8 359 One of the best among the wagons I had heard was a Kassar slave, a swift Turian wench whose name was Dina.

10
9 93 Among the Wagons, clad in a brief bit of cord and leather, branded, wearing nose ring and Turian collar, could be found many of the beauties of Turia.
Details
10
9 105 I observed the banquet tables, laid out in an open-ended rectangle, permitting slaves to enter at the open end, facilitating the serving, and, of course, allowing entertainers to perform among the tables.

9 114 "I see," he said, "that you were not raised among the wagons".

9 197 The musicians, at a signal from the Feast Steward, took up their instruments again and the acrobats rushed back among the tables, tumbling and leaping about.

10
9 306 "We have many girls among the wagons quite as good," said Kamchak.

9 325 "Ho!" cried Aphris of Turia, summoning the Feast Steward to her, through the turning bodies of the girls dancing among the tables.

10 1 Love War It was early in the morning, several days after Saphrar's banquet, that Kamchak and myself, among some hundreds of others of the Four Wagon Peoples, came to the Plains of a Thousand Stakes, some pasangs distant from lofty Turia.
Details
10
10 11 Beside him, but as Ubars, rode three other men, whom I took to be chief among the Kassars, the Kataii, the Paravaci.
Details
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...
Details
10
10 125 Kamchak! Free a slave! And, I told myself, even if I myself owned Elizabeth, and not Kamchak, I could not free her—for what would it be to free her? If she approached Turia she would fall slave to the first patrol that leashed and hooded her; if she tried to stay among the wagons, some young ...
Details
10
10 126 And I myself did not intend to stay among the wagons.
Details
10
10 199 Moving boldly now among the Wagon Peoples were vendors from Turia, selling their cakes, their wines and meats, even chains and collars.
Details
10
10 204 Among the Tuchuks, though dismounted, I saw the young man Harold, he whom Hereena of the First Wagon had so sorely insulted at the time of the wagering with Conrad and Albrecht.
Details
10
10 207 He had, as I mentioned, blond hair and blue eyes, not unknown among the Tuchuks, but unusual.
Details
10
10 211 It might be mentioned, incidentally, that without the Courage Scar one may not, among the Tuchuks, pay court to a free woman, own a wagon, or own more than five bosk and three kaiila.
Details
10
10 229 Some were haggling with the vendors, others were talking among themselves.
Details
10
10 247 In a moment, to a thunder of kaiila paws on the turf, racing between the lines of stakes, scattering sand, there came a great number of riders, their black hair swirling behind them, who pulled up on their mounts, rearing and squealing, between the stakes, and leaped from the saddle to the sand, rel...
Details
10
10 248 They were marvelous, the many wild girls of the Wagons, and I saw that chief among them was the proud, beauteous Hereena, of the First Wagon.
Details
10
10 252 I saw Hereena notice the young man Harold among the warriors and she pointed her finger imperiously at him, gesturing him to her.
Details
10
10 258 "Hah!" said Kamchak, seeing now the lines of tharlarion part for a space of perhaps forty yards, through which could be seen the screened palanquins of Turian damsels, some on the shoulders of chained slaves, among them undoubtedly men of the Wagon Peoples.
Details
10
10 259 Now the excitement of the throng seemed mostly to course among the warriors of the Wagon Peoples as they rose in their stirrups to see better the swaying, approaching palanquins, each reputedly bearing a gem of great beauty, a fit prize in the savage contests of Love War.
Details
10
10 260 The institution of Love War is an ancient one among the Turians and the Wagon Peoples, according to the Year Keepers antedating even the Omen Year.
Details
10
10 264 The secret justification, I suspect, however, is that the Turian warrior is fond of meeting the enemy and acquiring his women, particularly should they be striking little beasts, like Hereena of the First Wagon, as untamed and savage as they are beautiful; it is regarded as a great sport among Turia...
Details
10
10 277 Judges were now circulating, each with lists, among the Wagon Peoples and the Turians.
Details
10
10 285 This meant that she was quite possibly the most beautiful woman in Turia, certainly at least among those in the games this year.
Details
10
10 297 The selection of the girls, incidentally, is determined by judges in their city, or of their own people, in Turia by members of the Caste of Physicians who have served in the great slave houses of Ar; among the wagons by the masters of the public slave wagons, who buy, sell and rent girls, providing...

10
10 366 "There are probably several better among the stakes," said Kamchak.
Details
10
10 396 Sometimes men fight among themselves for this honor, but such combat is frowned upon by both the Turians and those of the Wagons, being regarded as somewhat disgraceful, particularly in the presence of foes.

11 117 * * * * Some two hours later we reached the encampment of the Tuchuks and made our way among the wagons and the cooking pots and playing children.
Details
10
11 154 "For," said Kamchak, "among your other tasks, my dear, you will perform for this barbarian the duties of a female serving slave".
Details
10
11 182 It was too bad, I thought, but at least I supposed there would be one fellow among the wagons, the young man Harold, he whom the girl had so abused, he who had not yet won the Courage Scar, who would be just as pleased as not that she, with all her contempt and spleen, was now delightfully salted aw...

12 32 I supposed he was curious about me, not a Tuchuk, not a merchant or singer, yet among the Wagons.

12 202 Kamchak was fishing about among his paraphernalia and he came up with two wrist-ankle hobbles.
Details
10
12 208 I saw among them even some Kassars and Paravaci, and one of the rare Kataii, seldom seen in the encampments of the other peoples.
Details
10
12 217 There was also a second drummer, also with a kaska, and another fellow, a younger one, who sat very seriously before what appeared to me to be a pile of objects; among them was a notched stick, played by sliding a polished tem-wood stick across its surface; cymbals of various sorts; what was obvious...

12 490 Then, shrugging, I too left the enclosure, thinking that perhaps I should wander among the wagons for a few hours, before returning.

13 9 "She would have hidden among the wagons last night," Kamchak said.

10
13 15 "Cut off her feet," said Kamchak, "and her nose and ears, and blind her in one eye—then release her to live as she can among the wagons".

10
13 81 Then, before I could realize what he intended, he had subjected Miss Cardwell to what, among slavers, is known as the Whip Caress.
Details
10
13 85 The Whip Caress is commonly used among Slavers to force a girl to betray herself.

13 107 He would do no more to Elizabeth Cardwell than was commonly done to female slaves among the wagons, even those who had never dared to speak back or disobey in the least particular.

13 127 While near Kutaituchik's wagon, on the dais, he also conferred with several other high men among the Tuchuks.

13 142 Among the animals I saw many verr; some domestic tarsks, their tusks sheathed; cages of flapping vulos, some sleen, some kaiila, even some bosk; by the Paravaci haruspexes I saw manacled male slaves, if such were to be permitted; commonly, I understood from Kamchak, the Tuchuks, Kassars and Kataii r...

10
13 177 Clerks, with parchment scrolls, were circulating among the altars, presumably, I would guess, noting the names of haruspexes, their peoples, and their findings.
Details
10
14 31 Among these but to no Ten or Hundred did Kamchak ride.
Details
10
14 55 Among the wagons the tarnsmen would have found only slaves, women and children, but not a wagon had been burned or looted.
Details
10
14 57 A few arrows from those who followed us looped weakly up after them, falling then among the wagons.
Details
10
14 80 I saw here and there, among the rugs and polished wood bristling with white arrows, overturned boxes, loose jewels scattered, torn robes and tapestries.

15 48 The afternoon among the wagons was a busy one, for they were preparing to move.

15 99 * * * * I searched among the wagons long before I found, sitting cross-legged beneath a wagon, wrapped in a worn bosk robe, his weapons at hand folded in leather, the young man whose name was Harold, the blond-haired, blue-eyed fellow who had been so victimized by Hereena, she of the First Wagon, wh...

10
16 159 "Let there be no ill will among friends".
Details
10
16 162 "I would introduce our hooded friend," explained Saphrar, "but even I do not know his name nor face—only that he stands high among the Paravaci and accordingly has been of great use to me".

10
16 197 "Among friends," said Saphrar, "perhaps we can speak frankly, particularly seeing that the tales we tell will not be retold.

10
16 243 "Also, I was certain there could not have been two among the Tuchuks with hair such as yours".
Details
10
16 314 The matter of the message collar had been a clever way of attempting to gain that end but, because of the shrewdness of Tuchuks, who seldom take anything at its face value, it had failed; they had then attempted to bring me down among the wagons with a Paravaci quiva, but that, too, had failed; I gr...

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.

19 61 I then followed Harold along one of the smooth, stone paths leading among the trees, brushing our way through the clusters of blossoms, skirting the edge of the nearer blue pool.

10
19 63 They were beautiful shining among the green and white blossoms on the water.

19 80 I had not kept count but we must have passed by more than seven or eight hundred girls, and still, among all these riches of Saphrar, he could not seem to find the one for which he searched.

10
21 49 As I hobbled through the city of Turia, one eye half shut, staring at the street as though I hoped to find a lost copper tarn disk among the stones, I made my way toward the compound of Saphrar of Turia.
Details
10
21 100 Then I realized that I had heard it among the wagons of the Tuchuks.
Details
10
22 60 Indeed it was true, for the next level beneath a Ubar among the Wagon Peoples is that of the Commander of a Thousand.
Details
10
22 110 I saw among them Kamras, Champion of Turia, and another, on Kamchak's right hand, a heavy, swollen, despondent man, who could only have been Phanius Turmus himself.
Details
10
22 118 Sometimes one of the serving girls would be seized by an ankle or arm and dragged screaming to the cushions among the tables, much to the amusement of the men and the Tuchuk girls.

23 21 He did not, on the other hand, approve of the fact that the raid had taken place during the Omen Year, which is a time of general truce among the Wagon Peoples.
Details
10
23 56 Hundreds of the wagons were burning and fighting was taking place among them.
Details
10
23 60 I knew that in little more than fifteen or twenty Ehn his forces would be lost, dissipated among the wagons, and yet surely the Paravaci must be met and fought there as well as on the prairie.
Details
10
23 68 In an instant we were embroiled among angry men—the half-formed, disorganized Hundreds of the Paravaci—striking to the left and right, shouting the war cry of the Tuchuks.
Details
10
23 73 Among the bosk I ordered my men to rest.
Details
10
23 86 That night I met with Harold, whose men had been fighting among the wagons.
Details
10
23 87 He had cleared several areas of Paravaci but they were still, here and there, among the wagons.
Details
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...
Details
10
23 101 The battle was joined at the seventh Gorean hour and, as planned, as soon as the Paravaci center was committed, the bulk of our forces wheeled and retreated among the wagons, the rest of our forces then turning and pushing the wagons together.
Details
10
23 152 And even the sky seemed dark for a moment as, from the left and right, thousands upon thousands of arrows fell like dark rain among the startled, stumbling, turning Paravaci.
Details
10
23 181 "Those that pleased us—both of goods and women," remarked Conrad, "we carried off—of goods that did not please us, we burned them—of women that did not please us, we left them stripped and weeping among the wagons".
Details
10
23 182 "This will mean war," I said, "for many years among the Wagon Peoples".

10
23 190 In the morning the warriors remaining of the two Thousands who had ridden with Harold and I would, with the help of other Tuchuks surviving among the wagons, move the wagons and the bosk from the field.

10
24 12 I knew that Kamchak was in constant touch, by means of riders, with the wagons of the Tuchuks, and so I did not speak with him of the looting of his wagon, nor of the fate of Aphris of Turia, nor did I deem it well to speak to him of Elizabeth Cardwell, for it seemed evident that he had sold her, an...

24 174 Muttering I jerked loose the reins of my kaiila from the column to which I had tethered it, leaped to the saddle and raced after Harold, not wishing to be left behind somewhere in the streets of Turia or among the dark wagons beyond the gate, pounding on wagon after wagon to find which one might be ...

27 16 As a matter of course various goods and riches were heaped about his throne, and among them, as part of the booty, there knelt some of the most beautiful of Turia's maidens, clad only in the Sirik, but at his right knee, unchained and clad Kajir, there knelt Aphris of Turia.
