Miles of Argentum; Drusus Rencius Speculates on What I Might Bring as a Slave; I Have Obtained Greater Freedoms "The arrogant knave now approaching the throne," said Ligurious, whispering in my ear, "is Miles, an ambassador, and general, from Argentum". |
10 |
| 5 | 25 |
"Miles, Ambassador of Argentum, Miles, General of Argentum!" announced the herald. |
10 |
| 5 | 28 |
"The throne of Corcyrus," said Ligurious, "greets the ambassador from Argentum, Miles, general of Argentum". |
10 |
| 5 | 36 |
In the taverns of Argentum we of Argentum are indeed accustomed to speaking freely before women such as your Tatrix. |
10 |
| 5 | 157 |
"In suit for the favor of Corcyrus, in deference and tribute to Corcyrus, Claudius, Ubar of Argentum," said Miles of Argentum, "sends this!" He flung open the great chest, and turned it to its side. |
10 |
| 5 | 160 |
"There is nothing in them!" "And that," said Miles of Argentum, "is what Claudius, Ubar of Argentum, sends to Corcyrus!" "Insolence!" cried Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 235 |
I remembered the sight of the silver tarsk from Argentum, in the hand of Miles of Argentum, and the way it had looked, on the soft carpeting of the dais, on one of the broad steps leading up to the throne. |
10 |
| 13 | 84 |
"Drusus Rencius, Captain of Ar, on detached service to the forces of Argentum," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 31 | 7 |
I knelt naked before Miles of Argentum, before his thronelike chair, on the tiles in his quarters, in Argentum. |
10 |
| 31 | 552 |
The sack was to be opened, and she was to be presented to Claudius, Ubar of Argentum, and the high council, and high citizens of Argentum, at the climax of a great feast, to be celebrated two days from now. |
10 |
| 33 | 732 |
I am prepared now to be turned over, as a slave, the slave I am, to Claudius, the Ubar of Argentum, and the high council of Argentum, to face their justice". |
10 |
| 36 | 33 |
On the other hand, it now seemed clear that he had come to Argentum, astoundingly enough, on the account of a mere slave, that he had come to Argentum merely to reclaim Emily, to get her again in his personal collar. |
10 |
| 3 | 129 |
It lies to the east and somewhat north of Argentum". |
10 |
| 4 | 68 |
"It is good for you to appear before the people," had said Ligurious, "given the trouble with Argentum". |
10 |
| 4 | 69 |
"What is the trouble with Argentum?" I had asked. |
10 |
| 4 | 73 |
"What is the problem with Argentum?" I asked. |
10 |
| 5 | 5 |
"Remember that those of Argentum are our enemies, and the enemies, too, of our great ally, the island of Cos". |
10 |
| 5 | 14 |
I knew matters were tense between Corcyrus and Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 18 |
He was from Argentum, our enemy. |
10 |
| 5 | 29 |
"On behalf of Claudius, Ubar of Argentum," said Miles, "I accept the greetings of Corcyrus". |
10 |
| 5 | 32 |
"Beware the quickness of your tongue," said Ligurious, "for you rant now not in one of Argentum's taverns but in Corcyrus, and before the throne of her Tatrix". |
10 |
| 5 | 52 |
Better to have sent you the defiance of Argentum and a spear of war". |
10 |
| 5 | 57 |
The issues had to do primarily with our silver mines, which, unfortunately, lay near Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 60 |
The claim of Argentum, of course, was that the silver mines were theirs. |
10 |
| 5 | 64 |
"It is fortunate for Corcyrus, and for peace," said Ligurious, "that he with whom we truly have to deal is not Miles, general of Argentum, but with Claudius, her Ubar. |
10 |
| 5 | 68 |
"Corcyrus is not feared by Argentum," said Miles. |
10 |
| 5 | 72 |
"If the gifts are suitable," said Ligurious, "our Tatrix, after the cession of the mines, may be moved to deal somewhat less harshly with the miscreants of Argentum". |
10 |
| 5 | 80 |
I did not understand, truly, the remark of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 129 |
I noted the eyes of Miles of Argentum on Susan. |
10 |
| 5 | 148 |
I wondered if I might become as beautiful, someday, as the women cited by Miles of Argentum as being so superior to me. |
10 |
| 5 | 152 |
"Of course," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 171 |
"Here," said Miles, reaching into a pocket on his belt, "if you of Corcyrus are so eager for the silver of Argentum, I will give you some". |
10 |
| 5 | 173 |
"This is a silver tarsk of Argentum," he said. |
10 |
| 5 | 179 |
I saw Drusus Rencius restrain one man from rushing upon Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 193 |
"Argentum, upon reflection, will think the better of her rash decision. |
10 |
| 5 | 195 |
"The ambassador, he, Miles, the general of Argentum," I said, "seemed very firm". |
10 |
| 5 | 205 |
"What did you think of Miles of Argentum?" asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 211 |
"Surely you saw her," said Ligurious, "when she knew herself to be under the gaze of the sleen from Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 216 |
Surely I could not admit to Ligurious that I, too, had been made uneasy by the presence of the ambassador from Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 222 |
"Is it true," I asked her, "that you might possibly have experienced feelings of a sexual nature before Miles of Argentum?" "I cannot help myself, Mistress," she said. |
10 |
| 5 | 233 |
"Miles of Argentum is an arrogant knave, isn't he?" I asked Drusus. |
10 |
| 6 | 81 |
"Have you heard aught of the sleen of Argentum?" I asked. |
10 |
| 6 | 82 |
It had been several days now since the return of Miles of Argentum to his city. |
10 |
| 6 | 463 |
Too, Miles of Argentum had speculated that I might bring as much as even a silver tarsk in a market. |
10 |
| 8 | 627 |
"Corcyrus," he said, "has seized the mines of Argentum. |
10 |
| 9 | 92 |
"Surely you saw the silver brought in from Argentum?" he asked. |
10 |
| 9 | 104 |
"Did your troops enter Argentum?" I asked. |
10 |
| 10 | 206 |
Argentum, as you know, is an ally of Ar". |
10 |
| 11 | 202 |
"Doubtless Argentum has spies in the city," he said. |
10 |
| 13 | 1 |
The Golden Cage; Miles of Argentum Speaks with Me The great beam cracked, and then splintered, and the doors burst in at the far end of the aisle, leading towards the throne. |
10 |
| 13 | 15 |
"Miles, General of Argentum, Victor over Corcyrus!" announced a soldier. |
10 |
| 13 | 25 |
Miles of Argentum sheathed his sword. |
10 |
| 13 | 36 |
The hand of Miles of Argentum then brushed back my robes, that my whole head and features, to the throat, might be revealed to the crowd. |
10 |
| 13 | 41 |
"Your features," said Miles of Argentum, "are surely well known to hundreds, if not thousands". |
10 |
| 13 | 45 |
"I am Tiffany Collins!" "Bring forth the palace slave called Susan," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 53 |
"You are Susan, are you not," inquired Miles of Argentum, "who was as personal serving slave to Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" "Yes, Master," she said. |
10 |
| 13 | 55 |
"Is this she who was to you as Mistress?" inquired Miles of Argentum, addressing himself to the terrified slave from Cincinnati at his feet. |
10 |
| 13 | 68 |
Just before the soldier had grasped the thong I had seen her wildly look at Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 79 |
"Call the captain from Ar," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 81 |
Then he stood on the dais, almost with Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 88 |
Twice, I knew, suddenly realizing it now, he could have stolen me from Corcyrus, delivering me to Argentum, once when we were on the walls near the tarn perches and once, later, when, my whereabouts unknown to Ligurious and others, I had been in the house of Kliomenes, braceleted, half naked and hel... |
10 |
| 13 | 91 |
"Do you know this woman, Captain?" asked Miles, general of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 98 |
"How do you know her?" asked Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 104 |
"Who is she?" asked Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 109 |
"Strip her," said Miles of Argentum, "and put her in golden chains, and put her in the golden cage". |
10 |
| 13 | 127 |
They lifted me up, then, at a sign from Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 132 |
"Behold the Tatrix of Corcyrus," called Miles of Argentum, indicating me with a sweeping gesture, "helpless, and in chains!" There was a wild cheer from the crowd, almost a shriek, as though for blood. |
10 |
| 13 | 150 |
"Make way! Clear the way!" called Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 153 |
"What are you going to do with me?" I asked Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 160 |
At a sign from Miles of Argentum a soldier picked me up, lightly, in his arms. |
10 |
| 13 | 170 |
"In this cage, Lady Sheila," said Miles of Argentum, "you will be paraded through the streets of Corcyrus, exhibited in our triumph. |
10 |
| 13 | 172 |
You will, thereafter, be transported in this same cage to Argentum. |
10 |
| 13 | 185 |
Miles of Argentum surveyed me, and the chains, and the cage. |
10 |
| 13 | 187 |
I think we may count on your arriving in Argentum in good order". |
10 |
| 13 | 194 |
"What are you taking me to Argentum for?" I asked. |
10 |
| 14 | 1 |
The Camp of Miles of Argentum; Two Men "No," I whimpered. |
10 |
| 14 | 14 |
The crowds cheered Miles of Argentum and his men. |
10 |
| 14 | 16 |
The people of Corcyrus, it was clear, had welcomed the men of Argentum, and their allies from Ar, as liberators. |
10 |
| 14 | 17 |
The colors of Argentum and of Ar, on ribbons and strips of cloth, dangled from windows and festooned, even being stretched between windows and rooftops overhead, the triumphal way. |
10 |
| 14 | 22 |
If I did not do so, Miles of Argentum had informed me, simply, I would be beaten like a slave. |
10 |
| 14 | 34 |
We were one day out of Corcyrus, on the march to Argentum. |
10 |
| 14 | 46 |
I was being transported to Argentum for impalement. |
10 |
| 14 | 58 |
The stealth, and the gradualness, which seemed to characterize what was going on, did not suggest the activities of authorized representatives of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 14 | 66 |
What if they were men of Corcyrus who wished to return me to the city, there to subject me to secret and horrifying tortures which might shame the agonies of an impaling spear on the walls of Argentum? I did not know whether to cry out or not. |
10 |
| 14 | 115 |
Then, again, we threaded our way amongst the canvas-lined lanes of the camp of the men of Argentum. |
10 |
| 15 | 68 |
"It is the fifth time you have served in his tent since we left Argentum," said the first girl. |
10 |
| 16 | 7 |
I had been three days the unsuspected guest of the tarnsman from the camp of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 16 | 16 |
I decided to risk a third day in the basket, to put even more hundreds of pasangs between me and Argentum and Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 16 | 22 |
Surely I was not interested in being delivered to Ar, the very ally of Argentum, where, presumably, it would be impossible to escape detection. |
10 |
| 16 | 195 |
I did not want to identify myself with Corcyrus, of course, or any cities or towns in that area, even Argentum. |
10 |
| 16 | 198 |
The name had been mentioned, I did recall, on the tarn platform, in the camp of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 17 | 41 |
And in Corcyrus, and the camp of Miles of Argentum, thousands must have seen me! Muchly did I bemoan my fate. |
10 |
| 18 | 35 |
"They will take me back to Argentum for impalement!" He smiled. |
10 |
| 19 | 53 |
"Do you wish to be taken to Argentum for impalement?" he asked. |
10 |
| 20 | 212 |
"To Argentum," she said. |
10 |
| 20 | 218 |
"It is the road to Argentum," she said. |
10 |
| 21 | 14 |
I was naked again, as I had been, in the camp of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 21 | 18 |
I made my way eastward, gasping, and walking and running, on the Argentum road, back toward the Viktel Aria. |
10 |
| 21 | 23 |
This would be almost as bad from my point of view, they would suppose, as moving toward Argentum itself. |
10 |
| 21 | 51 |
There was another reason I was retracing our steps on the Argentum road. |
10 |
| 21 | 70 |
Toward morning the rain stopped and I, fearful of discovery as it grew lighter, left the Argentum road. |
10 |
| 23 | 271 |
I did not think that any mysterious men would suddenly appear to free me, as at the camp of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 23 | 282 |
Had he turned me over to the authorities I would doubtless have eventually been returned to Speusippus as his strayed Lita, and then conveyed by him, probably in chains, to Argentum, there presumably to be commended to the attentions of the impaling spear. |
10 |
| 23 | 327 |
The wagon would proceed east on the Argentum road, reach the Viktel Aria, and turn south. |
10 |
| 24 | 29 |
Only two of the girls in this line had been in the slave wagon on the Argentum road with me, Emily and Luta. |
10 |
| 29 | 235 |
Indeed, Chenbar, he of Tyros, and Lurius, he of Cos, would presumably flaunt her presence if she were luxuriating within the compass of their hospitality, if only to spite Argentum, and Ar. |
10 |
| 29 | 303 |
Even Drusus Rencius, perhaps, or Miles of Argentum, too, men who had actually seen me, I thought, might not recognize me now. |
10 |
| 30 | 69 |
With them I saw, too, one uniform of Argentum. |
10 |
| 30 | 514 |
Then, helpless, in a golden sack, you are to be taken to Argentum". |
10 |
| 30 | 547 |
Unknowingly, I now realized I had seen her in the small room off the great hall on the day that the forces of Ar and Argentum had entered the city. |
10 |
| 30 | 559 |
If things should go badly in Corcyrus for Ligurious and the Tatrix, if the people should rise, if the projected war for the mines of Argentum, which must have been truly theirs, turned out badly, they might escape, leaving behind them a pretty little proxy, a naive surrogate, on which enraged multit... |
10 |
| 30 | 566 |
I had been freed from the cage in the camp of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 30 | 568 |
Thus, instead of the matter of Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, supposedly being concluded with an impalement on the walls of Argentum, following which Ligurious and the real Sheila, under new identities, and doubtless with salvaged riches, might proceed almost wherever they might please, an intensiv... |
10 |
| 30 | 569 |
Ligurious and Sheila had expected me to be identified as the Tatrix and shipped under lock and key to Argentum, there to be impaled; they had not expected me to escape; they had not counted on sleen. |
10 |
| 30 | 576 |
"Do I not know you?" asked Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 30 | 577 |
It had been he, apparently, in the uniform of Argentum, with Hassan, his men, the sleen, the officers of Ar. |
10 |
| 30 | 584 |
"Do you know him?" asked Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 30 | 588 |
"Look here, Drusus," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 30 | 591 |
I suspected then that Drusus Rencius had seen me in the crowd but had not drawn me to the attention of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 30 | 628 |
"Is it Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" asked Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 30 | 631 |
"I see," smiled Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 30 | 640 |
Miles of Argentum regarded me. |
10 |
| 30 | 664 |
"Argentum," I said. |
10 |
| 30 | 705 |
Miles of Argentum, for example, knew it. |
10 |
| 30 | 706 |
I thought of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 31 | 1 |
Argentum "Remove your silk," he said. |
10 |
| 31 | 14 |
My entire group had been brought from Ar to Argentum, as though to entertain. |
10 |
| 31 | 15 |
This had been done at the expense of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 31 | 17 |
We had never, from the time we had left the agency in Ar to the time we entered the grounds of the palace in Argentum, been out of chains of one sort or another. |
10 |
| 31 | 18 |
I supposed that it was only I, of all the girls, and perhaps of all those on the staff of the agency itself, who suspected the reasons for this trip to Argentum and the rationale of the security. |
10 |
| 31 | 19 |
I did not think Miles of Argentum was particularly interested in feast slaves, per se. |
10 |
| 31 | 20 |
Surely such might be rented in Argentum itself. |
10 |
| 31 | 142 |
Did he truly think that an agonizing death, writhing on a high, narrow impaling spear, some twenty feet in height, unable to free myself, in a public square, or on the walls of Argentum, in public view, to the jeers and cries of a vengeful crowd was not to be feared? "I am Tiffany," I said, weakly, ... |
10 |
| 31 | 343 |
I then, on all fours, brought it, between my teeth, to Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 31 | 346 |
"Does Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, beg to perform on her leash for Miles, general of Argentum?" he inquired. |
10 |
| 31 | 392 |
"I am completely in the power of Miles of Argentum," I said. |
10 |
| 31 | 506 |
How casually Miles of Argentum had just used me! But I did not object, for I was a slave. |
10 |
| 31 | 512 |
To be sure, the use to which Miles of Argentum had just subjected me, and I was well aware of this, had not been merely casual, a simple convenience use. |
10 |
| 31 | 522 |
I thought of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 31 | 546 |
But I was frightened of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 31 | 550 |
Only recently he had brought her to Argentum in a golden sack. |
10 |
| 31 | 553 |
So what interest had Miles of Argentum in me? Surely he did not think that I might be the real Sheila. |
10 |
| 31 | 558 |
I was merely Tiffany, a feast slave, brought to Argentum with others to serve at the victory feast. |
10 |
| 31 | 560 |
I reminded myself that Miles of Argentum did not own me. |
10 |
| 31 | 586 |
Miles of Argentum, dressed and shaved, answered the door. |
10 |
| 31 | 598 |
I felt Miles of Argentum, from the back, pressing a tiny key into my collar. |
10 |
| 31 | 629 |
"'I am the property of Miles of Argentum,'" he read. |
10 |
| 31 | 636 |
I wore the collar, then, of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 31 | 683 |
"It will be a tunic appropriate to the girls of Miles of Argentum," he said. |
10 |
| 31 | 718 |
What a tribute to their attractiveness, and their skills as a slave! How they must compete with one another, I thought, to become the favorite! But how much better, I thought, to be the single slave of one's master, and to learn him, and serve him, with heat and devotion, regularly, day in and day o... |
10 |
| 31 | 791 |
I stood there, shuddering, only just had by Miles of Argentum, my arm now locked helplessly in the tight grasp of the new fellow. |
10 |
| 31 | 792 |
"Sheila," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 32 | 1 |
The Throne Room The throne room in the palace at Argentum was now cool and dark. |
10 |
| 32 | 11 |
I was now a work slave and pleasure slave owned by Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 32 | 12 |
Tonight, at the feast, I was to be presented naked and in chains to Claudius, the Ubar of Argentum, and the council. |
10 |
| 32 | 42 |
My tunic, then, the tunic of Miles of Argentum, that brief, trim tunic, of brown, trimmed with yellow, with the plunging neckline, and slit at the sides to the rib cage, was stripped away from me, from the back. |
10 |
| 32 | 48 |
I was then turned about and put on my back before my captor, on the tiles at the foot of the dais on which reposed the throne of Argentum. |
10 |
| 32 | 66 |
"I wonder how you escaped from the camp of Miles of Argentum," he said. |
10 |
| 32 | 73 |
In return for immunity I have volunteered to give evidence for the state of Argentum in the identification of the Tatrix of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 32 | 87 |
Similarly, objections will not be encountered by Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 32 | 90 |
In this fashion we expect Miles of Argentum to be satisfied. |
10 |
| 32 | 212 |
It was the slave tunic Miles of Argentum put us all in. |
10 |
| 32 | 270 |
I did so, displaying as well as I could one of the properties of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 32 | 276 |
"That would seem appropriate," he said, "at least from the point of view of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 32 | 339 |
"I will see that you safely reach the slave quarters of your master, Miles of Argentum," he said. |
10 |
| 33 | 1 |
The Inquiry; The Outcome of the Inquiry; I am the Slave of Miles of Argentum The dancers had now scurried away with a jangle of bells. |
10 |
| 33 | 5 |
At these tables were Claudius, the Ubar of Argentum, and members of the high council. |
10 |
| 33 | 6 |
There were numerous other dignitaries there, as well, both from Argentum and from other cities. |
10 |
| 33 | 7 |
Miles of Argentum was there, and Drusus Rencius, and Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 14 |
I would be produced when Miles of Argentum, my master, wished it. |
10 |
| 33 | 17 |
"It is now time," said Claudius, the Ubar of Argentum, "to come to the major business of the evening. |
10 |
| 33 | 20 |
At this table, too, sat Ligurious, Miles of Argentum and Drusus Rencius. |
10 |
| 33 | 22 |
Months ago the unprovoked aggression of Corcyrus, seeking the silver of Argentum, was repelled. |
10 |
| 33 | 28 |
"She, now, like Argentum, is a free ally of glorious Ar". |
10 |
| 33 | 42 |
"She was captured in Corcyrus but, en route to Argentum, escaped. |
10 |
| 33 | 59 |
For months within her very government I strove to dissuade her from endeavors hostile to the great state of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 62 |
The best that I could hope for was to prepare the way for the victorious forces of Argentum, which I managed to do. |
10 |
| 33 | 135 |
"My Ubar," said Miles of Argentum, rising to his feet, "reluctant as I am to agree with the former first minister of Corcyrus, and doubtless one of the finest liars on Gor, I think it not impossible that he may have seen Sheila about in the palace, perhaps on her hands and knees scrubbing tiles in a... |
10 |
| 33 | 137 |
"With your permission, my Ubar," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 151 |
Miles of Argentum gestured to an officer. |
10 |
| 33 | 154 |
We now knelt naked and identically chained, side by side, before Claudius, the Ubar of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 171 |
"I submit, my Ubar," said Miles of Argentum, "that the woman on your left, she with the shorter hair, is she before whom I appeared in Corcyrus, when I brought, at your request, the scrolls of protest to that city". |
10 |
| 33 | 192 |
"Is it your intention to jeopardize our friendship, old comrade in arms?" inquired Miles of Argentum. |

"That is the woman whom I saw in Corcyrus when I carried there the scrolls of Argentum," said Miles, pointing to me. |
10 |
| 33 | 208 |
"My second witness," said Miles of Argentum, "is the woman who served her intimately in her own quarters, who bathed her and clothed her, and combed her hair, who was to her as her own personal serving slave, now one of my own slaves, Susan". |
10 |
| 33 | 210 |
How exquisite and beautiful, and well displayed she was, in the trim, tiny tunic that was the uniform of the girls of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 223 |
"As this girl is the property of Miles of Argentum," said Claudius to Drusus Rencius, "you may move that her testimony be discounted or be retaken, under torture". |
10 |
| 33 | 225 |
Drusus Rencius looked across the room to Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 226 |
"I will withdraw her testimony," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 231 |
I saw that Miles of Argentum did not wish to have Susan subjected to judicial torture, perhaps tormented and torn on the rack, even though it might validate her testimony and strengthen his case. |
10 |
| 33 | 250 |
"Do you regard it as likely, Susan," asked Miles of Argentum, "that that woman was the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" "Yes, Master," she said. |
10 |
| 33 | 258 |
"I call my next witness," said Miles of Argentum, "located in Venna by my men, and brought here, Speusippus of Turia". |
10 |
| 33 | 273 |
"Is she who was the Tatrix of Corcyrus in this room?" asked Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 288 |
"I took your virginity away!" "Am I to understand," asked Miles of Argentum, "that you are confessing to the rape of a free woman, one who was even a Tatrix?" Speusippus turned white. |
10 |
| 33 | 294 |
"Very well, Speusippus of Turia," said Miles of Argentum, "you may go". |
10 |
| 33 | 311 |
"Let it be noted," said Miles of Argentum, "that the witness unhesitantly identified her as Sheila, the former Tatrix of Corcyrus". |
10 |
| 33 | 314 |
"I call now my fourth witness," said Miles of Argentum, "Ligurious, former first minister of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 33 | 329 |
"The same who was on detached service to Argentum, and was engaged in espionage within the walls of Corcyrus?" asked Miles. |
10 |
| 33 | 352 |
"I did not know," said Publius, rising to his feet, "that it was for such a purpose I was invited to Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 353 |
As Miles of Argentum knows, I am the friend of Drusus Rencius. |
10 |
| 33 | 355 |
"You can deny, of course," said Miles of Argentum to Drusus Rencius, "that she whom you took to the house of Kliomenes was the same woman you were guarding as the putative Tatrix. |
10 |
| 33 | 363 |
"Let me then repeat my question," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 373 |
That woman is not the Tatrix! She sat upon the throne! She appeared in public as the Tatrix! She sat in court as the Tatrix! She conducted business as the Tatrix! She was known as the Tatrix! But she was not the Tatrix!" "Let us not ignore the evidence," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 375 |
What sort of evidence would you wish? How do we know, for example, that you are really Drusus Rencius, a captain from Ar? Or that I am Miles, a general from Argentum? Or that he is Ligurious, who was the first minister in Corcyrus? How do we know anyone in this room is who we think? Perhaps we are a... |
10 |
| 33 | 377 |
"I recall an earlier witness," said Miles of Argentum, "my slave, Susan". |
10 |
| 33 | 389 |
"She herself," said Miles of Argentum, "regarded herself as the Tatrix of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 33 | 404 |
How could I make such a man weak? "The evidence is clear," said Miles of Argentum to the Ubar, Claudius, to the members of the high council, to the others in the room. |
10 |
| 33 | 430 |
Claudius, the Ubar of Argentum, turned to Hassan. |
10 |
| 33 | 437 |
Indeed, it is their duty, in so far as they can, to protect Argentum against deception and fraud. |
10 |
| 33 | 498 |
"For example, it could have been put in the sack with her for a night, when she was being brought to Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 505 |
"That one garment," said Miles of Argentum, indicating a scarlet robe, with a yellow, braided belt, "appears to be that in which she put her curves on the day of my audience with her, that having to do with the scrolls of protest". |
10 |
| 33 | 509 |
"Yes," said Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 518 |
These garments, Ligurious had informed me in the throne room of Argentum, before placing me in the golden sack, from which I had been rescued by Drusus Rencius, had been smuggled out of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 33 | 559 |
"Perhaps you will be given two Ahn in which to leave Argentum," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 583 |
I deemed, accordingly, it might be of interest to venture incognito to Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 613 |
"My master is Miles of Argentum," I said. |
10 |
| 33 | 679 |
How, except for such power, could a barbarian woman, such as Sheila, the former Tatrix of Corcyrus, come to power in a city such as Corcyrus? I suspect, also, that the true motivation of the attack on the mines of Argentum was not to fill the coffers of Corcyrus, already a prosperous city, but to su... |
10 |
| 33 | 761 |
Gods, for example, I trust, do not have need of the silver of Argentum, nor do they have need of fiery ships for plying the long, dark roads between worlds. |
10 |
| 33 | 809 |
I became ambitious to expand the sphere of Corcyrus's influence and, in particular, to obtain, if possible, for my own wealth, the mines of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 824 |
The girl selected was the collared slave to my right, now the slave, as I understand it, of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 831 |
We did not think that Ar would honor its treaty commitments with Argentum, that it would risk all-out war with the Cosian Alliance, in which Corcyrus was implicated. |
10 |
| 33 | 832 |
As it turned out, of course, Ar did support Argentum and, as it also turned out, we were not supported by Cos. |
10 |
| 33 | 866 |
"True," said Ligurious, "but only at the cost of sacrificing the honor of Argentum". |
10 |
| 33 | 870 |
He has been guaranteed immunity in Argentum, and has been guaranteed a safe conduct from her walls". |
10 |
| 33 | 879 |
What a small thing would be his impalement compared to the stain on the escutcheon of Argentum. |
10 |
| 33 | 887 |
Then, and then only, will the pledge of Argentum be honored". |
10 |
| 33 | 891 |
"That is not the way of Argentum," smiled Claudius. |
10 |
| 33 | 894 |
"I had not realized the guarantees extended by Argentum," said Menicius. |
10 |
| 33 | 912 |
"In this sack," said Claudius, "carefully counted, but assure yourself of the matter, are fifteen hundred pieces of gold, stamped staters of Argentum, certified by the mint of the Ubar". |
10 |
| 33 | 1008 |
"It was you who freed me in the camp of Miles of Argentum!" "Once," he said, "you spared my life, in Corcyrus. |
10 |

That responsibility was that of Claudius, the Ubar of Argentum, and the high council. |
10 |

"I love you! I do love you! I love you with my whole heart!" "What is going on here?" asked Miles of Argentum, coming over to us. |

Miles of Argentum took the key to my chains from the soldier who had held it. |

Ligurious is Served by Two Slaves I lay naked on the couch of Ligurious, in the palace in Argentum. |
10 |

This was the last evening Ligurious was to spend in Argentum. |
10 |
| 34 | 158 |
She might have been a paga slave or a girl rented on a mat in the back streets of Argentum. |
10 |
| 34 | 204 |
"Yes," said Ligurious, "that sort of thing, precisely, and well would you have served such purposes had you not managed to escape from the camp of Argentum". |
10 |
| 34 | 211 |
There was indeed a minor purpose for which you were brought to Gor, that purpose which I called to your attention in the throne room, here in Argentum, that purpose which you now, you little she-sleen, obviously wish to hear explicitly reiterated". |
10 |
| 34 | 235 |
I, like many women, was owned by Miles of Argentum, whom I admired and respected, and feared, and to whom I could not help but yield helplessly and promptly, but whom I did not love. |
10 |
| 35 | 7 |
"Yes, Master," I said, and knelt, on the broad stair leading up to the serving dais in the private dining room in the palace at Argentum. |
10 |

Drusus Rencius and Publius did not have slaves of their own in Argentum. |
10 |

Susan and I had been volunteered by our master, Miles of Argentum, to serve them. |
10 |

Susan was younger and smaller than I but she, having seniority over me among the women of Miles of Argentum, was dominant over me. |
10 |

We had thought that he had come to Argentum on business, or perhaps to observe the performances of his Feast Slaves in this allied city. |

Speusippus had left Argentum on the day after the banquet, that in which the identity of Sheila had been determined. |

"Doubtless you told my master, Miles of Argentum, of the results of your experiment last night, that in which I was conclusively proven to be a natural slave". |

Last night, after I had served Publius and Drusus Rencius, I had been ordered to the couch of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |
| 36 | 117 |
Miles of Argentum, as is his wont, such a man, when he wishes, takes everything from a woman. |
10 |

"You have been empowered by Miles of Argentum to change my collar, have you not?" I asked. |

"And had you been there you could, later, have seen my body jerk in the hands of Miles of Argentum. |

Yet, too, he had, with Menicius, risked his life in the camp of Miles of Argentum to free me, and he had sought desperately to protect and defend me in the inquiry with Claudius and the high council. |
10 |

They had been brought to Argentum by Menicius, for the inquiry. |

I supposed that now, technically, they might be the property of the state of Argentum. |
10 |

"Yes!" She was now the slave of Miles of Argentum. |
10 |

Who but a slave might bear such a name? Was it not exciting? Did it not hint of the steel of slave bracelets, the smell of thongs, held against the face, the clash of bangles, the rustle of silk? What a delightful joke had Drusus Rencius played upon me, the beast, when he had thought me to be the Ta... |

"Miles of Argentum," I laughed, "when he saw me in Corcyrus, thought I would bring a whole silver tarsk! He, then, too, had only seen me fully clothed, clad in the full regalia of the Tatrix. |
