Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
16	102	I began to walk with a quickened pace, my heart began to beat powerfully, and I felt the elation of decision.	10
1	194	For the first time since I had opened the envelope, I began to lose my control.	10
2	105	At my father's insistence, I began to eat, reluctantly, never taking my eyes from him, hardly tasting the food, which was simple but excellent.	10
3	35	At first only Torm and my father were my teachers, but as I began to master the language of my new home, numerous others, apparently of Earth stock, assumed responsibility for my lessons in special areas.	10
4	8	The tarn was circling the cylinder, uttering piercing cries; then he began to fly away from the city.	10
4	41	The great tarn snapped his wings out, catching the air under them, and smoothly began to fly a straight course, his wings beating slowly but steadily in a cruising speed that would soon take us far beyond the towers of the city.	10
4	173	The Older Tarl immediately went to the maps, and, calling me to his side, began to pore over them, pointing out this mark and that.	10
5	183	The tarn spun about and began to favor the injured wing.	10
6	8	My heart began to beat wildly, and I considered the facility with which I might yet wing my way from Ar.	10
6	137	It began to withdraw toward the mouth of the beast.	10
6	142	Then it splashed on its back in the water, rolled quickly onto its legs, and began to move its head in rapid scanning motions.	10
6	204	The mandibles began to close on her throat like the blades of giant scissors.	10
7	211	In fury the hands of the Ubar's daughter began to fumble with the hooks of her heavy robes.	10
8	3	The soldier, beginning at the high, ornate collar of the girl's robes, began to break the braided loops, ripping them loose from their hooks; methodically he tore her robes apart and pulled them down and over her shoulders; in half a dozen tugs the heavy layers of her garments had been jerked downwa...	10
8	162	I began to divide the rations I had taken from the pouches of the soldiers.	10
11	84	There was a sudden bright clash of the finger cymbals, and, to the music of the nearby tent, Talena, daughter of the Ubar of Ar, began to dance for me.	10
12	57	The current soon caught it, and it began to spin in slow circles farther and farther out into the midst of that vast force of nature called the Vosk.	10
12	78	The sun swept into the sky again, and my second day on the Vosk began.	10
12	102	I began to drop toward the wastes below.	10
13	31	The tail of the animal began to lash angrily.	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	54	The spearhead disappeared from sight in the furry breast of the larl, and the shaft of the spear began to sink into it as the weight of the animal forced it deeper into its body.	10
14	66	The tarnsmen began to unlock the shackles, that I might be impaled freely on the lance, perhaps so that my struggles might provide a more interesting spectacle to the onlookers.	10
14	147	I swung myself up and began to climb one of the two ropes leading to the great bird above me.	10
15	74	He came through the opening, dropped his helmet on the sleeping mat, and began to unsling his sword.	10
16	26	Simultaneously, exposed chains of siege slaves began to move the stake lines forward.	10
16	28	It began several hours before dawn, as the giant siege towers, covered now with plates of steel to counter the effect of fire arrows and burning tar, were slowly rolled across the ditch bridges.	10
18	39	Soon the great winches were in motion and, foot by foot, the frightful netting of tarn wire began to sag.	10
18	84	He then reached his beak out to an apparently blank wall and withdrew it, repeating this three or four times, and then began to walk back and forth, snapping his wings impatiently.	10
18	86	I began to examine the wall with fierce closeness.	10
18	110	Then, to my pleasure, instead of alighting, the tarn dropped a few feet down from the ceiling and began to streak through the tunnel, the energy bulbs flashing past me to form in my wake a gleaming chain of light.	10
18	128	I climbed the stairs that led to the portal into the cylinder, turned the valve, and as soon as the portal began to move, raced down to the tarn cot and swung open that barred gate which lay nearest the foot of the stairs.	10
18	150	I heard someone shout, a weird, terrified cry, "Tarns!" An alarm bar, a hollow metal tube struck by hammers, began to ring in frenzy.	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	157	I began to press forward in attack, exposing myself more, but beating back his defense by the sheer weight and number of my blows.	10
19	192	Then I seized the initiative and began to force him back.	10
20	48	Slowly, with agony, I began to believe that it had indeed been nothing but the cruelest of dreams and that I was now once again coming to my senses.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	13	Here and there swarms of night insects began to stir, lifting themselves under the leaves of bushes by the road.	10
3	109	Zosk uttered an inarticulate cry, and began to stumble backwards.	10
4	42	Black, scudding clouds again obscured the three moons of Gor, and the wind began to rise.	10
5	1	The Valley of Ko-Ro-Ba I began to climb now.	10
5	98	It seemed as though the entire inside of his head began to burst and burn, to bubble like some horrid viscous lava inside the crater of his skull.	10
5	102	As I began to cover it with rocks, I noted the remains of the skull, now little more than a handful of shards.	10
7	137	And then, as Thorn and the warrior picked up the litter with their wounded companion and began to depart, she said to me, "Good-bye, Tarl of Ko-ro-ba".	10
8	94	For no good reason I began to dislike him.	10
11	1	Lara, Tatrix of Tharna I passed through the opening, and painfully began to climb a small, circular passage, staggering with each step under the weight of the heavy metal yoke.	10
11	209	Terror, like a trapped cat, seemed to scratch behind his eyes, and he began to shake in his yoke like a diseased animal.	10
12	128	She began to weep.	10
13	65	The hand of the Tatrix lifted slightly, almost languorously, from the arm of her throne, and the race began.	10
13	104	And so Kron and I began to circle one another, slightly bent so that the projections on the yoke might be used to best advantage.	10
14	157	There were cries of rage that drifted up from below as the silver masks of Tharna began to understand that they had been cheated of their prey, that the Amusements had turned out badly.	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	12	The great bird veered to the left and began to climb slightly.	10
15	14	"Four-strap!" I called, and the bird began to drop toward the earth, preparing to land.	10
15	15	"One-strap!" I laughed, delighted, bursting with pleasure, and the plumed giant, that titan of Gor, began to climb steeply.	10
15	60	Standing between the Tatrix and the winged carnivore, I cried "Tabuk!" It began to stalk toward the girl, who rose to her knees, her back pressed against the unyielding wall of the cliff, and screamed.	10
15	267	Then, holding her in one arm, and fastening one hand deep in the quills of the tarn's neck, I called "One-strap!" and the beast sprang from the ledge and began climbing.	10
17	28	I took them and began to chew on them.	10
18	54	It began simply enough at the feeding trough.	10
18	55	Then I began to encourage them to speak to one another, and to call one another by their names, and their cities, and though there were men of different cities there, they shared the same chain and trough, and they accepted one another.	10
18	63	The Whip Slaves wondered, and began to fear us.	10
18	117	"Pull!" I cried, and the hundred slaves in the long room began to draw on the chains.	10
18	133	We heard him in the shaft, grunting, gasping, the sounds of chains scraping on stones as he began the torturous inch by inch ascent.	10
18	144	Then the first man on the chain supported his own weight, and the second, chains rattling, began to ascend the vertical tunnel, supported by he who was third, who now stood on the back of the fourth man, and so it continued.	10
18	146	The first began his torturous ascent once more, followed by the second and third.	10
19	52	Determined dark shapes, agile with the fury of hope, began to climb the chain toward the moons above.	10
20	96	Protesting, screaming, the great bird began to reel helplessly downward.	10
20	102	Then to my wonder, the valiant creature began once more to climb, determined to regain the altitude he had lost.	10
21	31	She began to shake uncontrollably and her head fell forward in despair.	10
23	191	* * * * We began to work our torturous way through the grim, bloodstained streets of Tharna.	10
23	223	The voices of these haggard but transformed men began to sing.	10
24	42	"Andreas!" cried Linna, and she made as if to slap him for his insolence, but he quieted her with a kiss, and she playfully began to nibble at the bread clenched between his teeth.	10
24	56	Other girls now appeared among the tables, clad only in a camisk and a silver collar, and sullenly, silently, began to serve the Kal-da which Kron had ordered.	10
24	59	Their look said to her why are you not clad as we are, why do you not wear a collar and serve as we serve? To my surprise Lara removed her cloak and took the pot of Kal-da from one of the girls and began to serve the men.	10
24	63	Linna arose and now began to help with the serving.	10
24	134	Singing, the rebels began to climb the steep avenue.	10
24	151	Once again I began to approach the rampart.	10
24	250	I did not listen to their protests but saying no more began my torchlit journey through the now-darkened labyrinth of the palace corridors.	10
24	251	My memory and sense of direction began to carry me unerringly from hall to hall, guiding me swiftly toward the Chamber of the Golden Mask.	10
26	33	In the streets of Tharna shortly after the end of the revolt the caste colors of Gor began to appear openly in the garments of the citizens.	10
26	34	The marvelous glazing substances of the Caste of Builders, long prohibited as frivolous and expensive, began to appear on the walls of the cylinders, even on the walls of the city itself.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
10	95	And then to my amazement the creature, resting back on its posterior appendages, began to shake, beginning at its abdomen and continuing upward through its trunk to its thorax and head and at last its antennae began to tremble and, curling, they wrapped about one another.	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
24	37	Now the Beetle began to poke its head out from beneath the shelter of those domed, golden wings and its short antennae, tufted with golden fluff, thrust out and began to explore the chamber.	10
30	190	But not long after this took place other Priest-Kings, startled by the decision of Kusk, began to speak of ending the War, and some others too began to cross the lines.	10
32	10	Now the bubbling mass inside the purple globe began to burn through the globe itself and there were cracking sounds and rivulets of thick, hissing substance, like blue lava, began to press through the breaks in the globe.	10
2	31	The blood vessels in their necks and legs and arms began to distend until I feared they might burst open through the tortured flesh; the agonized muscles of their straining knotted bodies, like swollen leather, seemed to fill with pain as if pain were a fluid; their flesh seemed to fuse with the woo...	10
2	60	Gradually the air grew more chill and wisps of snow blew about me; frost began to appear on the steps and I trudged past crevices filled with ice, deposits which had perhaps lain as they were without melting for hundreds of years.	10
4	34	Then he began to fumble with the wallet which was slung from his belt, and removed a plastic envelope.	10
4	42	Parp began to puff away contentedly on a new supply of tobacco.	10
4	55	Then I began to feel rage creeping like hot, red vines through my blood.	10
4	59	I began to feel all the hatred of all the years that I had nursed against the Priest-Kings now uncontrollably, slowly, violently growing in my body, wild, fierce, those foliating scarlet vines of my fury that now seemed to encircle me, to enfold me, to engulf me, swelling, steaming, now writhing afl...	10
5	96	I began to carry her toward the portal.	10
5	152	When she was within perhaps a yard of the exit the small red domes began to glow.	10
5	185	Once more the rounded domes began to glow.	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	8	I did not answer her but began to prowl down the hallway.	10
7	26	When she approached the portal its sensors began to glow and pulse as had Vika's.	10
7	102	Maddened beyond understanding I began to race down the passageway, retracing my steps to confront what might be in the passage.	10
8	24	Then, methodically, I began to search the room.	10
8	103	Vika returned with the towel and began dabbing at my face.	10
8	129	With the tip of her finger she began to work the ointment into the cuts.	10
8	144	The cessation of attacks on Ko-ro-ba began during the time my father, Matthew Cabot, was Ubar of that city.	10
9	244	Almost simultaneously a mechanically reproduced voice began to emanate from the translator.	10
10	56	The Priest-King rested back on the two posterior supporting appendages and with a small cleaning hook behind the third joint of one of his forelegs began to comb his antennae.	10
11	19	His head turned, his laterally opening jaws opened and closed slowly, his shoulders rustled and the two antennae twitched once as though in irritation, and then idly they began to examine the roof of the dome.	10
11	121	Scarcely had they placed their weight on the disk when it began to smoothly and silently accelerate down the long ramp which led toward the bottom of the canyon.	10
14	33	Then the entire cage, on a track of some sort, began to move through an opening which appeared in the right wall.	10
14	36	At last after I, sputtering and choking, had been duly cleansed and rinsed several times, and then it seemed several times again, the cage began to move slowly, mercifully, between vents from which blasts of hot air issued, and, eventually, it passed slowly between an assortment of humming projectio...	10
14	186	He broke the end of the rod off and it began to burn with a bluish flame.	10
15	6	One side of my face began to sweat.	10
16	166	My old hatred of Vika now began once again to infuse my blood, and my hands ached to grip her and shake her until her bones might break and then throw her to my feet.	10
18	175	"Good," said Sarm, and we began to trace our way downward around that vast bluish globe that sheltered the power source of Priest-Kings.	10
19	39	"Long ago," said Sarm, "in Nests long before this one, in times of which you cannot conceive, it was by means of these small things that my people began the journey that led in time to Priest-Kings".	10
20	89	The other went to a panel at the side of the room and by pushing certain buttons and, turning a dial, began to lower the globe object down toward the girl's head.	10
20	137	Obediently the attendant on the disk lightly jumped down and began to push the disk and its cylinder from the room.	10
21	56	While the creatures remaining on the floor continued their mournful paean, their fellow creatures on the walls and ceiling, still carrying their torches, and scattering wild shadows of their own bodies and those of swollen Priest-Kings against the ceiling, began to fill their golden vessels from the...	10
21	68	The Priest-King, escorted by Muls, then began to move slowly, step by majestic step, down the passage outside of the chamber.	10
22	2	Putting the torch in my teeth, I began to climb the bars rapidly.	10
22	6	Still holding the Mul-Torch in my teeth because I wanted both hands free I began to make my way toward Misk, hand and foot, across these metal extensions.	10
24	35	It began to hiss.	10
24	42	When the creature, following me, crawled over the pile of soiled moss and stems on which Vika had lain, it stopped and began to poke about among the shattered remains of the eggs I had crushed.	10
24	43	I had no notion of the speed of the creature but at this point I turned and began to jog away down the passage, back toward the entrance to the tunnels of the Golden Beetle.	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	5	It began to back away from me on its six short legs.	10
25	9	The Mul-Torch began to sputter.	10
25	37	I turned and with the girl in my arms began to trace my way slowly down the passage.	10
25	92	Once in the shaft I rebuckled the belt about my waist and, still carrying Vika as before, began to climb.	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	7	I began to move the grille at one corner to allow us to drop to the floor beneath in the Vivarium chamber.	10
27	59	I quickly turned the disk down a side tunnel and began to hunt for a ventilator shaft.	10
27	149	Slowly the Priest-Kings began to circle one another in a ritual more ancient perhaps even than the Feast of Tola, a ritual perhaps older than even the days and objects celebrated by the string of metal tools that hung jangling about the neck of Sarm.	10
27	152	Sarm broke away and began to circle again, and Misk turned slowly, watching him, his antennae still flattened.	10
27	170	Then, with a force that might have been that of clashing, golden glaciers, Misk's jaws tightened and turned and suddenly Sarm was thrown to his back beneath him and in the instant Sarm struck the floor Misk's jaws had slipped their grip to the thick tube about which hung the string of Tola's silveri...	10
27	256	I hardly saw it coming but an instant before its flight began I had seen the tremor of a fiber in his shoulder and I knew the signal for its strike had been transmitted.	10
27	266	I saw that several Priest-Kings who stood behind him began to edge forward.	10
27	362	Then before my horrified eyes the carcass of that ancient she began to shiver and tremble and I stood back as she struggled to my amazement to her feet and reared herself to the height of a Priest-King, her antennae extended to their very lengths as though grasping, clutching, trying to sense someth...	10
28	136	Al-Ka guided the transportation disk out of the Vivarium and we began the journey toward Misk's compartment, the Gur Carriers following overhead.	10
28	162	And so it was that the former Muls, humans, bringing with them the basic food supplies of the Nest, began to flock to the side of the Priest-King Misk and his few cohorts.	10
28	170	In the third week of the War, equipped with the armored transportation disks, we began to carry the battle to the forces of Sarm, though they still outnumbered us greatly.	10
29	47	To my joy I saw the metal blacken and burst apart like swollen tin as I passed beneath it and began to climb rapidly toward the belly of the second craft which I ripped open with a sizzling burst of fire.	10
29	48	The first craft began to turn slowly, uncontrollably, in the air and then plunged toward the ground.	10
29	98	The ship of Sarm passed overhead like a hawk and then began to circle.	10
29	118	It was locked! The ship began to bank.	10
29	138	It began to shiver.	10
30	43	It seemed the ceiling began to rotate.	10
30	73	Misk's Priest-Kings began to leave their hiding places and their posts of vantage and come into the streets, their bodies inclining forward, their antennae dipped in the direction of the lure of the Beetles.	10
30	78	In the next days the Golden Beetles began, naturally enough in their hunt for food, to drift toward those portions of the Nest occupied by Sarm's Priest-Kings, for in those portions of the Nest they encountered no shouting humans, no jabbing cattle goads.	10
30	185	Meanwhile, slowly, incredibly, the War in the Nest began to turn against Sarm.	10
31	20	And then we began to walk slowly towards one another again across the square tiles of that plaza in the secret Nest of Priest-Kings.	10
31	126	Then Sarm seemed to lose interest in me, perhaps thinking I had been slain, more likely to conserve the charge in the silver tube for more important matters, for he then began, methodically, to fire at the paneling across from the dome, destroying one area after another.	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	142	As he did so, I began to climb once more.	10
31	155	One wall to the left began to crumble, fitted stone from its sides edging outwards and breaking loose to clatter down the ramps and tumble even to the floor so far beneath.	10
32	17	There was a great splitting sound and the entire side of the globe cracked open and began to pour forth its avalanche of thick, molten fluid into the room.	10
32	27	Together Misk and I, as the blue lavalike mass began to hiss over the rubble bubbling towards us, forced aside the great block of stone and Misk tenderly gathered up the broken carcass of Sarm in his forelegs and he and I sped toward the opening, and the blue molten flux of burning, seething, hissin...	10
32	64	I saw Kusk in the distance, and both Al-Ka and Ba-Ta, followed by their women, began to walk towards him.	10
32	132	More than anything I began to be exasperated with Misk and Kusk.	10
32	259	He began to pinch some tobacco from the pouch he wore at his belt.	10
32	261	He began to try to stuff the tobacco into the bowl of the pipe.	10
32	292	He seemed to float down to the floor and, touching one sandaled foot to the ground only every twenty yards or so, began to leave the chamber in slow dreamlike bounds.	10
32	301	He threw the switch again and the portal began to roll down but one of the larls with a wild roar threw himself towards it and got half his body and one long, raking clawed paw under it.	10
32	332	"Good," said Parp, not flinching, "follow me!" Vika screamed and I cried out for him to stop, but Parp dashed forward and threw himself into the jaws of the startled larl and it lifted him in its jaws and began to shake him savagely, and I was at its feet and thrust my sword between its ribs, plungi...	10
33	64	Then he began to mumble prayers very quickly in archaic Gorean, a language in which the Initiates converse among themselves and conduct their various ceremonies.	10
33	76	A wild, glad shout broke from the throats of the assembled multitude as the men suddenly began to understand that their world was returning to its normal order.	10
33	83	Then somewhat to his momentary embarrassment the wind shifted again and the smoke began to blow away from the Sardar and out towards the crowd.	10
33	88	Now, as the crowd rejoiced and began to disband, I knew that I was no longer important, that I was only another indication of the mercy of Priest-Kings, that someone—who had it been?—had returned from the Sardar.	10
34	10	I swept him off his feet and spun him around and the robes flew from his head and Torm of the Caste of Scribes cried aloud in joy and that sandy hair wheeled in the wind and tears ran sideways down his face and he never lost hold of the scroll although he nearly batted the Older Tarl with it in one ...	10

26	136	The two sleen seemed to drink in the scent of the robe and then they began to tremble, and the claws on their wide, soft feet emerged and retracted, and their heads lifted and began to sway from side to side.	10
1	61	Then I began to feel, through the soles of my sandals, the trembling of the earth.	10
1	67	I began to walk toward the dust in the distance, across the trembling ground.	10
3	114	Then, slowly, the four riders began to walk their mounts about the lance, watching it, right hands free to seize it should it begin to fall.	10
4	20	Warily now the animal began to circle, in an almost human fashion, watching the spear.	10
4	36	Slowly, singing in a guttural chant, a Tuchuk warrior song, he began to swing the bola.	10
7	23	Kutaituchik, not taking his eyes off us, thrust one end of the green kanda string in the left side of his mouth and, very slowly, began to chew it.	10
7	241	She began to scream.	10
8	42	The animals began to die and the keening of women, crying as though the wagons were burning and the Turians upon them, carried over the prairies.	10
8	45	At last, seventeen days after the first snows, the edges of the herds began to reach their winter pastures far north of Turia, approaching the equator from the south.	10
8	47	Still farther north, another hundred pasangs, there was no snow and the peoples began to sing and once more dance about their fires of bosk dung.	10
8	264	I saw a flash of copper, perhaps a tarn disk from one of the distant cities, and one of the warrior's girls, an attractive Turian wench, Tuka, began to remove her fur.	10
8	308	The crowd began to cry out, to cheer, urging her on.	10
8	312	At the count of ten Conrad began to slowly spin the bola.	10
8	319	She must then have counted about three beats to herself, and then she began to break her running pattern, moving to one side and the other, making it difficult to approach her swiftly.	10
8	473	I began to swing the bola.	10
8	474	To my amazement, as I swung the bola in ever faster circles, never taking my eyes off her, she broke the straight running pattern only about fifty yards from the whip circle, and began to dodge, moving always, however, toward the lance.	10
8	503	The crowd was silent, then, suddenly, as unexpectedly as a clap of thunder, they began to roar and cheer.	10
8	506	Looking at me in rage, she began to pull and squirm in the thongs, twisting in the grass.	10
9	102	I picked it up and began to chew on it.	10
9	153	I began to tremble, but held the table, and, I believe, betrayed no sign of my inward excitement.	10
9	196	Now she descended the last three stairs and, stopping to nod her head and grace an eager fellow here and there along the tables with a word or gesture, she began to approach the head of the table.	10
9	218	Aphris nodded her head to the Feast Steward and he sent the acrobats running and tumbling from the room and the musicians began to play soft, honeyed melodies.	10
10	52	Suddenly she began to shake with sobs and fell to her knees at the paws of the kaiila, the gold piece in her left hand.	10
10	224	Immediately the lances of the lines lowered and the hundreds of tharlarion, hissing and grunting, their riders shouting, the drums beating, began to bound rapidly towards us.	10
10	302	I hauled Kamchak out of the wagon before he began to bid on a chained-up little wench from Port Kar who had taken his eye.	10
10	443	Two men, from Ar, I took it, came forward with rakes and began to smooth the circle of sand between the stakes, for it had been somewhat disturbed in the inspection of the girls.	10
10	553	Kamras then began to chase Kamchak about the ring of sand.	10
11	257	I now began to understand why there were often problems in a wagon with more than one girl.	10
12	184	Elizabeth clapped her hands with pleasure and began to consider the camisk.	10
12	307	She exhaled slowly as if fire might be sizzling out instead of breath and then she shook, a delayed reaction, as if she had been thumped five times and then began to cough spasmodically and painfully until I, fearing she might suffocate, pounded her several times on the back.	10
12	392	Then the musicians began, the drums first, a rhythm of heartbeat and flight.	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
16	117	Immediately we heard the sound of several men leaping down to the street and the draw cords on the wire net—probably of the sort often used for snaring sleen—began to tighten.	10
17	19	I noted that the surface of the pool, shortly after we had entered, began to tremble slightly, and it was then once again calm.	10
18	3	My legs began to tingle and sting, and I could feel the skin beginning to be etched and picked by the corrosive elements now attacking them.	10
18	5	Wildly, with the useless quiva, I began to slash and pick at the damp, thick stuff about me.	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	64	My lungs began to scream for air.	10
18	67	It seemed that the living, amorphous globe of matter which I struck began to move away, slithering away in the yellow fluids, but I pursued it, one hand in the torn membrane and continued to slash and tear at 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
19	16	He picked up a stalk of a patch of violet grass, one of several hues used in such gardens, and began to chew on it.	10
19	75	I immediately began to worry that that girl would be the one who would strike Harold's eye.	10
19	192	Her eyes regarded him wildly over the colored scarf and her entire body began to squirm savagely.	10
20	43	When we were sure there were at least two tarns on the roof of the keep I leaped down from the roof and landed on the light bridge, struggling to retain my footing as it began to swing under my feet.	10
20	63	I turned and began to hack at the ropes that bound the swaying bridge to the tower.	10
20	84	"My plan exactly," said Harold, "but first should you not teach me to master the tarn?" I heard Hereena moan with horror and she began to struggle madly to free herself of the scarves that bound her.	10
20	148	Immediately the huge bird's wings began to beat and it sprang skyward.	10
21	218	Then, irrationally, he put his shoulder under the wagon box and began to push up, trying to right the wagon, surely an impossible task for one man.	10
21	294	The man on my left now began to move around me to my left while the other continued to press me from the front.	10
22	37	We came to a high, walled structure and began walking about it.	10
22	120	Obediently the captive Turians began to put food in their mouths.	10
22	139	More foods and wines were served, and even the high men of Turia, at quiva point, were forced to drink heavily and some began to mumble and weep, while the feasters grew, to the barbaric melodies of the musicians, ever more merry and wild.	10
23	74	But the Paravaci neither sent forth small groups nor contingents of archers, but formed and, en masse, riding over the bodies of their fallen comrades, began to approach the herd slowly, to move through it, slaying them as they went, and close with us.	10
23	75	Once again our bosk horns sounded and this time my Thousand began to cry out and jab the animals with their lances, turning them toward the Paravaci.	10
23	77	Now the bosk began to move more swiftly, bellowing and snorting.	10
23	123	Some of the Tuchuks began to sing the Blue Sky Song, the refrain of which is that though I die, yet there will be the bosk, the grass and sky.	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
25	184	I began to regret my decision in freeing her.	10
25	331	Then she began to comb her long dark hair, kneeling very straight as would a Gorean girl.	10
25	472	She began to rise to her feet.	10
25	710	I began to kiss her throat and body and my hands were behind her back, lifting her and arching her, so that her head was back and down.	10
25	752	"It means nothing!" I then began to kiss her foot, and the inside of her ankle, beneath the bone, and she trembled momentarily.	10
25	770	When her struggles had subsided I began, half biting, half kissing, to move up her calf to the delights of the sensitive areas behind her knees.	10
25	774	Slowly, with my mouth, by inches, I began to claim her.	10
26	126	In the main hall he looked about and then, Harold and I following, and the man with the two sleen, and the slaves with gold, and his archers and other men, he began to walk his kaiila forward, across the broad marble tiles, following the terrified Saphrar of Turia.	10
26	142	Kamchak now gave his kaiila to a subordinate and, on foot, carrying torch and quiva, began to prowl down the passage, beside him the two snarling sleen, behind him Harold and I, and the rest of his men, several with torches, even the slaves with gold.	10
26	352	He began to scratch and tear at his body, as if mad.	10
26	371	The torch was brought, and the pool seemed to discharge its vapor more rapidly, and the fluids began to churn, and draw away from our edge of the pool.	10
26	375	The pool began to roar and hiss and bubble and scatter parts of itself, flaming, into the air and again to the walls.	10
26	441	I began to shake in the saddle of the kaiila, trembling.	10
26	545	Harold began to pound his saddle and howl with laughter.	10
27	203	Kamchak turned his kaiila and began to ride toward the main gate, the rest of us following.	10
28	68	"Good fortune attend you, Tarl Cabot, Commander of a Thousand Tuchuks, Warrior of Ko-ro-ba!" I lifted my hand to them and then drew on the one-strap and the wings of the great tarn began to strike the resistant air and the Tuchuks on all sides fell back stumbling in the dust and the driven wind smot...	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
5	114	Then, eyes closed, not moving, except the heel of the right foot, which beat the rhythm, she began to hum a Tuchuk slave song; on the second measure, her hands came to her hips and she opened her eyes, looking at me; on the third measure, her body began to move and, to the melody, she began to sway ...	10
6	108	Now the girls in white tunics began to serve the strong beverages of Gor, and the festivities of the evening began.	10
13	79	I gather, from the sound of a fellow watching us, that she began to swim again when I began to follow her.	10
1	40	His forehead began to sweat.	10
2	90	The men began to hunt about the room, angrily.	10
2	135	The men in the tavern, and the girls, began to move away from the tables.	10
2	219	The heavy man, sitting cross-legged, opposite the Assassin, began to sweat, fiddled with the damp blue and yellow silk covering his knee, and then with a nervous hand lifted a shaking bowl of paga to his lips, spilling some down the side of his face.	10
3	60	I was surprised, and looked more closely, as the Vintner took the wallet filled with game pieces from the man's shoulder and began, with his stubby fingers, to quickly arrange the pieces.	10
3	131	Late in the game, the Player seemed to rally, and the Vintner began to sweat, and rubbed his fingers together, and held his head in his hands, studying the board as though he would bore through it with his gaze.	10
3	203	"Aii!" I cried, though the outburst was scarcely in keeping with the somber black I wore, and an instant later the Tarn Keeper and the Saddle Maker cried out, and began to stamp their feet in the dust, and pound their fists against their left shoulders.	10
3	206	Then the Vintner began to howl with pleasure and slap his knees so pleased he was at the wonder of it, though he himself was the victim.	10
3	246	He then turned away, and began to grope his way from the place of the game.	10
4	239	I then began to suspect that my gamble, based on the often unpleasant sense of humor common among slavers, might begin to bear fruit.	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	68	I then took the two dangling cords and began to tie what must have seemed to her an incredible knot.	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	277	Slowly, numbly, she began to make sounds, saying what came into her head.	10
5	502	Before we began our dangerous journey, however, at Misk's suggestion, both Elizabeth and I returned to Ko-ro-ba, that we might rest some days and, in a peaceful interlude, share our affections.	10
5	630	I went over to her knot and she went over to mine, and each began, carefully, movement by movement, to check the other's knot.	10
6	28	Cernus began to arrange the pieces once more on the board.	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
6	109	The Musicians began to play, and the girls in Pleasure Silk, hands over their heads, lifted themselves slowly to the melody, their bodies responding to it as though to the touch of a man.	10
6	123	Obediently the music began again, and again the girls moved to the music, though I could see they did so poorly now, and were frightened.	10
7	71	The ship then began to ease toward the shelf, moving perhaps no more rapidly than a man might walk.	10
7	152	One of the girls began to stir uneasily, perhaps sensing the difference in temperature and air.	10
8	31	I began to nibble at the loop on the left shoulder of her slave livery.	10
11	80	She lifted it to her lips and began to eat, trembling.	10
11	84	We began to go up to the third level.	10
12	159	I rose from my seat and began to make my way to the exit.	10
12	206	Phyllis Robertson threw back her head and screamed helplessly, and then she, too, began to sob, trembling, when the guard, Strius, released her from the rack and put her with Virginia.	10
12	234	The tip began to glow, a bright yellow.	10
12	355	The tip began to glow brightly.	10
12	367	* * * * I left the tiers of the racing stadium and began to walk down the long, sloping stone ramp, level by level.	10
12	391	I reached out and began to walk after him but I stumbled into the body of Hup the Fool, spilling his tray of candies.	10
13	71	She looked at me and laughed, and then, on her back, began to move gracefully toward the opposite end of the pool.	10
13	78	At that moment I began to swim.	10
13	80	Apparently, from what I later learned, she began to swim slowly on her back until it became clear to her that I was gaining with some swiftness.	10
13	81	Then she rolled onto her stomach and began to stroke easily toward the far edge, looking back now and then.	10
13	82	In a matter of about ten Ihn, however, seeing me approach ever more closely, she began to move with a deliberate, swift ease.	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
13	162	She began again to massage my back.	10
14	165	She then, head down, began to back lightly away.	10
14	172	The girl in chains strode to her and seized her by the collar, at which point the kitchen slave began to whine and weep, trying to draw back, to turn her head away.	10
15	215	At last, after this cruel and almost interminable repetition, utilizing simple psychological principles, intended to brand into the girls' psyche the identity of a Pleasure Slave, the girls began the period of exercises, many of which would, for certain periods of the day, be carried through the nex...	10
16	15	Cernus celebrated his investiture by sponsoring the first games and races of the new season, which began in En'Kara.	10
16	39	The games and the races began with great enthusiasm and excitement.	10
16	243	"No, Master! Phyllis will not speak!" I turned to my left and began to follow the tier, until I came to a narrow set of stairs, leading to the lower portions of the stands, which I then followed, descending.	10
17	170	"I say," said the disguised guard, "Ar could do worse than have such a man as Cernus on the throne!" To my amazement, several about the table, who were undoubtedly common citizens of Ar, began to nod their heads.	10
17	178	The men about the table began to grunt affirmatively.	10
17	201	Then, interestingly, minor omens, recorded by the High Initiate, and others, began to turn against the Hinrabian dynasty.	10
17	236	The plan was to arrange to have the girls purchased by an agent of Priest-Kings on the Love Feast, which began tomorrow, an agent who would have the resources to outbid any conceivable competition.	10
17	332	A moment later another guard leaped into the pit of sand and, to the amusement of the girls, began a dance of larl hunters, joined by two or three others, in a file, dancing the stalking of the beast, the confrontation, the kill.	10
17	392	I began to sputter and blink.	10
17	396	Then he began to pound the table with his fists.	10
17	397	Then everyone in the room, amazed at the audacity of the slave girl, to so affront one of the black caste, after a moment, began to roar with amusement, even the slave girls.	10
17	410	And then, to my relief, he, Ubar of Ar, smiled, and then he, too, began to laugh.	10
17	411	Then the slave girls about the table began to go wild, throwing things and where possible pouring liquids on the heads of the guards and members of the staff, who, leaping up, seized them when they could catch them, kissing them, holding them, making them cry out with delight.	10
17	525	Behind her the men began crying out, watching the tumbling of the knucklebones on the stones of the floor.	10
17	585	I began to rummage through one of the chests, and then another.	10
17	629	It began to spill, and I steadied it, lifting it with her hand to her lips.	10
17	753	I began to marvel at her.	10
17	763	"The game! The game!" Reluctantly I began to put out the pieces again.	10
17	765	To my astonishment, this time I began to see the Centian Opening unfold, developed years ago by Centius of Cos, one of the strongest openings known in the game, one in which the problems of development for red are particularly acute, especially the development of his Ubar's Scribe.	10
18	52	Ho-Tu and I began to circle one another.	10
18	390	I began moving down the Nine Corridor.	10
18	431	He began to laugh, softly, hoarsely.	10
18	435	He began to suck at the bottle.	10
19	63	We began to walk down a long, slowly bending passageway.	10
19	112	Those with string instruments began to tune them; there was a czehar player, the group's leader, some kalika players, some flutists, players of the kaska, small drums, and others.	10
19	114	Even more individuals began to crowd into the amphitheater.	10
19	135	Then the auctioneer briefly and expertly displayed the girl, with deft touches of the wandlike slave goad, and began, simultaneously, to raise the first block calls.	10
20	31	"Show mercy!" The slave whom I had originally seen victorious in the sport of hook knife sprang to the sand and began to stalk Portus.	10
20	122	Her face began to turn white.	10
20	251	He sprang to his feet and began to leap up and down making noises like a scolding urt.	10
20	280	Again he came under the table, and this time his hand darted out and back, and he began to chew on his prize, a peel of larma fruit snatched from a plate, discarded as garbage.	10
20	328	I will not play!" Hup began to croon to himself in the corner, now rocking back and forth on his haunches.	10
20	364	I closed my eyes and began to shake with laughter, seeing the joke on myself.	10
20	401	"No," said Philemon, irritably, "on the color, like this!" Hup's attention was now drawn to the side of the table where there was a sugared pastry, which he began to eye hungrily.	10
20	515	Hup began to dance on one foot, turning about.	10
21	256	Then, sensing the intended execution, some of them began to scream angrily.	10
21	265	The crowd now began to scream angrily as the many rushed upon and swirled about the one.	10
21	313	Then they began to scream with anger.	10
21	321	The crowd began to press against the spears of the Taurentians in the tiers, who, at the edge of the tiers, at the top of the wall overtopping the sand, resolutely held them back.	10
21	390	The crowds, in their thousands, began to swarm over the walls, dropping to the sand screaming.	10
22	196	Then, to my horror, I saw the wings miss their beat and the bird screamed in pain, and began to turn in the air, Mip spinning with the bird, trying to control it.	10
22	216	Then all, save perhaps those closest to the noble Ubar of the city, began to cry out and cheer, and pound their fists on their left shoulder.	10
22	318	Odds began to shift on the great board.	10
22	457	I began to regret that I had so willingly surrendered the lead at the beginning of the race.	10
22	519	The bird gave a great scream and the wings began to strike the air with the fury of victory.	10
22	575	Men began to stand in the tiers, singing.	10
22	610	Once again the thousands in that place began to sing.	10
24	105	We began the long journey through the halls of Ar's great Central Cylinder, almost a city in itself.	10
24	283	I touched it, and, trembling, scarcely breathing, carefully, began to untie the knot, counting each bend and turn, each delicate twist and motion of the cords.	10
24	329	She began to cry, to laugh.	10

Book 6. (66 results) Raiders of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	50	On river barges, for hundreds of pasangs, I had made my way down the Vosk, but where the mighty Vosk began to break apart and spread into its hundreds of shallow, constantly shifting channels, becoming lost in the vast tidal marshes of its delta, moving toward gleaming Thassa, the Sea, I had abandon...	10
2	55	With the pole she began to propel my rush craft through the sedge, the several other craft accompanying us, on one or the other side, or following.	10
3	239	The faces about me began to blacken.	10
3	254	I began to sweat, and I was afraid.	10
4	115	I turned again to the rence, trembling with fury, with shame, and again, stem by stem, began to cut.	10
4	154	She had now turned the stem of the craft toward the rence island, which lay some pasang or two through the swamp, and, as I cut rence here and there, began to pole homeward.	10
5	172	Then the man with the drum of hollow rence root began to drum, and I heard some others join in with reed flutes, and one fellow had bits of metal, strung on a circular wire, and another a notched stick, played by scraping it with a flat spoon of rence root.	10
5	173	It was Telima who began first to pound the woven rence mat that was the surface of the island with her right heel, lifting her hands, arms bent, over her head, her eyes closed.	10
5	174	Then the other girls, too, began to join her, and at last even the shiest among them moved pounding, and stamping and turning about the circle.	10
5	178	To my astonishment, as the dances continued, even the shiest of the rence girls, those who had to have been forced to the circle, even those who had tried to flee, began to writhe in ecstasy, their hands lifted to the three moons of Gor.	10
6	40	Then the long, wide net, held by slaves, began to advance.	10
6	129	Telima, buffeted, turned and began to run toward the darkness.	10
6	192	Then the night began to burn to my left.	10
6	209	Then I began to tear loose the rence-rope fastenings, fixed to stakes thrust through the rence.	10
7	39	Two wild gants alighted on the island, away from the men and their prisoners, and began pecking about the ruins of one of the rence huts, probably after seeds or bits of rence cake.	10
7	64	The barge, deep in the water, began to back away from the island.	10
7	207	Then I began to gather rence, drawing it from the surface of the island itself, long strips, with which a boat might be made.	10
8	27	The sixth barge began to drift to leeward, a slow half circle, aimless, like a finger drawing in the water.	10
8	65	The girl bound to the prow, however, startled, hysterical, seeing the tumult of tharlarion below her, each tearing for a part of the unexpected prize, began to scream uncontrollably.	10
8	66	The slaves in the punt, too, striking down with their glaves, shoving away tharlarion, began to cry out.	10
8	71	"Cut! Cut! Cut!" I heard the officer cry out to the slaves in the punt and, immediately, almost frenzied, they began to hack away at the tangles of marsh vine with their bladed poles.	10
8	117	Slaves chained at the benches began to cry out with fear.	10
8	284	I then rose to my feet and began to make my way, barge by barge, to the sixth barge.	10
8	662	The blond girl screamed, and the shorter girl, dark-haired, began to sob, putting her head to the deck.	10
8	818	All my former hatreds of her began to rear within me, the wrongs which she had done me, and the degradation and humiliation to which she had submitted me.	10
9	143	Could not Port Kar be attacked from the sea? The music of the musicians began to beat in my blood, reeling there.	10
9	238	They began to play, and the girl, once more, danced.	10
9	369	He did not refuse her, and they began to kiss, and touch.	10
9	371	Helpless in his great arms she struggled, but then, as I laughed, she cried out as though in misery and began to yield to him, and then, moments later, her lips eagerly were seeking his.	10
9	389	The musicians began to play, and to the clappings and cries of Thurnock and Clitus, Thura and Ula danced before them.	10
10	282	Merchants of Port Kar began to apply to me that they might transport their goods in my ships.	10
11	253	With a rattle of cord and chain the wheels spun back and the thing on the rack began to jabber and whimper and laugh.	10
11	452	The captains looked at one another in puzzlement, and then they began to smile, and then several laughed.	10
11	560	"I am, of course, highly honored," I began, "that noble Samos should think of me, that he should nominate me, doubtless the lowliest of the captains here assembled, for a post of such distinction, that of bearing the peace of Port Kar to her hereditary enemies Cos and Tyros".	10
12	25	The four men now turned and began to run back toward the postern gate.	10
12	34	The sack, filling with water, began to sink, and, as I reached it, it had slipped beneath the water.	10
13	307	Slowly the ship, like a sweet, fat bird, heavy and stately, began to move toward the opening between the two high, round towers that guard the entrance to the walled harbor of Telnus, capital city of the island of Cos, seat of its Ubar's throne.	10
13	336	I heard the voice of the captain, Tenrik, crying to his helmsmen, "Hard to starboard!" The big ship began to swing to starboard.	10
13	338	"Full sail! Maximum beat!" As soon as the Rena had swung to her original course, the oar-master cried "Stroke!" and the mallets of the keleustes began to strike, in great beats, the copper-covered drum.	10
13	370	Then, foolishly, they began to lash away at the sweating backs of the slaves.	10
13	385	But, in less than an Ehn, one man failed to maintain it, and then two, and the oars began to foul.	10
13	437	The officer, obediently, one by one, began to release my fellow slaves.	10
14	88	Accordingly I began to put my plan into effect.	10
14	89	With twelve ships I began to approach the treasure fleet from the southeast.	10
14	168	The ships behind her began turning about.	10
14	191	It, too, began to come about, and we caught her amidships, the ram thrusting through the heavy planking like kindling, then stopped by the shield, like a spread tarn's crest, and we chopped our way back and free, and then knifed past her stern toward the next two ships.	10
14	210	When I saw the tarn ship ahead, its captain doubtless confident of his speeds and distances, lift her oars, preparing to come about, I called to the oar-master, "Now!" Without the loss of a stroke he, at the center of the rowing frame, began to call maximum beat, "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!" The Dorna,...	10
14	279	As my other eleven ships, one by one, began to return to the treasure fleet, the story was similar with them.	10
14	476	Seventeen soon began to move around the fleet, or come about, to face the approaching twelve vessels.	10
15	373	The musicians, to one side, began to play.	10
15	572	She began to kiss my left arm, and I, with my right hand, brushed her away.	10
16	66	But then, as though infuriated by my laughter, she began to struggle viciously.	10
16	336	There were now torches on both sides of the canals, in long lines, following us, and boats, too, began to follow us.	10
17	98	He began to cry orders to the seamen.	10
17	123	In the basket I wrapped the admiral's cloak about me, began to chew on a piece of tarsk meat, as much against the cold as the hunger, and took out the glass of the builders.	10
17	351	And then, suddenly, I gave a cry and jerked on the one-strap and the bird, by training and instinct, flung itself into the sleeting wind and began to climb the dark, running sky.	10
17	352	I was again on tarnback! The bird climbed until I released the one-strap and then it began to circle.	10
17	405	Crossbow bolts from the other ships began to fall into the deck of the flagship.	10
17	413	Smoke began to drift up through the planking of the deck.	10
18	31	The anchors were raised and the yard, on its ropes and pulleys, began to climb toward the masthead.	10
18	32	Meanwhile, the starboard oars, under the call of the oar-master, began swinging the vessel about, to bring her stern into the wind.	10
18	36	Then the wind was at the stern and the oar-master began his count, easing the ship ahead until the storm sail was caught by the blasts.	10
18	132	In a few moments the tarn spread his wings before the black wind and, caught in the blast, was hurled before the Dorna, and began, in dizzying circles, to climb in the wind and sleet.	10
18	511	I slipped the blade into the sheath and began to climb the rungs.	10
18	616	And then the invaders began to scatter and run, but each archer picked his target, and few there were who reached cover other than the side of the keep away from the archers.	10
18	650	I then seized one of the ropes attached to a grappling iron wedged in one of the crenels and began to descend the outer side of the keep wall.	10

4	157	As I watched it, it seemed that lights began to flicker on its surface, and then it seemed that tendrils of light began to interweave across its steel, and, before my eyes, it began to change in color, turning a grayish blue, streaked with white.	10
13	873	The tarns then, rearing up in the sky, facing one another, began to tear at one another with their beaks and talons, and then, talons locked, they began, beaks snapping and tearing, to twist and roll, turning, locked together, falling, climbing, tumbling, wings beating, screaming in rage.	10
1	150	Then I picked up the soap and began to soap my body.	10
2	122	Not looking down, terrified, I seized the rope of sheets and, scarcely breathing, sick to my stomach, hand over hand, began to lower myself.	10
3	61	The room began to grow a bit dark at the edges.	10
3	97	I began to lose consciousness.	10
3	106	I began to lose consciousness.	10
3	167	I began to saw at the cords with the knife.	10
3	322	I would be Elinor Brinton! I am she! Suddenly I began to drive coolly, swiftly, efficiently, brilliantly.	10
3	410	I began to sob.	10
3	456	I began to breathe more easily.	10
3	495	The shape then turned toward me, and began to move slowly in my direction.	10
4	43	The men now began to bring, not gently, certain large square boxes from the truck, which they placed near the large, open hatch on the ship.	10
4	50	The men unloading the truck began to unsnap the sides of the large wooden boxes placed near the open hatch on the ship.	10
4	220	Then I began to feel faint.	10
5	129	I screamed and began to throw the cups, which were metal, at the animal, hysterically.	10
5	176	I turned away from the forest and began to run across the field, blindly toward the horizon, over the grass.	10
6	93	I came to its crest and looked about, wildly, about and down, and then I cried out, and waved, and began to run down the side of the hill, stumbling and shouting and waving my arms.	10
6	109	Another two, flanking these, began to run toward the top of the hill.	10
6	162	Then Targo began to speak to me.	10
6	182	I, too, began to grow irritated.	10
6	272	I began to find Targo odious.	10
6	371	The man began to adjust the strap on my body.	10
6	405	The wagon began to move.	10
6	424	The girls began to push harder.	10
7	186	Some of the girls, to my amazement, began to play, splashing water on one another.	10
7	204	When the grizzled, one-eyed guard returned to the bank, now clad in dry clothes, the girls cried out to him, pleading with him, and he leapt into the center of the circle and began, wildly, to regale them with some narrative, which seemed to require much gesticulation.	10
7	217	Then, Lana, imperiously, began to upbraid him.	10
7	230	Then, when she was released she crawled rapidly to Targo, shuddering, thrust her head to his feet, seized his foot and began to cover his sandal with kisses.	10
7	236	Then the girls, in pairs, began to comb and brush one another's hair.	10
7	262	Almost immediately Ute, and Inge, as well, began to teach me Gorean.	10
7	313	I began to shudder.	10
8	24	The wagon began to tilt forward then and I knew we were moving down the slope toward the river bank.	10
8	49	A broad, low-sided barge began to back toward the pier.	10
8	164	"No! No!" The girls then, except for Ute, but even including Inge, began to laugh and cry out, mocking me, in a singsong voice, "El-in-or wants a master! El-in-or wants a master!" "No!" I cried, and turned away, putting my face against the bars.	10
8	210	The tharlarion now turned slowly in the broad river, near Laura, and, under the stick, and cries, of their driver, began to back the barge against its pier.	10
8	214	Then they leaped to the pier and, with smaller ropes, fastened to the same cleats, began to draw the barge close to the pier.	10
8	295	I began to chew my bread and roast tarsk.	10
8	500	And, startlingly, for the first time in my life, I, too, now undeniably, began to find them attractive, deeply and sensuously attractive, even excitingly so.	10
8	554	Ute, slapping fabric on the flat rocks and rinsing it in the cold water, began to sing.	10
8	789	Several of the girls began to sing.	10
8	792	Some of the girls began to play tag, and games.	10
8	995	Looking at him, smiling, holding the bread in both hands, I began to eat it.	10
8	1023	Ute and the men began to sing and clap, one of them slapping at the leather of a shield.	10
8	1083	Lana began to scream, but the scream was muffled.	10
9	30	Sitting cross-legged on the leaves, the girls passed about the gourds and began to chew on the meat.	10
9	153	The girls, led by Verna, again began to make their way through the dark, moonlit forest.	10
9	319	The first girl began to writhe, crying out, stamping in the circle.	10
9	328	The first girl began to dance before the square.	10
10	12	Then, sleepily, it began to nibble at the fur of its right paw, grooming it.	10
10	26	He turned again to the pan of water on the table and began to wash the paint from his face.	10
10	522	It began tearing at it with its fangs and claws.	10
10	540	I shook my head, and began to approach him, on my knees, my hands bound behind me.	10
10	620	Snarling, it began to wiggle its shoulders, like a cat, through the opening.	10
10	647	The sleen, hissing, one eye blazing, the other seared by the torch, maddened with pain, began to wiggle and squirm through the aperture.	10
11	231	I began sobbing with pain, with misery and degradation.	10
11	545	My hands were unbound and, on my hands and knees, I began to gather the soiled, stinking straw.	10
11	620	In acknowledgment of my skills, perhaps, Lana began to take me into her confidence, and, though I hated her, I became her friend.	10
11	623	Subconsciously now, from day to day, as I now understand it, my body began to reveal me truly as a slave girl.	10
11	632	Then, scratching and cursing, we began to roll and fight in the straw.	10
11	817	And then, suddenly, with the abruptness of the storms of the Gorean north, the cold rains, in icy sheets, began to pelt downwards.	10
11	1243	Our training in the pens of Ko-ro-ba now began to move toward its conclusion.	10
11	1405	Elinor Brinton, though only a female, and a slave, would conquer! Now, satisfied with myself, I began to grow drowsy.	10
12	322	Then there was a roar of anger from the crowd and, to my fury, men began to leap, too, to the cart, but to hurl the slave girls from the cage.	10
12	617	He cried out and, angrily, began to run back toward the wagon.	10
12	669	"I can't!" Ute pushed me away and began to chew at the leather strap, desperately, holding it with her hands.	10
13	20	I again began to stalk the silver body in the trap.	10
13	32	Ute crawled over to me, and began to work, with her small strong fingers, at the knot that bound the collar on my throat.	10
13	59	She then turned and began to move away.	10
13	151	The silvery creature began to whip about the enclosure.	10
13	238	After I had worked for a while, Ute, taking up a rock and a stick, began to help me.	10
13	243	Ute began to hum.	10
13	274	But scarcely more than a Gorean Ihn had passed before Ute, suddenly, with a look of terror in her eyes, began to fling dirt on the fire.	10
13	284	Ute began to destroy, in the darkness, the small shelter of sticks and leaves we had constructed.	10
13	365	On my stomach, carefully, silently, I began to back away.	10

10	10	Then my right wrist, to cries of wonder, began to lift and straighten; my arm was then straight, before my body; I began, inch by inch, to lower it, toward the ground; if he did retain his grip he would, at my feet, be forced to his knees.	10
