| 1 | 28 |
Ta-Sardar-Var is a direction which appears on all Gorean maps; Ta-Sardar-Ki-Var, of course, never appears on a map, since it would be any direction which is not Ta-Sardar-Var. |
9 |
| 1 | 29 |
Accordingly, the main divisions of the map are Ta-Sardar-Var, and the other seven; taking the Sardar as our "north pole" the other directions, clockwise as Earth clocks move (Gorean clock hands move in the opposite direction) would be, first, Ta-Sardar-Var, then, in order, Ror, Rim, Tun, Vask (somet... |

The caravan, of course, was bound for Turia. |
9 |
| 2 | 72 |
In the thinking of the Wagon Peoples it is called the Omen Year, though the Omen Year is actually a season, rather than a year, which occupies a part of two of their regular years, for the Wagon Peoples calculate the year from the Season of Snows to the Season of Snows; Turians, incidentally, figure... |
9 |
| 2 | 74 |
* * A consequence of the chronological conventions of the Wagon Peoples, of course, is that their years tend to vary in length, but this fact, which might bother us, does not bother them, any more than the fact that some men and some animals live longer than others; the women of the Wagon Peoples, i... |
9 |
| 2 | 90 |
It would not, of course, be to the benefit of Turia, or the farther cities, or, indeed, any of the free cities of even northern Gor, if the isolated fierce peoples of the south were to join behind a single standard and turn their herds northward—away from their dry plains to the lusher reache... |
9 |
| 2 | 104 |
It requires less food, of course, than the tarn. |
9 |
| 3 | 124 |
The wagons would, of course, follow the herds. |
9 |
| 3 | 127 |
Both of these claims are, of course, mistaken, and the Ubars of the Wagon Peoples know well each wagon and the number of branded beasts in the various herds; each herd is, incidentally, composed of several smaller herds, each watched over by its own riders. |
9 |
| 5 | 30 |
"Of course," said Kamchak. |
9 |
| 5 | 111 |
"Of course," said Kamchak, "she has been raised to be a fit prize in the games of Love War". |
9 |
| 6 | 7 |
The difficulty, of course, is in first obtaining the brand. |
9 |
| 6 | 9 |
This acceptance brand, of course, carries with it a certain stain of ignominy, suggesting that those who approach the wagons do so as slaves. |
9 |
| 6 | 29 |
He assumed, of course, from the brevity of her skirt, that she was slave. |
9 |
| 6 | 40 |
It was now, of course, torn and soiled. |
9 |
| 6 | 185 |
"Of course," he said. |
9 |
| 7 | 13 |
There were also, among the other goods, two girls, blonde and blue-eyed, unclothed, chained; they had perhaps been a gift to Kutaituchik; or had been the daughters of enemies; they might have been from any city; both were beautiful; one was sitting with her knees tucked under her chin, her hands cla... |
9 |
| 7 | 77 |
What they were most interested in, of course, and what I was most interested in, namely, how and why the girl came to be wandering on the Plains of Turia—in the Lands of the Wagon Peoples—they, and I, did not learn. |
9 |
| 7 | 88 |
It was perhaps only that she was convenient, and, of course, that she was lovely, thus a fitting bearer of the collar, herself a gift with the message to please the Tuchuks, and perhaps better dispose them toward its contents. |
9 |
| 7 | 164 |
I could read it, of course. |
9 |
| 7 | 214 |
In the meantime I would, of course, continue my work. |
9 |
| 8 | 4 |
The herds would circle Turia, for this was the portion of the Omen Year called the Passing of Turia, in which the Wagon Peoples gather and begin to move toward their winter pastures; the second portion of the Omen Year is the Wintering, which takes place far north of Turia, the equator being approac... |
9 |
| 8 | 53 |
The Wintering was not unpleasant, although, even so far north, the days and nights were often quite chilly; the Wagon Peoples, and their slaves as well, wore boskhide and furs during this time; both male and female, slave or free, wore furred boots and trousers, coats and the flopping, ear-flapped c... |
9 |
| 8 | 78 |
Slave girls, on Gor, address all free men as master, though, of course, only one such would be her true master. |
9 |
| 8 | 80 |
Of course, Kamchak had rented three Turian girls, slaves, to train her; they had done so, binding her wrists and leading her about the wagons, teaching her the words for things, beating her with switches when she made mistakes; Elizabeth had learned quickly. |
9 |
| 8 | 93 |
He was, of course, aware that no girl, Gorean or otherwise, could be expected to take lightly a sudden reduction to an abject and complete slavery, particularly considering what that would mean among the wagons. |
9 |
| 8 | 96 |
She did not, of course, understand Gorean, but his intention and his impatience were sufficiently clear to preclude the necessity of a translation. |
9 |
| 8 | 129 |
She was, of course, different from anything he had ever owned. |
9 |
| 8 | 135 |
Elizabeth Cardwell, of course, knew nothing of these things. |
9 |
| 8 | 142 |
He did not permit her, of course, to bind or dress her hair; it must be worn loose; that alone, naturally, was sufficient to mark her slave among the wagons. |
9 |
| 8 | 156 |
Besides being a man, of course, Kamchak was her master; he owned the wench; thus he would have his desire. |
9 |
| 8 | 215 |
The bow, of course, small, for use from the saddle, lacks the range and power of the Gorean longbow or crossbow; still, at close range, with considerable force, firing rapidly, arrow after arrow, it is a fearsome weapon. |
9 |
| 8 | 242 |
I had determined, of course, to my satisfaction, having spoken with him once, that the boy, or young man, was indeed Gorean; his people and their people before them and as far back as anyone knew had been, as it is said, of the Wagons. |
9 |
| 8 | 243 |
The problem of the young man, and perhaps the reason that he had not yet won even the Courage Scar of the Tuchuks, was that he had fallen into the hands of Turian raiders in his youth and had spent several years in the city; in his adolescence he had, at great risk to himself, escaped from the city ... |
9 |
| 8 | 273 |
That alone, though of course it meant she would work very hard, was regarded as a most enviable distinction. |
9 |
| 8 | 291 |
It was not expected, of course, that any of the girls would reach the lance. |
9 |
| 8 | 292 |
If one did, of course, the rider would decree her safe. |
9 |
| 8 | 356 |
She had perhaps observed the running of Tuka and the Kassar girl, trying to watch and learn, but she was of course utterly inexperienced in this cruel sport of the men of the wagons. |
9 |
| 8 | 388 |
Albrecht was a fine rider and skilled in this sport and, of course, this time, his quarry had been only an untrained barbarian slave, indeed, a girl who had never before run from the bola. |
9 |
| 8 | 458 |
Little did we know that one of those girls was Dina of Turia, who, of course, would run not for the skilled Kamchak, but for his awkward friend, the clumsy Tarl Cabot, not even of the Wagon Peoples, new to the kaiila and bola! Conrad and Albrecht had perhaps even come to the camp of the Tuchuks with... |
9 |
| 8 | 462 |
Albrecht and Conrad had come for a simple purpose, to best a Tuchuk and, in the process, pick up a girl or two; Elizabeth Cardwell, of course, was the only one we had on hand. |
9 |
| 8 | 481 |
It is dangerous, of course, to approach any but a naive, straight-running, perhaps terrified, girl at full speed, for should she dodge or move to one side, one will have to slow the kaiila to turn it after her, lest one be carried past her too rapidly, even at the margins of bola range. |
9 |
| 8 | 520 |
She tried to free her wrists, but could not, of course, do so. |
9 |
| 9 | 18 |
There would be something, of course, to be said for such a claim, for the merchants are often indeed in their way, brave, shrewd, skilled men, making long journeys, venturing their goods, risking caravans, negotiating commercial agreements, among themselves developing and enforcing a body of Merchan... |
9 |
| 9 | 33 |
In Saphrar's case, of course, he being of the Caste of Merchants, the notching of the ear would be a coincidence, albeit one that must have caused him some embarrassment. |
9 |
| 9 | 66 |
I had not made use of this particular tool, and had contented myself with merely taking a bite or two, to satisfy the requirements of etiquette, from each course. |
9 |
| 9 | 88 |
Then, of course, he worried a great deal, and, I grant him, wisely. |
9 |
| 9 | 92 |
He was right, of course. |
9 |
| 9 | 105 |
I observed the banquet tables, laid out in an open-ended rectangle, permitting slaves to enter at the open end, facilitating the serving, and, of course, allowing entertainers to perform among the tables. |
9 |
| 9 | 142 |
The girl herself, of course, standing or kneeling in the presence of the master, may be told to drop the garment. |
9 |
| 9 | 164 |
Her face could not be seen, for it was veiled, a white silken veil trimmed with gold, nor even her hair, for it was hidden in the folds of the free woman's Robes of Concealment, in her case, of course, done in the colors of the Merchants. |
9 |
| 9 | 191 |
Pretending not to listen I was, of course, as attentive as possible to their conversation. |
9 |
| 9 | 208 |
Her own veil, of course, had not been lowered. |
9 |
| 9 | 228 |
"Ah!" she said, "I see—a Tuchuk—of course". |
9 |
| 9 | 268 |
"You are an outlaw of course," she said. |
9 |
| 9 | 278 |
I did not clearly understand Kamchak's motivations in this matter—unless, of course, he knew the true nature of the golden sphere, in which case, naturally, he would recognize it as priceless. |
9 |
| 9 | 309 |
"You are aware, of course," she said, "that if you were not an ambassador of the Wagon Peoples at this time I would order you slain". |
9 |
| 9 | 353 |
Like Hereena, of course, she wore the tiny golden nose ring. |
9 |
| 9 | 435 |
I was pleased, though I would not have admitted it, at Kamchak's boldness, for it was a face for which a man might risk much, even death in the torture dungeons of Turia, utterly beautiful though now, of course, transformed with rage, far more beautiful than had been that of the most beautiful of th... |
9 |
| 9 | 436 |
"You recall, of course," Kamchak was saying, "that I am an ambassador of the Wagon Peoples and am entitled to the courtesies of your city". |
9 |
| 10 | 180 |
The wily Tuchuk, of course, had had me spit first. |
9 |
| 10 | 206 |
The young man seemed to me a strong, fine fellow, though of course unscarred. |
9 |
| 10 | 209 |
He could not, of course, compete in these contests, for there is status involved in these matters and only warriors of repute are permitted to participate. |
9 |
| 10 | 259 |
Now the excitement of the throng seemed mostly to course among the warriors of the Wagon Peoples as they rose in their stirrups to see better the swaying, approaching palanquins, each reputedly bearing a gem of great beauty, a fit prize in the savage contests of Love War. |
9 |
| 10 | 261 |
The games of Love War, of course, are celebrated every spring between, so to speak, the city and the plains, whereas the Omen Year occurs only every tenth year. |
9 |
| 10 | 341 |
She could not, of course, do so. |
9 |
| 10 | 343 |
The key to the rings hung, of course, on a small hook toward the top of the stake; it was about two inches above her head. |
9 |
| 10 | 346 |
I saw Hereena standing insolently at her stake, but her brown wrists, of course, were bound to it by steel. |
9 |
| 10 | 548 |
Kamras, of course, had the sun at his back, using it as naturally as the tarn to protect his advance. |
9 |
| 11 | 27 |
To them, of course, she was now no more than they, save perhaps that her flesh would not be used to bear the poles of palanquins, to carry boxes nor dig in the earth, but would be appointed its own tasks, lighter and more suitable, doubtless even more pleasing than theirs to a master. |
9 |
| 11 | 51 |
"Of course!" she wept. |
9 |
| 11 | 70 |
"You understand, of course," continued Saphrar, "that at the instant you became slave all your properties and riches, your wardrobes and jewels, your investments and assets, chattels and lands, became mine". |
9 |
| 11 | 130 |
She had, of course, in her time with the wagons, become used to this form of exercise. |
9 |
| 11 | 188 |
I knew, of course, that it was spring and, in this hemisphere, most birds, if there were any migrating, would be moving south. |
9 |
| 11 | 216 |
He of course would not have approved had one of the girls been maimed, blinded or disfigured. |
9 |
| 11 | 363 |
"Of course," smiled Kamchak, feeding Aphris, "she is superb". |
9 |
| 11 | 399 |
"Do you not recall," asked Kamchak, "the banquet of Saphrar?" "Of course," she said, warily. |
9 |
| 12 | 11 |
It was possible, of course, that I might declare my mission to Kutaituchik or Kamchak, and see what would occur—but I knew that Kamchak had said to Saphrar of Turia that the Tuchuks were fond of the golden sphere—and I had no hopes that I might make them part with it—and surely ... |
9 |
| 12 | 120 |
I finished the fruit and, of course, it had seven seeds. |
9 |
| 12 | 130 |
"Of course," I said, "naturally". |
9 |
| 12 | 199 |
"Of course," she laughed, "for a Turian slave!" "We will be late for the performance," said Elizabeth, "if we do not hurry". |
9 |
| 12 | 206 |
* * * * Kamchak, with my money, fairly won in wager of course, paid our admission and we found our way within the curtained enclosure. |
9 |
| 12 | 209 |
The Tuchuks, of course, were most in evidence, sitting cross-legged in circles rather about a large fire near the center of the enclosure. |
9 |
| 12 | 214 |
One of the instruments was an eight-stringed czehar, rather like a large flat oblong box; it is held across the lap when sitting cross-legged and is played with a horn pick; the other was the kalika, a six-stringed instrument; it, like the czehar, is flat-bridged and its strings are adjusted by mean... |
9 |
| 12 | 220 |
Lastly it might be mentioned, thinking it is of some interest, musicians on Gor are never enslaved; they may, of course, be exiled, tortured, slain and such; it is said, perhaps truly, that he who makes music must, like the tarn and the Vosk gull, be free. |
9 |
| 12 | 242 |
Female slaves on Gor, of course, are used to being eyed boldly. |
9 |
| 12 | 254 |
It would not have been wise, of course, for even were she successful, her consequent hideous death at the hands of the Clan of Torturers would probably, all things considered, have made her act something of a bad bargain. |
9 |
| 12 | 400 |
I had seen her before, of course, as had Kamchak, but it was startling still to see her thus in the firelight—her hair was long and silken black, her eyes dark, the color of her skin tannish. |
9 |
| 12 | 440 |
"Of course," I said. |
9 |
| 12 | 441 |
"Of course," she said, numbly. |
9 |
| 12 | 449 |
"Of course," she wept, putting her head down. |
9 |
| 12 | 498 |
I might, of course, and would, encourage Kamchak to sell her to a good master, but Kamchak, cooperative to a point, would undoubtedly have his eye fixed most decisively on the price to be obtained. |
9 |
| 12 | 499 |
I might, of course, if I could find the money, buy her myself and attempt to find her a kind master. |
9 |
| 13 | 142 |
Among the animals I saw many verr; some domestic tarsks, their tusks sheathed; cages of flapping vulos, some sleen, some kaiila, even some bosk; by the Paravaci haruspexes I saw manacled male slaves, if such were to be permitted; commonly, I understood from Kamchak, the Tuchuks, Kassars and Kataii r... |
9 |
| 13 | 208 |
She could not, of course, read it. |
9 |
| 14 | 109 |
I knew Kutaituchik, of course, only as the huge, somnolent mass of man who sat cross-legged on a robe of gray boskhide, his eyes dreaming. |
9 |
| 15 | 10 |
In the field the Tuchuks would counter the tarnsmen by breaking open the Hundreds into scattered Tens and presenting only erratic, swiftly moving targets; it is difficult to strike a rider or beast at a distance from tarnback when he is well aware of you and ready to evade your missile; and, of cour... |
9 |
| 15 | 11 |
The archery of tarnsmen, of course, is most effective against massed infantry or clusters of the ponderous tharlarion. |
9 |
| 15 | 26 |
"Of course," said Kamchak, irritably. |
9 |
| 15 | 38 |
"Of course," he said. |
9 |
| 16 | 44 |
"Of course," he said, "I am Tuchuk". |
9 |
| 16 | 74 |
The walls provide a means for defending the water and also, of course, considering the number of wells in the city, some of which, by the way, are fed by springs, provide a number of defensible enclaves should portions of the city fall into enemy hands. |
9 |
| 16 | 84 |
I was chilly in the spring night and my clothes, of course, were soaked. |
9 |
| 16 | 89 |
"Of course," said Harold. |
9 |
| 16 | 102 |
"Of course," said Harold. |
9 |
| 16 | 120 |
"This means, of course," said another voice, "that others know of the well". |
9 |
| 16 | 154 |
"Of course," said Harold, "I see now—the quiva—he is Paravaci, naturally". |
9 |
| 16 | 173 |
"Is it known to Saphrar," I inquired, "that you have received gold from the Tuchuks?" "Of course," said Ha-Keel. |
9 |
| 16 | 219 |
"Of course," said he. |
9 |
| 16 | 220 |
"Also," I cried, suddenly aware, "the rence paper in the message collar, paper from Port Kar!" "Of course," he said. |
9 |
| 16 | 295 |
How else would he dare to use the name of Priest-Kings on the message in the message collar?" I knew, of course, that the man was not a Priest-King. |
9 |
| 16 | 298 |
I did not know, of course, if the technology at his disposal was his own, or that of his kind, or if it were furnished by others—unknown—not seen—who had their own stake in these games of two worlds, perhaps more. |
9 |
| 16 | 313 |
They could guarantee their first objective, of course, by slaying me. |
9 |
| 16 | 316 |
Saphrar, of course, had been in Turia for years. |
9 |
| 16 | 331 |
"Of course," I said. |
9 |
| 17 | 77 |
"If I succeed in slaying or escaping the monster in the pool," I said, casually, "I take it that I am then, of course, free". |
9 |
| 17 | 82 |
"None has, of course," said Saphrar, "ever succeeded in doing either". |
9 |
| 18 | 15 |
He had, of course, controlled the movement of the vine from the panel, undoubtedly by wires. |
9 |
| 19 | 15 |
"You are aware, of course," I mentioned, "that the Pleasure Gardens of so rich a man as Saphrar of Turia may contain a large number of female slaves—not all of whom might be trusted to keep silent—and some of whom will undoubtedly notice something as unusual as two strange warriors wan... |
9 |
| 19 | 24 |
"Of course," he said, "I am a Tuchuk". |
9 |
| 19 | 101 |
It was, of course, Hereena, she of the First Wagon. |
9 |
| 19 | 125 |
"Of course," said he. |
9 |
| 19 | 165 |
"Of course," he said, "you are Tuchuk". |
9 |
| 19 | 168 |
"Of course," said Harold, "though you are Tuchuk, you are also female". |
9 |
| 21 | 93 |
It would be extremely dangerous, of course, to leave the city in the near future. |
9 |
| 21 | 119 |
Dina had lived for a time on the savings of the family, but had then taken them, sewn in the lining of her robes, and purchased a place on a caravan wagon bound for Ar, which caravan had been ambushed by Kassars, in which raid she herself, of course, had fallen into their hands. |
9 |
| 21 | 173 |
During times of danger or siege, of course, none but military personnel or civilian defenders are permitted on the walls. |
9 |
| 21 | 205 |
I, of course, did not wish to wait a few days—or more—or however long it might take Ha-Keel to rest his men, square his accounts with Saphrar and depart. |
9 |
| 22 | 1 |
Kamchak's Feast It had, of course, been the Tuchuk turn. |
9 |
| 22 | 55 |
"I of course recommended the same rank for myself," said Harold, "inasmuch as I am the one who really carried the thing off". |
9 |
| 22 | 57 |
"You do not, of course, have a Thousand to command," pointed out Harold. |
9 |
| 23 | 100 |
It would be, of course, only a matter of time before our barricade would be forced or outflanked, perhaps from five pasangs distant, in an undefended sector. |
9 |
| 23 | 198 |
It was not that they, on this night, truly distrusted one another so much as the fact that a lifetime of raiding and war had determined each to be, as a simple matter of course, wary of the other. |
9 |
| 23 | 206 |
Aphris had, according to the woman, fallen into the hands of the Paravaci who had looted Kamchak's wagon; Elizabeth's fate she did not know; I gathered, of course, from the fact that Elizabeth had been sent to another wagon that Kamchak had sold her. |
9 |
| 23 | 208 |
She might, of course, have also fallen, like Aphris, into the hands of the Paravaci. |
9 |
| 24 | 48 |
The clearest exception to this, of course, lay in the case of the more beautiful of the city's women, who were treated by Gorean custom, as portions of the booty. |
9 |
| 24 | 55 |
With the crossbow in our hands, the business of bringing tarns in and out of the compound became proportionately more hazardous, which, of course, was what I intended. |
9 |
| 24 | 58 |
I feared, of course, that this addition to our armament might hasten Saphrar's departure, but, as it turned out, it did not, perhaps because the first word Saphrar had of our intentions was the tumbling of dying tarns behind the walls of the compound. |
9 |
| 24 | 90 |
"But of course you do," he said. |
9 |
| 24 | 96 |
"At that time, of course," said Harold, "our wagons were not painted red, nor filled with booty and rich things, for we were not then commanders". |
9 |
| 25 | 34 |
"They showed me," she said, "but I do not know—I cannot read!" What she said, of course, was true. |
9 |
| 25 | 59 |
The second chain, that which I had first seen, fastened the Sirik itself, of course, to the slave ring, and, indeed, by the left ankle ring, as I had supposed. |
9 |
| 25 | 161 |
She wore the Sirik and was, of course, clad Kajir, clad in the Curla and Chatka, the red cord and the narrow strip of black leather; in the Kalmak, the brief vest, open and sleeveless, of black leather; and in the Koora, the strip of red cloth that bound back her brown hair. |
9 |
| 25 | 177 |
It would not do, of course. |
9 |
| 25 | 201 |
"We shall, of course," Elizabeth was saying, "have to make some different arrangements about the wagon". |
9 |
| 25 | 267 |
"Of course," said Elizabeth, "we could regard it as a division of labor of sorts". |
9 |
| 25 | 476 |
Then she said, "Of course, I am sorry, Master," and dropped her head. |
9 |
| 25 | 521 |
He has stripped her and put her in the collar of a slave!" "Of course," I said. |
9 |
| 25 | 660 |
It would not do, of course, to treat Miss Cardwell as a slave girl. |
9 |
| 25 | 673 |
By the collar, of course, pressing downward I could have forced her to her knees before me, and then, pressing the collar up and back, and against her chin, might force her from her knees helplessly to her back on the rug at my feet. |
9 |
| 26 | 11 |
There were also, in the city, of course, hundreds of kaiila, though the main body of such mounts was outside the city, where game could be driven to them with greater ease. |
9 |
| 26 | 290 |
"Of course," said Kamchak. |
9 |
| 26 | 440 |
"Of course," he said. |
9 |
| 26 | 452 |
"Once you spared my life, and we held grass and earth together, and from that time, even had you been outlaw and knave, I would have died for you, but still, of course, I could not give you the egg. |
9 |
| 26 | 535 |
"He is, of course," observed Harold, "quite handsome". |
9 |
| 27 | 10 |
Additionally, of course, beyond the free women, numerous slaves had fallen into the hands of the warriors, and these, too, were sent to the commanders of Hundreds. |
9 |
| 27 | 12 |
The girls of the Wagon Peoples, of course, who had been enslaved, were freed; the others, however, save for some of Ko-ro-ba on whose behalf I spoke, would change their perfumed silks and their warmed, scented baths for the hardships of the trek, the care of bosk, and the arms of warrior masters. |
9 |
| 27 | 16 |
