarn became much more rapid and then in another minute almost erratic and frenzied.	10
12	124	I examined the ledge for some means of escape, but the cliffs above and below were almost smooth.	10
12	169	Almost as an afterthought I had included the Home Stone of Ar, that simple, uncomely piece of rock that had so transformed my destiny and that of an empire.	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	25	The light of the three moons was bright that night, and in the resultant exotic patchwork of shadows below, I caught sight of one of the larls, padding softly along, its body almost white in the moonlight.	10
13	33	It then began to move forward, swiftly but stealthily, its shoulders hunched forward, its hind quarters almost touching the ground.	10
13	117	Almost instantly the whistle had been answered by other whistles, responding from a dozen places in the nearby mountains.	10
14	8	Before me, on a rough throne of piled rocks, sat Marlenus, his long hair over his shoulders, his great beard reaching almost to his sword belt.	10
14	87	Some five or six tarnsmen ran toward the wide opening of the shallow cave, but I rushed forward, holding the lance parallel to my body, striking them with almost superhuman strength and forcing them over the ledge near the mouth of the cave.	10
15	4	Across the city, from the walls to the cylinders and among the cylinders, I could occasionally see the slight flash of sunlight on the swaying tarn wires, literally hundreds of thousands of slender, almost invisible wires stretched in a protective net across the city.	10
15	5	Dropping the tarn through such a maze of wire would be an almost impossible task.	10
15	114	Hitherto I had worn the ring almost arrogantly, but now it seemed to me that discretion, to alter a saying, was the better part of pride.	10
15	148	"An absorbing game," said Marlenus, almost absent-mindedly.	10
15	204	"A Ubar," he cried, "answers such a question only with his sword!" My weapon, too, had flashed from its sheath almost simultaneously.	10
16	8	For the time being, however, Kazrak's counsels of patience won me over, convincing me that any precipitous action would be almost surely doomed to failure.	10
16	19	The human resources on which Pa-Kur could draw seemed inexhaustible, and, as important, he had at his command a considerable force of tharlarion cavalry, an arm almost lacking to the men of Ar.	10
16	144	Yet I approached slowly, almost cautiously.	10
18	88	Nothing was revealed to my eyes or to my touch, but there was the almost imperceptible odor of tarn spoor.	10
18	108	The first time I hauled on the one-strap, the bird would not move; the second time he lifted into flight, almost immediately scraping the ceiling of the tunnel with his wings, protesting shrilly.	10
18	126	Fortunately, almost at the foot of the stairs lay one of the gates of the tarn cot.	10
19	49	Now, helpless, Talena lay almost within the wing span of my tarn, so near to me and yet a world away.	10
19	51	I turned to face him, and the fury of what he meant to me ripped through my body, surging like a volcano, almost dominating me.	10
19	73	Almost as if by magic, the men of Ar had separated themselves from the others on the cylinder.	10
19	88	The spiritual power of the Supreme Initiate was almost sensible in the air.	10
19	97	I knew almost nothing of the fabled Priest-Kings, but I did know that something of the sort must exist, for I had been brought to Gor by an advanced technology, and I knew that some force or power lay in the mysterious Sardar Mountains.	10
19	113	Not even a scream came from that fierce blue combustive mass that had been a human being, and in a minute the flame had departed, almost as quickly as it had come, and a dust of ashes scattered from the top of the cylinder in the wind.	10
19	127	We met almost over the body of Talena, the tips of our blades touching alertly, once, twice, each sounding the other out.	10
19	130	He then began testing elsewhere, methodically, using his sword almost as a physician might use a stethoscope, applying it first to one area and then to another.	10
19	132	Pa-Kur slid the blow lightly to one side, almost casually.	10
19	133	While we touched blades almost as if involved in some bizarre ritualistic dance, there was the ringing, the clanging of fiercer swordplay around us, as the men of Pa-Kur engaged the men of Ar.	10

Book 2. (73 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
14	199	Its talons, shod with steel, dropped like great hooks; it seemed to tremble almost motionless in the air; and then its wings, parallel, lifted, almost enfolding me, and were still.	10
25	89	I heard his terrified command, the feeble cracking of that whip held in an arm almost paralyzed with fear, his abrupt almost noiseless scream.	10
1	34	How had he lived for those months, where had he been, what had he done? It was almost seven years after I had known Tarl Cabot at the college when I saw him on the streets of Manhattan.	10
1	39	What happened next seemed almost too unbelievable to comprehend.	10
1	102	He seemed tall, strange, almost of another world in that subdued light, in that quiet atmosphere of small, genial civilized noises.	10
1	149	Then I noticed his ring, almost for the first time, though I had seen it a thousand times.	10
2	41	For them a city is almost a living thing, or more than a living thing.	10
2	51	It is almost as if the city itself were identified with the Home Stone, as if it were to the city what life is to a man.	10
2	72	Indeed, the birds are conditioned to respond to the goad, almost from the egg.	10
3	20	It is at night that the sleen hunts, that six-legged, long-bodied mammalian carnivore, almost as much a snake as an animal.	10
3	42	His eyes were almost covered with a white, shaggy, inverted bowl of hair, matted with twigs and leaves.	10
3	50	Its wide, narrow eyes, pale like water, regarded me through the brush of hair that almost concealed them.	10
3	54	"Tal," he said, his voice thick, almost less than human.	10
3	103	The squat, misformed giant of a man seemed almost to recoil as if struck, and to tremble.	10
3	112	He fell almost on top of the ax which lay on the road.	10
4	26	I froze, an almost animal response.	10
4	83	My arm had almost rammed itself down the throat of the animal following the spear I had flung into its mouth.	10
5	77	One hand stretched out to me, and the words, his own, far from the ringing authority of his former tones, were hoarse and almost inaudible.	10
6	8	And I speculate that the fairs likewise do their bit toward stabilizing the dialects of Gor, which might otherwise in a few generations have diverged to the point of being mutually unintelligible—for the Goreans do have this in common, their mother tongue in all its hundred permutations, whic...	10
6	13	The tharlarions become unmanageable, and, though the tarn will essay the flight, the bird almost immediately becomes disoriented, uncoordinated, and drops screaming back to the plains below.	10
6	19	Indeed, the peasant and outlaw on Gor live in an almost unspoken agreement, the peasant tending to protect the outlaw and the outlaw sharing in return some of his plunder and booty with the peasant.	10
6	87	Though she is clad only in the almost transparent scarlet dancing silks of Gor, her back is straight, her head high.	10
6	113	She will almost never encounter sadism or wanton cruelty, for the psychological environment that tends to breed these diseases is largely absent from Gor.	10
6	198	I admired the simple maneuver, executed without command, almost a matter of reflex, and sensed why Tharna, in spite of being ruled by a woman, had survived among the hostile cities of Gor.	10
7	30	He was not bearded, save for the trace of a tiny wisp of hair that marked each side of his chin, almost like a streak of dirt.	10
7	112	The girl almost swooned.	10
8	123	The light drizzle of rain, almost a gray mist matching the miserable solemnity of Tharna, had not abated, and had, by now, soaked through my garments.	10
9	18	The slight, gray-robed figure, almost as insubstantial as the mist itself, appeared ready to leave, but suddenly hesitated.	10
9	67	Kal-da is a hot drink, almost scalding, made of diluted Ka-la-na wine, mixed with citrus juices and stinging spices.	10
9	108	It almost burned my hands to lift the pot.	10
10	47	Ost's body struck mine almost at the same time.	10
11	13	I staggered on, smarting from the whip wounds, almost crushed by the burden of the yoke.	10
11	56	It was almost as if she challenged her Tatrix, and I wondered if Dorna the Proud was content to be Second in Tharna.	10
12	21	I turned, the momentum of the yoke almost carrying me into the wall.	10
13	65	The hand of the Tatrix lifted slightly, almost languorously, from the arm of her throne, and the race began.	10
13	94	The yellow, short-cropped head glared at me, almost without comprehension.	10
13	112	I fell on my knees almost instantly, and the charging horns of Kron passed over me.	10
14	27	No sooner had I reached the center than one of the sections of the wall rolled back, revealing a portal almost as high as the wall and perhaps thirty feet in width.	10
14	54	It was perhaps the foolish affection which a tarnsman feels for these dangerous, fierce mounts, almost as much a threat to him as to anyone else.	10
14	55	Yet it was perhaps more, for as I stood by the bird, I felt almost as though I had come home to Ko-ro-ba, as though I stood here now with something in this gray, hostile city that knew me and mine, that had looked upon the Towers of the Morning, and had spread its wings above the glistening cylinder...	10
14	63	Almost inaudibly it sucked in air through the slits in its beak.	10
14	190	The great sable tarn, upon hearing the cry of "Tabuk!", to my joy, began to describe its long, soaring hunting circles, almost as if it might have received its training yesterday.	10
15	51	In perhaps ten minutes the ridges were almost below us.	10
15	62	The bird seemed to hesitate, and then, with a motion almost tender, it thrust its beak against my body.	10
15	82	It was the answer I had expected, though undoubtedly her body was almost broken, her flesh bruised to the bone.	10
15	90	What more could I tell her? That it had not killed me, knowing the nature of tarns, seemed almost as incredible to me as it did to her.	10
16	4	It was not a bad place for the exchange of prisoners, and offered an almost ideal situation from the point of view of avoiding ambush.	10
17	101	But most managed to stand upright, catching their balance, and, almost as one man, that wretched degraded huddle of slaves turned its frightened, empty eyes upon me.	10
20	8	Almost all of them had been broken into by the slaves, and whatever they held had been taken or scattered.	10
20	10	In the office of the Administrator of the Mines, he who once had given the command, "Drown them all," I found a stripped body, slashed almost beyond recognition.	10
20	78	The mountains of the Sardar were not such a vast, magnificent range as the rugged scarlet crags of the Voltai, that almost impenetrable mountain vastness in which I had once been the prisoner of the outlaw Ubar, Marlenus of Ar, ambitious and warlike father of the fierce and beautiful Talena, she who...	10
20	92	What of the interminable prayers of the Initiates, the sacrifices, the observances, the rituals, the innumerable shrines, altars and temples to the Priest-Kings? Could it be that the smoke of the burning sacrifices, the fragrance of the incense, the mumblings of the Initiates, their prostrations and...	10
20	101	The bird regained his strength and senses, except for the fact that it remained agitated, almost unmanageable.	10
21	42	On the other hand, the professional slaver, as a business practice, almost always brands his chattels, and it is seldom that an unbranded girl ascends the block.	10
21	85	I almost did not notice the chain that lay hidden in the grass.	10
21	227	Many of them were beauties, and I thought that the chain, though small, was a rich one, and that almost any man might find thereon a woman to his taste.	10
21	259	Almost as an afterthought, he plucked the helmet from my grasp.	10
21	260	Both he and I knew it was almost worthless.	10
22	37	Almost imperceptibly she bit it to control its movement, lest I should see.	10
22	89	"You returned me to Tharna," she said, almost as if making an accusation.	10
22	139	Her head fell and her voice became almost inaudible.	10
23	88	Yet its touch was almost tender.	10
23	98	The army of Tharna had struck here and there, at reported hiding places of slaves, but almost invariably they had found nothing.	10
23	101	The sorties of tarnsmen were more successful, but on the whole the slave bands, now almost regiments, moved only at night and concealed themselves during the day.	10
23	102	In time it became dangerous for the small cavalries of Tharna to assault them, to brave the storm of missile weapons which would seem to rise almost from the very ground itself.	10
23	222	I was carried through the streets and others of the rebels, appearing from doorways and windows, almost from the very stones of the street, joined what turned into a procession of triumph.	10
23	233	Beside him, to my joy, I saw the impudent features of Andreas, that sweep of black hair almost obliterating his forehead.	10
24	19	Almost as one they cried out, "Tal, Warrior!" "Tal, Warriors!" I responded, raising my arm, addressing them all by the title of my caste, for I knew that in their common cause each was a warrior.	10
24	254	I could hear nothing but the quiet, almost noiseless sound of my own sandals on the stones of the corridor.	10
25	11	Seemingly almost impassive, the golden-robed figure on the throne watched the two warriors moving backward and forward before her, one clad in the blue helmet and gray tunic of Tharna, the other in the universal scarlet of the Gorean Caste of Warriors.	10
25	70	Its ratlike scamper was incomprehensibly swift and almost before I could set myself for its charge it had crossed the cylinder roof in two or three bounds and pounced to seize me in its bared fangs.	10
25	90	The urt was over him, its haunches high, its shoulders almost level with the roof, gnawing.	10
26	30	The men of Tharna watched almost in disbelief as the great mask loosened, bolt by bolt, from the wall, leaned forward and at last, dragged down by its own weight, broke loose and plunged clattering down the steps of the throne, breaking into a hundred pieces.	10

Book 3. (107 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
10	43	It moved with a certain deliberate, stalking movement; its tread was regal and yet it seemed almost dainty, almost fastidious; it was almost as if the creature did not care to soil itself by contact with the floor of the passage.	10
24	7	Most strangely perhaps were several long, golden strands, almost a mane, which extended from the creature's head over its domed, golden back and fell almost to the floor behind it.	10
30	72	The exudate which forms on the mane hairs of the Golden Beetle, which had overcome me in the close confines of the tunnel, apparently has a most intense and, to a human mind, almost incomprehensibly compelling effect on the unusually sensitive antennae of Priest-Kings, luring them helplessly, almost...	10
32	197	With uncanny speed it seemed we almost floated to a tunnel entrance and I looked behind us and saw the ceiling descending with incredible softness, almost like a snowfall of stones.	10
1	35	I wished that I had had longer to visit the fair, for on another occasion at another time I should have sought eagerly to examine its wares, drink at its taverns, talk with its merchants and attend its contests, for these fairs are free ground for the many competitive, hostile Gorean cities, and pro...	10
2	118	The larl's skull is an even more difficult cast, for its head is almost continually in motion.	10
2	124	I might kill one larl, but then I should almost certainly die under the jaws of its mate.	10
4	3	My host did not speak but led the way with a merry stride, an almost constant curl of smoke from his little round pipe encircling his bald pate and muttonchop whiskers and drifting back down the passage.	10
5	282	Almost instantly, reddening, Vika regained her composure and straightened herself, tossing her head and brushing back a melody of blond hair which had fallen across her forehead.	10
6	68	I had almost finished the meal.	10
7	3	She followed me almost to the portal, and I can remember how the sensors set in that great threshold in the dimmed light of the energy bulbs began to glow and pulse as she neared them.	10
7	18	Almost all of the chambers I passed, and I passed many, seemed to be empty.	10
7	86	My decision was motivated in part by the fact that the hall allowed few concealments for ambush and I would presumably see my pursuer almost as soon as he saw me.	10
8	44	Perhaps one of the almost inexhaustible energy bulbs, which can burn for years, had as a simple matter of fact at last burned out.	10
8	143	Perhaps Treve has never attacked Thentis because she, too, is a mountain city, lying in the Mountains of Thentis, or more likely because the men of Treve respect her tarnsmen almost as much as they do their own.	10
9	244	Almost simultaneously a mechanically reproduced voice began to emanate from the translator.	10
10	44	It walked on four extremely long, slender, four-jointed stalks that were its supporting legs, and carried its far more muscular, four-jointed grasping legs, or appendages, extremely high, almost level with its jaw, and in front of its body.	10
10	96	Then the Priest-King ceased to rock and its antennae uncurled, almost reluctantly I thought, and it once again rested quietly back on its posterior appendages and regarded me.	10
11	26	They stalked about one another and some of their motions were almost whiplike.	10
11	79	At any rate Sarm leaped backward on his jointed, stalklike legs with almost incredible speed.	10
11	80	He now stood almost forty feet from me.	10
11	92	Usually the breathing cycle, unless one is quite close and listens carefully, cannot be heard, but in the present case I could hear quite clearly from a distance of several feet the quick intake of air through the eight tiny, tubular mouths in Sarm's abdomen, and its almost immediate expellation thr...	10
11	93	Now the muscular contractions in Sarm's abdomen became almost unnoticeable and I could no longer hear the evidence of his respiratory cycle.	10
12	190	They seemed to know almost nothing.	10
12	210	He lifted his foreleg with a gentle, permissive gesture, almost a benediction.	10
14	70	* * * * It is not hard to get used to Mul-Fungus, for it has almost no taste, being an extremely bland, pale, whitish, fibrous vegetablelike matter.	10
14	156	I would learn later, however, that this simple fact was indeed almost incomprehensible to Priest-Kings, and that Misk, though he readily accepted it as a fact in his mind, could not bring himself, so to speak, in the furthest reaches of his heart to acknowledge it as true, for were not both he and S...	10
14	166	He laid his antennae gently on my shoulders, almost as though a man might have put his hands on them.	10
15	26	With extreme gentleness, almost tenderness, the Priest-King touched the palms of my hands with his antennae.	10
15	97	I watched the tiny flashes of light, the rapid, efficient placement of the disks and their almost immediate withdrawal.	10
17	43	The antennae quivered briefly in anger and the bladelike structures at the tips of Sarm's forelegs snapped out and back, but then the antennae relaxed and once again the four hooklike grasping appendages at the termination of each foreleg lightly, almost meditatively, touched one another.	10
17	53	I stayed a long time in the washing-booth and when I came out and donned my plastic tunic it took quite some time to make the Mul-Fungus Porridge of just the consistency at which I preferred it, and then, since I had finally managed to make it the way in which it was least unpalatable, I took some t...	10
17	89	It was an exceedingly long chamber and built on four levels, almost like steps.	10
17	134	When it was almost there the man stood up and holding the pipe in both hands trained it at a nearby rock.	10
18	96	I noticed an involuntary, almost spasmlike twitch of the tips of the forelegs, but the bladed projections did not emerge.	10
19	95	He lifted his long, bladelike body almost to the vertical.	10
20	102	On the latter object he pressed a switch and almost immediately, before I became aware of it, the upraised portion turned white with heat.	10
21	18	Almost instantly I recognized the familiar odor.	10
21	38	It was a sad song, mournful and slow, almost a dirgelike chant.	10
21	42	The refrain, almost constantly repeated, was something to the effect that We Have Come for Gur, On the Feast of Tola We Have Come for Gur, We Rejoice For on the Feast of Tola We Have Come for Gur.	10
21	53	I could now see the Priest-Kings clearly where they clung upside down to the ceiling, their great swollen abdomens almost dwarfing their thoraxes and heads.	10
21	54	Then to my amazement, one by one, the strange creatures, disdaining the bars near the door began simply to pad up the almost vertical walls to the Priest-Kings and then, astonishingly, began to walk upside down on the ceiling.	10
21	58	There seemed to be almost an indefinite number of the Muls and of clinging Priest-Kings there were perhaps a hundred.	10
22	11	My mouth seemed to be filled with carbon and I realized I must have almost bitten through the Mul-Torch.	10
22	16	I swung forward and back on the bar and felt it loosen almost entirely in the ceiling but on the next forward swing I released it and seized the next bar.	10
22	20	The two fallen bars lay almost at their feet.	10
22	77	Then, almost tenderly, Misk reached out with one foreleg and gathered me from the bar on which I stood.	10
22	91	Misk drew himself up to his proud, almost eighteen feet of height, save that he inclined slightly forward from the vertical, and fixed on us with his antennae what I had come to recognize in the last few weeks as a look of rather patient, gentle reproach.	10
23	19	I found myself almost hoping that she had not, for it would have been more than enough to have heard it following in the tunnels.	10
23	45	As I did so I seemed almost to hear a silent, horrible, pleading shriek but there was of course no sound.	10
24	45	About an Ehn after I had turned and began to move away from the cavern, Vika on my shoulder, I heard from the cavern one of the strangest and most horrifying sounds I had ever heard in my life, a long, weird, frantic, enraged rush of sound, more than a rush of air, more than a wild hiss, almost a cr...	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
25	25	Its tiny mouth on the underside of its body touched the stone flooring here and there like the poking finger of a blind man and the long, whitish, rubbery body gathered itself and pushed forward and gathered itself and pushed forward again until it lay but a yard from my sandal, almost under the she...	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
26	20	For a moment I almost yielded, but I steeled myself against her trickery and continued my work.	10
26	24	I was rather pleased with the discovery of the network of ventilator shafts, for it suggested to me almost a private and extensive highway to any place in the Nest I might wish to reach.	10
26	144	"I understand now," she said, almost weeping with relief, "but you frightened me so".	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
26	296	Her performance had been superb, almost convincing.	10
26	297	She had almost led me to believe she cared.	10
27	3	It was almost eight Gorean Ahn, or about ten Earth hours, since I had separated from Misk and Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta early this morning.	10
27	44	I could see the lenses of the compound eyes almost flickering as it strained to see, much as we might have strained to hear some small sound.	10
27	45	His reactions were almost those that a human might have had if he could hear something in the room with him but had not yet been able to see it.	10
27	57	"Thank you, Noble One!" I cried and turned the transportation disk almost as if it had a vertical central axis and sped off.	10
27	64	From one of these openings I could see that I was already behind the steel barricade with its Priest-King guard, who was standing as I would have expected, in that almost vertical, slender, golden fixity that was so characteristic of his kind.	10
27	68	There were perhaps a thousand Priest-Kings in the Nest, and I supposed that this might be almost all the Priest-Kings in the Nest, save perhaps those that might be essentially placed at a few minimum posts, such as the guard at the steel barricade and perhaps some in the Scanning Chamber or, more li...	10
27	74	The antennae of the thousand Priest-Kings seemed almost motionless so intent were they on the beauties of the music.	10
27	97	He took no more than a taste and the bowl, though the Feast of Tola was well advanced, was still almost brimming.	10
27	109	I was already familiar with the astounding patience of Priest-Kings and so I was not surprised at the almost total lack of movement in the lines of that golden pattern, formed of Priest-Kings, which radiated out from the Platform of the Mother.	10
27	110	But I now understood as I observed the slight, almost enraptured tremor of their antennae responding to the scent-music of the musicians that this was not a simple demonstration of their patience but a time of exaltation for them, of gathering, of bringing the Nest together, of reminding them of the...	10
27	114	But on the platform before which these golden creatures stood there lay the Mother, perhaps blind, almost insensate, the large, feeble thing they revered, weak, brownish, withered, the huge worn body at last wrinkled and empty.	10
27	118	Then almost at the same time I saw Sarm and Misk together.	10
27	137	His antennae seemed to move almost randomly.	10
27	148	Almost at the same time the bladelike projections on their forelegs snapped into view.	10
27	155	Again Sarm charged and again I saw a long greenish-wet opening appear as if by magic on the side of Misk's huge golden head, and again Sarm, whose speed was almost unbelievable, leaped away before Misk could touch him and was again circling and watching.	10
27	194	Horror coursed through the ranks of the assembled Priest-Kings and their antennae waved wildly and their golden frames shook with rage, and hundreds of them must have simultaneously turned on their translators for I heard almost immediately from everywhere before me the contrastingly calm translatio...	10
27	196	I almost had to smile in spite of myself for the unmoved, unemotional emissions of the translators seemed so much at odds with the visible agitation of the Priest-Kings and the dire import of their messages.	10
27	255	Suddenly with a vicious, almost incalculable speed Sarm's right bladed projection flashed toward my head.	10
28	30	A thin voice yet strong, almost like that of something that was at once an old man and a child, rang out above me.	10
28	171	Our intelligence was vastly superior to theirs and the networks of ventilation shafts provided the quick nimble men of the Fungus Chambers and the uncanny Gur Carriers access to almost anywhere in the Nest they cared to go.	10
28	175	Originally some of them had objected to this but after a few had almost stepped on the silent Gur Carriers, or wandered unbeknownst beneath them, some of the spidery humanoids being armed perhaps with silver tubes, their opinions changed and they became zealous to have the letter painted boldly and ...	10
29	56	While they seemed to hang undecided in space, almost like puzzled cells in a droplet of water, I dove again, and the third ship broke apart as though it were a toy beneath a falling cutlass of fire, and I climbed once more, the flame of the silver tube stabbing ahead of me, hitting the fourth ship a...	10
29	58	This time, should I dive again, I knew it would be impossible to conceal my position from them, for they would then know I was below them and at least one of the ships would be almost certain to cover me with its weapon.	10
29	74	My heart leaped! Ground fire! I could imagine Misk hastening to his tools and the vast assemblage of instrumentation in his shop, or perhaps sending an outraged Priest-King to some secret arsenal where lay a forbidden weapon, one to which Misk would never have had recourse were it not for the hideou...	10
29	81	Just as the three ships burst into the open of another huge complex I caught up with them and opened fire on the third ship but my fire seemed less effective this time and though I gave it a full burst the charging of the tube seemed at last almost exhausted.	10
29	93	It tumbled away like a balloon and exploded in the air as I dropped my ship almost to the ground.	10
29	103	The wind whistled past and I was almost pulled from the controls of the ship.	10
29	106	I could not believe what I saw but there was no mistaking the elevation of the disrupter cone, the calm, almost unhurried manner in which the other ship was drawing a bead on its fellow.	10
29	122	The tube was almost drained of power but the point-blank range and the intensity of even the diminished beam melted the hinges from the hatch.	10
30	81	The Golden Beetles, free within the Nest, forced Sarm, in sheer regard for survival, to turn to humans for help, for humans, particularly in the well-ventilated areas of the Nest, are relatively impervious to the narcotic odor of the Beetle's mane, an odor which is apparently almost utterly overpowe...	10
30	109	Vika threw him a glance of impatience, almost of contempt, and shrugged.	10
30	189	Indeed, at that time, it seemed they had, almost unaccountably, for reasons of principle, joined a cause which was in all probability a lost one.	10
31	128	Then he fired a burst directly down into the power source and it began to rumble and throw geysers of purple fire up almost to the hole which Sarm had burned in the globe.	10
31	213	Then to my amazement when the Beetle neared Sarm the Priest-King sank down on his supporting appendages, almost as if he were on his knees, and suddenly plunged his face and antennae into the midst of the waving mane hair of the Golden Beetle.	10
32	130	A huge boulder fell from the roof and bounded, almost like a giant rubber ball, past our group.	10
32	154	Almost simultaneously both Misk and Kusk lifted their antennae and shuddered.	10
32	223	A puff of smoke emerged from the pipe but instead of drifting up seemed instead almost immediately to pop apart.	10
32	238	In a bound, almost like a small balloon, he floated up, and twisting about, reseated himself in the throne.	10
32	239	He pounded on the arms once and the movement almost thrust him up off the throne.	10
32	294	Vika in my arms I followed the bounding body of Parp, whose robes seemed to lift and flutter softly about him as he almost floated down the tunnel before me.	10
33	2	It was a strange but rapid journey, and as we leaped chasms and seemed almost to swim in the cold air I told myself that Misk and his Priest-Kings and the humans that were engineers in the Nest were losing the battle that would decide whether men and Priest-Kings might, working together, save a worl...	10
33	12	I supposed there might have been men from almost all of Gor's cities in that frightened, teeming throng.	10
33	47	His eyes, I noted, in contrast with his bland features, his almost pudgy softness, were very sharp and shrewd.	10
33	72	He pointed to the smoke which was now rising in an almost natural pattern.	10
34	192	There were few, almost none on Gor, who would believe my story.	10
35	164	Abruptly I turned from Misk and rushed down the hill, almost blindly.	10
35	182	For a long time I, and the others, stood there in the windy night, almost knee-deep in the flowing, bending grass, and watched the knoll, and the stars behind it, and the white moons above.	10

Book 4. (81 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	68	On the saddle there also hung, on one side, a coiled rope of braided boskhide and, on the other, a long, three-weighted bola of the sort used in hunting tumits and men; in the saddle itself, on the right side, indicating the rider must be right-handed, were the seven sheaths for the almost legendary...	10
2	140	I saw the kaiila tense, almost like larls, their flanks quivering, their large eyes intent upon me.	10
2	147	Needless to say, they can be almost as swift and delicate in their address as a saber.	10
2	149	They may be bent almost double, like finely tempered steel, before they break.	10
2	167	On the face of each there were, almost like corded chevrons, brightly colored scars.	10
4	20	Warily now the animal began to circle, in an almost human fashion, watching the spear.	10
4	39	Thrown low the long straps, with their approximate ten-foot sweep, almost impossible to evade, strike the victim and the weighted balls, as soon as resistance is met, whip about the victim, tangling and tightening the straps.	10
4	46	The three weights at the end of the straps were now almost blurring in the air and he, his song ended, the reins in his left hand, quiva blade now clenched between his teeth, bola in his swinging, uplifted right arm, suddenly cried out and kicked the kaiila into its charge.	10
4	52	To the head came the flashing bola moving in its hideous, swift revolution almost invisible in the air and I, instead of lowering my head or throwing myself to the ground, met instead the flying weighted leather with the blade of a Koroban short sword, with the edge that would divide silk dropped up...	10
5	20	They are also used if a slave escapes, for the sleen is an efficient, tireless, savage, almost infallible hunter, capable of pursuing a scent, days old, for hundreds of pasangs until, perhaps a month later, it finds its victim and tears it to pieces.	10
5	55	Surprisingly the wagons are almost square, each the size of a large room.	10
5	58	The wagon box, which stands almost six feet from the ground, is formed of black, lacquered planks of tem-wood.	10
5	61	The rounded frame is fixed somewhat within the square of the wagon box, so that a walkway, almost like a ship's bridge, surrounds the frame.	10
7	58	She lifted her head and then said, almost inaudibly, trembling in the restraint of the Sirik, "La Kajira".	10
7	92	With him had been a tall, strange man, broad of shoulder with large hands, a grayish face, eyes almost like glass.	10
7	110	Elizabeth had looked, tears almost in her eyes, at the department head, but he seemed suddenly to her soft, pudgy, distant, sweating, nothing.	10
8	136	I was forced to admit that she was, on almost all counts, pretty much what Kamchak thought—a little barbarian.	10
8	223	In the crowd, on the back of a kaiila, I noted the girl Hereena, of the First Wagon, whom I had seen my first day in the camp of the Tuchuks, she who had almost ridden down Kamchak and myself between the wagons.	10
8	313	It would not reach its maximum rate of revolution until he was in full gallop, almost on the quarry.	10
8	321	Indeed she did, but in an instant I saw the leather flash of the bola, with its vicious, beautiful almost ten-foot sweep, streak toward the girl's ankles, and I saw her fall.	10
8	332	She closed her eyes, almost fainting with relief.	10
8	360	She had run in actual competition more than two hundred times; almost always she managed to interfere with and postpone her return to the circle; and forty times, an incredible feat, she had managed to reach the lance itself.	10
8	566	With almost scornful ease he raced past her lifting the tospit from her mouth with the tip of his lance.	10
8	591	I turned to see Elizabeth waver, and almost faint, but she did not do so.	10
9	11	I did not much care for the sweet, syrupy wines of Turia, flavored and sugared to the point where one could almost leave one's fingerprint on their surface.	10
9	177	I could sense that she had almost immediately seen myself and Kamchak, strangers at the tables.	10
10	230	I wheeled the kaiila, looking for Elizabeth Cardwell, who, afoot, would be slain almost before the tharlarion had crossed the lines of the stakes.	10
10	265	It might also be mentioned that the Turian warrior, in his opinion, too seldom encounters the warrior of the Wagon Peoples, who tends to be a frustrating, swift and elusive foe, striking with great rapidity and withdrawing with goods and captives almost before it is understood what has occurred.	10
10	450	The warrior of the Wagon Peoples does not use the short sword, probably because such a weapon could not be optimally used from the saddle of the kaiila; the saber, incidentally, which would be somewhat more effective from kaiilaback, is almost unknown on Gor; its role, I gather, is more than fulfill...	10
10	455	The important point, however, in the circumstances was that Kamras had proposed the sword as the weapon of his encounter with Kamchak, and poor Kamchak was almost certain to be as unfamiliar with the sword as you or I would be with any of the more unusual weapons of Gor, say, the whip knife of Port ...	10
10	566	For more than a minute, while I scarcely dared to breathe and there was silence all about save for the ring of steel, I watched Kamchak stand there, heavy in his boots, his head seeming almost to sit on his shoulders, his body hardly moving save for the swiftness of a wrist and the turn of a hand.	10
10	573	"Kill him!" But now, almost like a drunk man, Kamras was fighting for his life and the Tuchuk, like a bear, scarcely moving more than arm and wrist, followed him about, shuffling through the sand after him, touching him again and again with the blade.	10
10	582	Rather he threw the sword he carried into the sand and though he threw it easily it slipped through almost to the hilt.	10
12	92	The common tospit almost invariably has an odd number of seeds.	10
12	99	"Tospits almost always have an odd number of seeds," he said.	10
12	384	Almost without meaning to, I noticed, over to one side, a hooded member of the Clan of Torturers.	10
12	414	Then with a suddenness that almost made me jump and the crowd cry out with delight the music began again but this time as a barbaric cry of rebellion and rage and the wench from Port Kar was suddenly a chained she-larl biting and tearing at the chain and she had cast her black robes from her and sto...	10
12	421	Certain of these phases are very slow, in which there is almost no movement, save perhaps the turning of a head or the movement of a hand; others are defiant and swift; some are graceful and pleading; some stately, some simple; some proud, some piteous; but each time, as the common thread, she is dr...	10
13	3	Aphris, knowing the ways of Gor and the temper of Tuchuks, was terrified, and said almost nothing.	10
13	138	I had not mentioned the matter of the Paravaci quiva which had almost struck me last night, having been in the morning disturbed about the disappearance of Elizabeth Cardwell and in the afternoon busy following Kamchak about in his rounds.	10
15	7	Four times masses of tharlarion cavalry had charged forth from the city but each time the Hundreds withdrew before them until the charge had been enveloped in the swirling kaiila, and then its riders were brought down swiftly by the flashing arrows of the Tuchuks, riding in closely, almost to lance ...	10
16	12	The bath girls of Turia are almost as famous as those of Ar.	10
16	36	The foot knots were done with subsidiary rope but worked into the fiber of the main rope and glued over so as to be almost one with it.	10
16	148	I recalled that the Turians, because of the baths, are almost all swimmers.	10
16	315	The second objective, that of obtaining the egg for themselves, was already almost accomplished; Kutaituchik had been killed and it had been stolen from his wagon; there was left only to deliver it to the gray man, who would, in turn, deliver it to the Others—whoever or whatever they might be...	10
17	7	Besides the designs there were also, growing from planting areas recessed here and there in the marble walkway, broad-leafed, curling plants; vines; ferns; numerous exotic flowers; it was rather beautiful, but in an oppressive way, and the room had been heated to such an extent that it seemed almost...	10
17	21	Yet the motion had been odd for it was almost as if the pool had lifted itself, rippled, and then subsided.	10
17	29	Some of them are gigantic, almost impossible to kill, persistent, carnivorous.	10
17	86	It was almost as if it were lower in the center and the edges higher near the marble basin, inching as high as they could toward our sandals.	10
17	88	The pool was now, it seemed, literally coruscating, glistening with a brilliance of hues that was phenomenal, almost like hands lifting and spilling gems in sunlit water.	10
17	89	The filamentous strands seemed to go mad with movement and the spheres of various colors were almost phosphorescent, pulsating beneath the surface.	10
17	91	It was almost as though the pool itself respired.	10
17	103	The filamentous threads did not approach me, but now seemed quiet, almost as if content.	10
18	60	Beneath me, vaguely, several feet under the surface, I could see a collection, almost like threads and granules in a transparent bag, of intertwined, writhing filaments and spheres, imbedded in a darkish yellow jelly, walled in by a translucent membrane.	10
18	62	Almost instantly as I submerged the fluid beneath me began to jell, walling me away from the glowing mass at the bottom of the pool but, hand over hand, pulling at it and thrusting my way, I forced my way deeper and deeper into it.	10
18	69	Now below me the fluid began to gel swiftly almost like a rising floor and it loosened and withdrew on all sides and suddenly my head broke the surface and I breathed.	10
18	70	I now stood on the hardened surface of the Yellow Pool of Turia and saw the fluids of the sides seeping into the mass beneath me and hardening almost instantly.	10
18	71	I stood now on a warm, dry globular mass, almost like a huge, living shell.	10
18	76	One of the crossbowmen had leaped to the now dry floor of the marble basin and stood almost beneath me, his crossbow raised.	10
19	2	Indeed, coming down the segmented trunk of the flower tree, I almost landed on top of him.	10
19	37	Besides the trees there were numerous shrubs and plantings, almost all flowered, sometimes fantastically; among the trees and the colored grasses there wound curved, shaded walks.	10
19	47	"A wench!" I cried, almost a shout.	10
20	29	I myself was almost winded as well.	10
20	44	Almost immediately I heard a shout from the building.	10
21	64	To my chagrin I was not admitted into the compound, but my pitiful stock of almost worthless stones was examined outside the gate by a steward in the company of two armed warriors.	10
21	69	I had just picked up the last stone and tucked it back in my pouch and was about to rise from my knees when I found myself staring at the high, heavy sandals, almost boots, of a warrior.	10
21	158	I had, almost from the first in Kamchak's wagon, been truly fond of Dina, and I think she of me.	10
21	203	It was almost certain they would be flying within minutes after an alarm was sounded, even though they need be summoned from the baths, the paga taverns, the gaming rooms of Turia, in which of late, the siege over, they had been freely spending their mercenary gold, much to the delight of Turians.	10
21	314	Almost instantly there was a wild cry, the war cry of the Tuchuks, and the first five kaiila leaped from outside the gate onto the top of the wagon, finding firm footing on what I had taken to be simple rain canvas, but actually was canvas stretched over a load of rocks and earth, accounting for the...	10
22	5	Certain of the Hundreds, delegated the task, had immediately, almost before the alarm bars could sound, seized many of the wells, granaries and public buildings, including the very palace of Phanius Turmus itself.	10
22	6	The Ubar, and Kamras, his highest officer, had fallen captive almost immediately, each to a Hundred set that purpose.	10
22	66	Incidentally, Gorean coins are not made to be stacked and accordingly, because of the possible depth of the relief and the consequent liberties accorded to the artist, the Gorean coin is almost always more beautiful than the machine-milled, flat, uniform coins of Earth.	10
23	99	Harold and I determined to appear to meet the Paravaci in the open—before the wagons—and then, when they charged, to withdraw among the wagons, and close the wagons on their attacking front, halting the charge, then at almost point-blank range hopefully taking heavy toll of their force...	10
23	103	The brunt of the Paravaci charge almost tipped and broke through the wagons, but we had lashed them together and they held.	10
24	199	By the time I had turned my animal and was racing after him he was almost a quarter of a pasang down the street, bounding over beams and rubbish, and litter, some of it still smoking.	10
25	297	To almost anyone who would come upon her she might seem but a beautiful barbarian, fit presumably by birth and blood only for the collar of a master.	10
26	46	The men held their fire, and the tarn, almost at the center of the compound, as far from our encircling positions as possible, suddenly plummeted downward, its wings high, opening them only at the last minute to land on the top of the keep, beyond accurate crossbow range.	10
26	293	Kamchak bent to the figure and, opening his garments, tore from his neck the almost priceless collar of jewels which the man had worn.	10
26	366	We stood silently there for a time, until Kamchak saw small, white bones, like bleached driftwood, rocking on the sparkling, now watery surface, being moved bit by bit, almost as if by tides, to the edge of the pool, where I gathered attendants would normally collect and discard them.	10
26	522	"Almost nothing," muttered Kamchak, "for she is nearly worthless".	10
27	221	"This woman," said Kamchak of the Tuchuks, brusquely, his voice stern but almost breaking, "is called Aphris—know her—she is Ubara of the Tuchuks, she is Ubara Sana, of my heart Ubara Sana!" We let Kamchak and Aphris ride ahead, and followed them, by some hundred yards, toward the main...	10

5	15	In a girl's collar lock there would be either six pins or six disks, one each, it is said, for each letter in the Gorean word for female slave, Kajira; the male slave, or Kajirus, seldom has a locked collar; normally a band of iron is simply hammered about his neck; often he works in chains, usually...	10
1	12	The Assassin shifted a bit and turned his attention again to the valley, where the men below were almost ready.	10
1	35	There were three who stood near the pyre; one wore the brown robes of the Administrator of a City, the humblest robes in the city, and was hooded; another wore the blue of the Caste of Scribes, a small man, almost tiny, bent now with pain and grief; the last was a very large man, broad of back and s...	10
1	37	The wood leaped suddenly alive with a blaze that was almost a burst of fire and the three men staggered backward, their forearms thrown across their eyes.	10
2	101	Hup was indeed an ugly thing, for he was small, and yet thick, almost bulbous, and under the dirty tunic, perhaps that of the potters, there bulged the hump of some grotesque growth.	10
3	30	Almost all civilized Goreans, of whatever caste, play.	10
3	45	In spite of having the respect, even to some degree the adulation, of almost all Goreans, the Players lived poorly.	10
3	68	At any rate, disease is now almost unknown among the Gorean cities, with the exception of the dreaded Dar-Kosis disease, or the Holy Disease, research on which is generally frowned upon by the Caste of Initiates, who insist the disease is a visitation of the displeasure of Priest-Kings on its recipi...	10
3	74	On the other hand, the brilliance which men might have turned into destructive channels was then diverted, almost of necessity, to other fields, most notably medicine, though considerable achievements have been accomplished in the production of translation devices, illumination and architecture.	10
3	128	He was actually quite skilled, and would have played well among even gifted Goreans, to whom the game is almost second nature, but he was not of Player caliber, by far.	10
3	139	"Watch out there! He moved Second Spearman to Builder Four!" "I did not," cried the Vintner—almost a shriek.	10
4	147	I was amused, for she had run as a slave girl is sometimes taught to run, with rapid short steps, her legs almost straight, her feet scarcely leaving the ground, back straight, head turned to the left, arms at her sides, palms out at a forty-five degree angle, more of a dancer's motion than a true r...	10
4	207	"She is Red Silk but she knows almost nothing".	10
5	14	The small, heavy lock on a girl's slave collar, incidentally, may be of several varieties, but almost all are cylinder locks, either of the pin or disk variety.	10
5	28	Much more dangerous is the poison lock, because the opening through which the tiny pins, usually coated with a paste formed from kanda root, can emerge can be extremely small, almost invisible to the eye, easy to overlook in the crevices and grillwork of the commonly heavy, ornate Gorean lock.	10
5	47	We began to rummage through some of the chests and, almost immediately, Elizabeth discovered some five pairs of sandal thongs.	10
5	270	A look of surprise came over her face, then almost of fear.	10
5	309	They live in a set of Master Ships, each almost an artificial planet in itself.	10
5	493	"Do you think," demanded Elizabeth, of both myself and Misk, "that a woman cannot be brave? Will you not honor her as you would a man with danger, not permit her to do something worthy of her species, something important and fine, or is all that is significant and meaningful to be reserved for men?"...	10
5	516	At this point Elizabeth hit her again, almost knocking her once more from the bridge.	10
5	590	I almost did not recognize him, for the humans in the Nest commonly, both men and women, though not now always, shave themselves completely, in accord with traditional practices of sanitation in the Nest.	10
5	731	Drawing her knees up and almost touching her chin to her chest she managed to look about as abject and abused as a poor wench might.	10
5	742	The slave goad, unknown in most Gorean cities, is almost never used except by professional slavers, probably because of the great expense involved; the tarn goad, by contrast, is a simple instrument.	10
5	758	"Please Master," said she, almost inaudibly, "feed Vella".	10
6	61	He was greeted with cheers and was immediately taken to the table on my left, where he was seated at the far end of the table, before a plate heaped with meat, which he began to devour, holding it in his hands, eyes wild, almost lost in the food, to the amusement of the watching men.	10
7	102	Almost immediately the first man, he who wore the tiny Thief's brand, returned to the panel and crouching down, held out a small, obviously heavy box, to Cernus, who, in spite of the fact that he was the master of the House of Cernus itself, took it in his own hands.	10
9	27	To be sold from the Curulean great block is almost a guarantee of a rich master, and a luxurious pleasant life, though it be, of course, only that of a slave.	10
12	23	These areas were almost porches, extending beyond the regular stands, covered with awnings, on which were mounted sets of curule chairs, at different levels.	10
12	50	Several were going about seeking the odds Merchants, several of whom wandered in the stands, but others of whom kept their tables at the foot of the stands, on the sand itself, almost under the nets beneath the rings.	10
