Thrown high the Gorean bola can lock a man's arms to his sides; thrown to the throat it can strangle him; thrown to the head, a difficult cast, the whipping weights can crush a skull. |
10 |
| 5 | 14 |
I suppose the Tuchuks worship nothing, in the common sense of that word, but it is true they hold many things holy, among them the bosk and the skills of arms, but chief among the things before which the proud Tuchuk stands ready to remove his helmet is the sky, the simple, vast beautiful sky, from ... |
10 |
| 7 | 32 |
For him there could no longer be the swift races across the frozen prairie; the meetings in arms; even the dancing to the sky about a fire of bosk dung. |
10 |
| 7 | 48 |
The man-at-arms placed Elizabeth Cardwell before us, and Kutaituchik, and drew away the pelt of the scarlet larl. |
10 |
| 7 | 51 |
The man-at-arms arranged her before us. |
10 |
| 7 | 63 |
He then looked at the man-at-arms. |
10 |
| 7 | 193 |
One or two of the men-at-arms immediately drew the quiva. |
10 |
| 7 | 238 |
Two warriors rushed forward and seized the girl under the arms, lifting her from the pelt. |
10 |
| 8 | 222 |
As the day grew late points were accumulated, but, to the zest and frenzy of the crowd, the lead in these contests of arms shifted back and forth, first being held by Kamchak and myself, then by Conrad and Albrecht. |
10 |
| 8 | 522 |
I then took Dina of Turia in my arms and, at some length, and with a certain admitted satisfaction, collected my winnings. |
10 |
| 8 | 523 |
Because she had annoyed me the kiss that was hers was that of master to a slave girl; yet was I patient because the kiss itself was not enough; I was not satisfied until, despite herself, I read in my arms her body's sudden, involuntary admission that I had conquered. |
10 |
| 8 | 611 |
The two girls, while Elizabeth Cardwell looked on angrily, knelt before Kamchak and myself, lowering their heads, lifting and extending their arms, wrists crossed. |
10 |
| 9 | 296 |
She stood facing us, beautiful, knees flexed, breathing deeply, arms lifted over her head, ready for the dance. |
10 |
| 10 | 54 |
I sprang from the saddle of the kaiila and kneeling beside her held her in my arms, pressing her head against my shoulder. |
10 |
| 10 | 82 |
But she was kissing me and by my arms was being lowered to the grasses of the spring prairie. |
10 |
| 10 | 218 |
Beside the tharlarion walked other men-at-arms, and even citizens of Turia, and more vendors and musicians, come to see the games. |
10 |
| 10 | 586 |
I rushed to Kamchak and threw my arms about him laughing and hugging him. |
10 |
| 11 | 105 |
Trembling Aphris of Turia, kneeling, lowered her head and extended her arms, wrists crossed. |
10 |
| 12 | 156 |
Then she knelt before him in the position of the Pleasure Slave and, head down, arms extended, offered him the crater. |
10 |
| 12 | 393 |
To the music, beautifully, it seemed the frightened figure ran first here and then there, occasionally avoiding imaginary objects or throwing up her arms, ran as though through the crowds of a burning city—alone, yet somehow suggesting the presence about her of hunted others. |
10 |
| 12 | 403 |
Then he removed his hands from her shoulders and, as the crowd cried out, she sank in abject misery at his feet and performed the ceremony of submission, kneeling, lowering the head and lifting and extending the arms, wrists crossed. |
10 |
| 12 | 488 |
I gathered her into my arms to comfort her but she pushed me away, and turned and ran from the enclosure. |
10 |
| 16 | 257 |
From a side, from a portal which had been concealed behind a hanging, two men-at-arms came forth, followed by two others. |
10 |
| 17 | 22 |
Harold and I, though bound, were each held by two men-at-arms, and another four, with crossbows, had accompanied us. |
10 |
| 17 | 49 |
Two of the men-at-arms left the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 56 |
This train of observation was interrupted by the arrival of Saphrar's two men-at-arms bearing a wooden barrier of sorts, about four and a half feet high and twelve feet wide, which they set between myself and my captors, and Saphrar, the Paravaci and those with the crossbow. |
10 |
| 17 | 75 |
While two men-at-arms continued to hold me, another undid the bonds on my wrists. |
10 |
| 17 | 76 |
Three men-at-arms, with crossbows, stood ready, the weapons trained on my back. |
10 |
| 18 | 10 |
If I could but reach it! With all my strength I moved towards it—an inch—and then another inch—my fingers stretched, my arms and back aching, until in another inch I might have grasped it and then, to my horror, as I reached in agony for the vine, it rustled and lifted itself ju... |
10 |
| 18 | 29 |
"You fat, filthy urt!" cried Harold, struggling in his bonds with the two men-at-arms who held him. |
10 |
| 18 | 102 |
We heard running feet approaching, those of several men, the clank of arms, the high-pitched, enraged screaming of Saphrar of Turia. |
10 |
| 19 | 9 |
"The streets will be searched," puffed Harold, "—immediately—by all the guardsmen and men-at-arms in the city". |
10 |
| 19 | 41 |
I also heard the running of feet, the sound of arms. |
10 |
| 20 | 32 |
Harold and I then got up and, with Hereena under one of his arms, we circumspectly made our way from roof to roof until we saw the keep, rising like a dark cylinder against one of Gor's three moons. |
10 |
| 20 | 56 |
Harold sped along the bridge, Hereena in his arms, and disappeared into the keep. |
10 |
| 20 | 99 |
Deftly, before she had fallen, Harold nipped Hereena from the guard's arms. |
10 |
| 21 | 147 |
"I am only a poor free woman," said she, "but might I not do?" I took her hands and drew her to me, and into my arms. |
10 |
| 21 | 153 |
Dina and myself attracted little attention from guardsmen or men-at-arms. |
10 |
| 21 | 233 |
I seized Dina of Turia in my arms. |
10 |
| 21 | 241 |
"You're hurting my arms," she cried. |
10 |
| 21 | 284 |
The wagon bosk, upset by the running men, the shouting and the clank of arms about them, were bellowing wildly and throwing their heads up and down, stomping and pawing in the dust. |
10 |
| 21 | 315 |
In an instant another five and then another and another had repeated this maneuver and soon, sometimes with squealing of kaiila and dismounting of riders as one beast or another would be crowded between the gates and the others, a Hundred and then another Hundred had hurtled howling into the city, b... |
10 |
| 21 | 316 |
About us there were the stamping paws of kaiila, the crying of men, the sound of arms, and always more and more Tuchuks striking the top of the wagon and bounding into the city uttering their war cry. |
10 |
| 21 | 339 |
He then unpinned her veil and took her in his arms, improving the time. |
10 |
| 21 | 354 |
I could hear in three or four places the clash of arms, the hiss of the bolts of crossbows, the answering feather-swift flight of the barbed Tuchuk war arrows. |
10 |
| 22 | 8 |
The city was largely without leadership, though here and there brave Turians had gathered guardsmen and men-at-arms and determined civilians and sealed off streets, forming fortresses within the city against the invaders. |
10 |
| 22 | 148 |
One beautiful Turian girl was thrown, weeping and bound, into the arms of a leather-clad Tuchuk for only seven copper tarn disks. |
10 |
| 23 | 65 |
We could hear the bosk horns forming their Hundreds, see the movements of the sunlight on their arms. |
10 |
| 23 | 133 |
Then again we heard the bosk horns and the Paravaci, in vast ranks, like sweeping crescents, like steel scythes of men and animals and arms, far extending beyond our own lines, began to move slowly towards us, gaining steadily in momentum and speed with each traversed yard of stained prairie. |
10 |
| 23 | 160 |
On the field we met and, as comrades in arms, we embraced one another. |
10 |
| 25 | 244 |
"Can it be," she asked, "that the commander of a Tuchuk Thousand does not know what to do with a girl such as I?" I reached toward her, to take her into my arms, but I found the bowl of wine in my way, deftly so. |
10 |
| 25 | 409 |
"That in my arms you would learn the meaning of a slave collar, that you would learn the meaning of being a woman". |
10 |
| 25 | 460 |
And then, as I knew she would, she suddenly knelt before me, in fury, head down, arms extended, wrists crossed, submitting as a Gorean female. |
10 |
| 25 | 585 |
"Array yourself in Pleasure Silk, Little Beast," I said, "and enter my arms". |
10 |
| 25 | 621 |
And yet this beautiful, soft, proud thing stood there, though ringed and branded, though collared, bold and brazen flinging at me, eyes bright, her challenge, the eternal challenge of the unconquered female, that of the untamed woman, daring the male to touch her, to try, she resisting, to reduce he... |
10 |
| 25 | 641 |
I indicated that she should enter my arms, and she did so. |
10 |
| 25 | 642 |
In my arms she looked up at me. |
10 |
| 25 | 726 |
"I find myself naked in the arms of a man and wearing the collar of a slave. |
10 |
| 25 | 755 |
"A true man," she cried out suddenly, "would not behave so! No! A true man is gentle, kind, tender, respectful, at all times, sweet and solicitous! That is a true man!" I smiled at her defenses, so classical, so typical of the modern, unhappy, civilized female, desperately frightened of being truly ... |
10 |
| 25 | 797 |
"I do not want to be a slave!" But when I had touched the most intimate beauties of her she became uncontrollable, writhing, and in my arms I knew the feeling of a slave girl and such, for the moment, was the beautiful Elizabeth Cardwell, helpless and mine, female and slave. |
10 |
| 25 | 798 |
Now her lips and arms and body, now those only of an enamored wench in bondage, sought mine, acknowledging utterly and unreservedly, shamelessly and hopelessly, with helpless abandon, their master. |
10 |
| 25 | 827 |
She did not move but I felt the cut of her nails in my arms. |
10 |
| 25 | 844 |
She did not move, and then suddenly I felt the cut of her nails deep in my arms, and though her lips were open, her teeth were clenched, her head was back, the eyes closed, her hair tangled under her and over her body, and then her eyes seemed surprised, startled, and her shoulders lifted a bit from... |
10 |
| 25 | 845 |
"Slave," she wept, "slave, slave, slave—I am a slave!" It was more than an Ahn later that she lay in my arms on the rug and looked up at me, tears in her eyes. |
10 |
| 25 | 899 |
Then she lifted her arms and put them about my neck, and lifted her lips to mine, tenderly, delicately. |
10 |
| 26 | 7 |
We had said nothing, but I had gathered her into my arms and kissed her, then left the wagon. |
10 |
| 26 | 21 |
I had taken her arms from about my neck and turned away. |
10 |
| 26 | 41 |
I heard the rustling of men below in the streets, the checking of arms. |
10 |
| 26 | 73 |
Rather, to my astonishment, a gate of the compound itself opened and wary men-at-arms, their weapons ready, each carrying a cloth sack, emerged. |
10 |
| 26 | 106 |
Then he stood back from the door, holding something large in his arms, wrapped in purple cloth. |
10 |
| 26 | 127 |
Again and again we encountered guards within the house but each time, when Saphrar took refuge behind them, Kamchak would throw gold to them and they would dissipate and Saphrar, panting, puffing, still clutching the large, purple-wrapped object in his arms, would on his short legs hurry off again. |
10 |
| 26 | 161 |
The other man with them was a young man, dark-haired and eyed, a simple man-at-arms, perhaps not more than twenty. |
10 |
| 26 | 561 |
When she had left my arms she had lain upon the rug and wept. |
10 |
| 26 | 570 |
I leaped from the back of the kaiila and ran toward the wagon and the girl waiting there cried out with joy and ran to me and I swept her into my arms and our lips met and she wept, "You are safe! You are safe!" "Yes," I said, "I am safe—and you are safe—and the world is safe!" At the ... |
10 |

The girls of the Wagon Peoples, of course, who had been enslaved, were freed; the others, however, save for some of Ko-ro-ba on whose behalf I spoke, would change their perfumed silks and their warmed, scented baths for the hardships of the trek, the care of bosk, and the arms of warrior masters. |
10 |
| 27 | 56 |
As one man the three Ubars raised their arms to him. |
10 |
| 27 | 130 |
She put her arms about my neck and kissed me. |
10 |
| 27 | 131 |
I kept her long in my arms, savoring the warmth of her lips, the delicacy of her tongue on mine. |
10 |
| 27 | 133 |
It was hard for me to believe that this marvelous, collared beauty in my arms was once a simple girl of Earth, that this astounding wench, Tuchuk and Gorean, was the same as Miss Elizabeth Cardwell, the young secretary who so long before had found herself inexplicably thrust into intrigues and circu... |
10 |
| 27 | 155 |
Gently, ever so gently, Kamchak put his hands on her arms and drew her to him and then, very softly, kissed her. |
10 |
| 28 | 69 |
Elizabeth Cardwell was weeping, and I put my arms about her, to comfort her, and to protect her from the blasts of the swift air. |

I threw back my head and laughed, and Cernus threw back his head and laughed, pounding on the arms of the curule chair, and the men-at-arms, too, roared with laughter. |

My return to the city was affecting, for here it was that my sword had been pledged to a Gorean Home Stone; here it was that I had trained in arms and learned Gorean; it was here that I had met my father, after long years of separation; it was here that I had made dear friends, the Older Tarl, Maste... |

Flaminius then locked one on the girl's right wrist and then, her arms through the bars, bent her arms back, put the other bracelet around one of the bars in the gate, above the horizontal bar at the top of the gate, and, on the outside of the gate, about her other wrist, the left, snapped shut the ... |

I took the girl into my arms, and pressed my lips to hers, as she lifted her arms and placed them about my neck. |

Her head went farther back, as her hands moved on the arms of the Warrior, as though once to press him away, and then again to draw him closer, and her head then touched the furs, her body a cruel, helpless bow in his hands, and then, her head down, it seemed she struggled and her body straightened ... |

"No! Wait! Here is something!" And, reaching down to his feet behind the counter, picked up the small animal mass that was Hup the Fool, which shrieked with fear, and hurled it into the arms of the man with missing teeth, who laughed. |
10 |
| 2 | 206 |
"Yes," said Portus, "but they do little—they are well paid, more than twice what was done before, but they spend the mornings in practices with arms, and the afternoons and evenings in the taverns, the gaming rooms and baths of the city". |
10 |
| 2 | 354 |
He gathered her in his arms, and she kissed him. |
10 |

I mumbled something, but she would hear nothing of it, and suddenly feeling her in my arms I laughed and held her to me, and she laughed, and whispered, "I love you, Tarl Cabot," and I said to her, "Kuurus, Kuurus—of the Caste of Assassins," and she said, "Yes, Kuurus—and poor Vella of... |

His large hands rested over the arms of the curved curule chair in which he sat, which was mounted on a platform of stone, about a foot high and twelve feet square. |

When I had spoken several of the men-at-arms of Cernus had shifted uneasily. |
10 |
| 4 | 39 |
Then she had submitted herself to the House of Cernus, kneeling before one of its agents, lowering her head, extending her arms, wrists crossed. |
10 |
| 4 | 48 |
There were cries of astonishment from the men-at-arms. |
10 |
| 4 | 61 |
"Who could kill Tarl of Bristol?" cried out a man-at-arms, not even thinking that Cernus had not acknowledged his right to speak. |
10 |
| 4 | 63 |
The men-at-arms looked at one another. |
10 |
| 4 | 67 |
The Older Tarl, the Koroban master of arms, and myself had found the body, and near it, the patch of green caught in a crack in the grillwork of one of the lamps on the bridge, where perhaps it had been torn from the shoulder of a running, stumbling man. |
10 |
| 4 | 96 |
"It is true," said one of the men-at-arms. |
10 |
| 4 | 116 |
"You will be shown to your quarters," said Cernus, gesturing to a nearby man-at-arms. |
10 |
| 4 | 117 |
I turned to follow the man-at-arms. |
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 | 161 |
One of Cernus' men-at-arms looked at him, to see if he wished him to secure her to one of the slave rings in the base of the platform for punishment. |
10 |
| 4 | 219 |
"You may lower your arms," he said to the girl. |
10 |
| 4 | 261 |
Then I turned and followed a man-at-arms, who would lead me to my quarters. |
10 |
| 5 | 108 |
She put her arms about my neck and lifted her eyes to mine. |
10 |
| 5 | 113 |
Suddenly she stepped back, threw back her head, thrust one leg to the side, and lifted her arms. |
10 |
| 5 | 118 |
She came to me and put her arms again about my neck. |
10 |
| 5 | 131 |
With a flourish I unrolled the furs, spilling Elizabeth out, who shrieked and began to crawl away, but my hand caught at the loop on the left shoulder of her garment and she turned suddenly, trying to sit up, her feet tangled in the garment and I kicked it away and took her in my arms. |
10 |
| 5 | 143 |
And, as the hour progressed, perform she did, and superbly so, and I knew that had I been a prospective buyer I would have bid high indeed for the skilled, sensuous little wench in my arms, so striving with all her quickness and beauty to please me. |
10 |

That evening, having missed the fourth feeding, she returned late to the quarters I was sharing with Misk, a number of plastic scrolls in her arms which she had managed to borrow from various humans in the Nest. |

In a short time, I found myself in the arms of my father, and my friends. |
10 |

There was a shout from the men-at-arms and members of the House who sat at the tables as the second slave, he who had scored the first point, managed to leave a long streak of blue down the inside of the right arm of the first slave. |
10 |
| 6 | 24 |
"Point!" called the man-at-arms, he with the whip, and the two slaves separated again, each going to their corners and crouching there in the sand, breathing heavily. |
10 |
| 6 | 40 |
"Point for both," announced the man-at-arms. |
10 |
| 6 | 52 |
"A kill!" cried the man-at-arms with the whip. |
10 |
| 6 | 55 |
Two men-at-arms rushed forward and put him in shackles. |
10 |
| 6 | 102 |
But Elizabeth, rightly or wrongly, was banished from my mind for the moment because I heard, from a side door, the rustle of slave bells, and was pleased to note that seven girls hurried in, using the short, running steps of the slave girl, arms to the side, palms out, head to the left, eyes averted... |
10 |
| 7 | 40 |
I swung myself into the basket, which I shared with two men-at-arms. |
10 |
| 7 | 55 |
Then I heard one of the men-at-arms say, "There!" The black disk approached, more slowly now, seeming to sense its way. |
10 |
| 7 | 57 |
"It is strange," whispered one of the men-at-arms, "that Priest-Kings must act with such secrecy". |
10 |
| 7 | 66 |
How can it be?" "It is the power of Priest-Kings," whispered one of the men-at-arms. |
10 |
| 7 | 107 |
He spoke to one of the men-at-arms. |
10 |
| 7 | 123 |
"What is this?" asked one of the men-at-arms. |
10 |
| 7 | 131 |
"Oh," said the man-at-arms. |
10 |
| 7 | 133 |
"Surely it is a forbidden weapon," said the man-at-arms. |
10 |
| 7 | 135 |
The man-at-arms shrugged and took the rifle, or crossbow as he thought of it, and surely the stock resembled that of a crossbow, and placed it in one of the carrying baskets. |
10 |
| 7 | 142 |
"How many slaves?" asked one of the men-at-arms. |
10 |
| 7 | 157 |
One of the men-at-arms laughed. |
10 |
| 7 | 186 |
"We return to the House of Cernus," said a man-at-arms, and I, and the others, entered our baskets or mounted our tarns. |
10 |
| 8 | 9 |
I laughed and swept her into my arms. |
10 |
| 8 | 108 |
There were some men in the room, mostly men-at-arms but some staff members, a Metal Worker, two Bakers and a pair of Scribes. |
10 |
| 8 | 161 |
I rolled over and seized her in my arms, but she turned her head away, and seemed determined that I should not kiss her. |
10 |
| 13 | 86 |
At that point, looking back once more, and noting that I was still moving quickly toward her, and not willing to lose a possible rare day's freedom, she began, with the marvelous, strong trained stroke of her legs and arms, to slice swiftly through the water. |
10 |
| 14 | 8 |
On such nights we would double beam the door and sleep in one another's arms. |
10 |
| 14 | 61 |
"In that time," I said, "the Others might carry their work far, establish new bases of influence, new stations, storehouses perhaps for arms". |
10 |
| 14 | 96 |
I took her gently in my arms and kissed her, and she put her head against my left shoulder. |
10 |
| 15 | 60 |
Then, after this instant of silence under the torches, the music struck the final note, with a mighty and jarring clash of cymbals, and the Warrior had lowered her to the furs and her lips, arms about his neck, sought his with eagerness. |
10 |
| 15 | 276 |
"I wonder what it would be like to be in the arms of a man," said Virginia. |
10 |

He had doubtless hired masters of arms because he wished to acquire skill in weapons, but I think, too, he may, even for years, have had in mind his investiture as Warrior. |
10 |
| 17 | 31 |
Now they crowded about me, laughing, seizing my arms. |
10 |
| 17 | 84 |
Then while the girls shrieked and the long-legged girl cried out in rage I swept her into my arms and leaped into the small room, where I dropped her to the stones and spun about, throwing the door shut and bolting it. |
10 |
| 17 | 116 |
I then took the cup from her and threw it to the side of the room, and took her into my arms, that lovely, long-legged, black-haired beast, provocative in the brevity of her slave livery, and kissed her, and well, and at length. |
10 |
| 17 | 125 |
This time when I finished with her I did not bind her but stood her before me, my hands on her arms above the elbows. |
10 |
| 17 | 141 |
But, as this lawlessness grew, and it became such that men would not walk the bridges without arms, the frenzy over the races and the games grew more rabid; it became rare on the streets and bridges to pass a person who would not, either for himself or for someone he knew, wear a faction patch, even... |

At last Virginia Kent, to the cheers of several of those present, sat atop Lana and was pummeling her mercilessly, until Lana, throwing up her arms and shrieking, crying out, begged for mercy. |

"Kajuralia," mumbled he, closing his arms upon her, devouring her. |
10 |

But instead of tugging on the loop, he simply, holding her under the arms, lifted her up, and then dropped her on her seat in the sand, where she sat foolishly, bewildered, looking up at him. |
10 |
| 17 | 414 |
I made sure I got my hands on Elizabeth Cardwell, though she dodged well and was a swift wench, and taking her in my arms carried her to one side. |

He took Sura in his arms weeping. |

Initiates, incidentally, are not permitted by their caste codes to bear arms; nor are they permitted to injure or kill; accordingly, they hire men for these purposes. |
