| 15 | 262 |
Inge and Rena, and the other new girls, followed me, and I took them to the chest at the side of the shed, where I could find them their simple, brief garments of brown rep-cloth, which raiment would constitute their sole work garment in the camp of Rask of Treve. |
10 |
| 15 | 281 |
* * * * Four days after Inge and Rena, and other new girls, had been brought to the secret war camp of Rask of Treve, the tarnsman, and his fierce men, again returned from the work of warriors. |
10 |
| 15 | 282 |
Again there was excitement in the camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 294 |
I heard one of the girls cry out, "How beautiful she is!" I supposed a new female had been brought to the camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 322 |
By the attitude of my master, I could see that she was, somehow, for no reason I could understand, a guest in this camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 336 |
"You are not to lie again in this camp," said Rask of Treve. |
10 |
| 15 | 342 |
"Permit me, Verna," said Rask of Treve, "to show you the rest of the camp". |
10 |
| 15 | 355 |
"There is a new woman, a free woman in the camp," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 360 |
She led me through the camp, until we came to a small, low tent. |
10 |
| 15 | 385 |
"Too," said Ena, thrilled, "is it not audacious that my master, Rask of Treve, places his war camp, from which he may despoil the fields and caravans of Ar, within the realm of mighty Ar itself!" "Yes," I whispered. |
10 |
| 15 | 422 |
"Get to the shed!" I leaped up and, frightened, angry, fled through the camp to be locked in the shed. |
10 |
| 15 | 433 |
Other girls had prepared the repast, which, for the war camp, was sumptuous indeed, containing even oysters from the delta of the Vosk, a portion of the plunder of a tarn caravan of Ar, such delicacies having been intended for the very table of Marlenus, the Ubar of that great city itself. |
10 |
| 15 | 586 |
It was the first time I had seen her laugh in the camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 606 |
I was too clever for them! At last our buckets were all full, and we returned to the camp of Rask of Treve. |
10 |
| 15 | 610 |
She took us to that part of the camp near the horizontal pole, some nine feet high, resting across the two pairs of crossed poles, rather like a pole for hanging meat, or trophies, from. |
10 |
| 15 | 618 |
Some other men, and girls, from the camp, strolled over to the poles. |
10 |
| 15 | 817 |
I remembered that a slave girl, on my first day in the camp of Rask of Treve, had warned me, that if I lied or stole, I would be beaten and put in the slave box. |
10 |
| 15 | 883 |
* * * * I was regarded in the camp with contempt and amusement. |
10 |
| 15 | 890 |
One day became another in the secret war camp of Rask of Treve. |
10 |
| 15 | 892 |
Similarly, one day was much as another for Elinor Brinton, the female work slave in the camp of Rask of Treve. |
10 |
| 15 | 969 |
The contempt and amusement which greeted me in the camp made me form within myself a core of hardness. |
10 |
| 15 | 997 |
Laughing, bloody tarnsmen, with strings of pearls thrown about their necks, and cups and goblets tied at their saddles, and their saddle packs bulging with the weight of golden tarn disks, had brought their tarns down, wings beating, to receive the greetings of the camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 998 |
Merchants brought sides of bosk, and thighs of tarsk, and wines and fruits to camp, and cheeses and breads and nuts, and flowers and candies and silks and honeys. |
10 |
| 15 | 999 |
There was much bustle and laughter about the camp, much preparation and shouting. |
10 |
| 15 | 1152 |
"Serve, Slaves!" laughed Ute, clapping her hands, and the girls fled to the center of the camp, where I heard the shoutings of pleasure of men, welcoming them. |
10 |
| 15 | 1155 |
Angrily I, perfumed and rouged, belled and silked, turned and followed the other girls to the center of the camp, near the great tent of Rask of Treve, of scarlet canvas lined with scarlet silk, on its eight poles. |
10 |
| 15 | 1362 |
I was alone, defenseless in his war camp, his slave. |
10 |
| 16 | 5 |
I had seen this small hillock, with its ring, in my exploration of the camp. |
10 |
| 16 | 6 |
It was in an isolated portion of the camp. |
10 |
| 16 | 117 |
The lights of the camp were now, for the most part, extinguished. |
10 |
| 16 | 185 |
"I am leaving the camp tonight," said Verna. |
10 |
| 16 | 199 |
I knew, of course, that Talena was a slave in this camp, and had been slave to Rask of Treve. |
10 |
| 16 | 216 |
"Will you not stay in the camp," I asked, "as the comrade of Rask of Treve?" She looked at me, and smiled. |
10 |
| 16 | 249 |
The slave threw back her head and, I am sure, had she not been gagged, a cry of misery would have carried throughout the camp. |
10 |
| 16 | 356 |
"I have heard," he said, "that there is an insolent female slave in camp, a proud, unconquered girl". |
10 |
| 16 | 412 |
"Again conquer me!" * * * * There were the sounds of the early morning in the camp. |
10 |
| 16 | 424 |
We heard the sounds of the camp. |
10 |
| 17 | 33 |
After four Ahn, Raf and Pron, running lightly, carrying snare rope, left the camp. |
10 |
| 17 | 41 |
The next day they left the camp, taking their girls with them. |
10 |
| 17 | 165 |
And for such a slave, I am sure, there was no place in the war camp of Rask of Treve. |
10 |
| 17 | 167 |
For what place could there be for this other thing in the war camp of Rask of Treve? But mostly we sported and pleasured, hiding from ourselves this other thing, both of us perhaps not wishing to speak it. |
10 |
| 17 | 411 |
"I am letting it be known in the camp of Terence of Treve, a mercenary, that there is, in my house, a wench, whose name is Elinor". |
10 |
| 17 | 420 |
"It could easily be," said he called Bosk, "for it requires only that some rumor be spread, say, in Ar, or elsewhere, that you are in this city, a rumor which well might, by means of spies, soon find its way to the camp of Rask of Treve. |

He would also hold, of course, several female slaves, Sheera, Cara, Tina and Grenna, taken from my camp; Verna and her women, taken from the camp of Marlenus; and the girls of Marlenus, taken, too, from his camp. |
10 |
| 16 | 228 |
In my camp, there were several bottles of wine, which had been taken originally from Verna's camp by Marlenus, and then from his camp by the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura. |
10 |
| 6 | 231 |
We would now make camp, putting sharpened stakes about our camp, to protect us from animals, and the nocturnal attacks of panther girls. |
10 |
| 6 | 338 |
The riverside camp was not untypical of a semipermanent Gorean naval camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 80 |
The day of my departure from the camp, at dawn, later in that same day, four paga slaves, in yellow silks, brought up from Laura, chained in a longboat, would have arrived in my camp. |
10 |
| 13 | 153 |
The wall about the camp was thrown down, the camp destroyed". |
10 |
| 13 | 259 |
They had left eleven men behind at my camp, to pick up any of my men who, unknowingly, might return to the camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 131 |
The camp had not moved, but it was clear to me that the panther girls were now alarmed, and that their ventures from the camp were more conservative and timid. |
10 |
| 15 | 349 |
Among the baggage, too, I found items which had been brought from Verna's camp, which had been taken originally by Marlenus to his camp, and captured there by the men of Tyros and the band of Hura. |
10 |
| 1 | 122 |
I recalled her from the fields near the Swamp Forest south of Ar, in the caravan of Mintar, at the great camp of Pa-Kur's horde, as she had been upon Ar's lofty Cylinder of Justice, as she had been in lamp-lit Ko-ro-ba, when, with interlocking arms, we had drunk the wines of the Free Companionship. |
10 |
| 2 | 432 |
It was, of course, one thing to know this general manner of thing, and another to find Verna's band's camp, or their dancing circle. |
10 |
| 2 | 433 |
Each band of panther girls customarily has a semi-permanent camp, particularly in the winter, but, too, each band, customarily, has its dancing circle. |
10 |
| 2 | 439 |
"Verna's camp," I said to Sheera, matter-of-factly, "is not only north of Laura, but to its west". |
10 |
| 2 | 443 |
Verna's camp, then, lay to the north and east of Laura. |
10 |
| 2 | 585 |
"I would know," I said to them, "the whereabouts of the camp of an outlaw girl, and its dancing circle". |
10 |
| 2 | 590 |
"You know, or know well enough," I said, "the location, or approximate location, of her camp and dancing circle". |
10 |
| 2 | 619 |
"The camp of Verna," she said, "and her dancing circle, lies one hundred pasangs north of Lydius, and twenty pasangs inland from the shore of Thassa". |
10 |
| 2 | 632 |
"The camp of Verna," she said, "lies ten pasangs upriver from Lydius, and fifty pasangs north, inland from the Laurius". |
10 |
| 2 | 646 |
"I wish to learn," I said, "the location of the camp and dancing circle of the outlaw girl, Verna". |
10 |
| 2 | 734 |
"The camp, and dancing circle, of Verna," said the first girl, Tana, "lies north and east of Laura. |
10 |
| 2 | 747 |
Her camp, on the north bank of a tiny stream, well concealed, is two pasangs to the north". |
10 |
| 6 | 89 |
On the map, as nearly as we could, we traced, with various straight lines, what we would take to be the path to Verna's camp and dancing circle. |
10 |
| 6 | 92 |
"If the girls Tana and Ela knew so well the route to the camp and circle," said Rim, "others, too, must know it". |
10 |
| 6 | 111 |
"I do wish," I said, "to approach the camp from some direction other than the blazed trail. |
10 |
| 6 | 117 |
"We shall make a base camp, in accord with our putative interest in obtaining the skins of sleen," I said. |
10 |
| 6 | 118 |
"Then, selected men will enter the forest, but as though they did not know the location of Verna's camp and dancing circle. |
10 |
| 6 | 125 |
"Then the girl," said Rim, "will give them our message, that we would negotiate for female slaves they may have in their camp". |
10 |
| 6 | 255 |
I had seen, an Ahn earlier, before we had reached this camp site, a tawny movement in the brush, some fifty yards in front of us, and to our left. |
10 |
| 6 | 257 |
The men were cutting and sharpening stakes, and setting them in the ground, about our camp site. |
10 |
| 6 | 264 |
On the map, later, in the stern castle, we had traced out, with greater accuracy than had hitherto been possible, following the directions of Tana and Ela, what should be the location of Verna's camp and dancing circle. |
10 |
| 6 | 266 |
We would, of course, as before, if the need arose, not approach the camp by the familiar route. |
10 |
| 6 | 267 |
If it should prove necessary to storm the camp with slave nets, we would do so after a secret approach, striking decisively and fiercely from an unexpected direction. |
10 |
| 6 | 323 |
I went to inspect the work of the men, setting the sharpened stakes about the camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 326 |
It was there, on the north bank, that we made our camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 330 |
The Rhoda would be unable to follow us to our camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 332 |
I had also pointed guards about the camp, in case, as was unlikely, there should be an attempt to make an approach through the forests. |
10 |
| 6 | 334 |
Furthermore, the camp above Laura, on the north bank of the Laurius, provided us with privacy for our business. |
10 |
| 6 | 335 |
We might be simply, as far as those in Laura knew, attempting to achieve better prices on sleen fur by establishing this camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 343 |
Cooking, and most living, is done within the camp, within the wall and at the side of the Tesephone. |
10 |
| 6 | 351 |
The camp of Marlenus, the great Ubar of Ar, I had learned, was somewhere within the forest, north or northwest of Laura. |
10 |
| 6 | 352 |
It was quite possibly the same camp he had used several months ago, when, as recreation from the duties of the Ubar, he had gone hunting in the northern forests, a sporting trip in which he had captured a large number of animals, and, as well, Verna, a famed outlaw woman, and her entire band. |
10 |
| 6 | 372 |
She turned quickly, wrists braceleted, and slipped between two stakes, where Thurnock had not yet closed the defenses of the camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 423 |
The panther girl, her head high, strode into the camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 437 |
A panther girl holding each arm, she was thrust into the camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 507 |
"Do you know the location of his camp?" she asked. |
10 |
| 6 | 510 |
"I am interested in obtaining," I said, "a woman, who is rumored to be a prisoner in Verna's camp". |
10 |
| 6 | 516 |
"Is she in your camp?" "Perhaps," said Mira. |
10 |
| 6 | 527 |
"Is the girl in your camp?" I asked. |
10 |
| 6 | 551 |
"Were you at the camp?" I asked. |
10 |
| 6 | 582 |
We had returned to the camp by the river but within the Ahn. |
10 |
| 6 | 665 |
"Is it your intention to steal further in this camp?" I asked. |
10 |
| 6 | 669 |
You may steal in this camp where and when you wish, but within the Ahn you are to return what you have stolen". |
10 |
| 6 | 732 |
I thought Tina would prove popular in the camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 740 |
"First, I wish to arrange for the comforts of my men, those remaining at the camp". |
10 |
| 6 | 743 |
"We know the approximate location of Verna's camp and dancing circle. |
10 |
| 6 | 753 |
Arrange for four paga slaves, the most beautiful you can find in Laura, to be sent to our camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 760 |
"Thurnock," I said, "I need a man here, an officer I can trust, one to maintain the camp, one to command shrewdly in my absence". |
10 |
| 6 | 774 |
The interior of the camp was now well illuminated. |
10 |
| 6 | 904 |
I talked long with Thurnock, discussing the plans for the enterprise in the forest, and my wishes for appointments and regulations at the camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 910 |
The sound of the river was slow and sweet, moving between its banks, flowing downward to greet Thassa, the sea, more than two hundred pasangs from this small, silent camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 912 |
The shrill scream of a sleen, perhaps a pasang distant, carried to the camp. |
10 |
| 6 | 1137 |
"Command the camp today," I told him. |
10 |
| 7 | 19 |
Thurnock I left behind, at the camp, in command. |
10 |
| 7 | 22 |
We would not approach Verna's camp and dancing circle by means of the blazed trail. |
10 |
| 7 | 23 |
I did not know if Talena lay slave in Verna's camp or not. |
10 |
| 7 | 50 |
Rim had returned from Laura, the afternoon of the day preceding our departure from the camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 58 |
I had given Arn no definite answer on his request to purchase Tina, his object in coming to my camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 73 |
I hoped to be able to scout Verna's camp before nightfall, so that we might arrange our attack, with nets, for dawn. |
10 |
| 7 | 74 |
I thought of my men back at the camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 78 |
I wondered what the paga slaves now in the camp would think of such wild captives. |
10 |
| 7 | 105 |
Some of the panther girls themselves, when sold to new masters, might find themselves just such paga slaves, girls precisely such as they would have scorned upon first being brought captive to my camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 110 |
I hoped, by nightfall, to have scouted Verna's camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 139 |
If the attacker reached her camp, all hopes of a surprise attack would be lost. |
10 |
| 7 | 140 |
The girls, alerted, might abandon the camp and flee deeply into the forests, taking Talena with them. |
10 |
| 7 | 228 |
"Where is the camp and dancing circle of Verna, the panther girl?" I asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 263 |
It now seemed to me even more important to locate, as swiftly as possible, Verna's camp or its dancing circle. |
10 |
| 7 | 269 |
I wished to find Verna's camp, if possible, before nightfall. |
10 |
| 7 | 314 |
An Ahn before darkness I found the camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 318 |
A rough gate, fastened with vines, gave entrance to the camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 319 |
In the center of the camp there was a cooking hole, banked with a circle of flat stones. |
10 |
| 7 | 342 |
They did not realize their camp had been found. |
10 |
| 7 | 343 |
They did not know that soon, perhaps tomorrow, their camp would be stormed, and they would be captives, destined for the iron and the slave markets of the south. |
10 |
| 7 | 349 |
Hura's band would find only an empty camp, and perhaps some signs of struggle. |
10 |
| 7 | 358 |
I looked down into the camp, at the girls. |
10 |
| 7 | 366 |
Two more girls arrived at the camp, and untied the gate, entered, and then retied it. |
10 |
| 7 | 368 |
I looked again about the camp. |
10 |
| 7 | 402 |
We will then march on the camp of Verna". |
10 |
| 7 | 404 |
I lay down on the leaves, within the ring of sharpened saplings we had set about our small camp. |
10 |
| 8 | 1 |
We Wait in the Camp of Verna There is a Gorean saying that free women, raised gently in the high cylinders, in their robes of concealment, unarmed, untrained in weapons, may, by the slaver, be plucked like flowers. |
10 |
| 8 | 8 |
It was my original intention to bring with me merely five, but, when Arn and his men arrived at the camp, I permitted them to join us. |
10 |
| 8 | 24 |
A similar plan, but swifter, requires setting fire to the camp and its encircling wall. |
10 |
| 8 | 56 |
At our leisure, one by one, perhaps after having had breakfast in their camp, we could then remove them from the nets and chain them. |
10 |
| 8 | 57 |
We circled the terrain of the camp with great care. |
10 |
| 8 | 84 |
"The camp is empty," said another. |
10 |
| 8 | 97 |
Perhaps they, because of Hura or Marlenus, or for other reasons, had decided to abandon their camp? I looked about. |
10 |
| 8 | 132 |
"You wish to remain in the camp," I said, "concealed, and surprise them upon their return". |
10 |
| 8 | 136 |
We would await them, with nets, in their own camp. |
10 |
| 8 | 145 |
They would not expect to be ambushed in their own camp. |
10 |
| 8 | 149 |
"We shall wait in the camp," I said. |
10 |
| 8 | 175 |
"Panther girls," said one of Arn's men, "commonly return to their camp near dusk". |
10 |
| 9 | 60 |
"More than once," she said, "we have used our camp as a slave trap". |
10 |
| 9 | 81 |
It was Mira, who had spoken to me in my camp. |
10 |
| 9 | 150 |
I myself saw them break camp. |
10 |
| 9 | 155 |
"Speak," said Verna to Mira, "what else you saw, before their camp was broken, before their tarns took flight". |
10 |
| 9 | 236 |
"Why were you not in your camp at dawn?" I asked. |
10 |
| 9 | 254 |
But we knew that, sooner or later, you would find our camp, and you, and others doubtless with you, would attack". |
10 |
| 9 | 255 |
"I found your camp that night," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 260 |
"And so we arranged not to be within our camp at dawn, but to leave for you in our absence a gift of wine". |
10 |
| 10 | 73 |
"Then she betrayed to you the location of the camp and dancing circle?" "Yes," said Marlenus. |
10 |
| 10 | 74 |
"Are my men at the camp?" I asked. |
10 |
| 10 | 75 |
"We went first to the camp," said Marlenus. |
10 |
| 10 | 104 |
"Come with my men and me to our camp, north of Laura," he said. |
10 |
| 10 | 106 |
"It does not count, I trust," I asked, "being your camp, as part of the realm of Ar?" Marlenus laughed. |
10 |
| 10 | 165 |
"Yes," he said, "in my camp, I have a collar for you, my pretty". |
10 |
| 10 | 191 |
"In my camp," he said, "you will wear slave rouge". |
10 |
| 10 | 227 |
"We shall return to Verna's camp. |
10 |
| 10 | 229 |
In the morning we shall return to my camp, north of Laura". |
10 |
| 10 | 240 |
"At your camp," Marlenus informed Verna, "we will put them in proper chains". |
10 |
| 10 | 269 |
She turned about, in fury, her head in the air, and led us through the darkness toward her camp. |
10 |
| 11 | 1 |
Marlenus Holds a Flaminium In the camp of Marlenus, some pasangs north of Laura, I supped with the great Ubar. |
10 |
| 11 | 3 |
From where we sat, cross-legged, across from one another, before the low table, I could see the tent ropes stretched taut to stakes in the ground, the drainage ditch cut around the base of the tent, the wall of saplings, sharpened, which surrounded the camp. |
10 |
| 11 | 47 |
Marlenus had now been in his camp for five days, hunting. |
10 |
| 11 | 95 |
Dazed, shocked, she had been swiftly caught and returned to camp. |
10 |
| 11 | 98 |
Marlenus, and most of those about the camp, had not bothered to watch. |
10 |
| 11 | 112 |
In the camp of Marlenus she was only another girl. |
10 |
| 11 | 114 |
This time, he had put the iron to her, and her girls, the first night he had arrived in his camp north of Laura, as though they might have been the meanest of captures. |
10 |
| 11 | 115 |
She had been branded eleventh, casually and insolently, in her turn, for that had been her place in the slave coffle when the camp had been reached. |
10 |
| 11 | 120 |
The panther girls, in Marlenus' camp, though they were kept chained, were permitted to wear the skins of panthers. |
10 |
| 11 | 335 |
"And I expect that by now she has left the camp". |
10 |
| 11 | 341 |
"I have arranged for the girls of Hura, more than a hundred of them, to be in the forests about the camp. |
10 |
| 11 | 360 |
"One of my men, unknown to her, pretending to be a merchant, arrived in the camp. |
10 |
| 11 | 477 |
"Summon the camp," he said. |
10 |
| 11 | 481 |
Soon the camp had gathered around, huntsmen, tarnsmen, retainers, slaves. |
10 |
| 11 | 483 |
There was no one in the camp who was not present. |
10 |
| 11 | 626 |
They did not remain long in the vicinity of the camp of Marlenus, Ubar of Ar. |
10 |
| 11 | 885 |
I walked through the camp, until I came to the chain of Verna's girls, they in their skins, each chained by the left ankle, the long chain fastened between two stakes. |
10 |
| 11 | 887 |
Marlenus had told me that any of the women in the camp, save Verna, were free to me. |
10 |
| 11 | 954 |
"Yes, Master!" I glanced at her collar, glinting in the light of one of the camp torches, and took pity upon her. |

I later returned to my blankets, to get an Ahn's sleep, if I could, before the camp became too much astir. |

And I recalled her in the hold of the Tesephone, and later, in the camp, in my shelter beside the Tesephone, that hot night, and the sweet day that had followed. |

I Return to my Camp on the Banks of the Laurius My emotions were much mixed as I made my way through the tall forest toward the banks of the Laurius. |
10 |

I had left my men at the camp of Marlenus, Arn, his outlaws, and the five men from the Tesephone. |
10 |
| 12 | 5 |
I carried my weapons, even the great bow, recovered from Verna's camp, days before. |
10 |

And he had even extended to me and my men the courtesy of his camp, magnanimously. |
10 |

He hunted and amused himself while I and my men, his guests, partook of his hospitality at his camp, dining on his largesse. |
10 |
| 12 | 157 |
Rena, left behind in the camp of Marlenus, had reminded me of her. |
10 |
| 12 | 176 |
Perhaps I would give her to Arn, when he, with my other men, returned to the Tesephone the day after tomorrow, coming from the camp of Marlenus. |
10 |
| 12 | 179 |
I recalled that there should be, at my camp, four paga slaves. |
10 |
| 12 | 186 |
As I strode toward the camp, my hand held the great bow. |
10 |
| 12 | 204 |
I recalled, with savage understanding, with an understanding as sudden and terrible as that of a lightning flash over Torvaldsland, that this Hesius, this tavern keeper of Laura, had, free of charge, as a gesture of good will, included wine with the shipment of girls to my camp. |
10 |
| 12 | 207 |
I approached the camp of the Tesephone with great caution. |
10 |
| 12 | 208 |
One shadow among others, silent, from between branches, observed the camp. |
10 |
| 12 | 209 |
The wall which had been built about the camp had been broken and thrown down. |
10 |
| 13 | 4 |
* * * * Doubtless there would be some men of Tyros about, waiting for anyone who might return to the camp. |
10 |
| 13 | 8 |
* * * * In the late afternoon I saw them, eleven of them, coming toward the camp on the shore side, from downriver, as though from Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 11 |
I had approached the camp of the Tesephone with great caution. |
10 |
| 13 | 22 |
They had been instrumental in the surprise and taking of my camp. |
10 |
| 13 | 23 |
Doubtless they had been told to see that all males in the camp partook of the wine which had been sent upriver with them. |
10 |
| 13 | 29 |
I strode forth to the camp, and stood and faced them. |
10 |
| 13 | 91 |
They had been instrumental in the taking of my camp. |
10 |
| 13 | 96 |
"Speak to me," I said, "of what took place in this camp, and tell me what you know of the doings and intentions of the men of Tyros". |
10 |
| 13 | 137 |
We were to be rented to the camp of Bosk of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 13 | 139 |
The men of Tyros, when the wine had been drunk, were to storm the camp". |
10 |
| 13 | 145 |
"We served wine to all and, even, secretly, to the slave girls of the camp. |
10 |
| 13 | 147 |
The camp was ours". |
10 |
| 13 | 151 |
"The entire camp was taken," she said. |
10 |
| 13 | 239 |
The bulk of the attackers had proceeded through the forest, to surprise the camp of Marlenus. |
10 |
| 13 | 252 |
I stood on the beach, and looked at the ruins of my camp. |
10 |
| 13 | 258 |
I suspected that some one hundred and fifty, or more, men were now moving towards the camp of Marlenus. |
10 |
| 13 | 272 |
"You were party," I told them, "to a plot in which my camp fell and my men, and certain slaves, were taken. |
10 |
| 13 | 290 |
"When did the men of Tyros leave for the camp of Marlenus?" I asked. |
10 |
| 13 | 293 |
I could not then, in all probability, arrive at the camp of Marlenus in time to warn him. |
10 |
| 13 | 298 |
It puzzled me, somewhat, that the men of Tyros had dared to approach the camp, with only some one hundred and fifty men. |
10 |
| 13 | 329 |
"What occurs in the forest at the camp of Marlenus?" I asked. |
10 |
| 14 | 4 |
This afternoon I had come to the camp of Marlenus. |
10 |
| 14 | 19 |
Some birds flew over the ruins of the camp. |
10 |
| 14 | 29 |
By treachery within and force from without the camp would have been swept. |
10 |
| 14 | 36 |
The attack had apparently taken the camp by complete surprise, and had been devastating and successful. |
10 |
| 14 | 42 |
Rim, earlier, had returned to my camp. |
10 |
| 14 | 43 |
He had been captured there, when the camp had fallen, and, according to the report of one of the paga slaves, had been taken into the forest. |
10 |
| 14 | 47 |
I left the camp in the afternoon. |
10 |
| 14 | 87 |
I returned to the camp of Marlenus, and easily picked up the trail of the men of Tyros and the panther girls of Hura's band, and the trail, too, of the wretches, chained, they drove between them. |
10 |
| 14 | 92 |
It was also the night camp of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 146 |
I studied the men and women below in the camp. |
10 |
| 14 | 195 |
They had aided in the betrayal of my camp. |
10 |
| 14 | 198 |
Now they, who had served the men of Tyros, were bound as the helpless slaves of one of Port Kar, one to whom, in the betrayal of his camp, they had done great injury. |
10 |
| 14 | 250 |
Then he had invited us to his camp, and we had come, and dined upon his largesse! In the game he had devastatingly beaten me. |
10 |

In my camp I had read the body and the expressions of Ilene. |
10 |

"Take the slaves to our camp," I said to Ilene. |
10 |
| 15 | 99 |
If I could make it so that the panther girls feared to leave the camp, and, in the marches, would insist on remaining near the long slave chain, putatively protected by their numbers, the men of Tyros would be, for many practical purposes, deprived of the services of their otherwise dangerously effe... |
10 |

We had good fortune, for the camp had not moved. |
10 |
| 15 | 110 |
They were now in my camp, slaves. |
10 |
| 15 | 111 |
That night I hunted and felled a tabuk, which kill I brought back to my camp, that my prisoners and the paga slaves, now the keepers of my prisoners, might feed. |
10 |
| 15 | 182 |
"Keep order in the camp," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 184 |
"She is now first girl in the camp," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 194 |
I strode toward the perimeter of the camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 198 |
"Keep order in the camp," I told the red-haired girl. |
10 |
| 15 | 201 |
* * * * In their camp the men of Tyros doubtless felt secure. |
10 |
| 15 | 203 |
I might have entered the camp, but I did not choose to do so. |
10 |
| 15 | 206 |
I expected then that they would move their camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 207 |
They would then understand that the camp afforded them no protection. |
10 |
| 15 | 210 |
There were six panther girls guarding the camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 226 |
In my camp, bound in my coffle, they could contemplate it at their leisure. |
10 |
| 15 | 232 |
We then herded them to our camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 242 |
* * * * The next morning, early, the camp of the men of Tyros had been broken. |
10 |
| 15 | 245 |
I returned to my camp. |
10 |
| 15 | 247 |
The men of Tyros, in their flight, had abandoned much baggage, their own, and baggage taken from the camp of Marlenus. |
10 |
| 15 | 251 |
In my camp I had the dark-haired girl and the blond unbind the ankles of the panther girls. |
10 |
| 15 | 253 |
I would take my prisoners first to the site of the old camp, and then, by a parallel route, we would follow my enemies. |
10 |
| 15 | 261 |
I had seen, among the baggage abandoned at the old camp, a sack of slave hoods. |
10 |
| 15 | 264 |
Many slave hoods, and those at the site of the old camp were among these, combine the advantages of the blindfold and gag. |
10 |

We then marched them to the site of the old camp. |
10 |

At the site of the old camp I had the red-haired girl order the panther girls to their backs. |
