5	407	Still, Boabissia did not want her there, and Boabissia was, after all, a free woman.	10
7	1	We Get a Late Start; Boabissia Is Encouraged to Silence, in a Way Occasionally Appropriate for Females "So at last we are upon our way, you lazy sleen," said Boabissia, lurching on the wagon box.	10
13	170	The new girl was, by the soldier in whose custody she was, thrust rudely to the pavement before Boabissia, his hand in her hair, forcing her head down to Boabissia's sandals.	10
24	322	He put to one side, taking it from a shallow pocket within the book's cover, a punched copper disk, on a string, rather the size of that which Boabissia had worn, and put it next to Boabissia's.	10
4	330	"I was called Boabissia," she said, "until I came of age, and chose my own name".	10
4	331	"You are still Boabissia," said one of the warriors.	10
4	364	"We named it 'Boabissia', a good Alar name".	10
4	540	"Disgusting! Disgusting!" cried the free woman, Boabissia, in her leather and furs, having returned to the fire, and she rushed forward, a stout, thick, short, supple, single-bladed quirtlike whip in her hand.	10
4	579	"Come, see Boabissia," called a fellow, "trussed like a tarsk!" Some more fellows, and even some free women, came over to look.	10
4	580	Boabissia, now permitted to kneel upright, squirmed, fighting the fiber.	10
4	587	I looked at Boabissia's throat.	10
4	602	"Surely you must have wondered about this," I said to Boabissia.	10
4	615	From time to time I glanced at Boabissia.	10
5	1	Hurtha; Boabissia; We Are Now on the Genesian Road "What are you doing here?" I asked Hurtha.	10
5	222	Boabissia was not in furs and leather.	10
5	230	Boabissia, however, was presumably unaware of these things.	10
5	270	"No," said Boabissia.	10
5	316	"For that is what you are, Boabissia," he said.	10
5	326	"You have always been such, Boabissia," he said, "though perhaps, amongst the wagons, you did not realize it".	10
5	348	Tula, scarcely lifting her head, pressed her lips to the sandals of Boabissia, kissing them.	10
5	350	I then conducted Boabissia to the vicinity of Feiqa.	10
5	352	Feiqa pressed her lips to the sandals of Boabissia, kissing them.	10
5	354	"What?" inquired Boabissia, imperiously.	10
5	355	Feiqa again pressed her lips to Boabissia's sandals, kissing them.	10
5	357	"These slaves," I said to Boabissia, "as you are a free woman, are at your disposal.	10
5	360	"I understand," said Boabissia.	10
5	362	"That is a common courtesy," said Boabissia.	10
5	364	"Of course," said Boabissia.	10
5	366	"I understand," said Boabissia.	10
5	371	"Oh!" said Boabissia.	10
5	392	I saw the fists of Boabissia clench.	10
5	394	"Put that slut back, behind the wagon," said Boabissia, "where she, like the animal she is, led, may follow with the other".	10
5	396	"Yes, please," said Boabissia, angrily.	10
5	398	I decided I would do this, at least this time, in deference to the wishes of Boabissia.	10
5	422	I think she enjoyed being disturbing to Boabissia.	10
5	426	I heard Boabissia gasp, and then she turned away.	10
5	428	I wondered if Boabissia had thought of herself, in the instant of her gasp, as so bound.	10
5	471	I saw Boabissia turn and look back at Feiqa, on her neck rope.	10
5	474	Such a movement might provoke a beating from a free woman even more tolerant than Boabissia.	10
5	478	In effect, it said, "Behold, I am on a man's neck rope; I wear a slave tunic; I am branded; I am collared; my hands have been tied behind my back; I am desired; I am so beautiful that I have been made a slave; I am better than you, free woman; I am a thousand thousand times better than you!" Boabiss...	10
5	481	The thought passed through my mind, idly, that Boabissia might look well in slave silk.	10
5	492	I wondered why Boabissia had come to the wagons.	10
5	509	Boabissia, moving with the motion of the wagon, swaying with its motion, rode on the wagon box.	10
6	51	"I am quite hungry, Hurtha," said Boabissia.	10
6	63	Boabissia, a free woman, must wait for us, of course, while we pleasured ourselves with the slaves.	10
6	88	Mincon and Boabissia might get off, I thought, watching them eat.	10
6	91	Boabissia was fresh from the wagons.	10
7	4	"It is well past noon!" said Boabissia.	10
7	17	"You are all monsters, and lazy sleen," said Boabissia.	10
7	19	"Then I suggest you attend to it," said Boabissia.	10
7	24	"Please!" Boabissia had been a pain all morning.	10
7	27	"We are alone on the road," said Boabissia.	10
7	32	"Brigands might only slay you," said Boabissia, "but I am a free woman! I have much more to fear! I might be put in a collar, and made a slave! Like those sluts in the back! You could have thought of me! You never think of me!" How is it, I wondered, that each time I put my food down, my head hurts.	10
7	39	Too, it was not true that we never thought of Boabissia.	10
7	58	"Drunken tarsks, all of you!" said Boabissia.	10
7	63	"There is none left," said Boabissia.	10
7	65	"Yes," said Boabissia.	10
7	77	How marvelous are slaves! "If you had listened to me," said Boabissia to Mincon, "we would have been on the road more than four Ahn ago!" I swung up to the wagon box.	10
7	81	Boabissia looked at me, angrily.	10
7	94	Boabissia looked at me in fury.	10
7	98	Boabissia struck down at the lid of the wagon box, serving as her bench, with her small fists.	10
8	2	He and Boabissia rose to their feet, looking ahead.	10
8	3	I climbed on the spokes of the front wheel, near Boabissia.	10
8	17	"What is it?" asked Boabissia.	10
8	143	Boabissia sat white-faced on the wagon box.	10
8	155	Boabissia looked at me.	10
8	168	"I would like for this fellow to sit on the wagon box, Boabissia," I said.	10
8	170	Boabissia, saying nothing, crawled into the back of the wagon.	10
9	8	Boabissia, now again on the wagon box, beside Mincon, looked down at Hurtha, frightened.	10
9	81	"How long will it take to reach the city?" asked Boabissia.	10
9	97	"Who is this?" asked the captain, indicating Boabissia.	10
9	100	"I am an Alar woman," said Boabissia.	10
9	103	Boabissia's small hands clenched.	10
9	105	He held it up for Boabissia to regard.	10
9	117	"Oh!" said Boabissia.	10
9	124	Boabissia looked in fear at the captain.	10
9	127	"No," said the captain, regarding Boabissia, who looked straight ahead, terrified, the tiny metal disk on its thong about her throat, "there are not so many such as these, these days, free females, in Torcadino".	10
9	133	"Why did you not protect me?" Boabissia asked Hurtha.	10
9	137	"Does Boabissia need protection?" asked Hurtha.	10
9	143	"We can strip Boabissia and sell her," said Hurtha.	10
9	144	"Hurtha!" cried Boabissia.	10
9	168	"I shall not listen to such things!" said Boabissia.	10
9	218	"Selling Boabissia?" asked Mincon.	10
9	219	Boabissia's ankles squirmed in the thongs.	10
9	224	"I am glad to hear that," said Boabissia.	10
9	226	"I am eager to hear it, I assure you," said Boabissia.	10
9	231	"What?" asked Boabissia.	10
9	266	"Untie me," said Boabissia.	10
10	1	We Proceed to the Wagon Yards "It is not necessary to look at those things," I said to Boabissia.	10
10	53	Boabissia was quiet.	10
10	64	I glanced at Boabissia.	10
11	1	We Decide Boabissia Will Render Services, Helping Out with Our Finances "Perhaps you remember me," said the fellow.	10
11	38	Boabissia, too, incidentally, was illiterate.	10
11	212	Boabissia, of course, was also illiterate.	10
11	241	"Untie my ankles," said Boabissia.	10
11	244	Boabissia tried to scramble to her feet but, bound as she was, she fell.	10
11	246	"What are you doing?" cried Boabissia.	10
11	248	"What are you doing?" asked Boabissia.	10
11	249	"You have seen several of the fellows about looking at Boabissia, haven't you?" asked Hurtha of me.	10
11	253	"It is time you earned your keep, Boabissia," said Hurtha.	10
11	265	"Relax, Boabissia," I encouraged her.	10
11	291	He thrust Boabissia's dress up, high, over her breasts.	10
11	306	"No!" wept Boabissia.	10
11	314	"How do you feel?" I asked Boabissia.	10
11	319	I looked at Boabissia.	10
11	353	Boabissia turned away from me, apparently not wanting to meet my eyes.	10
12	47	I looked over to Boabissia.	10
12	102	"Boabissia heard it, too," I said.	10
13	63	I was behind him, closely, and then came Hurtha, and then, close behind him, Boabissia.	10
13	64	Behind Boabissia, ropes on their necks, the captor's termini of these hempen confinements in the grip of Hurtha, came Feiqa and Tula.	10
13	112	"Look!" said Boabissia, pointing ahead and to our left, as we crossed an intersection, that beyond the third barrier.	10
13	118	"Slaves!" said Boabissia disparagingly, in disgust.	10
13	120	"Oh," said Boabissia, frightened.	10
13	166	"Oh!" said Boabissia, at the same time.	10
13	168	"Clumsy slave!" cried Boabissia, angrily.	10
13	175	"Clumsy slave!" scolded Boabissia.	10
13	183	Obediently the frightened girl kissed Boabissia's feet, desperately, fervently.	10
13	184	"Clumsy slave," said Boabissia, angrily.	10
13	186	The soldier drew up her head and bent her backwards, before Boabissia.	10
13	191	"No," said Boabissia.	10
13	350	We then followed him, Hurtha and I, and Boabissia, the hempen leashes of Tula and Feiqa in the grasp of Hurtha.	10
14	96	"Alars do not read," said Boabissia, proudly.	10
15	80	In Boabissia's case, however, we had only charged a tarsk bit.	10
15	85	Incidentally, what we had charged for the use of Boabissia was the same as would have been charged for the use of a slave, and a low slave.	10
15	86	We had not, however, called that to the attention of Boabissia.	10
15	131	I wondered about Boabissia.	10
15	141	I thought it might be fun to sell Boabissia.	10
16	19	Nearby, Hurtha and Boabissia were asleep.	10
16	410	I had reservations about taking Hurtha and Boabissia into danger.	10
16	421	If Hurtha came with me, however, it seemed that Boabissia should be left behind.	10
16	425	I wondered what Boabissia would look like on a bench, in such a predicament.	10
16	434	I wondered if I should speak to Hurtha and Boabissia.	10
16	1019	"He and Boabissia are waiting for you, outside".	10
16	1024	"Boabissia is determined to go to Ar.	10
16	1050	"Greetings," said Boabissia.	10
16	1097	"Now, move, all of you!" I resheathed the steel and, with Hurtha and Boabissia, now again followed by Feiqa, moved with the throng down the Avenue of Adminius toward the great gate of Torcadino.	10
16	1098	"How terrible it must be to be a slave," said Boabissia, "and have to submit to whatever men choose to do to you".	10
16	1104	"She is a sweet little slave," said Boabissia, condescendingly.	10
16	1109	In Feiqa's opinion, of course, Boabissia, having come from the Alar camp, was little better, if any better, than a simple barbarian.	10
16	1114	"I suppose you are right," said Boabissia.	10
16	1116	"Yes, perhaps," said Boabissia, uneasily.	10
16	1127	"That is true," granted Boabissia.	10
16	1147	"What a slut," said Boabissia.	10
16	1186	"That would be absurd," said Boabissia, angrily.	10
16	1188	"To be sure," I said to Boabissia, "you are in somewhat greater danger than many free women for you have not chosen to veil yourself".	10
16	1194	I supposed if Hurtha had encountered Boabissia under somewhat different circumstances his relationship to her would have been considerably different, for example, if he had bought her in a slave market.	10
16	1196	"You do want to be safe, don't you?" I asked Boabissia.	10
16	1215	Boabissia turned about and glared at him.	10
16	1225	"I am pretty, am I not?" asked Boabissia.	10
16	1229	"And I would bring a high price, would I not?" asked Boabissia.	10
16	1254	Boabissia began to hum an Alar tune.	10
16	1267	"Ah," said another, regarding Boabissia.	10
16	1271	Boabissia would walk straightly by these fellows, regally, her head high, seemingly ignoring them, apparently not even deigning to glance at them.	10
16	1283	Boabissia laughed, not looking at him.	10
16	1292	The long garments, usually worn by free women, such as that now worn by Boabissia, might cover certain defects of gait perhaps, but when one's legs are bared, as a slave's commonly are, one must walk with beauty and grace.	10
16	1299	I considered Boabissia.	10
16	1304	Yes, it seemed to me that Boabissia might even be ready to walk in a slave tunic.	10
16	1381	Boabissia laughed merrily, but, I thought, a bit uneasily, uncertainly.	10
16	1391	Boabissia made a noise, one I think intended to desperately simulate a laugh.	10
16	1399	Boabissia, interestingly, though quite comely, was spared this indignity.	10
16	1402	I also suspected, after a few Ehn, that Boabissia's immunity from Gorean Strip Search, in spite of the promise of pleasure to the guards of such a search, might be due to her party, that she was with us.	10
16	1436	"What are we to do?" asked Boabissia, uneasily.	10
16	1438	Boabissia and I, then, followed by Hurtha and Feiqa, she bearing my pack, set out, with others, toward the pennons.	10
16	1444	"That is a longer route, is it not?" asked Boabissia.	10
16	1482	I then crossed it, too, the plank bending under my weight, and was followed by Boabissia, and Hurtha, and Feiqa.	10
16	1497	"Look," said Boabissia.	10
16	1508	"She does not speak," said Boabissia.	10
16	1512	"Oh," said Boabissia.	10
16	1547	"Wait," said Boabissia.	10
16	1549	"She was not fully pleasing," said Boabissia.	10
16	1552	"Are you not going to strike her?" asked Boabissia.	10
16	1559	"Men are weak," said Boabissia.	10
16	1563	"You were not fully pleasing to your master of the night," said Boabissia, sternly.	10
16	1567	"What are you?" asked Boabissia.	10
16	1570	"Then it is up to you to be pleasing," said Boabissia.	10
16	1572	"Fully pleasing," said Boabissia.	10
16	1574	"But you were not," said Boabissia.	10
16	1576	"You must then be punished," said Boabissia.	10
16	1578	"She has already been punished," I said to Boabissia.	10
16	1580	"No," said Boabissia.	10
16	1586	"You see, Boabissia?" I asked.	10
16	1587	"She is lying," said Boabissia.	10
16	1595	"You are apparently more tolerant than I of inadequacies in a slave," said Boabissia.	10
16	1599	"I know females," said Boabissia.	10
16	1606	"If you are not strict with slaves," said Boabissia, "they will grow lax, and then arrogant, and then begin to assume the airs of free persons".	10
16	1608	"They must be kept under perfect discipline," said Boabissia, "absolutely uncompromising and perfect discipline".	10
16	1610	Boabissia drew back the whip.	10
16	1616	"I am a free woman," said Boabissia, "and I shall do as I please".	10
16	1619	"Men are weak," said Boabissia.	10
16	1622	Boabissia then, holding to the butt of the whip with two hands, swung it back, the lashes separated, free.	10
16	1624	Boabissia then, taking her time, struck her five times.	10
16	1627	"Now will you be pleasing to your masters?" asked Boabissia.	10
16	1629	"Now have you learned your lesson?" asked Boabissia.	10
16	1632	"She is now telling the truth," said Boabissia.	10
16	1636	But in that instant I saw that what Boabissia had said was true.	10
16	1639	"Now," said Boabissia, "let us go".	10
16	1641	"You must learn how to handle women," said Boabissia.	10
16	1731	"How beautiful it is," said Boabissia.	10
16	1756	"It is very beautiful," said Hurtha, "as was observed even by Boabissia, who is only a female".	10
16	1795	"Let us go," said Boabissia.	10
16	1830	"Let us be on our way," said Boabissia.	10
17	10	In a few Ehn Boabissia, Hurtha and I, and Feiqa, would be again on our way.	10
17	18	Boabissia came up to me.	10
17	23	"You are looking pretty, Feiqa," observed Boabissia, somewhat critically.	10
17	26	"Slavery apparently agrees with you, slut," said Boabissia.	10
17	30	"That is our cart," said Boabissia.	10
17	35	"Finish that packing, lazy slut," said Boabissia to Feiqa.	10
17	37	"Hurry!" "Yes, Mistress!" "Do you wish to be switched for dawdling?" "No, Mistress!" Boabissia then went to awaken Hurtha.	10
18	16	I glanced at Boabissia.	10
18	101	I rose to my feet and went to stand beside Boabissia.	10
18	119	"What will I find in Ar?" asked Boabissia.	10
18	126	"Very well," I said, "but why Ar? Why not any one of a thousand other cities and towns?" I did not think that Boabissia would appreciate being informed that she was indeed not only unlike the usual Alar woman, but that she was of a quite different sort, a sort that many Goreans were familiar with, a...	10
18	130	It seemed that nothing less would do for Boabissia.	10
18	139	Whereas Boabissia's vanity may well have been involved in this, clearly she did not seem to be of Alar blood, and, as I had heard, the caravan in which she had been discovered as an infant had indeed been one of size and presumed opulence.	10
18	140	It thus seemed to me, as well as to Boabissia, though I had not expressed this view to her, that Ar was the most likely point of origin for the caravan in question.	10
18	153	"Look at those poor women," said Boabissia.	10
18	172	"I am certain," said Boabissia, happily, fingering the small copper disk at her neck, "that I am of lofty birth, and high station.	10
18	182	"Feiqa is looking well lately," said Boabissia, somewhat critically.	10
18	184	"What are you doing with her at night?" asked Boabissia.	10
18	187	"I see," said Boabissia.	10
18	190	"Yes," said Boabissia.	10
18	195	"Perhaps," said Boabissia.	10
18	197	"I do not think you have beaten her much lately," said Boabissia.	10
18	199	"Why not?" asked Boabissia.	10
18	201	"'Trained,'" said Boabissia.	10
18	204	"Of course," said Boabissia.	10
18	208	"Of course," said Boabissia.	10
18	213	"Perhaps," said Boabissia, "but I think it is still good for them to feel the whip once in a while".	10
18	246	"Is it true that she begged bondage," asked Boabissia, "that she chose slavery of her own free will?" "Yes," I said.	10
18	247	"What a fool," said Boabissia.	10
18	252	"You do not think so?" asked Boabissia.	10
18	254	"Why not?" asked Boabissia.	10
18	256	"Some wicked, low women?" asked Boabissia.	10
18	259	"If some women are natural slaves, and know this in their hearts," I said, "would you prefer that they conceal this from the world? Do such lies please you? Do you commend them, truly? Would you advise these women to indulge in deceit, to rejoice in the practice of hypocrisy? What do you say to thei...	10
18	261	"That is absurd," said Boabissia.	10
18	267	"Of course," said Boabissia.	10
18	269	"Yes," said Boabissia, "as she is such a slut".	10
18	271	"I think it was fitting, that it was fully appropriate," said Boabissia, uneasily, "but I do not think it was her actual duty to have done so".	10
18	273	"Or of a very desperate one," said Boabissia, "perhaps one who has fought with herself for so long and so painfully that at last she can stand it no longer, and in piteous surrender and relief flings herself to the feet of a man, where she belongs".	10
18	275	"Such a fate is appropriate for natural slaves," said Boabissia scornfully.	10
18	280	"Oh?" asked Boabissia.	10
18	282	"No!" cried Boabissia.	10
18	284	"No!" said Boabissia.	10
18	286	Boabissia clung to the rail, gasping.	10
19	5	"What is wrong?" asked Boabissia, her hair wet and loose, come from the nearby stream, where she had washed it.	10
19	12	"There is supposedly a checkpoint down the road," said Boabissia.	10
19	15	"We were all about," said Boabissia.	10
19	18	"The blade was in the sheath, was it not," asked Boabissia, "and the sheath beside you?" "Yes," I said, "and the sheath was on its strap, slung about my shoulder.	10
19	27	"Such skill seems impossible," said Boabissia.	10
19	30	"But who is about here?" asked Boabissia.	10
19	39	"Feiqa," said Boabissia.	10
19	42	"Did you see anything?" asked Boabissia.	10
19	44	"Stupid slave," said Boabissia.	10
19	50	"In this camp," said Boabissia, "it seems unlikely that there could have been so skilled a thief".	10
19	52	"I think Feiqa took them," said Boabissia.	10
19	54	"Let her be tortured for the truth," said Boabissia.	10
19	58	"It would have been difficult for her to have done so," I told Boabissia, "for last night her hands were chained behind her, that she might awaken me intimately, not using her hands, at dawn".	10
19	59	"Disgusting," said Boabissia.	10
19	62	"Disgusting," said Boabissia.	10
19	64	"That is true," granted Boabissia.	10
19	66	"True," said Boabissia.	10
19	70	How Boabissia hated Feiqa! Did she really think it was wrong, or improper, for Feiqa to give her master such incredible pleasure? I did not think so.	10
19	73	I think it was rather that she was intensely jealous of Feiqa, that she keenly resented that she, the proud Boabissia, being free, was not subject to the same imperious enforcements.	10
19	74	"No thief so skilled, surely," said Boabissia, "would be with the refugees".	10
19	79	"It could not have been Feiqa," I said to Boabissia.	10
19	81	"Then who?" asked Boabissia.	10
19	82	"Perhaps you," said Hurtha, coming up behind Boabissia and holding her by the upper arms, from behind.	10
19	84	"No," said Boabissia.	10
19	88	"No, no!" said Boabissia.	10
19	102	"Some of the carts, and many of the refugees, have already left," said Boabissia, pulling free of Hurtha's hands, he loosening his grip.	10
19	110	"You are a slave," snapped Boabissia, "and, as such, are subject to torture, or to whatever free persons desire to do to you".	10
19	113	Boabissia made as though to accompany me, but Hurtha's hand on her arm stayed her.	10
19	216	"We are ready to go," said Boabissia coming up to me.	10
19	267	"How will we be able to pass?" whispered Boabissia, whom I helped down, through the cart gate.	10
19	308	"You are quite a wit," observed Boabissia.	10
19	318	"Be pleased that Hurtha does not strike you to the ground with a heavy blow," said Boabissia.	10
19	332	"I can recite it to Boabissia".	10
19	365	Boabissia, as I occasionally noted, with an admixture of skepticism and envy, seemed enraptured.	10
19	394	"What is it?" asked Boabissia.	10
19	396	Boabissia averted her eyes, sick.	10
19	441	"What were the papers?" asked Boabissia.	10
19	455	The free woman is Boabissia, a woman from the Alar camp.	10
19	467	Boabissia was shuddering.	10
19	495	"What were the papers nailed to the pole?" asked Boabissia.	10
20	2	Boabissia rose from her seat to stand by the front railing of the fee cart.	10
20	10	"Ah!" cried Boabissia.	10
20	57	"Would you like a drink?" I asked Boabissia.	10
20	70	I bought some wedges of Sa-Tarna bread and slices of dried tarsk meat, taking some and giving the rest to Boabissia and Hurtha.	10
20	78	"I cannot wait," said Boabissia, "to claim my patrimony".	10
21	22	"That sounds nice," said Boabissia.	10
21	32	"I am not afraid," said Boabissia.	10
21	34	"I can take care of myself," said Boabissia.	10
21	36	"I am not stupid," said Boabissia.	10
21	39	Boabissia regarded him in fury.	10
21	51	Boabissia, as I have mentioned, did not much resemble the typical Alar women.	10
21	268	"Ah!" said Boabissia.	10
21	279	And Boabissia, too, drank, lifting water delicately to her lips.	10
21	297	"What a stupid slave," said Boabissia.	10
21	310	"A chair, with soldiers, is coming," said Boabissia.	10
21	316	"It is a woman's chair, is it not?" asked Boabissia.	10
21	343	"What is wrong?" asked Boabissia.	10
21	381	"What is the name of the place?" asked Boabissia.	10
21	383	"I do not like the sound of that," said Boabissia.	10
22	1	The Insula of Achiates; Feiqa Will Be Punished; The Whip Will Be Suitable for the Purpose "The stench is terrible," said Boabissia.	10
22	14	Behind me came Boabissia.	10
22	35	"I cannot stand the smell," said Boabissia.	10
22	40	"We could have had a better place were it not for something," said Boabissia, irritably.	10
22	50	"It is dark," said Boabissia.	10
22	64	"This place stinks," said Boabissia.	10
22	68	"There are families here?" asked Boabissia.	10
22	73	"It is stuffy," said Boabissia.	10
22	77	"It is hot," said Boabissia.	10
22	79	"It is so dark," said Boabissia.	10
22	81	"You should have lamps illuminating the stairs," said Boabissia.	10
22	87	"Oh," said Boabissia, sobered.	10
22	122	"Oh!" cried Boabissia, on the next landing.	10
22	133	Boabissia was silent.	10
22	148	"Oh!" said Boabissia, recoiling.	10
22	168	"Go away, you disgusting child," said Boabissia.	10
22	170	"I have a good mind to strike you," said Boabissia.	10
22	191	"Go away," said Boabissia.	10
22	195	"Go away," said Boabissia.	10
22	220	"What a disgusting child," said Boabissia.	10
22	225	"It would be the same with you, Boabissia," I said, "if you were a slave.	10
22	232	"It is stifling," said Boabissia.	10
22	264	"Disgusting," said Boabissia.	10
22	280	"Frightful," said Boabissia.	10
22	282	"It is too small, it is too dirty, I can hardly breathe up here," said Boabissia.	10
22	284	"I cannot stay here," said Boabissia.	10
22	287	"Is there no light?" asked Boabissia.	10
22	290	"It is dirty here, and hot," said Boabissia.	10
22	295	"I will not stay here," said Boabissia, firmly.	10
22	297	"I feel faint," said Boabissia.	10
22	300	"It is too hot in here," said Boabissia.	10
22	303	"I think I will be sick," said Boabissia.	10
22	305	"This is a terrible place," said Boabissia.	10
22	312	"I came to Ar to claim my patrimony," said Boabissia, "not to suffocate and roast in a loft".	10
22	316	"I will not stay here," repeated Boabissia.	10
22	327	"Surely you did not pay a copper tarsk for this place," said Boabissia.	10
22	356	"This is a terrible place," said Boabissia.	10
22	370	How else is happiness, or fulfillment, to be obtained? Boabissia, I was sure, was confused and unsettled within herself.	10
22	402	In any event, no longer did Boabissia affect the demeanor, attitudes, and postures of an Alar warrior.	10
23	130	I did not know where Boabissia was now.	10
24	1	The Origins of Boabissia; She Learns Them "And this was found about your throat as a baby, in the wreckage of a caravan, by Alars?" he asked.	10
24	5	"Yes," said Boabissia.	10
24	7	"Yes," said Boabissia.	10
24	25	"Where is Boabissia?" I asked.	10
24	35	Boabissia was not the sort of person who would think of a slave's comfort.	10
24	59	"If all is well then," I said, "let us rejoice for Boabissia, and her good fortune".	10
24	62	"Boabissia will like that," he said.	10
24	135	"Lead us to the place Boabissia found," I said.	10
24	140	Boabissia would have approved of that.	10
24	147	It was indeed quite similar to that which was on Boabissia's small disk.	10
24	148	I now recalled what Boabissia's disk had reminded me of.	10
24	154	"Boabissia has already entered?" I asked.	10
24	163	"Yes," said Boabissia.	10
24	165	"Yes," said Boabissia.	10
24	170	Boabissia smiled at Hurtha and myself.	10
24	189	"I think," said Boabissia, "that it may afford a clue to my identity".	10
24	193	"I assure you, I did not," said Boabissia.	10
24	198	"Is it not the same as the sign on your house?" asked Boabissia.	10
24	201	Boabissia cast me an angry look.	10
24	204	"But that is right!" exclaimed Boabissia.	10
24	209	"You see!" said Boabissia to me, triumphantly.	10
24	211	"He is jealous," said Boabissia to the fellow.	10
24	215	"Your rightful deserts?" "Yes, my rightful deserts, my rightful dues," said Boabissia.	10
24	220	"All I want," said Boabissia, "is exactly what I deserve".	10
24	257	I thought that was a rather nasty thrust on the part of Boabissia.	10
24	261	Boabissia could occasionally get on one's nerves in this fashion.	10
24	264	"That would be my impression," said Boabissia.	10
24	266	"Yes," said Boabissia.	10
24	273	"Perhaps," said Boabissia.	10
24	280	"Yes," said Boabissia.	10
24	285	"Let us go, Boabissia," I suggested.	10
24	291	Boabissia glanced at Hurtha and myself.	10
24	293	"Let us go, Boabissia," I suggested.	10
24	297	"Leave, if you wish," said Boabissia.	10
24	299	"I have no idea," said Boabissia.	10
24	311	"Is this not the house?" asked Boabissia.	10
24	315	Boabissia threw me a pleased glance.	10
24	320	"Do not dally, please," said Boabissia.	10
24	323	"Look!" said Boabissia, joyfully.	10
24	325	The disk also had some device on it, as did Boabissia's, but I could not see it well from the distance.	10
24	332	"Hurry!" said Boabissia.	10
24	334	He picked up the disk which had been Boabissia's from the desk, looked at it, and then checked it against something in the book.	10
24	337	He then rose to his feet and approached Boabissia.	10
24	338	"Yes?" said Boabissia.	10
24	341	"You see!" cried Boabissia, almost leaping in place, elatedly, triumphantly to Hurtha and myself.	10
24	351	"Do so, immediately," I said to Boabissia, sternly.	10
24	362	He indicated the book and the disk which had been within it, and Boabissia's disk.	10
24	365	There was no number on it, but the "Tau" on it was identical to that on Boabissia's disk.	10
24	368	I examined Boabissia's disk.	10
24	373	There, at the head of one of the entries, identifying it, and correlated with it, was the number which had been on Boabissia's disk.	10
24	374	"The caravan in whose wreckage you were found," said the fellow to Boabissia, "was a slave caravan".	10
24	375	Boabissia looked at him, regarding him with horror.	10
24	392	"I was only an infant," whispered Boabissia.	10
24	407	"Your caravan?" whispered Boabissia.	10
24	412	"But I was only an infant," whispered Boabissia.	10
24	414	"It is in the entry," I informed Boabissia.	10
24	416	"I was sold to you in my infancy?" said Boabissia.	10
24	434	"Stand straight," he said to Boabissia.	10
24	435	Boabissia, frightened, straightened her body.	10
24	436	Hurtha made a noise of approval, pleased at seeing Boabissia under male command.	10
24	437	I, too, I must admit, was pleased to see this, to see Boabissia obeying.	10
24	452	"Was she of Ar?" asked Boabissia.	10
24	455	"Oh," said Boabissia.	10
24	459	He then looked upon Boabissia.	10
24	461	Boabissia nodded, tears in her eyes.	10
24	473	He turned to Boabissia.	10
24	492	"I had not realized Boabissia was so valuable," said Hurtha.	10
24	493	Boabissia glanced at Hurtha, startled.	10
24	495	Boabissia looked away from Hurtha then, swiftly, not daring to meet his eyes.	10
24	516	Boabissia regarded me with horror.	10
24	521	Boabissia moaned.	10
24	535	He whose office it was gestured toward Boabissia.	10
24	538	Boabissia pulled against the bracelets, weakly.	10
24	558	Boabissia knelt.	10
24	583	The fellow who had come in, responding to the summons of the small bell, snapped one end of a long slave leash on Boabissia's throat.	10
24	615	I had never seen Boabissia look so lovely.	10
25	2	It was now in the evening of the day in which Boabissia had hurried into the house marked with the "Tau" near the call rope.	10
25	9	He had entertained Hurtha and myself, sharing some fine paga with us, of the House of Temus, my favorite, after Boabissia had been removed from the room, presumably to be transported to his house of business.	10
25	12	The Tau on Boabissia's disk had reminded me, I suppose, of his Tau.	10
25	14	I had not realized, of course, that the current design of Tenalion's Tau had been changed from an older one, that which had appeared on Boabissia's disk.	10
27	2	It was he to whom Boabissia had earlier, inadvertently, returned herself, his slave.	10
27	160	Indeed, when Boabissia had returned herself to Tenalion, only one silver tarsk had changed hands.	10
