Book 1. (36 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
19 100 On the back of my tarn, I waited, not knowing if I was to be singled out for the Flame Death, not knowing if I, like the mysterious blue envelope in the mountains of New Hampshire, so long ago, was doomed to explode in a devouring blue flame.
Details
10
1 51 It held a calm, hazy blue radiance.
Details
10
1 65 I widened my search, keeping that strange metal envelope with its blue ambience the center of my movements.
Details
10
1 84 The color of the metal was blue, and something of its ambience continued to characterize it, but the glow was fading.
Details
10
1 173 I had made my way perilously through the darkness for perhaps twenty minutes when, to my horror, my knapsack and bedroll seemed to burst into blue flame on my back.
Details
10
1 174 It was an instant's action to hurl them from me, and I gazed, bewildered, awe-stricken, at what seemed to be a furious blue combustion that lit the pines on all sides as if with acetylene flames.
Details
10
2 23 The sky, like that of the earth, was blue.
Details
10
2 100 She was barefoot, and as her eyes shyly met mine, I saw they were blue and deferential.
Details
10
2 209 "Like the envelope of blue metal?" "Yes," he said.
Details
10
2 226 He said, from what he could learn from the Initiates, who claimed to serve as the intermediaries of Priest-Kings to men, that the planet Gor had originally been a satellite of a distant sun, in one of the fantastically remote Blue Galaxies.
Details
10
3 1 The Tarn "Ho!" cried Torm, that most improbable member of the Caste of Scribes, throwing his blue robes over his head as though he could not bear to see the light of day.
Details
10
3 2 Out of the robes then popped the sandy-haired head of the scribe, his pale blue eyes twinkling on each side of that sharp needle of a nose.
Details
10
3 8 "Look," he cried in actual despair, waving his blue-robed arms hopelessly at the messiest chamber I had seen on Gor.
Details
10
3 17 The hottest days would be likely to find him wiping his nose on the sleeve of his blue robes, shivering miserably and lamenting the price of fuel.
Details
10
3 19 His blue robes were worn through in a dozen spots, only two or three of which had been ineptly attacked by thread.
Details
10
3 32 A tear of amusement formed along the side of his sharp nose, and his pale blue eyes twinkled.
Details
10
3 164 He was a blond Viking giant of a man, a bearded fellow with a cheerful, craggy face and fierce blue eyes, who strode about as though he owned the earth on which he stood.
Details
10
3 177 He wiped his nose sagely on the sleeve of his blue robe.
Details
10
4 131 The ceiling was lit as if by stars, and the walls were of five colors, applied laterally, beginning from the bottom—white, blue, yellow, green, and red, caste colors.
Details
10
4 135 In order, the ascending tiers, blue, yellow, green, and red, were occupied by representatives of the Scribes, Builders, Physicians, and Warriors.
Details
10
4 147 I had noted that those blue Viking eyes showed almost no evidence of the previous night.
Details
10
5 11 He lifted his blue-clad arm in a gesture of farewell—rather sadly, I thought.
Details
10
5 64 Abruptly I changed course, drawing on the four-strap, guiding my tarn toward the blue, shimmering wave of a mountain range in the distance.
Details
10
6 74 I fastened my eyes on the blue sky, wanting it to be the last thing I looked upon.
Details
10
8 15 Unresisting, the girl extended her wrists, and the soldier snapped slave bracelets on them—light, restraining bracelets of gold and blue stones that might have served as jewelry if it had not been for their function.
Details
10
8 108 At last she took a relatively unsoiled undergarment, something blue and silk, bare at the shoulders, and drew it on, belting it with a strip of what had been her veil.
Details
10
9 36 She emerged a few minutes later, having washed her hair and the blue silk gown she wore.
Details
10
10 89 Beside one of several long wagons of the sort covered with yellow and blue silk, I removed the bracelets from her wrists and turned her over to an attendant.
Details
10
10 144 A moment later the torn rag of blue silk flew out from behind the hanging.
Details
10
10 201 She even conversed delightedly with the inmates of the blue and yellow wagons, bringing them precious tidbits of camp news, teasing them as to how handsome their new masters would be.
Details
10
11 48 Reluctantly I took Talena to the great tent of blue and yellow silk, and we pressed in among the hot, smelling bodies of the buyers, forcing our way toward the front.
Details
10
12 30 Just as the tiny object, black against the blue sky, reached its apogee, I heard the click of the trigger, the vibration of the string, and the swift hiss of the quarrel.
Details
10
18 75 In spite of the breadth of the pit, perhaps two hundred feet, it was cold at the bottom, and as I looked up, I was startled to note that, in the blue sky, I could see the dim pinpricks of light which, after dark, would become the blazing stars above Gor.
Details
10
19 113 Not even a scream came from that fierce blue combustive mass that had been a human being, and in a minute the flame had departed, almost as quickly as it had come, and a dust of ashes scattered from the top of the cylinder in the wind.
Details
10
20 60 I sent my friend at the college a belated check for his camping equipment, which had been destroyed with the blue envelope in the mountains.
Details
10
20 68 I have puzzled over this, trying to connect it with the mysterious letter, dated in the seventeenth century, ostensibly by my father, which I received in the blue envelope.

Details
10
6 180 By their shield insignia and blue helmets I knew them to be men of Tharna.
Details
10
8 2 The gate had been open and though I had been carefully scrutinized by its guards, tall spearmen in blue helmets, no one had objected to my entry.
Details
10
8 97 I had caught a brief glimpse of a sallow face, with skin like a dried lemon and pale blue eyes.
Details
10
9 161 Behind him in their blue helmets stood three others.
Details
10
10 15 He looked at me, his gray eyes frank in the Y-slot in his somber blue helmet of Tharna.
Details
10
11 21 About the room, here and there, stood stern warriors of Tharna, grim in their blue helmets, each with a tiny silver mask on the temple—members of the palace guard.
Details
10
12 154 He was an unkempt, strong-looking lad, with cheerful blue eyes and a mop of hair like the mane of a black larl.
Details
10
13 86 His eyes were blue like steel.
Details
10
13 96 The pale blue eyes glimmered briefly; then they clouded.
Details
10
14 177 Beyond Tharna and its gloomy soil, continually broken by its stony outcroppings, I could see the green fields of Gor, glades of yellow Ka-la-na trees, the shimmering surface of a placid lake and the bright blue sky, open and beckoning.
Details
10
15 44 It was blue and empty.
Details
10
15 113 I noted that her eyes behind the mask were blue.
Details
10
19 8 Those blue eyes like steel looked about the unyielding faces of the chained slaves.
Details
10
19 105 I saw that those eyes, usually like blue steel, seemed softer than I remembered them.
Details
10
20 137 I watched it until, a tiny speck against the blue sky, it disappeared in the distance.
Details
10
21 15 I saw that the cover of the tharlarion wagon, which had been rolled back, was of blue and yellow silk.
Details
10
21 23 Her eyes were blue.
Details
10
21 112 There was terror in her blue eyes.
Details
10
21 134 From among the domed tents, wearing a swirling robe of broadly striped blue and yellow silk, with a headband of the same material, there approached a short, fat man, Targo the Slaver, he who was master of this small caravan.
Details
10
21 140 His hair, long and black beneath the band of blue and yellow silk, was combed and glossy.
Details
10
22 53 Her blue eyes seemed filled with wonder, and then they glistened with tears.
Details
10
22 200 "I noted by the blue helmet," he said, "that you were of Tharna".
Details
10
23 106 It was said the rebellion in the city was led by a short, powerful man with blue eyes and short-cropped hair, formerly of the Caste of Metal Workers.
Details
10
23 134 As he felt the wind on the walls reach his head he opened his grayish blue eyes.
Details
10
23 161 The grayish blue eyes slowly opened and gazed at my face for a long time, and gradually recognition transformed the features of the young guardsman.
Details
10
23 167 His grayish blue eyes filled with tears.
Details
10
23 231 His great hammer was slung from his belt and his blue eyes glistened with happiness.
Details
10
24 89 Then regarding me evenly with those steel-blue eyes he said, "We are always of the same chain".
Details
10
24 139 Behind the ramparts I could see the blaze of weaponry and the movement of blue helmets.
Details
10
24 150 Though he wore the blue helmet of Tharna I knew that it was Thorn.
Details
10
24 202 "Back to your post!" Other warriors in the blue helmets and gray tunics of Tharna had climbed to the top of the barricade, to see more clearly what befell.
Details
10
24 222 Yet another man took from his head the blue helmet.
Details
10
24 263 On the steps before the throne there stood a warrior, fully armed, who held in his hands the blue helmet of his city.
Details
10
25 11 Seemingly almost impassive, the golden-robed figure on the throne watched the two warriors moving backward and forward before her, one clad in the blue helmet and gray tunic of Tharna, the other in the universal scarlet of the Gorean Caste of Warriors.
Details
10
25 59 Outside I could see the bright blue rectangle of the open sky.

Book 3. (45 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
7 49 Vika's eyes were a sullen, smoldering, taunting blue; the blue of Lara's eyes had been brighter, as clear and, when not impassioned, as soft as the summer sky over Ko-ro-ba; when impassioned they had burned as fiercely, as beautifully, as helplessly as the walls of a raped city.

10
1 46 I missed Torm and wondered if I would ever see him again, bounding about excoriating the authors of dusty scrolls, knocking the inkwell from his desk with an imperial sweep of the sleeve of his blue robe, leaping on the table in birdlike fury denouncing one scribe or another for independently redisc...

10
1 51 If I should meet him I knew he would thrust himself upon me and insist on being taken into the Sardar, though he would know it would mean his death, and I would have to bundle him in his blue robes, hurl him into a rain barrel and make my escape.
Details
10
4 2 I remember one last glimpse of the Sardar Range, the path I had climbed, the cold, blue sky and two snowy larls, one chained on either side of the entrance.

8 204 She raised her head and her taunting blue eyes regarded me boldly.
Details
10
8 210 I looked into those blue eyes and they looked into mine, and I wondered how many men had been burned, and had died, in that smoldering, sullen fire.
Details
10
15 8 A circle of eerie, blue, descending light flickered on the walls of the passage down which I lowered myself.
Details
10
15 11 I could see the discolorations of slime molds, probably white, but seeming blue in the light, on the walls.
Details
10
16 2 I could see the disklike eyes in that golden head above me and see the flicker of the blue torch on their myriad surfaces.
Details
10
16 210 I was silent and Misk did not speak and the only noise in that paneled metallic laboratory that was the cradle of a Priest-King was the soft crackle of the blue torch I held.
Details
10
17 141 Before my horrified eyes in the observation cube the man seemed suddenly to vaporize in a sudden blasting flash of blue fire.
Details
10
18 88 "Sometimes this is spoken of as the Home Stone of all Gor," said Sarm, as we walked the long, winding, iron spiral that clung to the side of a vast, transparent blue dome.
Details
10
18 98 Sarm stopped on the narrow iron railing circling the huge, glassy blue dome and straightened himself and turned to face me.
Details
10
18 104 At last we had reached the very apex of the great blue dome and I could see the glowing, bluish, refulgent, reticulated hemisphere far below me.
Details
10
20 101 Bending to a panel in the disk he took out three objects: the long, classic, white garment of a Chamber Slave, which was contained in a wrapper of blue plastic; a slave collar; and an object of which I did not immediately grasp the import, a small, flat boxlike object which bore the upraised figure ...
Details
10
20 113 The attendant on the disk had now broken open the blue plastic wrapper that held, fresh and folded, the garment of a Chamber Slave.
Details
10
21 49 The feet had no toes but were rather disklike, fleshy cushions on which they padded silently along, and similarly on the palms of their wide hands there seemed to be a fleshy disk, which glistened in the blue light of the Mul-Torches.
Details
10
22 25 He, hanging there upside down, reflected in the blue torchlight, regarded me calmly.
Details
10
22 159 In the blue torchlight I examined the blade and the light coat of oil that protected it.
Details
10
23 50 It was a long, eerie search, in the blue light of the Mul-Torch, thrusting it into one crevice and another, trying one passage and then the next.
Details
10
25 159 I extended my hands to her and her eyes met mine, blue and beautiful and calm, and she lifted her bound wrists and placed them in my hands and kneeling before me lowered her head between her arms and said softly, very clearly, "I the girl Vika of Treve submit myself—completely—to the m...

27 87 It was hard to imagine her, uncounted generations ago, with wings of gold in the open air, in the blue sky of Gor, glistening and turning with her lover borne on the high, glorious, swift winds of this distant, savage world.
Details
10
28 18 And as I waited on the still disk in the darkness, my weapon ready, I suddenly saw far down the tunnel the sudden blue flash of an opened Mul-Torch and then its steady blaze, and then I saw another flash and blaze and another and to my amazement it seemed that these fires hung from the very ceiling ...
Details
10
28 66 She crouched in the corner of the case away from the door in the darkness, and through the plastic I saw her in the blue radiance of the Mul-Torch.
Details
10
31 120 I looked up to see Sarm on that narrow passage that traced its precarious way around the great blue dome that covered the power source.
Details
10
31 123 Then I saw him through the sides of the blue dome that covered the power source, far above, a golden figure on the narrow walkway at the crest of the dome.
Details
10
31 164 More stones fell from the ceiling of the chamber now, clattering and bouncing off the surface of the blue, scarred seething dome.
Details
10
31 176 I could not leap to the sides, for there was only the smooth sheer curve of the blue globe and I would slide to my death and fall like one of the stones from the roof above to the dusty, smoking rubble below.
Details
10
31 198 The narcotic odor emanating from that lifted, waving mane shook even me though I stood in the midst of free air on the top of that great blue globe.
Details
10
31 230 He stood thusly on the walkway at the top of the vast blue dome beneath which burned and hissed the power source of Priest-Kings.
Details
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.
Details
10
32 40 And we looked, all of us, and saw, far above, perhaps more than a mile above, the open blue sky of Gor.
Details
10
32 51 I put my arm about her shoulders, holding her as she wept, her face lifted to the distant blue sky.
Details
10
32 77 I would have liked to have seen once more the surface of the world, the blue sky, the green fields beyond the black Sardar, but rather I said, "I choose to remain here with Misk, who is my friend".
Details
10
32 86 Then together we watched the ship float swiftly upward like a small white star and disappear in the blue distance beyond.
Details
10
33 54 It was now ascending in a gentle swirl to the blue sky of Gor.
Details
10
34 5 There was a tugging at my sleeve and a blubbering and I looked down and nearly poked a scroll in my eye which was carried by the small blue-clad figure at my side.
Details
10
34 7 But the little fellow's sandy hair and pale, watery eyes were hidden in the vast sleeve of his blue robe as he leaned against my side and wept unabashedly.
Details
10
34 20 I looked down at the little scribe, Torm, who had stopped sneezing, and was now wiping his nose on the blue sleeve of his robes.
Details
10
34 156 Perhaps she, my Free Companion, even now lay chained in one of the blue and yellow slave wagons, or served paga in a tavern or was a belled adornment to some warrior's Pleasure Gardens.

Details

12 36 "I distinguish myself, and enter into the history of our land," said the Blue Tooth, "in being the high Jarl to award these talmits in the games.

10
12 42 Svein Blue Tooth was obviously pleased that it had been in his Jarlship that six talmits had been won at the Thing by a single, redoubtable champion.
Details
10
12 45 From a leather box, proffered to him by a high officer, who, too, had been the presiding official at the contests, Svein Blue Tooth lifted a fistful of talmits.

12 49 "He who calls himself Thorgeir of Ax Glacier," proclaimed Svein Blue Tooth, "let him approach!" Ivar Forkbeard eagerly bounded up the stairs toward the dais.

12 54 I studied the face of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
12 58 I hoped that Svein Blue Tooth would simply hand him the talmits and he might rapidly back down, and we might run for the ship.

10
12 60 It was obviously the intent of Svein Blue Tooth, himself, to honor this great winner, to bind on his forehead, with his own hands, the talmits.

12 61 The Blue Tooth reached to brush back the hood.

12 72 "But the peace of the Thing is upon you," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
12 77 "Great Jarl," said Ivar Forkbeard, "will you swear upon me the oath of peace, for the time of the Thing, your personal oath, sworn upon the ring of the temple of Thor?" "It is not necessary," said the Blue Tooth, "but, if you wish, this oath I will swear".

10
12 81 Svein Blue Tooth grasped it in both hands.

12 87 Svein Blue Tooth looked at him, puzzled.

12 90 "Come now!" said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
12 92 "Very well," said the Blue Tooth, "I swear by the ship's side, the shield's rim, the sword's edge, the fires of my hearth, the timbers of my hall and the pillars of the high seat in my house".
Details
10
12 94 "Will you swear, too," he asked, "by the grains of your fields, the boundary stones of your holdings, the locks on your chests and the salt on your table?" "Yes, yes!" said Svein Blue Tooth, irritatedly.
Details
10
12 97 I assumed he was trying to think of ways to strengthen the Blue Tooth's oath.
Details
10
12 100 "And, too, I swear," said Svein Blue Tooth, "by the bronze of my ladles and the bottoms of my butter pans!" "That will not be necessary," said the Forkbeard, generously.
Details
10
12 101 "What is your name, Champion?" asked Svein Blue Tooth.

13 8 These pillars had been carved by craftsmen in the time of Svein Blue Tooth's great grandfather, and bore the luck signs of his house.
Details
10
13 26 Svein Blue Tooth's holdings, on the other hand, were quite large and complexly organized.
Details
10
13 27 It would not have seemed proper, at least in the eyes of Svein Blue Tooth and others, for a high officer to sit at the same table with a fellow whose main occupation was supervising thralls in the tending of verr.

10
13 32 I describe those appointments characterizing the hall of Blue Tooth.

13 40 High officers, of course, and the Blue Tooth, and members of his family, would retire to private rooms.

10
13 46 Svein Blue Tooth had not been much pleased on the fields of the contests, on his purple-draped dais, when Ivar Forkbeard had announced his identity.
Details
10
13 47 "Seize him and heat oil!" had been the first cry of the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 49 "Seize him!" screamed the Blue Tooth, and had himself clearly intended to lay rude hands on the innocent Forkbeard, but his men had, forcibly, restrained him, they glaring at Ivar Forkbeard with ill-disguised disapproval.
Details
10
13 50 "You tricked me!" cried out the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 53 Svein Blue Tooth, held in the arms of his men, struggled to unsheath his great sword of blued steel.
Details
10
13 54 The high rune-priest of the Thing interposed himself between the violent Blue Tooth and the Forkbeard, who was, innocently, regarding cloud formations.
Details
10
13 58 The veins stood out on the forehead and neck of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 67 The men-at-arms of Svein Blue Tooth stirred uneasily.
Details
10
13 76 "Yes, it is I, Ivar Forkbeard!" The men-at-arms of Svein Blue Tooth were now uncomfortably close.
Details
10
13 79 The issues seemed reasonably clear, though I could catch only snatches of what was said; they concerned the pleasures of boiling the Forkbeard and his retinue alive as opposed to the dangerous precedent which might be set if the peace of the Thing was sundered, and the loss of credit which might acc...
Details
10
13 83 At last the Blue Tooth turned to face the Forkbeard.
Details
10
13 86 "The peace of the Thing," said the Blue Tooth, "and the peace of my house, for the time of the Thing, is upon you.

10
13 93 I rather admired Svein Blue Tooth.

13 101 Svein Blue Tooth looked at him in rage.

10
13 103 Blue Tooth was speechless.
Details
10
13 106 The Blue Tooth thrust the talmits toward the Forkbeard.
Details
10
13 108 Then Svein Blue Tooth, as high jarl in Torvaldsland, one by one, tied about the forehead of Ivar Forkbeard the six talmits.
Details
10
13 111 Svein Blue Tooth was, in his way, not a bad fellow.
Details
10
13 112 "By tomorrow night," repeated Svein Blue Tooth to the Forkbeard, "when the Thing is done, be free of this place.
Details
10
13 115 "I frown upon you, and would not let you within the doors of my hall," said Svein Blue Tooth, "because you are the greatest scoundrel and rogue in Torvaldsland!" I could see that this compliment much pleased the Forkbeard, who, a vain fellow, was jealous of his reputation.
Details
10
13 117 "That is preposterous!" snorted the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 119 "No man," said the Blue Tooth, looking suddenly at Ivar Forkbeard, "could pay such wergild as I set for you".
Details
10
13 121 "You have heard," he inquired, "of the sack of the temple of Kassau?" "You!" cried the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 122 I saw the eyes of the Blue Tooth suddenly gleam with avarice.
Details
10
13 128 Svein Blue Tooth looked at him, startled.
Details
10
13 129 He fingered the heavy tooth, on its chain, which hung about his neck, that tooth of a Hunjer whale, dyed blue.
Details
10
13 133 The Blue Tooth did not gainsay her.

13 139 The Forkbeard looked to Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 143 Svein Blue Tooth, high jarl of Torvaldsland, followed by his woman, and high officers and counselors, and other followers, then took his way from the dais.
Details
10
13 144 * * * * We had fed well in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 146 Splendid was the quality of the ale at the tables of the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 162 The palisade enclosed some two acres; within it were many shops and storage houses, even an ice house; in the center, of course, reared the great hall itself, that rude, high-roofed palace of the north, the house of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 183 "If you are washed and readied," said a young thrall, collared, in a kirtle of white wool, "it is permissible to present yourselves before the high seat of the house, before my master, Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland".
Details
10
13 208 Then he took his way to the bench opposite the high seat, stopping here and there to exchange pleasantries with the men of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 210 The Blue Tooth, I noted, did not look too pleased at the Forkbeard's popularity with his men.
Details
10
13 212 * * * * We had fed well in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 231 But she was the woman of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 232 I supposed, in time, normally, she would retire, doubtless taking Svein Blue Tooth with her.
Details
10
13 235 I felt sorry for Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 239 After the entertainers had been driven from the hall and much food had been eaten, Svein Blue Tooth, who had showed much patience, said to Ivar Forkbeard, "It is my understanding that you believe yourself to have that wherewith your deed's wergild might be met".
Details
10
13 241 Svein Blue Tooth's eyes gleamed.
Details
10
13 243 "The wergild was high," said the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 249 For more than two Ahn gold was weighed, on two pairs of scales, one furnished by the Forkbeard, the other by the house of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 252 The eyes of Svein Blue Tooth and Bera, narrow, shining, were filled with pleasure.
Details
10
13 253 "There is forty weight of gold here," said Svein Blue Tooth's man, almost as though he could not believe it, "four hundred stone of gold".
Details
10
13 255 The Forkbeard then went to the heavy leather sack and, ripping the leather away at its throat, poured onto the dirt, lustrous, scintillating, a shower of jewels, mostly a deep blue, but some were purple, and others white and yellow, the carved sapphires of Schendi, each in the shape of a tiny panthe...
Details
10
13 257 Svein Blue Tooth leaned forward, his fists clenched.
Details
10
13 268 Too, the Forkbeard, in dealing with his Jarl, Svein Blue Tooth, would not use false stones.
Details
10
13 271 I had no doubt that the spilled glory heaped gleaming in the dirt of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth was what it seemed, true stones, and an incredible treasure.
Details
10
13 277 Svein Blue Tooth was much impressed.
Details
10
13 282 The Blue Tooth leaned back.
Details
10
13 288 The Blue Tooth's men, not pleased, murmured angrily.
Details
10
13 291 "Silence!" cried Svein Blue Tooth, standing behind the table.
Details
10
13 294 "I do ask the impossible," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 298 Even the men of Svein Blue Tooth, perhaps a thousand in the hall, were angry.
Details
10
13 299 Yet the Blue Tooth, boldly, their Jarl, matched his will to theirs.
Details
10
13 300 Which one of them would dare to challenge the will of their Jarl? I admired the Blue Tooth in his way.
Details
10
13 303 The Blue Tooth sat down again in the high seat.
Details
10
13 309 These four stopped before the table, opposite the high seat of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 313 "What mockery is this?" demanded the Blue Tooth, sternly.
Details
10
13 317 "It is she," whispered a man at the table of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 319 It is she!" "Are you—are you," asked Svein Blue Tooth, "the daughter of Thorgard, Thorgard of Scagnar?" "Yes, my Jarl," she said.
Details
10
13 327 "Once in battle," said Svein Blue Tooth, "I wounded Thorgard of Scagnar".
Details
10
13 333 "It is true," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 337 "How were you taken?" asked Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 340 "How were you conveyed past guards?" asked the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 345 There was a great cheer from the men in the hall, both those of Ivar Forkbeard and those of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 351 "Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland, meet Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar," said Ivar.
Details
10
13 352 "Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar, meet Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland".
Details
10
13 358 "Never had I thought to have Hilda, daughter of Thorgard of Scagnar, stand prisoner before me, before the high seat of my house," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 360 "I do not understand," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 362 "You need not address me as your Jarl, my dear," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 376 "You collared her!" laughed Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 378 "Superb!" laughed Svein Blue Tooth, rubbing his hands together.
Details
10
13 382 She had a beautiful face, blue eyes, long, loose blond hair.
Details
10
13 383 "Is she pretty?" asked Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 397 The eyes of Svein Blue Tooth, and those of his men, glistened as they feasted upon her bared beauty.
Details
10
13 398 "It seems," said Svein Blue Tooth, "that the wergild has been well met".
Details
10
13 400 "In the morning I shall proclaim the lifting of your outlawry," said the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 402 It seemed we would come alive, after all, out of the hall of the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 409 "How is that?" asked the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 411 The Blue Tooth looked puzzled.
Details
10
13 416 "But who has told you that I choose to meet it?" Suddenly the men in the hall, both those of the Forkbeard and of Svein Blue Tooth, began to cheer.
Details
10
13 419 Never in the north had there been such a coup of honor! Though it might mean the death of us all, those who followed the Forkbeard, and that of perhaps hundreds of the men of Svein Blue Tooth, we cheered.
Details
10
13 422 Slowly Svein Blue Tooth rose to his feet.
Details
10
13 424 There was not a man in the hall but knew that his kinsman, a distant cousin, Finn Broadbelt, whom the Forkbeard had slain, had fallen in fair duel, and that wergild should not have been levied; and there was not a man in that hall but knew that the Blue Tooth had decreed, even were such justified, a...
Details
10
13 426 I choose the sleen, the forest and the sea!" Svein Blue Tooth regarded him.
Details
10
13 435 All eyes turned to Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
14 1 The Forkbeard and I Depart From the Hall of Svein Blue Tooth I saw half of the body of a man spinning crazily past.
Details
10
14 35 Svein Blue Tooth stood on the long table, behind which was his high seat.
Details
10
14 82 Turning I saw Svein Blue Tooth and four others, trying to splinter their way from the hall.
Details
10
14 99 "Clear room!" cried Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
14 147 Again in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth rang the blood shriek of the Kurii.
Details
10
14 181 "Follow me!" cried Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
14 184 "Hurry! Hurry!" cried the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
14 185 His garments were half torn from him but, still, about his neck, on its chain, was the tooth of the Hunjer whale, dyed blue, by which men in Torvaldsland knew him.
Details
10
14 192 I saw ten Kurii leap to the back of the hall, to where Svein Blue Tooth and his men had made their opening, to prevent the escape of others.
Details
10
14 275 Then we were standing on the wooden-shingled blazing roof of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
14 282 I looked over and saw him, in the moonlight, making his way downward, hand by hand, foot by foot, using the clefts, projections and niches in the ornate carvings of the exterior corner beams of the Blue Tooth's hall.
Details
10
15 8 We had climbed down from the roof of the Blue Tooth's burning hall, using the projections and relief of the ornately carved corner beams.
Details
10
15 19 The Forkbeard, after our escape from the stockade of Svein Blue Tooth, had been intent upon reaching his camp.
Details
10
15 129 Beneath this redness burned the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
15 270 From where we stood we could see the black ruins of Svein Blue Tooth's hall and holdings, the desolated Thing-Fields, the sea, Thassa, with the ships at the beach.
Details
10
17 14 Not far from me was Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
17 102 After their devastating victory of the night of Svein Blue Tooth's feast, in which his hall was burned, and the Thing encampments laid waste, they had formed their own camp, and set methodically about gathering supplies for their southern march.
Details
10
17 105 During this time, a hundred pasangs to the south, Svein Blue Tooth had set the rallying point of the men of Torvaldsland.
Details
10
17 106 In these days I had much spied on Kurii, living on the land, returning more than once to the Blue Tooth's war camp.
Details
10
17 223 "Tie on the scarves," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
17 230 "Loosen your weapons," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
17 235 Svein Blue Tooth had his head down.
Details
10
17 252 I saw then Svein Blue Tooth, the mighty jarl of Torvaldsland, lift his own head, but it did not seem, then, to be him.
Details
10
17 254 The eyes did not seem those of the noble Blue Tooth, but of something else, unaccountable, not understood.
Details
10
17 282 Man by man, heart by heart, the fury gripped the host of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
17 298 Well did I remember their treachery, well did I remember the massacre, hideous, merciless, in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
17 327 There was foam at the mouth of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
17 332 The signal spear, in the hand of the frenzied Blue Tooth, its scarlet talmit wrapped at the base of its blade, was lifted.
Details
10
18 118 Svein Blue Tooth was at the pens, leading the attack that had broken the rally.
Details
10
18 121 The Blue Tooth stepped over the body of a fallen Kur.
Details
10
18 126 "Do not permit Kurii to escape to the south," said Svein Blue Tooth to Ketil, keeper of his high farm, who had been famed as a wrestler.
Details
10
18 149 There, already lifted, we saw the signal spear of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 156 "Form lines!" cried Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 157 "Form lines!" The Blue Tooth, their Jarl, was with them! Men fought to take their place, under his eyes, in the first line.
Details
10
18 158 The Blue Tooth himself now stood with Rollo, his own hand on the signal spear.
Details
10
18 171 "Charge!" cried Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 173 Not ten yards before the clash took place, Svein Blue Tooth and his lieutenants before the running line, as the girls, under the whips of Kurii, fled, terrified, seeing the axes, the leveled weapons, toward them, made a sign no bondmaid of the north mistakes, the belly sign.
Details
10
18 184 "Cut the wenches free," ordered Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 187 Svein Blue Tooth, and others, by the hair, hurled bond-wenches to their feet.
Details
10
18 190 "Help her!" ordered the Blue Tooth to two frightened girls.
Details
10
18 212 Had it not been for the force of Svein Blue Tooth, the power of his voice, the mightiness of his presence, Kurii might then have taken the initiative.
Details
10
18 228 "No," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 236 "Do you not think they will hunt us in the darkness?" asked Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 248 Svein Blue Tooth threw Kur meat into the dirt, in disgust.
Details
10
18 250 "Yes," said Svein Blue Tooth grimly, "they are waiting for night".
Details
10
18 251 I saw the general within their square, the huge Kur whom I had seen before, in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth, it with the golden ring on the left arm.
Details
10
18 267 "They are patient," said Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 272 "We shall break the square," I told Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 292 Dazed, injured Kurii, their formations disrupted, reeled, only to find, among them, screaming men, the launched horde of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 297 "Press them! Press them!" screamed the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 334 In the lines of Svein Blue Tooth, once he had fought not more than six men from my right.
Details
10
18 625 Svein Blue Tooth was there.
Details
10
18 627 "The bridge of jewels worked well," said Svein Blue Tooth to Ivar Forkbeard.
Details
10
18 631 The Blue Tooth shrugged.
Details
10
18 649 What else need one know of a man? "What is to be done with these captive Kurii?" I asked Svein Blue Tooth, indicating the line of imprisoned beasts, some wounded, being driven past us, survivors of the slaughter on the Bridge of Jewels.
Details
10
18 668 Ivar Forkbeard and Svein Blue Tooth might congratulate themselves on their victory.
Details
10
18 693 "In four days, when supplies can be gathered," said Svein Blue Tooth, "we shall have a great feast, for this has been a great victory".
Details
10
19 5 He stopped before Svein Blue Tooth and Ivar Forkbeard, who, on seats of rock, awaited it.
Details
10
19 20 Then the beast went to Svein Blue Tooth and Ivar Forkbeard, and there, from the ground at their feet, lifted again the two parts of the ax.
Details
10
19 23 But Svein Blue Tooth, regal, stood.
Details
10
20 78 It had been he who had been first in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth, the night of the attack.
Details
10
21 18 The fixing of the Kur collar, it had been decided by Svein Blue Tooth, was equivalent to the fixing of the metal collar and, in itself, was sufficient to reduce the subject to slavery, which condition deprives the subject of legal status, and rights attached thereto, such as the right to stand in co...
Details
10
21 19 Accordingly, to her astonishment, Bera, who had been the companion of Svein Blue Tooth, discovered suddenly that she was only one wench among others.
Details
10
21 20 From a line, as part of his spoils, the Blue Tooth picked her out.
Details
10
21 22 Yet was the Blue Tooth fond of the arrogant wench.
Details
10
21 71 "I would speak!" called Svein Blue Tooth, rising to his feet, lifting a horn of mead.
Details
10
21 76 "Svein Blue Tooth and I," said Ivar Forkbeard, rising, spilling Hilda from his lap, "have had our differences".
Details
10
21 79 The Blue Tooth had sought his life.
Details
10
21 83 The Forkbeard then lifted his mead to Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
21 84 "You are a great man, Svein Blue Tooth," said he, "and you have been a great enemy".
Details
10
21 85 "I shall now," said the Blue Tooth, "if it be within my power, prove to be so good a friend".
