"Canka," said the young warrior, striking himself on the chest with his fist. |
10 |
| 19 | 333 |
Kaiila hemaca!" "'I am Canka, Fire-Steel,'" said Grunt. |
10 |
| 19 | 350 |
There were additional exchanges which took place between Canka and Cuwignaka, between Fire-Steel and Woman's Dress. |
10 |
| 19 | 351 |
"It is as I thought," said Canka to me, "it was you who freed this callow prisoner". |
10 |
| 19 | 357 |
"He would not carry arms," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 360 |
"We put him in the dress of a woman and called him Cuwignaka," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 362 |
"You shamed the Isbu," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 368 |
"The Kaiila have a quarrel with the Fleer, and you are Kaiila," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 370 |
"Your grandfather was killed by Fleer," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 372 |
"How is it that you have dared to return to the Barrens?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 377 |
"Why?" demanded Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 378 |
"Because I am Kaiila," said Cuwignaka, "no less than you!" "Do you think you are a man?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 380 |
"You do not wear the breechclout," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 382 |
"Because you are a woman," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 384 |
"If you return to camp," said Canka, "you will live as a woman. |
10 |
| 19 | 391 |
"I think that I will give you as a female slave to Akihoka," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 393 |
"That is the first duty of a woman," said Canka, "to obey men, and be pleasing to them". |
10 |
| 19 | 395 |
"You do not wear the breechclout," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 402 |
"That is not true!" said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 405 |
"The breechclout does not make manhood," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 409 |
"It is fortunate for you that you are not a warrior," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 413 |
Canka sat back on the kaiila. |
10 |
| 19 | 418 |
You have the respect of Canka". |
10 |
| 19 | 421 |
"Was it you," I asked the young warrior, "who staked him out?" "It was Kaiila," said Canka, carefully. |
10 |
| 19 | 423 |
"It was not Canka, then, and the All Comrades, who did it?" I said. |
10 |
| 19 | 425 |
"But it was Canka, and Hci, with the All Comrades and Sleen Soldiers, who first put me in the dress of a woman and later bound me in that dress and took me to the country of the Dust Legs, there selling me as a slave. |
10 |
| 19 | 427 |
"Canka," I said to Cuwignaka, in Gorean, "does not seem to be displeased that you have been freed". |
10 |
| 19 | 429 |
"You wear the dress of a woman," said Canka to Cuwignaka, suddenly, angrily. |
10 |
| 19 | 433 |
"You hold to a lance of the Kaiila," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 437 |
Canka did not respond to this. |
10 |
| 19 | 443 |
"Surrender the lance," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 446 |
"Surrender it," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 449 |
"I will not do that," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 454 |
"I am Blotanhunka," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 457 |
"What is owed here," said Canka, "it is not yours to pay". |
10 |
| 19 | 459 |
"It is not you who must pay," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 461 |
"I am a warrior," I said to Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 463 |
"I do not wish to kill you," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 465 |
It seemed to me that Canka had shown me unusual solicitude. |
10 |
| 19 | 479 |
"Someone must pay," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 481 |
"I cannot fight you, for a reason which you cannot understand," said Canka, "but these others, my friends, the All Comrades, do not have this reason". |
10 |
| 19 | 498 |
"You would fight, would you not?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 500 |
"Tatankasa," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 502 |
"It would make my heart heavy to have you killed," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 515 |
"I am ready," I said to Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 521 |
"Please, Tatankasa," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 528 |
One of the savages, he at the left of Canka, Akihoka, leaped to the ground. |
10 |
| 19 | 529 |
Canka threw him a collar. |
10 |
| 19 | 531 |
I regarded Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 535 |
"No," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 539 |
"No," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 541 |
Canka then turned his kaiila about. |
10 |
| 19 | 545 |
"Howo, Winyela," said Canka to Winyela. |
10 |
| 19 | 553 |
"Winyela," said Canka. |
10 |
| 19 | 555 |
"Winyela," said Canka, again. |
10 |
| 19 | 560 |
Canka, then, in good humor, set his heels to the flanks of his kaiila and, slowly, the beast walking, took his way from the place. |
10 |
| 19 | 570 |
Winyela was hurrying along at the left flank of Canka's kaiila, a girl's running place by the beast of her master. |
10 |
| 19 | 572 |
"In the collar of Canka the red-haired beauty will learn her slavery well". |
10 |
| 19 | 582 |
"Doubtless when Canka returns to the main camp he will surrender her to Mahpiyasapa," I said. |
10 |
| 19 | 653 |
Canka had permitted her to keep the garment, such as it was, to draw a distinction between her, who could speak Kaiila, and the others, who could not. |
10 |
| 19 | 670 |
"I think it is time to follow Canka," I said to Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 19 | 683 |
He took another two or three faltering steps, supporting himself with the lance, after Canka and the others, but then, again, fell heavily in the grass. |
10 |
| 19 | 712 |
Then, after a time, they were in the distance, following the trail of Canka and his party. |
10 |
| 19 | 715 |
Canka had not tethered Winyela. |
10 |
| 19 | 723 |
"If you are not going to flee," said Cuwignaka, "perhaps you should follow Canka, now". |
10 |
| 19 | 738 |
"Canka did not even tether Winyela," I said. |
10 |
| 19 | 750 |
"Canka," said Cuwignaka, "is my brother". |
10 |
| 19 | 808 |
I then, leading the kaiila, on which Cuwignaka rode, slumped forward, with the lance, set my feet in the tracks of those who had preceded me, Canka and his party, and Grunt and Pimples, toward the smoke of the evening fires, toward the camp of the Isbu Kaiila. |

She wears his collar! Now Canka has given her to another, for his sport, and she must please him! Oh! It has begun! I love Canka! I love my collar! The sensations! I am in the arms of the man to whom Canka has assigned me, and he is doing it to me! I want it done to me! I want it! I am a slave! I wa... |
10 |
| 1 | 378 |
In humiliating me, whom Canka treated with respect and honor, he was, in effect, demeaning Canka. |
10 |
| 1 | 392 |
I did not think, incidentally, that Hci's hostility toward Canka had anything to do with Canka's acquisition of, and ownership of, Winyela, the lovely, white, red-haired female slave, the former Miss Millicent Aubrey-Welles, of Pennsylvania, whom Grunt had brought into the Barrens for Mahpiyasapa, h... |

Both kaiila, one given to him by his brother, Canka, and the black kaiila, which had been mine, put at my disposal, with the permission of Canka, my master, by my friend, Grunt, the trader, were picketed but a few feet from the threshold of the lodge. |
10 |
| 4 | 344 |
"Canka," said Cuwignaka, as Canka stopped his kaiila near us. |
10 |
| 9 | 607 |
"Oh, little Winyela," she whispered, "what is going on with you? You are being put to use, are you not, little Winyela? Do you like it? What is he doing to you? You know these feelings, do you not? You like them, do you not? Is he concerned with you? Does it matter? Oh! Must you not resist him? But ... |
10 |
| 15 | 15 |
Technically, of course, Hci should not have offered gifts to Canka of a value which Canka could not repay. |
10 |
| 15 | 81 |
"Did you truly think, Hci," laughed Cuwignaka, "that my brother, Canka, who has served as a Blotanhunka, and who is of the All Comrades, not merely of the Sleen Soldiers, would not take your twenty kaiila for a mere slave?" "I will never surrender her," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 90 |
He placed his hands fraternally upon Canka's shoulders, an action which also, of course, had the consequence of assuring himself that Canka remained where he was. |
10 |
| 15 | 114 |
"Please, Master," wept Winyela, piteously throwing herself to her knees at the feet of Canka, "do not let me go! Do not give me to him! I love you! I love you!" "Silence, mere slave," said Canka, sternly. |
10 |
| 15 | 128 |
"Hci was fooled into thinking Canka would not trade, and then Canka outwitted him, making a trade much to his profit!" "If only I could do as well in the exchanging of gifts!" said another fellow. |
10 |
| 20 | 1 |
Kinyanpi "Behold," laughed Hci, sitting with cronies, cross-legged, outside the lodge of the Sleen Soldiers, "it is the pretty sister of Canka, and Canka's slave, Tatankasa". |
10 |
| 1 | 251 |
A lance, unbroken, had been placed by him, butt down, in the earth, in token of respect, at least, by Canka, Fire-Steel, his brother. |
10 |
| 1 | 252 |
Canka had also taken the dress which Hci had thrown contemptuously beside him, taken from the loot of one of the wagons, and wrapped it about the lance. |
10 |
| 1 | 253 |
In this fashion Canka had conspicuously marked the place, as though with a flag. |
10 |
| 1 | 254 |
It has been my considered judgment that Canka, in doing this, had hoped to draw attention to the location, that he hoped by this device to attract others to the spot, who might free the lad, or perhaps to mark it for himself, that he might later, accepting exile and outlawry at the hands of the Isbu... |
10 |
| 1 | 263 |
They were under the command of Canka, Cuwignaka's brother. |
10 |
| 1 | 266 |
Grunt's prize on the coffle, a beautiful red-haired girl, a former debutante from Pennsylvania, once Miss Millicent Aubrey-Welles, was selected out by Canka as a personal slave, one to run at the left flank of his own kaiila and wear her leather, beaded collar, placed on her by his command, for him ... |
10 |
| 1 | 268 |
This was probably because Canka truly bore us no ill will. |
10 |
| 1 | 276 |
This was something which Canka, as Blotanhunka, or war-party leader, of the All Comrades, had, of course, not been able to overlook. |
10 |
| 1 | 281 |
There were some seventeen of them, including Canka. |
10 |
| 1 | 285 |
"I am ready," I had said to Canka. |
10 |
| 1 | 291 |
"Please, Tatankasa," had said Canka. |
10 |
| 1 | 302 |
In moments Canka's beaded collar had been tied on my neck. |
10 |
| 1 | 308 |
"How is it that a slave," asked Hci of Cuwignaka, "wears moccasins and rides a kaiila?" "It is permitted by Canka," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 1 | 313 |
I dismounted and stripped, removing also the moccasins which Canka had given me. |
10 |
| 1 | 319 |
The colors and design of the beading marked it as Canka's. |
10 |
| 1 | 323 |
The knots on them had been retied personally by Canka after our arrival at his camp. |
10 |
| 1 | 332 |
In being Canka's slave I had a status and place in the Isbu camp which, in its way, sheltered me from the type of sportive attack to which a lone, free white man might be otherwise exposed. |
10 |
| 1 | 338 |
The collar of Canka which I wore, as I had come to realize in the past several days, was, all things considered, as he did not intend to enforce its significance upon me, a valuable accouterment. |
10 |
| 1 | 339 |
Canka was a respected and important young warrior; indeed, in the recent action to the west, he had even served as Blotanhunka of the All Comrades. |
10 |
| 1 | 340 |
This gave me, as his property, a certain prestige, particularly as Canka himself treated me with obvious respect. |
10 |
| 1 | 346 |
I stayed with Cuwignaka in a tattered lodge, donated by Akihoka, One-Who-Is-Skillful, a close friend of Canka. |
10 |
| 1 | 349 |
I knelt, naked, save for the collar of Canka, in the tall, dry grass. |
10 |
| 1 | 373 |
"Canka will hear of this," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 1 | 376 |
"And now, get away from here! Return to the camp!" Little love was lost, I gathered, between Hci and Canka. |
10 |
| 1 | 377 |
Hci doubtless held Canka responsible, in some fashion, for Cuwignaka's freedom, and his presence among the Isbu, a presence which many among the Isbu, including Hci, found infuriating and shameful. |
10 |
| 1 | 379 |
On Canka's part, similarly, there was little affection borne toward Hci, largely because of the latter's hostility towards his brother, Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 1 | 380 |
In Canka's view Hci's contempt for Cuwignaka was more unbending, more extreme and rigid, than was called for. |
10 |
| 1 | 384 |
Already Canka was a rising young warrior in the tribe. |
10 |
| 1 | 394 |
Mahpiyasapa, on the other hand, had been extremely displeased that Canka, despite being informed of the intended disposition of the white female, had asserted his war rights of slave capture, and, desiring her mightily, had taken her for himself. |
10 |
| 1 | 435 |
"He was attacking Canka". |
10 |
| 1 | 480 |
"Your brother, Canka, already has difficulties enough with Mahpiyasapa". |
10 |
| 1 | 482 |
I thought of the slender, lovely, red-haired Winyela, the former debutante from Pennsylvania, Canka's slave. |
10 |
| 2 | 8 |
Canka, too, had encouraged me, Grunt being willing, to please myself with her. |
10 |
| 2 | 294 |
I saw no woman with the Isanna, incidentally, who had a hair color remotely like that of the slender, lovely Winyela, Canka's slave. |
10 |
| 2 | 305 |
Canka, too, was there, and several of the All Comrades. |
10 |
| 2 | 352 |
He was the brother of Canka, of course, Fire-Steel. |
10 |
| 2 | 360 |
He was still furious with Canka, who had seen fit, in virtue of capture rights, muchly desiring her, to put his collar on the lovely Winyela. |
10 |
| 2 | 362 |
"Go away," said Canka to Cuwignaka, angrily. |
10 |
| 2 | 368 |
"Beware, Hci!" said Canka. |
10 |
| 2 | 370 |
"Do I not speak the truth?" Canka clenched his fists, in fury. |
10 |
| 2 | 374 |
"I was within my rights," said Canka. |
10 |
| 2 | 379 |
"I was within my rights," said Canka. |
10 |
| 2 | 381 |
"No," said Canka. |
10 |
| 2 | 385 |
"She is mine," said Canka. |
10 |
| 2 | 388 |
Canka, in fury, turned about and strode from the group. |
10 |
| 2 | 390 |
Hci looked after Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 20 |
It was Canka's. |
10 |
| 3 | 38 |
"Did Canka or Hci participate in this race?" I asked. |
10 |
| 3 | 107 |
I saw Canka ride up, on his kaiila. |
10 |
| 3 | 168 |
She now knelt absolutely naked, save for Canka's collar, among the men. |
10 |
| 3 | 176 |
The girl whimpered as the two rawhide tethers were now, again, tied on her throat, below Canka's collar. |
10 |
| 3 | 244 |
I looked to Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 320 |
She rose up and went to the side of Canka, astride his kaiila, her master. |
10 |
| 3 | 324 |
"You were very beautiful, Winyela," said Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 337 |
"In your dance," said Canka, "you were not ashamed". |
10 |
| 3 | 341 |
"Free?" asked Canka, smiling. |
10 |
| 3 | 343 |
Canka smiled. |
10 |
| 3 | 348 |
"I know," said Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 350 |
"Good," said Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 353 |
"That is true," said Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 355 |
"Yes," said Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 357 |
"Yes," said Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 359 |
"Do you care for me, perhaps, just a little?" "Perhaps," said Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 362 |
"I am going to take you to my lodge," said Canka. |
10 |
| 3 | 366 |
Canka then moved his heels back into the flanks of the kaiila and, guiding it with his knees, turned it back towards the village. |
10 |
| 4 | 14 |
I, too, was naked, save that I wore Canka's collar. |
10 |
| 4 | 66 |
I sat on the robes, in the half darkness, eating of the pemmican, in Canka's collar. |
10 |
| 4 | 132 |
Several other things had been given to Cuwignaka by Canka, or other members of the Isbu, usually of the All Comrades. |
10 |
| 4 | 133 |
The lodge itself had been given to him by Akihoka, One-Who-Is-Skillful, an All Comrade, one of Canka's close friends. |
10 |
| 4 | 345 |
"Greetings, my brother," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 347 |
"What are you going to do this morning?" "I think I will go out to look at the Pte," said Canka, smiling. |
10 |
| 4 | 350 |
"She is going out," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 358 |
"If she wastes meat, I will beat her," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 360 |
"If she wastes meat, I will beat her," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 362 |
"I see, little brother," said Canka, "that you, too, are going out". |
10 |
| 4 | 364 |
"Do not get too close to the herd," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 366 |
This warning on the part of Canka made me somewhat uneasy. |
10 |
| 4 | 371 |
"You and Tatankasa will be out there alone," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 374 |
"Beware of Hci," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 377 |
"Have you seen an arrow of mine?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 380 |
"I must have misplaced it," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 382 |
"I must take my place," said Canka. |
10 |
| 4 | 385 |
"Oglu waste!" "Oglu waste," said Canka, and then turned his kaiila away, to take his place. |
10 |
| 5 | 19 |
"There is a cow over there," said Wasnapohdi, kneeling on the back of the animal, pointing with the bloody knife, "felled by one of Canka's arrows. |
10 |
| 5 | 27 |
"No matter what I do, I know that Canka will never punish me". |
10 |
| 5 | 36 |
"Canka would never do that to me," she said. |
10 |
| 5 | 45 |
"Canka," she said, "will never punish me". |
10 |
| 5 | 54 |
"At any rate," said Winyela, "Canka, I think, likes me. |
10 |
| 5 | 62 |
"Maybe Canka will not beat you," said Wasnapohdi, "but I assure you that I would have no compunction in doing so. |
10 |
| 5 | 86 |
"Canka would never strike me," she said. |
10 |
| 5 | 89 |
"In the lodge of Canka," she said, "I can do whatever I please". |
10 |
| 5 | 103 |
"Canka will never beat me," she said. |
10 |
| 5 | 112 |
"Canka will never beat me," she called after me. |
10 |
| 7 | 13 |
She was naked, except for Canka's collar. |
10 |
| 7 | 111 |
One might have hoped that, at this time, rather, in the bright afternoon, she would have been adorned and marched, clothed or unclothed, a rope on her neck, beside Canka's kaiila, he in his finery, that he might display her to the Isbu, and the other bands. |
10 |
| 7 | 121 |
"Canka struck me," she said. |
10 |
| 7 | 145 |
"But you belong to Canka". |
10 |
| 7 | 147 |
"I belong to Canka". |
10 |
| 7 | 201 |
"You were not sure that you were really Canka's slave," I said. |
10 |
| 7 | 207 |
I looked at her small feet, at those trim ankles, at the sweet calves of her, her thighs, her belly, her breasts, the neck and shoulders, her throat, in Canka's collar, her profile, the lovely red hair, behind her on the robes. |
10 |
| 7 | 223 |
Suppose Canka had given you to boys, as a target for their arrows, or had rubbed you with blood, your own, and had set sleen on you". |
10 |
| 7 | 254 |
"I did not think that Canka would beat me," she said. |
10 |
| 7 | 275 |
"How do you feel about Canka?" I asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 303 |
"That you are truly Canka's slave?" "Yes," she said. |
10 |
| 7 | 321 |
"Does Canka know that you are here?" I asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 388 |
"Canka well knows how to reduce me," she said. |
10 |
| 7 | 394 |
"I am Winyela," she said, "the slave of Canka, of the Isbu Kaiila. |
10 |
| 7 | 401 |
"I doubt that Canka truly wants me to have you," I said. |
10 |
| 7 | 408 |
After a time, I will take you back to the lodge of Canka". |
10 |
| 7 | 412 |
"You love Canka," I said, "and you are his". |
10 |
| 7 | 437 |
"Why do you think Canka sent her to you?" he asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 446 |
"In this you have doubtless not fulfilled the will of Canka," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 7 | 458 |
"Besides," said Cuwignaka, "Canka likes you". |

| 7 | 468 |
"So why should you object," asked Cuwignaka, "if Canka, in his friendship for you, in a suitable context, for an afternoon, makes you a present of Winyela?" "I do not object," I laughed. |
10 |
| 7 | 470 |
"That seems to be Canka's decision, not yours," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 7 | 1003 |
"It is Canka's will that you use her, and well," he said. |
10 |
| 8 | 65 |
"It is time for me to awaken Winyela and return her to the lodge of Canka". |
10 |
| 9 | 41 |
"In a while it will be time to return you to the lodge of Canka". |
10 |
| 9 | 54 |
Indeed, for the afternoon, or, I supposed, until, within reason, I chose to return her to the lodge of Canka, she was, for all practical purposes, my own slave. |
10 |
| 9 | 109 |
"I think it is time we went to the lodge of Canka," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 114 |
"I love Canka," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 122 |
"Canka wanted me punished," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 131 |
"Let us hurry to the lodge of Canka," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 269 |
"Let us go now to the lodge of Canka". |
10 |
| 9 | 350 |
"We must go to the lodge of Canka," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 353 |
"Canka wanted me punished, you know," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 373 |
"Canka wanted you to have me," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 457 |
"Following the instructions of my master, Canka," she said, "I am to yield to you, fully, irreservedly, as a slave girl to her master". |
10 |
| 9 | 565 |
"I love Canka so much, and yet I know that if I do not please him I will be whipped like an animal". |
10 |
| 9 | 613 |
But Canka owns you! You are his. |
10 |
| 9 | 614 |
Do not forget it! Oh, Oh! Your little slave body is in the hands of a master, is it not? Canka, her master, has well conquered and subdued little Winyela! He is little Winyela's master. |
10 |
| 9 | 622 |
"I am Canka's slave," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 625 |
She had earlier confided to me that the first time she had seen Canka she had wanted to be his slave. |
10 |
| 9 | 661 |
"I love Canka," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 668 |
I then explained to her what she might do upon her return to the lodge of Canka. |
10 |
| 10 | 1 |
An Improved Slave is Returned to Her Master We stood before the lodge of Canka. |
10 |
| 10 | 6 |
"I was displeased with her," said Canka to me. |
10 |
| 10 | 8 |
Canka reached down and pulled her up to her knees and then, by the hair, he bent her back, and then twisted her about. |
10 |
| 10 | 12 |
"That is true," said Canka. |
10 |
| 10 | 15 |
"Do you think she is improved?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 10 | 23 |
"It is my hope," said Canka, "that she will not repeat her earlier mistakes". |
10 |
| 10 | 25 |
"She is responsive to the quirt?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 10 | 33 |
"With your permission," I said to Canka. |
10 |
| 10 | 37 |
She then rose to her hands and knees and head down, crawling, entered Canka's lodge. |
10 |
| 10 | 41 |
Canka watched, as she, unbidden, brought him the quirt. |
10 |
| 10 | 48 |
I saw that Canka approved of what he saw, and well. |
10 |
| 10 | 51 |
She is the property of the warrior, Canka, of the Isbu Kaiila". |
10 |
| 10 | 52 |
"Look up," said Canka to the girl. |
10 |
| 10 | 55 |
"You may speak," said Canka. |
10 |
| 10 | 58 |
Canka reached down and picked up the kaiila quirt. |
10 |
| 10 | 61 |
"I see," said Canka, "that you have returned me a better slave than the one I sent you". |
10 |
| 10 | 68 |
Canka grinned. |
10 |
| 10 | 71 |
"Thank you," said Canka, "—my friend". |
10 |
| 10 | 73 |
Canka then entered his lodge. |
10 |
| 10 | 76 |
I had thought it might please Canka, and give Winyela a way to demonstrate, graphically and meaningfully, unmistakably, that she was now, knew herself to be, and desired not to be other than, the total slave of her master. |
10 |
| 11 | 1 |
It is in the Time of Festivals "Canka is extremely pleased," said Cuwignaka, coming up to me. |
10 |
| 11 | 2 |
It was the day following Winyela's disciplining and my delivery of her, suitably informed and improved, to the lodge of Canka. |
10 |
| 11 | 4 |
I was fond of Canka and, too, I supposed, I should be pleased, as I was, in strict fact, his slave, and had had what amounted, as I now understood clearly, to what was a charge, or at least an invitation in the matter. |
10 |
| 11 | 15 |
"I have never seen Canka so happy," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 11 | 64 |
"I bring it from the lodge of Canka". |
10 |
| 11 | 70 |
"Canka was very pleased with your work with Winyela," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 11 | 78 |
"This is very generous on the part of Canka," I said. |
10 |
| 11 | 94 |
"Too," said Cuwignaka, "I think Canka may buy a woman for you, as a gift, after the festivals, one to do your unpleasant work and warm you, helplessly, in the furs". |
10 |
| 11 | 103 |
"Should Canka get me a woman," I said, "I will put her, too, of course, completely at your disposal. |
10 |
| 11 | 108 |
Canka is happy. |
10 |
| 12 | 8 |
"I am Tatankasa, a slave of Canka, of the Isbu," I said. |
10 |
| 12 | 14 |
"He is the slave of Canka," said another. |
10 |
| 12 | 136 |
"He is the slave of Canka," said another lad. |
10 |
| 13 | 1 |
I Learn of the Presence of Waniyanpi "Bring her forth, the red-haired slave," said Mahpiyasapa, chieftain of the Isbu Kaiila, standing before the lodge of Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 2 |
Canka stood, unafraid, his arms folded. |
10 |
| 13 | 8 |
"I want the woman," said Mahpiyasapa to Canka, indicating Winyela. |
10 |
| 13 | 9 |
"You may not have her," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 11 |
"My friend, Canka," said Grunt, "the woman was brought into the Barrens for Mahpiyasapa. |
10 |
| 13 | 17 |
"No," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 25 |
"He may not have the woman," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 33 |
"What is this to me?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 39 |
"Let me buy you two women, and give them to you for her," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 41 |
"That one," said Canka, "is mine". |
10 |
| 13 | 43 |
"She is mine, by capture right," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 46 |
"I am sorry, my chief," said Canka, "if I do not behave well. |
10 |
| 13 | 54 |
"I will give you a kaiila," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 57 |
"Neither you nor the Yellow Knives may have her," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 59 |
"I am keeping her," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 71 |
"Yes," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 73 |
Canka turned, then, and looked down at Winyela, who was kneeling by the entrance to his lodge. |
10 |
| 13 | 82 |
Winyela lifted her head to Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 86 |
"Do not be stupid," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 90 |
"Do you not fear," I asked, "that there will be trouble over this?" Cuwignaka and I had been standing nearby, listening to Canka and Mahpiyasapa. |
10 |
| 13 | 91 |
We had been invited to the lodge of Canka this night for boiled meat, a way of preparing meat of which the red savages are fond. |
10 |
| 13 | 92 |
"I do not think so," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 102 |
"Did you enjoy the use of the beaded quirt?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 106 |
"You may retain it until after the holidays, after the dancings and feasts," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 108 |
"It is nothing," grinned Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 139 |
I was to meet Cuwignaka at the lodge of Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 143 |
"Do not spoil the slave," warned Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 150 |
"Do you not think so?" asked Cuwignaka of Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 151 |
"Maybe," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 153 |
"Maybe," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 155 |
"It was not bad, maybe," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 158 |
"Even if you did not like serving me," said Canka, "you would do it, and perfectly". |
10 |
| 13 | 165 |
"Have no fear," said Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 169 |
"Master," whispered Winyela to Canka. |
10 |
| 13 | 172 |
"There were many vegetables in the stew," I said to Cuwignaka, pretending not to notice the intensity between Canka and Winyela. |
10 |
| 13 | 175 |
Canka, perhaps because company was present, or because he wished to further impress her slavery upon her, had fed Winyela. |
10 |
| 13 | 180 |
Too, I had thought that Canka had given her smaller bits and pieces, and had held on to them more tightly, than was necessary to merely feed her. |
10 |
| 13 | 221 |
He then gestured to Canka and Winyela. |
10 |
| 13 | 233 |
"We shall come back later," said Cuwignaka to Canka, getting up. |
10 |
| 13 | 234 |
But, Canka, too, I fear, lost in the sweetnesses and beauties, in the love and pleasure, of his woman, did not hear us. |
10 |
| 13 | 246 |
"Meet me back at the lodge of Canka, later," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 13 | 248 |
I thought perhaps Canka and Winyela might prefer to be left alone. |
10 |
| 14 | 24 |
"I am Tatankasa, Red Bull," I said, "the slave of Canka, Fire-Steel, of the Isbu Kaiila, of the Little-Stones band of the Kaiila," in a mixture of both Kaiila and Gorean. |
10 |
| 14 | 323 |
"I am the slave of Canka, Fire-Steel, of the Isbu Kaiila". |
10 |
| 15 | 3 |
"Greetings," said Canka, standing before his lodge. |
10 |
| 15 | 7 |
"Do not!" said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 9 |
"I do not have twenty kaiila," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 13 |
"But what might I have of comparable value?" protested Canka, angrily. |
10 |
| 15 | 19 |
"No!" cried Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 21 |
"You will give me nothing in return?" "You may not have her!" said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 30 |
More red savages, as if from nowhere, the word of Hci's visit to the lodge of Canka apparently having rapidly spread, appeared. |
10 |
| 15 | 32 |
"I have given Canka twenty kaiila," said Hci to the crowd. |
10 |
| 15 | 36 |
"Take back your kaiila!" said Canka, angrily. |
10 |
| 15 | 39 |
"I give them back to you!" said Canka, in fury. |
10 |
| 15 | 43 |
"He knows Canka does not wish to surrender Winyela. |
10 |
| 15 | 45 |
Even so, he did not put his plan into effect until after Canka had refused to give her to his father, Mahpiyasapa, for the Yellow Knives. |
10 |
| 15 | 46 |
If Canka would not surrender her to Mahpiyasapa he would not, of course, surrender her to Hci in an exchange of gifts". |
10 |
| 15 | 61 |
"And, in shaming Canka, gaining a great deal," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 15 | 64 |
"I am sorry, my friend, Canka," said Hci, grinning, "that you have lost honor in this matter. |
10 |
| 15 | 71 |
I tensed, for I feared that Canka would draw his knife and rush upon Hci. |
10 |
| 15 | 75 |
Only too ready, I suspected, was Hci to submit the differences between himself and Canka to the arbitration of steel. |
10 |
| 15 | 78 |
"It is a good joke, Canka," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 15 | 80 |
For a moment even I was fooled!" "What are you talking about?" said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 85 |
"It is lovely Siptopto, Canka's sister. |
10 |
| 15 | 88 |
"Do not stand between us," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 89 |
Cuwignaka placed himself directly between the two young savages, facing Canka, his back to Hci. |
10 |
| 15 | 91 |
He spoke softly to Canka for a moment, and then stepped back. |
10 |
| 15 | 93 |
"You are right, Cuwignaka," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 97 |
"She is yours," said Canka, indicating Winyela. |
10 |
| 15 | 101 |
"Of course," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 106 |
"Yes," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 110 |
"The terms of the exchange were yours," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 120 |
"What are you going to do with her?" asked Canka, pleasantly. |
10 |
| 15 | 125 |
"That is a good idea," said Canka, warmly. |
10 |
| 15 | 133 |
"Go with him," said Canka to Winyela. |
10 |
| 15 | 136 |
But he had not taken more than a stride or two before Canka called after him, "Hold, Hci, my friend!" Hci, angrily, his hand at his knife hilt, turned. |
10 |
| 15 | 137 |
"This is the time of making peace," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 141 |
"I give you twenty kaiila!" said Canka, lifting the lead rope of the kaiila. |
10 |
| 15 | 143 |
"I will take her," said Canka, pointing to Winyela. |
10 |
| 15 | 146 |
I will keep her!" "Do so," laughed Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 148 |
"I am not small and petty! Hci is generous! Hci is noble! Hci is a generous and noble warrior! Hci is a warrior of the Kaiila! Hci does not lose his honor!" "Oh?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 150 |
"And the kaiila are yours," smiled Canka, handing the lead rope of the kaiila string to one of the Sleen Soldiers with Hci. |
10 |
| 15 | 151 |
Winyela fell at the feet of Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 153 |
Hci regarded Canka with fury. |
10 |
| 15 | 155 |
"I think Canka wants the woman," said a man. |
10 |
| 15 | 159 |
"Canka pretended not to want to trade, and then he traded, outwitting Hci, and then, wanting the woman, he again outwitted Hci, forcing him, against his honor, to trade her back". |
10 |
| 15 | 161 |
I myself thought the honors in this lively exchange would be more fittingly accorded to Cuwignaka than to Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 163 |
Canka, I was sure, was under no delusion on this score. |
10 |
| 15 | 180 |
"Tomorrow," cried Hci, angrily, pointing his finger at Canka, "my father will take the woman! Tomorrow, by noon, he will take her from you, for the Yellow Knives!" He then, in fury, turned about and strode between the lodges. |
10 |
| 15 | 182 |
"Do you think he will do that?" I asked Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 183 |
"No," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 187 |
Canka then crouched down, next to Winyela. |
10 |
| 15 | 189 |
"Do not be afraid," said Canka, soothingly. |
10 |
| 15 | 194 |
"It is over now," said Canka. |
10 |
| 15 | 197 |
"Yes," said Canka, "I like you". |
10 |
| 15 | 203 |
Canka let her cry for a time, holding her in his arms. |
10 |
| 15 | 205 |
"Canka handled Hci quite well, I think," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 15 | 207 |
"Certainly Canka knows that and, I suspect, unfortunately, Hci knows it as well". |
10 |
| 15 | 220 |
"He threatened Canka that Mahpiyasapa would take Winyela tomorrow," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 269 |
"What of warriors, like Canka and Hci," I said, "would they believe such things?" "Of course," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 16 | 257 |
My Master, and friend, Canka, of the Isbu, has retained his own slave and love, a girl named Winyela, also a luscious white slave, and my friend, Cuwignaka, after years of waiting is, at last, going to enter the lodge of the great dance". |
10 |
| 17 | 1 |
An Assessment of the Information of Oiputake "Canka!" I cried. |
10 |
| 17 | 2 |
"Where is Canka!" The young warrior was not in his lodge. |
10 |
| 17 | 4 |
"Akihoka," I cried, "where is Canka". |
10 |
| 17 | 20 |
"Why should Sleen Soldiers come for Canka?" I asked, alarmed. |
10 |
| 17 | 24 |
"It is the arrow of Canka. |
10 |
| 17 | 25 |
Too, Hci saw Canka fleeing from the place". |
10 |
| 17 | 26 |
"Canka would not shoot at Mahpiyasapa," I said. |
10 |
| 17 | 29 |
"Mahpiyasapa would not do that against his will," I said, "and Canka knows that". |
10 |
| 17 | 33 |
"I thought you said Canka had gone hunting," I said. |
10 |
| 17 | 37 |
"The arrow is the arrow of Canka," said Akihoka, almost chanting in grief. |
10 |
| 17 | 41 |
"Does this seem likely to you," I asked, angrily, "in a crowded camp?" "It was the arrow of Canka," said Akihoka. |
10 |
| 17 | 43 |
It is the arrow of Canka. |
10 |
| 17 | 58 |
"It is shame for Canka. |
10 |
| 17 | 60 |
I have sorrow for Canka. |
10 |
| 17 | 63 |
"Hci," I said, firmly, "did not see Canka running from the place". |
10 |
| 17 | 64 |
I recalled that Canka had, on the first morning of the great hunt, inquired of Cuwignaka the location of one of his arrows. |
10 |
| 17 | 76 |
"In your heart you know as well as I," I said, "that Canka would not try to kill Mahpiyasapa. |
10 |
| 17 | 81 |
"It has to do, doubtless, with the vanity of Hci, and his hatred for Canka," I said. |
10 |
| 17 | 85 |
"By the love you bear Canka," I said, "ride after him. |
10 |
| 17 | 108 |
Even under these conditions he still regards her as Canka's woman. |
10 |
| 17 | 120 |
I had hoped, of course, to convey this information to Canka. |
10 |
| 18 | 8 |
"Have you heard about Canka?" she said. |
10 |
| 18 | 16 |
"The business with Canka has nothing to do with you". |
10 |
| 18 | 20 |
"He left after he found out about Canka". |
10 |
| 18 | 25 |
"Canka?" I asked, startled. |
10 |
| 18 | 196 |
In my intense awareness of this being the day of the great dance, probably a function of Cuwignaka's almost overwhelming concern about it, and in my concern over the fate of Canka, and my concern with the information obtained from Oiputake, I had forgotten that this day, too, was the day of a peace ... |
10 |
| 18 | 236 |
"I think it is because Canka tried to kill him," said the man, watching the movement of the string. |
10 |
| 18 | 239 |
"You are Canka's slave, are you not?" asked the man. |
10 |
| 18 | 244 |
Mahpiyasapa's sorrow, I had little doubt, was occasioned by the perjury of Hci, and not by some putative treachery on the part of Canka. |
10 |
| 18 | 325 |
"It was your master, Canka," she said, angrily, "who tried to kill Mahpiyasapa this morning". |
10 |
| 18 | 380 |
Suddenly I felt anger, irrationally, towards Mahpiyasapa and Grunt, and toward Canka, and even towards my friend, Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 19 | 8 |
"You must have heard," I asked, "of the alleged attack by Canka on Mahpiyasapa?" "Yes," he said, bitterly. |
10 |
| 22 | 37 |
I had not worn it since I had accepted the collar of Canka. |
10 |
| 29 | 100 |
One such had been the former Miss Millicent Aubrey-Welles, the debutante from Pennsylvania, who was now Winyela, the slave of Canka, of the Isbu Kaiila. |
10 |
| 31 | 6 |
"It was I who took the arrow of Canka," he said. |
10 |
| 31 | 8 |
It was I who accused Canka of attempting to kill him". |
10 |
| 34 | 408 |
"Someone is coming!" "Tatankasa!" cried Canka, rushing towards us from the camp. |
10 |
| 34 | 435 |
I saw Canka and Cuwignaka embracing. |
10 |
| 34 | 442 |
Never before had I seen the shield of Kahintokapa outside of its shield cover, even when I had first seen him, long ago, with Canka and the members of the All Comrades, near the site of the battle of the wagon train, near, too, where the mercenaries had fought, and Alfred had escaped with a continge... |
10 |
| 34 | 449 |
I heard Cuwignaka and Canka coming up behind me. |
10 |
| 34 | 456 |
"Of what is he speaking?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 34 | 469 |
"That is the medicine helper of Kahintokapa," said Canka. |
10 |
| 34 | 471 |
"These things are personal," said Canka. |
10 |
| 34 | 475 |
"Kahintokapa is grievously wounded," said Canka. |
10 |
| 34 | 489 |
Then I turned again to Cuwignaka and Canka. |
10 |
| 34 | 491 |
"You would seek this medicine helper?" asked Canka. |
10 |
| 34 | 493 |
"If you do," said Canka, "you must do so in accordance with our ways". |
10 |
| 34 | 495 |
"Cuwignaka and I will speak to Kahintokapa," said Canka. |
10 |
| 35 | 77 |
"One must seek medicine helpers in certain ways," said Canka. |
10 |
| 35 | 126 |
My helpers, tending the fire and aiding with the stones, were Canka and Cuwignaka. |
