"Hold! You cannot be serious! Such an act would desecrate the theater! That is the finest Chino on all Gor!" "I do not like the idea either," said Chino, "on independent grounds". |
10 |
| 16 | 377 |
"Strip," commanded Chino, "now, totally!" "No!" cried the girls, but, at a menacing gesture from Chino, the meaningful lifting of his open right hand, suggesting that the least dilatoriness might be rewarded with cuffings, or worse, as though they might be mere slaves, they hastened to comply. |
10 |
| 16 | 540 |
"But," said he to Chino, "what of returning them to their masters for rewards?" "But what if there are no rewards?" said Chino. |
10 |
| 2 | 324 |
Two servants, Lecchio and Chino, are also in attendance. |
10 |
| 2 | 325 |
Chino, usually the servant of the Comic Father or the Merchant, is willowy and mischievous, with a black half-mask, with slanted eye holes, with red-and-yellow diamond-figured tights and pullover. |
10 |
| 2 | 326 |
Lecchio, usually the servant of the Pedant, is short and fat, a willing dupe of Chino and a sharer in his fun. |
10 |
| 2 | 329 |
Chino and Lecchio conspire. |
10 |
| 2 | 330 |
Chino kicks the Comic Father and then looks away, studying clouds. |
10 |
| 2 | 335 |
Chino, followed by Lecchio, points out that their rich garments might be soiled, that their wallets might even be lost in such a scuffle. |
10 |
| 2 | 347 |
In this one the principal characters were the Golden Courtesan, Chino, the Merchant and the Pedant. |
10 |
| 2 | 350 |
In brief, the Merchant, intending to visit the Golden Courtesan, sends Chino for a love potion. |
10 |
| 2 | 351 |
Chino, of course, obtains not a love potion but, by deft substitution, a powerful laxative from the Physician. |
10 |
| 2 | 352 |
The Merchant takes the potion and visits the Golden Courtesan, with Chino in attendance. |
10 |
| 2 | 354 |
Chino, meanwhile, exaggeratedly, in these interstices, is assuring the courtesan of the merchant's prowess as a lover. |
10 |
| 2 | 356 |
Chino then again begins to reassure the confused, uncertain courtesan. |
10 |
| 2 | 363 |
Chino grins and shrugs. |
10 |
| 2 | 369 |
These were gathered in by the Chino and Lecchio. |
10 |
| 6 | 156 |
It would be like trying to get along without a comic merchant, a Brigella, a Bina, a Lecchio or a Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 546 |
There was now great laughter for, strolling across the stage, swinging censers, mumbling in what was doubtless supposed to resemble archaic Gorean, in the guise of Initiates, came Tarsk-Bit's Lecchio and Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 821 |
These two fellows, of course, were Boots's Chino and Lecchio, now largely garbed in tatters of yellow and white, the colors of the merchants. |
10 |
| 6 | 823 |
"Hah!" snarled the Chino to his fellow, Lecchio. |
10 |
| 6 | 826 |
"It is warm today," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 830 |
"That is what they all say," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 836 |
"Doubtless they were torn from your body in a recent hurricane," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 838 |
"Removed from your body by an ardent suitor, then, who neglected to replace them?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 843 |
They just blew away!" "Do not lie to us, Girl," said Chino, sternly. |
10 |
| 6 | 845 |
"This morning," said Chino, "you were simply sent forth stripped". |
10 |
| 6 | 847 |
"Yes," said Chino, folding his arms. |
10 |
| 6 | 850 |
"Do I understand you correctly?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 853 |
"Excellent!" said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 855 |
"Sirs," she asked, "why is it that you are drawing forth coils of stout ropes from beneath your robes?" "Why to bind your pretty arms to your sides, and to put a good rope on your neck, my dear," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 857 |
"She will make a juicy morsel for our sleen, will she not, Lecchio, my friend?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 860 |
"What is a feed hunter?" asked Lecchio of Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 861 |
"That is exactly right, my dear," Chino confirmed her darkest suspicions. |
10 |
| 6 | 863 |
"You are free to be taken," Chino informed her. |
10 |
| 6 | 867 |
"That is not good enough," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 872 |
"You do not have a legal master," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 878 |
As she again retraced the circle on the stage, this time hastily, suggesting her journey, Chino and Lecchio watched her depart. |
10 |
| 6 | 879 |
"We must soon begin our fierce pursuit," Chino informed the audience. |
10 |
| 6 | 935 |
As yet, supposedly, Chino and Lecchio were not in sight. |
10 |
| 6 | 948 |
"I think," said Chino to Lecchio, at the other side of the stage, "that it is nearly time for us to begin our fierce pursuit". |
10 |
| 6 | 956 |
"Our fierce pursuit begins," announced Chino to the audience, and he and Lecchio began to describe a circle about the stage, carefully, bending over, hesitating now and then, apparently tracking the lovely fugitive. |
10 |
| 6 | 968 |
Have you had any experience?" "That is her, up there, ahead, I think," called out Chino to Lecchio. |
10 |
| 6 | 972 |
"We must all start somewhere! I will be zealous and obedient!" "I think you are right," said Lecchio to Chino, looking in the direction of Boots and the Brigella. |
10 |
| 6 | 978 |
"Yes," said the Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 992 |
"Yes! There she is!" cried Chino to Lecchio. |
10 |
| 6 | 1003 |
"We have you now!" cried Chino, he and Lecchio arriving on the scene, ropes in hand. |
10 |
| 6 | 1006 |
"Do not question us," said the Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1010 |
"Far worse," said the Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1012 |
"The same," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1014 |
"I am surprised, actually," said the Chino, "that you have heard of our profession, as it is not well known". |
10 |
| 6 | 1017 |
"What do you want here?" "Her!" said the Chino, pointing dramatically, menacingly, at the Brigella. |
10 |
| 6 | 1020 |
"Yes!" said the Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1023 |
"What is wrong, sir?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1025 |
"We have been hunting her for some time," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1033 |
"What is wrong now?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1035 |
"Of course," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1037 |
"What!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1039 |
"It is collared!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1041 |
"She is a slave!" said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1043 |
"Ah, well, an unclaimed slave is almost as good as a free woman," said Chino, reaching forth again with the noose. |
10 |
| 6 | 1045 |
"What now?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1048 |
"What!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1051 |
"No!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1053 |
"No!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1055 |
"Then desist, scoundrels," said Boots, "for this woman is my property!" "Is it true?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1060 |
I belong to him, legally and completely, in all ways, fully!" "There are, of course, two of us," said Chino, menacingly. |
10 |
| 6 | 1062 |
"Be off, you scurvy scamps, lest I feed you to your own sleen!" "I did not know we had any sleen," said Lecchio to Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1064 |
Immediately Chino and Lecchio, in apparent terror, scampered away. |
10 |
| 6 | 1159 |
At this moment Chino and Lecchio reappeared, now with their peddler's packs. |
10 |
| 6 | 1162 |
"Greetings," said Chino and Lecchio to Boots. |
10 |
| 6 | 1168 |
I cannot remove it!" "A pretty vulo," said Chino, scrutinizing the girl. |
10 |
| 6 | 1186 |
"And mine," said Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1189 |
"Hurry, lazy girl!" called Boots, leaving the stage with Chino and Lecchio. |
10 |
| 6 | 1190 |
"I did not know we had any sleen," Lecchio was saying to Chino. |
10 |
| 6 | 1198 |
In a moment Boots, smiling, reappeared on the stage, with Chino and Lecchio, and the Brigella, too, now freed of her preposterous burden. |
10 |
| 6 | 1200 |
Boots, and the Chino and Lecchio, smiling, bowed, again and again. |
10 |
| 6 | 1227 |
"Thank you!" The Chino and Lecchio gathered up the coins, handing them to Boots, who took them and deposited them somewhere inside his robes, perhaps into the lining or a hidden pocket. |
10 |
| 7 | 288 |
Boots was now trying to make do with his Chino and Lecchio, two other fellows, his Bina and his new "golden courtesan". |
10 |
| 7 | 291 |
Fortunately his Chino was an accomplished juggler and his Lecchio was excellent as a comic tight-rope walker. |
10 |
| 7 | 358 |
He was a few yards away, around the campfire with Chino and Lecchio. |
10 |
| 7 | 361 |
What shall be our fate first, I wonder, to merely starve in simple dignity or to perish in shame from such humiliation?" "You are wrong about at least one thing, Boots," said Chino. |
10 |
| 7 | 363 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 7 | 367 |
"Listen," said Chino. |
10 |
| 7 | 370 |
"Count it yourself," said Chino. |
10 |
| 7 | 376 |
Excellent, indeed! You did well also, of course, Chino, my friend, and you, too, Lecchio. |
10 |
| 8 | 55 |
There the other male members of Boots's company lay on their stomachs, bound, sly, agile Chino, simple Lecchio, Petrucchio, the tall, doleful "captain," and Publius Andronicus, supposedly the most famous actor in the company, saving perhaps the incredible Boots Tarsk-Bit himself. |
10 |
| 8 | 67 |
"That one," said the chief of the brigands, indicating Chino, "kill him". |
10 |
| 8 | 77 |
The fellow who had seized Chino thrust him back to the dirt. |
10 |
| 8 | 349 |
We finished untying Chino, Lecchio, Petrucchio and Publius Andronicus. |
10 |
| 9 | 18 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 188 |
"Come now," said Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 208 |
"Let him join the company," pressed Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 213 |
"Are we a refuge for homeless waifs, a food wagon for improvident wayfarers, a training ground for amateurs, a nomadic inn for stage-struck aspirants, an itinerant shelter for every awed, hopeful bumpkin desirous of donning the thespic mantle, and on our stage, that of the theater's titans, of shari... |
10 |
| 9 | 215 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 251 |
Chino, Lecchio and Petrucchio, too, moved about me, slapping me on the back and congratulating me. |
10 |
| 9 | 310 |
"Chino, bring a torch closer," said Boots. |
10 |
| 9 | 311 |
Chino came from the area of boxes and packs, with one of the torches. |
10 |
| 9 | 320 |
"Hold the torch closer," said Boots to Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 369 |
Petrucchio, Andronicus, and Lecchio joined Boots, myself and Chino near the bound woman. |
10 |
| 9 | 372 |
"Bring a slave whip," said Boots to Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 383 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 389 |
"Pretty," said Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 396 |
"Ah, yes!" mused Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 409 |
"I think she will do very nicely," said Chino. |
10 |
| 9 | 433 |
"Chino, would you please untie the slave's ankles?" "Surely," he said. |
10 |
| 9 | 436 |
"Lecchio, Chino, Andronicus, Petrucchio, if you would," said Boots, "bring along these other things, whatever seems of value". |
10 |
| 9 | 526 |
"And if you are not careful, it will be," said Chino, cheerfully. |
10 |
| 10 | 151 |
Chino and Andronicus were with him. |
10 |
| 10 | 166 |
"Good rolls," said Boots to Chino. |
10 |
| 10 | 167 |
"Yes," agreed Chino, helping himself to another, as well. |
10 |
| 10 | 182 |
Meanwhile he continued to talk with Chino and Andronicus. |
10 |
| 15 | 2 |
"We have caught him for you!" Lecchio and Chino held my arms. |
10 |
| 15 | 6 |
I shook Chino and Lecchio violently in the swirling dust, my head down, almost dislodging them from me. |
10 |
| 15 | 11 |
Then he said to Chino and Lecchio, "Pull the sleen's hands behind him!" This was done, and the manacles were snapped on me. |
10 |
| 15 | 12 |
Chino and Lecchio, however, continued to hold my arms. |
10 |
| 15 | 120 |
"No," I said, "no!" "Hold him," suggested Boots, apprehensively, to Chino and Lecchio. |
10 |
| 15 | 131 |
"Never! Never! No such triumph for you! No such humiliation for me!" I shook Chino and Lecchio about, fiercely, throwing them even from their feet, but they clung, tenaciously, desperately, like sleen, to my arms. |
10 |
| 16 | 35 |
Before Petrucchio, as though just having entered into the same area, the object of his attention, were Chino and Lecchio, in the garb of cloth workers, and with packs on their backs. |
10 |
| 16 | 36 |
"Back, even in your vast numbers, you warriors and foes," cried Petrucchio, grimly, "lest I slice you like roast tarsk, lest I shred you like tur-pah and peel you like suls!" Chino and Lecchio, understood as two simple travelers on the road, come unexpectedly on Petrucchio and his companions, looked... |
10 |
| 16 | 38 |
"But, good sir," called Chino, keeping his distance, "we are but two humble cloth workers!" "Do not seek to deceive Petrucchio, captain of Turia!" cried Petrucchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 55 |
"You see our garb," protested Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 59 |
"And here are our packs!" cried Chino, exhibiting the packs. |
10 |
| 16 | 68 |
Chino and Lecchio looked at one another. |
10 |
| 16 | 91 |
"Is it true that you are," inquired Chino, "as you suggested when first you called our attention to your perspicacity in penetrating disguises, Petrucchio?" "Yes," said Petrucchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 95 |
"The noble Petrucchio, the famed Petrucchio?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 96 |
"Chino," protested Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 97 |
"Shhh," said Chino, admonishing his companion. |
10 |
| 16 | 99 |
"The courageous Petrucchio?" "Chino!" said Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 100 |
"Shhh," said Chino, again admonishing his companion to silence. |
10 |
| 16 | 103 |
"He of Turia?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 107 |
"Surely you have heard of this fellow, Lecchio," said Chino to his companion. |
10 |
| 16 | 110 |
"Of course, the great Petrucchio!" "Was it not he who single-handedly carved broad swaths through the legions of ten cities in the seven meadows of Saleria?" asked Chino of Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 114 |
"And alone stormed the ramparts of twenty cities, reducing them to rubble?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 119 |
"What brings you to these lands, noble captain?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 124 |
"What then, possibly, could you be doing here?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 126 |
"They are, then, all free women?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 128 |
"How fortunate they are to be under the care of one so skilled and courageous, as well as wise," said Chino, adding, seemingly sotto voce, to Lecchio, "or so it would seem". |
10 |
| 16 | 130 |
"What means this 'or so it would seem'?" "His hearing," said Chino to Lecchio, who was sticking his finger in his ear and shaking his head, as though to restore his sense of hearing after having been partially deafened, "is more acute than that of the prowling sleen!" Then he said to Petrucchio, "Oh... |
10 |
| 16 | 131 |
"And what, good sir," demanded Petrucchio, "might be the meaning of this guarded 'I suppose'?" "Why, it, too, is nothing," said Chino, adding, "—I suppose". |
10 |
| 16 | 133 |
"Not at all," said Chino, hastily. |
10 |
| 16 | 136 |
"They are, of course, free women," said Chino, reassuring himself of the point. |
10 |
| 16 | 138 |
"Then my fears are groundless," said Chino, relieved. |
10 |
| 16 | 146 |
"It is as I feared," groaned Chino, supposedly merely to Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 148 |
"Yes," said Chino, dismally. |
10 |
| 16 | 150 |
"What is going on there?" "No," said Chino, firmly. |
10 |
| 16 | 154 |
"It is nothing, Captain," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 157 |
"You have, of course, been paid in advance for your troubles?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 159 |
"In authenticated gold, naturally," added Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 161 |
"Of course," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 167 |
"It seems they are not eager for the coins to be tested," observed Chino, meaningfully, adding, "even though there would be no charge for the service. |
10 |
| 16 | 169 |
"Not between friends, such as we," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 172 |
"How are they?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 179 |
"Surely things are all right," said Chino, optimistically. |
10 |
| 16 | 193 |
"Yes, yes?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 207 |
"He is certified by the Builders," Chino reminded them. |
10 |
| 16 | 220 |
"Do you have any more?" asked Chino, in assistance to Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 222 |
"Are you sure?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 224 |
"We are now as coinless as slaves!" "Excellent," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 226 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 229 |
"Oh, nothing," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 235 |
"What is the amount?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 237 |
"It is as I feared!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 242 |
"It could, of course, be a coincidence," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 245 |
"It could be a coincidence," suggested Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 250 |
"Be patient, ladies," said Chino, "—if ladies you truly be". |
10 |
| 16 | 252 |
"It has to do with our suspicions," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 254 |
"Oh, nothing," said Chino, evasively. |
10 |
| 16 | 257 |
"You have known these women personally, of course, for several years?" said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 260 |
"It is probably nothing," said Chino, reassuringly. |
10 |
| 16 | 263 |
"It is only that two days ago, in the morning," said Chino, "in Pseudopolis, a sum of three double tarns, fifteen tarns, eighteen silver tarsks, twenty-seven copper tarsks, and one hundred and five tarsk-bits was stolen from the vintner, Groppus, by three female slaves masquerading as free women, re... |
10 |
| 16 | 268 |
"Of course," hastily agreed Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 270 |
"Oh?" asked Chino, interested. |
10 |
| 16 | 273 |
"They are also reputed to be splendid liars," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 275 |
"What!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 277 |
"I think it is possible," said Petrucchio, confidentially, to Chino and Lecchio, "that these very women with me may be the escaped slaves of whom you speak". |
10 |
| 16 | 278 |
"No!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 286 |
Chino and Lecchio looked at one another, frightened, impressed. |
10 |
| 16 | 288 |
"What should we do?" asked Chino, looking to Petrucchio, naturally enough, in the situation, for guidance. |
10 |
| 16 | 295 |
Lecchio and Chino hastily poured the coins into their wallets. |
10 |
| 16 | 300 |
"What were the names of the escaped slaves?" asked Petrucchio of Chino and Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 301 |
"Lana, Tana and Bana," said Chino, quickly. |
10 |
| 16 | 315 |
Chino and Lecchio looked at one another, disbelievingly. |
10 |
| 16 | 316 |
Then Chino said, "Unless, of course, they are lying". |
10 |
| 16 | 319 |
"Let us make a determination on the matter," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 322 |
"Be silent, female," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 326 |
"Tests," said Chino, grimly. |
10 |
| 16 | 328 |
"Put back your hood, take off your veil, you," said Chino to Rowena. |
10 |
| 16 | 330 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 332 |
Chino regarded her, grimly. |
10 |
| 16 | 336 |
"I shall have you taken before the law for slander!" "Do you wish to have it done for you?" inquired Chino, meaningfully. |
10 |
| 16 | 338 |
"Then, comply," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 340 |
"Yes," said Chino, "and quickly". |
10 |
| 16 | 342 |
"It is an unspeakable insult! I shall have the magistrates on you for this!" Chino took a quick step toward her, and she stepped back hastily, fumbling with the hood and veil. |
10 |
| 16 | 346 |
"There!" cried Chino, triumphantly. |
10 |
| 16 | 348 |
"That is the face of a slave, if I ever saw one!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 362 |
"You, there, too!" called Chino to Lady Telitsia. |
10 |
| 16 | 365 |
"There!" cried Chino, triumphantly. |
10 |
| 16 | 371 |
"You see," said Chino to Petrucchio, "they have the faces of slaves". |
10 |
| 16 | 374 |
"It remains, of course," said Chino, "to see if they have the bodies of slaves". |
10 |
| 16 | 387 |
Chino seized Rowena by the hair, and, lifting his arm up, held her up straight, before Petrucchio, and Lecchio took Lady Telitsia and Bina into custody, one in each hand, in exactly the same fashion, making them stand up straight, displaying them identically. |
10 |
| 16 | 388 |
"Do they have the bodies of slaves?" Chino asked the audience. |
10 |
| 16 | 392 |
"Note the slave bodies," said Chino to Petrucchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 394 |
"And their delicious slave curves," said Chino, bending Rowena back a bit. |
10 |
| 16 | 397 |
"But can they move as slaves?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 399 |
"Wiggle, Lana," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 401 |
"Now," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 403 |
"Oh!" she cried, wincing, Chino's hand in her hair, tightening and twisting, instructing her in obedience. |
10 |
| 16 | 404 |
"See?" asked Chino of Petrucchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 406 |
"Very good, Lana," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 419 |
"Very good, girls," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 423 |
"Down on your hands and knees, facing that direction," said Chino to Rowena. |
10 |
| 16 | 426 |
"And I," cried Bina, "am the Lady Bina of Pseudopolis!" "You see?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 432 |
"You are clever slaves, to be sure," said Chino, "but now it is all over for you. |
10 |
| 16 | 435 |
"They look well, positioned, do they not?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 441 |
"That was doubtless much the trouble," said Chino, disapprovingly. |
10 |
| 16 | 444 |
"Slaves have no standing before the law," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 447 |
"I am a free woman! I am not a slave!" "Perhaps you should consider being silent," suggested Chino, "lest you be whipped for lying". |
10 |
| 16 | 450 |
"I doubt that they are clever enough to fool one such as the great Petrucchio," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 455 |
"Of course not!" "See?" Chino said to Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 458 |
"Let us see if they chain as slaves," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 463 |
"Oh!" said Bina, a collar, with its looped chain in the hands of Chino, closed about her neck. |
10 |
| 16 | 470 |
"You see," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 483 |
"He is right," granted Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 501 |
"You have now captured Lana, Tana and Bana," said Chino to Petrucchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 505 |
"Let us go!" "When you slaves are properly branded and collared," said Chino to Rowena, "that will be the end of your silliness. |
10 |
| 16 | 509 |
"Did you have anything more to say?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 520 |
"A fine reward indeed he would be likely to receive," said Chino, confidentially, to the audience. |
10 |
| 16 | 523 |
"I do not think the theater could sustain such a blow," said Chino to the crowd. |
10 |
| 16 | 525 |
"Too, of course," confided Chino to the crowd, "we have had our eyes on these wenches from the beginning. |
10 |
| 16 | 530 |
"And to whom are you talking?" "Oh, to no one," said Chino, innocently. |
10 |
| 16 | 534 |
"To whom are you talking?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 536 |
"Give us these wenches," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 542 |
"Well, then," said he to Chino, "let me take them down the road and see how at these shops of which you speak go this day's pudding prices". |
10 |
| 16 | 544 |
"To weak masters who did not even have you collared and branded!" scoffed Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 553 |
"We were," said Chino, "but Lecchio here forgot a ball of yarn, having left it in a Kal-da shop". |
10 |
| 16 | 555 |
"Surely you remember?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 557 |
"I remember it quite clearly," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 560 |
"And we are going back for it, anyway," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 561 |
"All that way," asked Lecchio, "for only a ball of yarn?" "Yes," said Chino, irritably. |
10 |
| 16 | 563 |
"It was," said Chino, angrily. |
10 |
| 16 | 565 |
At this point Chino delivered to Lecchio one of the numerous kicks in the shins, and such, which the crowds had come to expect in these diversions. |
10 |
| 16 | 567 |
"Yes, that one," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 570 |
"Yellow," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 572 |
"Very well, my friends," said Petrucchio, indicating the direction from whence Chino and Lecchio had come, "we shall all go this way. |
10 |
| 16 | 574 |
"We welcome your company," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 577 |
"That could be very unfortunate," said Chino, apprehensively. |
10 |
| 16 | 579 |
"But it probably does not matter," speculated Chino, "given your prowess in combat". |
10 |
| 16 | 583 |
"You have probably not yet heard the news," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 587 |
"The war," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 589 |
"The war with Turia," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 595 |
"I am not sure," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 599 |
"I see that you are trembling with military ardor," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 601 |
"You are welcome to come with us, of course," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 606 |
"It is a lucky day for these lands then," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 609 |
"It may be difficult to make it back through the war zone," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 612 |
"Yes, for the mobs and soldiers," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 616 |
"What do you suggest?" "I wonder what all that dust is over there," said Chino, looking off in one direction. |
10 |
| 16 | 618 |
"It was probably just my imagination," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 620 |
"We are very short on cash," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 622 |
"You do not wish to be paid in false gold, or stolen gold, do you?" asked Chino, disbelievingly. |
10 |
| 16 | 624 |
"Perhaps we could have a wager," said Chino, drawing out a coin. |
10 |
| 16 | 626 |
Chino flipped the coin, looked at it, and tucked it back in his wallet. |
10 |
| 16 | 629 |
"There," said Chino, fishing out the coin, and pointing to it. |
10 |
| 16 | 632 |
"Would you care for another wager?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 634 |
"I am thinking of a number between one and three," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 636 |
"Sorry," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 646 |
"Do you think that if we were truly slaves, we would not be branded and collared? Gorean masters are not that permissive, not that indulgent, with their women!" "You will soon learn, Lana," said Chino, "and more clearly and vividly than you can even now begin to imagine just how true that is". |
10 |
| 16 | 650 |
He then turned to Chino and Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 655 |
Chino, and then Lecchio, too, helped Petrucchio, bit by bit, to free that mighty wooden blade. |
10 |
| 16 | 657 |
"You are welcome," said Chino and Lecchio. |
10 |
| 16 | 658 |
"Now, craven sleen," cried Petrucchio, flourishing that great blade, freed at last of its housing, "be off!" "Very well," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 661 |
"Yes?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 662 |
"Surrender to me these poor wronged women!" "Wronged women?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 664 |
"They are free women!" "But all women are slaves," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 668 |
"Even if they are not yet legal slaves, for the sake of argument," said Chino, "that detail can be rectified by sundown". |
10 |
| 16 | 673 |
"We would be happy to surrender them," said Chino, paying his partner no attention. |
10 |
| 16 | 675 |
"But unfortunately," continued Chino, "we cannot, according to our caste codes, do so without a fight". |
10 |
| 16 | 677 |
"I am very sorry," said Chino, "but the codes of the cloth workers are very strict on such matters". |
10 |
| 16 | 679 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 682 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 687 |
"Doubtless much depends upon definitions," said Chino, "but we must make do as best we can". |
10 |
| 16 | 689 |
"Then," said Chino, "we must substitute a duel to the death". |
10 |
| 16 | 691 |
"Yes, I am afraid so," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 694 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 696 |
"True," granted Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 698 |
"There you are mistaken," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 700 |
"Yes," said Chino, drawing forth from his pack a large pair of cloth-worker's shears. |
10 |
| 16 | 702 |
"Fearsome engines of destruction," said Chino, "the dreaded paired blades of Anango. |
10 |
| 16 | 708 |
"I shall do my best," said Chino, "not to reflect the sun into your eyes with them, thereby blinding you, making you helpless, and thereby distracting you from your charge". |
10 |
| 16 | 710 |
"Against one such as you, doubtless they will be of small avail," said Chino, meditatively, "but against lesser warriors, war generals, high captains, pride leaders, battle chieftains, instructors in swordsmanship, and such, they have proven more than adequate. |
10 |
| 16 | 714 |
"Stay on all fours, Lana," warned Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 716 |
"Clearly," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 722 |
"I would really think so, honestly," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 724 |
"Thank you," said Chino, warmly. |
10 |
| 16 | 726 |
"I was preparing to return a tarsk-bit to Chino from whom I borrowed it last year. |
10 |
| 16 | 730 |
"That is an act of incredible nobility!" cried Chino, overwhelmed. |
10 |
| 16 | 732 |
"I cannot praise your generosity too highly," said Chino, leaving it to the audience to interpret this perhaps somewhat ambiguous remark. |
10 |
| 16 | 734 |
"Surely the glory of such an act must be long remembered in the songs of Petrucchio, Captain of Turia," exclaimed Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 736 |
"In a hundred halls," said Chino, "about a thousand campfires". |
10 |
| 16 | 738 |
"Surely you know them well?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 742 |
"We wish you well, noble captain," said Chino, shaking Petrucchio's hand, warmly. |
10 |
| 16 | 746 |
"May we have your permission to tell our children and our grandchildren about this?" inquired Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 748 |
"Thank you," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 750 |
Chino took the switch from Lecchio, and lightly tapped Rowena on the shoulder with it. |
10 |
| 16 | 757 |
Chino handed the switch back to Lecchio who used it, tapping the girls here and there, and brushing it against them for delicate adjustments, to line them up in an exact and careful order. |
10 |
| 16 | 758 |
"Well," said Chino to Petrucchio, after having satisfied himself with the quality of Lecchio's work, "it is time to be on our way. |
10 |
| 16 | 761 |
"I am sure we will," said Chino. |
10 |
| 16 | 763 |
"Come now, girls," said Chino, "we must be on our way". |
10 |
| 16 | 767 |
Chino and Lecchio, then, following the neck-chained girls, left the stage. |
10 |
| 16 | 828 |
Bina, smiling, hung back, standing between Petrucchio and Chino. |
10 |
| 21 | 286 |
"You are not entitled to such a funeral," said Chino. |
10 |
| 21 | 294 |
"Yes," said Chino. |
10 |
| 21 | 303 |
"He is dead!" cried Chino. |
10 |
| 21 | 358 |
He then exited, somewhat grandly, followed by Chino and Lecchio, supporting Petrucchio between them. |
10 |
| 21 | 360 |
"Be quiet!" Chino was cautioning him, grunting, and not altogether amused. |
10 |
| 22 | 4 |
"Do we know her?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 22 | 6 |
"Superb!" said Chino. |
10 |
| 22 | 8 |
"Excellent," said Chino. |
10 |
| 22 | 19 |
"Yes," said Boots, "and, later, so, too, did Andronicus, with Chino, Lecchio, and Petrucchio". |
10 |
| 22 | 104 |
He learned it when he was coming back out of the city, with Chino and Lecchio, with Petrucchio as his supposed prisoner". |
10 |
| 22 | 121 |
"But who would pay to see knives thrown at a slave?" asked Chino. |
10 |
| 22 | 188 |
"We, too, will miss you, all of us," said Chino. |

I thought with amusement of what it might be to see the former Lady Ina, then a slave, hurrying about on a stage, crying out, trying to evade, but never quite managing it, the paddles of a Chino or Lecchio. |
