20	60	I backed rapidly along the bridge and another quarrel sped past me, striking sparks from the stone tower behind me.	10
20	61	Now I could see several more guardsmen rushing toward the bridge.	10
20	63	I turned and began to hack at the ropes that bound the swaying bridge to the tower.	10
20	72	The bridge began to rock and sag on its ropes and several men from the building began to thunder across towards me.	10
20	73	Then there was a horrified cry as one rope was cut and the flooring of the bridge suddenly pitched, throwing several of the guardsmen to the ground below.	10
20	75	I struck again and the other rope burst from my stroke and the bridge swung rapidly back against the wall of the building opposite with a clatter of sticks and cries, knocking the remaining, clinging guardsmen from it, dropping them like wood senseless to the foot of the wall.	10

4	62	"A knife on the high bridge," said I, "in the vicinity of the Cylinder of Warriors—at the Twentieth Ahn—in the darkness and the shadows of the lamps".	10
4	67	The Older Tarl, the Koroban master of arms, and myself had found the body, and near it, the patch of green caught in a crack in the grillwork of one of the lamps on the bridge, where perhaps it had been torn from the shoulder of a running, stumbling man.	10
5	514	Once a slave girl bumped into her on one of the bridges and struck at her, thinking she was only slave, but Elizabeth, with a swift blow of her small fist, downed the girl, and managed to seize one ankle and prevent her from tumbling from the bridge.	10
5	516	At this point Elizabeth hit her again, almost knocking her once more from the bridge.	10
5	544	The slave girl had backed off, looking as though she might topple off the bridge in sheer terror.	10
5	573	"Well," said Elizabeth, turning to me, who had been standing there, as flabbergasted as any on the bridge, "we shall have some".	10
5	580	"No, you will not," she said, with one foot kicking Relia's discarded Robes of Concealment from the bridge.	10
5	582	Then, arm in arm, the three girls started off down the bridge.	10
5	619	Further, I did have the business of vengeance to attend to, for there was a Warrior from Thentis who had died on a Koroban bridge, whose blood surely required the justice of the sword.	10
8	142	I was troubled for a moment, but it passed, recalling that the Warrior who had been slain presumably in my stead on the bridge in the vicinity of the Cylinder of Warriors in Ko-ro-ba had been of Thentis.	10
13	18	It is one thing to drop a loop about a girl on a high bridge in streaking over the walls and quite another to pick up the daughter of an Administrator in her own quarters and make off with her.	10

12	832	Perhaps, discovering she was free, unbranded, her captor would angrily rectify that omission and soon return her, stripped, bound and helpless, to the very bridge from which she had been captured, that guardsmen might find her there and remand her into custody, that she might become then a despised ...	10

17	31	In the cleared angle of the bridge, the defenders mounted to the bridge itself and there, behind the barrier, and about it, stanched the flow of men upward, holding them on the planking of the bridge, between the tower and the wall.	10
17	29	The second great pole was tied on two crosspoles and, by ten men on each crosspole, was thrust in place as soon as that bridge fell, and was held at an angle, like a railing, its sturdy barrier diverting the stream of attackers, causing many on the outside edge to be buffeted by their comrades to th...	10
17	44	At another bridge, Vosk fishermen, from the vicinity of Ar's Station, fought, perhaps men who had merely been trapped in the city when the Cosians had taken their positions, and, at another bridge, huntsmen, from the interior, perhaps similarly detained.	10
17	57	At the bridge of the huntsmen loops of tarn wire were cast over the armed, halted efflux which the foe, to his horror, trying to extricate himself, felt draw tight and then he, too, snared, was dragged from the bridge.	10
1	450	It surmounted a post which was at the right corner of the wagon bridge, over the moat, ascending toward the inn gate above me.	10
1	456	I trod the wet gravel toward the left side of the wagon bridge.	10
1	464	There are, of course, various other approaches to such problems, for example, attempting to bridge the moat, perhaps using dugout pontoons, having recourse to rafts on which one might mount siege ladders, and even attempting to fill it.	10
1	484	The water in the moat, from the inpourings from the land about, the drainages, dark and roiling, was almost to the foot of the bridge.	10
1	485	The lantern to my right, to the side, on its post, at the right side of the bridge, swung wildly in the rain and wind.	10
1	490	The boards of the bridge were slick with water.	10
1	496	Two massive ropes, better than eight inches in diameter, sloped down from the gate structure to the bridge, which allowed for the raising and lowering of a portion of it at will.	10
1	512	There was a wagon to the left of the bridge.	10
1	627	I then turned away, and began to ascend the bridge, leading up to the gate.	10
2	282	I recalled that the porter, when I had come to the outer gate, at the height of the bridge over the moat, seeing that I was not a female, had made me show money, and a considerable amount of it, before he had admitted me.	10
5	526	Some authorities recommend breaking the kantharos into shards on the face, taking the target above the bridge of the nose with the rim.	10
8	186	As she held her hands before her, rather to the bridge of the nose, they concealed the lower portions of her face, much as would a veil.	10
8	753	I then made three passes near the Crooked Tarn, two over the palisade, over the tarn wire, and a third near its bridge and gate.	10
8	796	On the third flight in the vicinity of the inn I examined, hovering briefly, the area near the foot of the plateau, by the bridge.	10
12	278	I could see little, but it seemed to be a delicate head, covered closely with a white, scarflike turban, and I saw deep eyes, and a bit of veil, over the bridge of a fine, delicate nose.	10
16	60	It is better, I think, for the individual attacker, particularly if the walls are high, over twenty feet, say, to try to enter over the bridge of a siege tower or, even better, through a breached wall or gate.	10
17	27	One, a foot thick and twenty feet in length, managed by ten men with ropes, mounted at an angle of some twenty degrees on an improvised pivot of heaped stone, swept the bridge an instant after it struck the crenelation, then tumbled off, used once, to fall behind the parapet.	10
17	32	At two of the bridges tiles and bricks, some two feet in length and six inches in height and width, met the attackers, not so much to stay the force of the attack as litter the bridge itself, that rushing men, not suspecting them, might stumble and fall.	10
17	40	At the termination of another bridge we had broken away an opening in the walkway, enlarging a gap about stairs.	10
17	55	At the fishermen's bridge the net was cast, but its weights were not now stones.	10
17	60	Its two free ends were weighted, secured about heavy posts which were then toppled over the parapets, this causing at one time the tightening of the loops and the dragging of the catch not now into the air, where it dangles helplessly, upside down, awaiting the convenience of the huntsman, perhaps t...	10
17	65	At both bridges, following the success of the devices of the fishermen and huntsmen, the temporary consternation of hesitant successors permitted defenders to take their place, too, on the shaking bridge, where, in moments, they had pressed their way back even to the edge of the flooring, that of th...	10
17	70	I do not think the first fellows hurrying down the bridge even saw it.	10
17	72	Pikes thrust forth from behind the parapet, and at the sides, and over the planks, of the dropped bridge, where it projected beyond the crenelation on which it rested.	10
17	82	On two others some, with axes, literally chopped away at the bridge, behind their fellows.	10
17	92	Some defenders leapt back to the wall, and the bridge, cut in pieces, sagged behind them.	10
17	99	The draw bridge hung down, leading now only to the air.	10
17	140	One whose ropes had been cut had its bridge hanging down, against the front of the tower, useless.	10
17	146	It is better for the attackers, usually, to have the tower isolated, back from the wall, and to be able to control its bridge without concern for the defenders.	10
17	147	Thus they may lower it when they will and raise it when they will, perhaps after a retreat, transforming the tower then into what, in effect, is a small, inaccessible, impregnable keep, with its moat of space, a keep, however, whose bridge might then, suddenly, at any moment of the day or night, dro...	10
17	156	I saw more Cosians spew forth from a tower, over its bridge, and fall into tarn wire, and meet the pikes of defenders.	10
17	269	There more Cosians leapt from the bridge of a tower, clambering and stumbling over the bodies of others, tangled lifeless and wounded in the wire.	10
17	300	More Cosians leapt from the bridge of a tower, down onto the bodies and wire, climbing over them, hurrying to join the fray.	10
19	61	It seemed odd, where we were, at the new end of that walkway, at the end of what now seemed a meaningless, eccentric bridge leading out from the landing but stopping abruptly in hewn, charred wood.	10

14	1594	I swiftly then made my way toward my previous destination, a point on the wall of the terrace, which wall was, across an expanse of terrace, to the right of a bridge leading from the terrace, which bridge was, across an expanse of terrace, to the right of the balustrade.	10
10	588	No longer need I wait in some windy place, on some lonely bridge or busy street corner, hoping to meet myself.	10
10	830	The soldier, I saw, made his way swiftly across the bridge.	10
10	837	He moved across that narrow bridge swiftly and surely, as had the soldier.	10
10	839	Perhaps the bridge was wide enough and sturdy enough for those accustomed to such things, but it seemed terribly narrow to me, with the drop beneath, let alone the knives.	10
10	843	The bridge shook, and vibrated, with a ringing noise, as we crossed it.	10
10	851	"Do you like our little bridge?" he asked.	10
13	555	These bridges were not such as the earlier "bridge," that which had led toward the surface of the turret, or tower, which had been little more than a flat rail.	10
13	560	I feared him more than the bridge.	10
13	579	We crossed another such bridge.	10
13	582	But he merely unlocked the bridge from its pegs behind us, drew it on our side of the opening, and locked it there, so that it could not be slid back, without being unlocked, from our side.	10
14	786	A bridge, it seemed, had been crossed.	10
14	1561	It gave access, by means of a bridge, to an area in which I had hoped I might obtain certain information.	10
14	1663	I then hurried from her, toward the bridge.	10
14	1668	In only a few moments I had come to the large, flat expanse over the bridge from the terrace.	10
16	94	In typical, modest veiling, that called for by most proprieties, only the eyes and the upper part of the bridge of the nose are exposed.	10
18	14	Numbers of citizens were moving even now across the terrace, and bridge, to the docking area.	10
18	262	There were still people hurrying over the bridge.	10
18	282	I did turn back, at the bridge, to see her kneeling there, in the accustomed place, by the slave ring.	10
18	337	I quickly turned about and hurried over the bridge, toward the docking area.	10
19	1	There were some folk still crossing the bridge, though fewer now that the tarns had alighted.	10
19	2	Some slave girls, too, scurried across the bridge, doubtless eager to see the returned raiders, the mighty mounts, the harvested riches of the venture's predations.	10
19	904	Do you think I do not know in what mountains I am? Do you think I cannot tell the coloration of the Voltai, the Scarlet Mountains? Do you think I am totally unaware of the distances and times I have traveled? Do you think I cannot recognize the accents of the men who brought me here? Do you think I ...	10
19	1212	I then quickly hurried back over the bridge to the terrace, to fetch the Lady Constanzia.	10
24	18	I could see, now, over the balustrade, a line of tarns, perhaps some twenty or so, knifing their way toward some part of the city, to my right, beyond the bridge, beyond the docking area.	10
24	37	Others crossed the bridge, toward the docking area.	10
24	188	Some fled over the bridge.	10
24	235	When I looked up, I realized the one party had gone to seal off the stairway, and the other, that which had run past me, perhaps without even really seeing me, had gone to the bridge.	10
24	305	She fled toward the bridge.	10
24	353	Some defenders of the city, it seemed, doubtless come across the docking area, were now engaged in contest for the bridge leading to the terrace.	10
24	361	There had not been enough men to force the bridge.	10
24	415	Men of Treve, now, in force, I thought, had come to the bridge.	10
24	418	We could hear shouting now, from the vicinity of the bridge.	10
24	453	The intruder was hurrying now about the wall, toward the bridge.	10
24	465	The men at the stairs, as far as I knew, had not had to defend them, unlike the men at the bridge.	10
24	470	An instant later I saw intruders, fleeing past on my left, having come doubtless from the bridge.	10
24	472	In what seemed a breath later I saw guardsmen of Treve, swords drawn, burst onto the terrace, come, too, doubtless from the bridge.	10
24	623	A sign was given and one of the soldiers went down the wall, permitting what slaves were there to leap up and speed from the terrace, some through buildings, some over the bridge, others, crossing the terrace, to descend by the far steps.	10
24	812	It rounded the corner of the wall and would, I take it, cross the bridge, and the docking area, on the way to the pens.	10
24	817	Around the corner, perhaps on the bridge, I heard the crack of the whip, and a cry of fear.	10
24	942	Here and there, on the wall, at the bridge, and to the right, and at certain places on the balustrade, were lamps.	10
24	955	I could see the bridge across the way, that across which the free women, in coffle, had been marched, their arms held up, closely behind them, the elbow of the left arm grasped by the hand of the right, the elbow of the right grasped by the hand of the left.	10
29	410	The color of her hair, on the other hand, as the veil was arranged, it swathing her head, enclosing it save for her eyes and the very top of the bridge of her nose, could not be determined.	10
29	411	The veil was not pinned back, nor merely bound about her lower face, the hood concealing the hair, but enclosed it, as noted, save for the eyes and a bit of the bridge of the nose.	10
29	831	He then put one finger to the height of the veil, where, near her left eye, rather at the bridge of her nose, he pulled it down, ever so little.	10
34	20	In the case of the second man, it seemed that he had neglected to lock two small rods in place, toward the center of the bridge, before sliding it out, into place, without which action, it buckles and turns, as on a hinge.	10
