| 56 | 3 |
"And ours," said Drusus Andronicus, "by the sparing of the house of Epicrates, and the cessation, however temporary, of hostilities". |
10 |
| 56 | 13 |
I had poured the wine, serving my master first, which is to be done unless one is instructed otherwise, and then the guest, Drusus Andronicus, and then the Lady Bina. |
10 |
| 56 | 32 |
How they want to keep their collars on them! How they want to own them! What joy is theirs, having their slave at their feet! But even were Drusus Andronicus staying the night, I suspected my master might not offer me to him, even were this to constitute an obvious infringement of the canons of hosp... |
10 |
| 56 | 39 |
Drusus Andronicus, doubtless in view of the innocuous nature, the prosaic sociality, of this meeting, had brought a slave with him, who knelt unobtrusively, to be sure, but a bit closer to him than I would have supposed customary, Paula. |
10 |
| 56 | 42 |
How pleased I was that she knew nothing of my attempt to seduce Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 48 |
"Practicality, I gather," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 54 |
"I shall try," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 57 |
"Please do so," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 62 |
"To live in hiding, fearing each footstep, each shadow," said Drusus Andronicus, "is scarcely pleasant". |
10 |
| 56 | 66 |
"Be silent!" snapped Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 70 |
"I am pleased to be in receipt of that intelligence," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 75 |
"That is true," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 79 |
"I shall inform Decius Albus," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 81 |
"I understand," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 84 |
"I understand," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 88 |
"As I understand it," said Drusus Andronicus, "something of that sort was attempted, on Emerald". |
10 |
| 56 | 91 |
"Of course," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 93 |
"Please," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 104 |
"You killed several of his minions," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 109 |
"You think he is your friend?" asked Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 111 |
"You are of the Scarlet Caste, are you not?" "I am," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 114 |
"I did not think such things obtained amongst beasts," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 116 |
"Forgive me," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 124 |
"It may be so," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 126 |
Have we not already met, and without bloodshed, representatives of Decius Albus? Have we not already released the Lady Alexina, and seen to her safe return to the House of a Hundred Corridors?" "It is as you say," said Drusus Andronicus, "and, beyond this, let it be known that the noble Decius Albus... |
10 |
| 56 | 131 |
"I shall do so," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 133 |
"Not quite," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 135 |
"I bear word, a message," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 56 | 143 |
"Surtak, officer of Lord Agamemnon," said Drusus Andronicus, "proposes a feast of amity, a banquet in which pledges of peace and friendship may be formally exchanged, this occasion to recognize and seal the current truce. |
10 |
| 56 | 146 |
"I shall convey to the noble Albus," said Drusus Andronicus, "that you thank him for his invitation but, due to pressing matters, must decline to accept". |
10 |
| 56 | 151 |
"I wish you well," said Drusus Andronicus, rising. |
10 |
| 56 | 153 |
Drusus Andronicus then turned about, went to the stairs, and descended to the street. |
10 |
| 60 | 15 |
On his right was Drusus Andronicus, long-armed, handsome, and stalwart, in suitable scarlet, betokening his caste, who stood high in the house, and, on his left, clad openly, brazenly, unapologetically, in the hues of the night, was Tyrtaios, of the caste whose members acknowledge no Home Stone, the... |
10 |
| 60 | 25 |
Neither Drusus Andronicus nor Tyrtaios, on the other hand, appeared to have shared in that amiable brew, that "gift of the Life Daughter," tawny, high-growing, flowing-in-the-wind sa-tarna, so readily available about. |
10 |
| 60 | 118 |
He was assisted by Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 60 | 129 |
"And now," called Decius Albus, swaying in the box, then steadied by Drusus Andronicus, "let us salute our revered and mighty allies, our friends from afar, whom we honor with these games". |
10 |
| 60 | 143 |
He was assured of that, apparently by Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 60 | 144 |
I moaned, for the five occupants of the box, Master Albus, Drusus Andronicus, Tyrtaios, and two Kurii were making their way down the tiers, to approach us. |
10 |
| 60 | 175 |
"Let us return to the box, noble Albus," said Drusus Andronicus, supporting Decius Albus, who might otherwise have fallen. |
10 |
| 60 | 180 |
"You have had much paga, noble Albus," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 60 | 196 |
"Do not be offended, noble colleague of the Dark Caste," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 60 | 209 |
"It would be something for the crowd," said Drusus Andronicus to Decius Albus. |
10 |
| 60 | 212 |
"—Yes, very well," said Decius Albus, leaning on Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 60 | 214 |
"And," said Drusus Andronicus, "as the Kurii have had their sport with the verr, let us return the kajirae to their kennels and chains". |
10 |
| 60 | 220 |
"You are afraid of them?" said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 60 | 222 |
"Are you not afraid, also?" "Of course," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 60 | 224 |
"I understand," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 60 | 229 |
Drusus Andronicus was seated at his side, and the two Kurii who had accompanied Surtak in Brundisium, and apparently now held posts of high station, had returned to their places in the box, as well. |
10 |
| 60 | 271 |
Even Decius Albus, half supported by Drusus Andronicus, was on his feet, staring blearily across the field. |
10 |
| 61 | 23 |
"Do not," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 135 |
"It will not," said Drusus Andronicus, standing with us, his sword drawn, the blade wet with fresh blood. |
10 |
| 61 | 249 |
In a moment, they were aflight, hastening to the vicinity of the stake to which Kurik had been chained, where he, Lord Grendel, and Drusus Andronicus had stationed themselves. |
10 |
| 61 | 261 |
Surtak, of course, had left the vicinity of the stake, to cover the flight of the kajirae, which, of course, exposed the two humans, Drusus Andronicus and Kurik, my master, to attack, and Lord Grendel, as well, who had surrendered his ax to Surtak. |
10 |
| 61 | 264 |
In any event, I cried out in misery as I saw a Kur, in the absence of Surtak, rush upon Drusus Andronicus, doubtless intent to sweep him aside and seize the slave, Paula, crouching behind him. |
10 |
| 61 | 265 |
It reached, snarling, for Drusus Andronicus, and the sword of the latter, like a striking ost, swift, clean, and deep, almost invisible in its movement, penetrated that massive body, only to be instantly withdrawn, that it might be freed for another thrust. |
10 |
| 61 | 293 |
"Traitor, traitor!" screamed Decius Albus to Drusus Andronicus, who stood ready, looking about himself. |
10 |
| 61 | 303 |
But how had she dared to speak? Did she not know she had been cautioned to silence? And how dared she use the expression 'my master' to him, when she belonged to another, to Decius Albus? How tragic can be the lot of a helpless slave! In her heart she was the slave of Drusus Andronicus, but, in the ... |
10 |
| 61 | 308 |
He then pointed toward Surtak, Drusus Andronicus, Kurik, and Lord Grendel. |
10 |
| 61 | 339 |
"Soldiers of Ar," cried Drusus Andronicus, "those of you who are men, those of you who are worthy of the Home Stone of Ar, would you let lovely properties that should be yours, and may be yours, perish under the fangs of maddened beasts?" "No!" cried a man. |
10 |
| 61 | 340 |
"Are they worth only that?" cried Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 344 |
"They are not free persons, enemies to be met in battle, enemies who would kill you, enemies who must fear your blades," cried Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 347 |
"Surely, as men," called Drusus Andronicus, "you can think of better things to do with such goods, kajirae, can you not, than feed them to hungry beasts, better things to do with them than put them to the purpose of a beast's provender". |
10 |
| 61 | 358 |
"It will take time," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 360 |
"Possibly," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 362 |
"Quite possibly," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 365 |
"Interesting," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 367 |
"Nor, I think, could I," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 369 |
"In a moment, given the fire of that sword, we could be none," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 371 |
"Matters are uncertain," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 435 |
Paula was in the group, near to Drusus Andronicus, but had not spoken. |
10 |
| 61 | 477 |
"We are lost," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 481 |
"Your foes are there!" cried Decius Albus from the box, pointing toward Surtak, Drusus Andronicus, Kurik, and Lord Grendel. |
10 |
| 61 | 491 |
"We are armed," said Drusus Andronicus to Kurik. |
10 |
| 61 | 501 |
We, the small group at the stake, Surtak, Drusus Andronicus, Kurik, and Lord Grendel, who had no weapon save claws and fangs, and the larger group, the kajirae, were encircled. |
10 |
| 61 | 564 |
Her alleged pet, bearing the large, flat box, had not followed her to the foot of the stands, but had lingered behind, and was rather close to the stake, near which Surtak, Drusus Andronicus, Kurik, and Lord Grendel had taken their stand. |
10 |
| 61 | 666 |
"We are lost," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 676 |
"It seems," said Drusus Andronicus, "the noble Albus is not as beloved by his men as you supposed. |
10 |
| 61 | 692 |
This salute was returned by Drusus Andronicus and Kurik, of Victoria. |
10 |
| 61 | 699 |
"You may die here," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 706 |
"Kajirae," cried Drusus Andronicus, "are to be bought and sold, owned and chained, they are to be worked, commanded, ravished and used, not fed to beasts, unless they are displeasing". |
10 |
| 61 | 709 |
"Discipline!" Drusus Andronicus turned to Kurik. |
10 |
| 61 | 712 |
"You do not know them, as I do," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 719 |
"Perhaps you can buy another," said Drusus Andronicus, his eyes on the soldiers about. |
10 |
| 61 | 732 |
"Kajirae," she said, "who would want them?" "They sell nicely," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 736 |
"I suspect so," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 739 |
"Nor would I," said Drusus Andronicus, impolitely I fear. |
10 |
| 61 | 743 |
"We shall give the matter some thought," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 744 |
"If you feel men are reluctant to go about slaughtering slaves," she said, "why do you not take advantage of that?" "We tried," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 747 |
"They are not," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 750 |
"Yes," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 752 |
"What?" asked Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 754 |
"What problem?" asked Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 756 |
"I do not understand," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 758 |
"I have been unable to do so," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 828 |
Do you think he would risk it?" "No," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 832 |
"Is the point not clear?" asked Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 842 |
"Not every slave," said Drusus Andronicus, menacingly, "will serve as a prize". |
10 |
| 61 | 949 |
"You?" he asked Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 950 |
"No," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 951 |
I had gathered, from earlier in the afternoon, that it was understood that the skills of Tyrtaios were well known, and that he might have easily killed either Kurik or Drusus Andronicus, either singly, or together. |
10 |
| 61 | 952 |
"Perhaps, one day," said Drusus Andronicus, "you will meet your match". |
10 |
| 61 | 957 |
"Doubtless several will," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 960 |
"I suspect Decius Albus will take them back," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 962 |
"Gold speaks," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 61 | 964 |
"Scarcely," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 1 |
"Stand there, before us," said Drusus Andronicus, "both of you". |
10 |
| 62 | 3 |
"Remove your clothing," said Kurik, sitting, cross-legged, beside Drusus Andronicus, he similarly at ease. |
10 |
| 62 | 31 |
"Paula," said Drusus Andronicus, "brought a golden tarsk". |
10 |
| 62 | 34 |
"You are of the blue-and-yellow caste," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 40 |
"Be bold," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 42 |
"Well, this time of year, Ar, a typical market," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 47 |
"Phyllis, then," said Drusus Andronicus, "would be sold in a smaller market, a lesser market?" "Yes," said Kurik. |
10 |
| 62 | 48 |
"She is such a slave?" said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 50 |
"What do you think she would bring?" asked Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 52 |
"Excellent," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 55 |
"It seems she has improved in her collar," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 57 |
"Examination position," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 104 |
"Certainly," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 121 |
"The slaves stand well," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 123 |
Drusus Andronicus glanced to Kurik, who nodded. |
10 |
| 62 | 124 |
"You may break position," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 133 |
"Master!" begged Paula, of Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 134 |
"Keep your palms down, on your thighs, not the backs of your hands," warned Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 142 |
I was pleased that Drusus Andronicus had not cuffed Paula for her indiscretion, whether it was intentional or not. |
10 |
| 62 | 148 |
"I wonder," said Drusus Andronicus, "why the men of Earth do not have their females so before them". |
10 |
| 62 | 152 |
"We want our females so," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 154 |
"Women belong on their knees, naked, and collared," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 158 |
"You may dress," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 62 | 169 |
"Yes," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 63 | 205 |
Drusus Andronicus and Kurik were on the wagon bench, taking turns with the reins. |
10 |
| 63 | 233 |
Many times in the past few days, I had felt the urge to throw myself to my belly before Paula, weeping, and beg her forgiveness for the wrong I had so gratuitously done to her, confessing my miserable attempt to seduce Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 63 | 234 |
How grievously I had betrayed her friendship and trust! Clearly Drusus Andronicus had never referred to the matter. |
10 |
| 63 | 248 |
We had been attended to by Kurik, while those in the wagon were served by Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 63 | 381 |
"Please tell my master, Drusus Andronicus," said Paula, "that his slave, Paula, oils, oils profusely, and begs to be touched". |
10 |
| 63 | 396 |
At this point, Drusus Andronicus descended from the wagon. |
10 |
| 63 | 399 |
"She can wait," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 63 | 404 |
I beg it! Relieve my need, I beg of you!" "You can wait," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 63 | 444 |
I was then, following my relief, again stricken, suddenly, miserably, with the guilt I had so long nursed, having to do with my attempt to seduce Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 64 | 119 |
"Be careful," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 64 | 145 |
And how could I bring myself to respect a man who would not put me where I belonged, kneeling, beneath his whip? When Paula had finished her repast, she crawled to Drusus Andronicus, and lay lovingly beside him. |
10 |
| 64 | 149 |
I lay beside my master, and thought of what Drusus Andronicus had said. |
10 |
| 64 | 157 |
Both Kurik, my master, and Drusus Andronicus, sat about, cross-legged, which is common with Gorean men. |
10 |
| 64 | 262 |
"You may now serve the men," said the Lady Bina, indicating Drusus Andronicus and Kurik, of Victoria. |
10 |
| 64 | 264 |
She then brought the cubes to Drusus Andronicus and Kurik, of Victoria. |
10 |
| 64 | 325 |
"In one respect, he was seriously misinformed," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 65 | 28 |
We were led, half stumbling, by Kurik, my master, toward the slave pool, with Drusus Andronicus now preceding us. |
10 |
| 65 | 33 |
"Kajirae," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 65 | 35 |
"You have been caged for your own protection," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 65 | 45 |
"They know you are of our party," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 65 | 49 |
"What is going on, Master?" begged Paula, plaintively, but Drusus Andronicus had turned away from her. |
10 |
| 65 | 50 |
The two at the gate, Drusus Andronicus and Kurik, of Victoria, were joined by Lord Grendel. |
10 |
| 65 | 51 |
"Might it not have been wise, dear Grendel," said Kurik, "to have solicited the aid of Surtak, and those with him?" "I am sure they would have looked favorably on such a request," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 65 | 60 |
"Let us put our plan into effect," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 65 | 130 |
There was no sign of Lord Grendel, or Eve, or of Drusus Andronicus, or of Kurik, my master, in the camp. |
10 |
| 65 | 145 |
"I know little or nothing of he whom you call 'Lord Grendel', and she whom you call 'Eve'," said Paula, "but Drusus Andronicus and Kurik are Goreans, masters". |
10 |
| 65 | 275 |
Then Drusus Andronicus appeared from the right. |
10 |
| 65 | 309 |
And then Drusus Andronicus had appeared from the right. |
10 |
| 65 | 324 |
"Do not interfere," said Lord Grendel to Kurik, with his leveled bow, he, my master, and to Drusus Andronicus, Paula's master. |
10 |
| 65 | 364 |
A bit later, Kurik and Drusus Andronicus approached the slave pool. |
10 |
| 65 | 365 |
Kurik carried the key to the locks and Drusus Andronicus held a pair of blankets. |
10 |
| 65 | 399 |
Then I recalled the wrong I had done to Paula, how I had attempted to steal the affections of Drusus Andronicus, not because I wanted him, but because, in my vanity, I had been jealous of her. |
10 |
| 65 | 404 |
"A free woman speaks," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 66 | 59 |
I was again overcome with misery and guilt, that Paula knew nothing of my indiscretion, or betrayal, when I had attempted to sway the manhood and lust of Drusus Andronicus in my favor. |
10 |
| 66 | 63 |
I did not think I had seen her so, until after my being scorned and bound by Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 67 | 2 |
"Very well," he said, and unsnapped the ring on my leash, and I leaped to my feet and ran after Paula, who was heeling Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 67 | 8 |
Hearing my cries, Drusus Andronicus stopped, and turned about. |
10 |
| 67 | 26 |
"Of course Drusus Andronicus would inform his slave of the incident. |
10 |
| 67 | 30 |
"We must be on our way," said Drusus Andronicus. |
10 |
| 67 | 37 |
"Forgive me, Master!" she called after Drusus Andronicus, and hurried to heel him. |
10 |
| 67 | 45 |
She was willing to give up Drusus Andronicus, if he preferred me. |
10 |
| 67 | 57 |
Drusus Andronicus recounted the business to me, which he found quite amusing. |
10 |
| 67 | 59 |
Drusus Andronicus had to bind her to keep her in place. |
10 |
