7	109	Always before, in the lighted hut, she had kept that side from me; in the day it had been covered by her tunic; in the night, in the darkness and tumult, I had not noticed it; on the raft it had been concealed in the reeds of the rence plant, with which I had covered her.	10

8	169	My last thought before the sweet darkness of sleep was the remembrance that I was one who had chosen ignominious slavery to the freedom of honorable death, and that I was alone.	10
8	238	A number of others had doubtless been, in the darkness and confusion, thrust overboard.	10
8	249	In the darkness, presumably, they had seized upon it and, either amidst the shouting and the blind fighting, or perhaps afterwards, in a terrifying quiet, the prelude perhaps to yet another putative attack, had climbed over the side and, poling away desperately, had made their escape.	10

2	708	The lower hold would now be in pitch darkness.	10
2	712	They had scurried from the cage, dropping down to the sand, scampering off into the darkness.	10
3	239	She knelt there, in the darkness of the side of the room, in her yellow silk, her hands locked above and behind her head.	10
4	2	She looked at him, in her yellow silk, kneeling in the darkness by the low wall, her hands braceleted above and behind her head.	10
4	191	"Of course!" she said, in the half darkness, squirming in the bracelets and silk.	10
4	202	Her collar, yellow and enameled, shone in the darkness, at her throat.	10
5	271	She was brought in but last night, in the darkness".	10
6	24	We heard, as is not uncommon, the screams of forest panthers within the darkness of the trees.	10
6	382	We remained back from the fire to make it more difficult for the panther girls, were it their intention, to slay us from the darkness with arrows.	10
6	393	From the darkness, beyond the perimeter, there stepped forth a woman, boldly.	10
6	398	Reluctantly Thurnock heaped more wood on the fire, until the interior of the perimeter was well illuminated in the darkness.	10
6	436	I saw something white move in the darkness, stumbling between two panther girls.	10
6	448	There was laughter from girls beyond the perimeter, in the darkness.	10
6	569	I looked into the darkness of the forests.	10
6	897	She, a slave, bound, turned her lips to his, carried from the fire to her chains, in the darkness of the wall, on the other side of the Tesephone.	10
6	914	I looked at the lines of the Tesephone in the darkness.	10
6	998	She had, however, standing there, half concealed in the darkness, begun to sense its meaning.	10
6	1065	By the arm I thrust her, stumbling, to the darkness of the small canvas shelter at the side of the Tesephone.	10
6	1069	I sat then beside her, in the darkness, in the sand, under the canvas.	10
6	1071	As I did so I felt her head turn, and heard her, in the darkness, gasp and sob.	10
7	7	I was not likely to encounter sleen until darkness.	10
7	314	An Ahn before darkness I found the camp.	10
7	398	Rim carried her from the small fire, and moved into the darkness.	10
8	45	One of the most delicate modes of enslavement, and requiring great skill, is to enter the stockade of the panther girls under the cover of darkness and then, one by one, hut by hut, following the sound of their breathing, to take them.	10
8	241	Half-carrying Arn I regained the darkness of the hut.	10
9	465	Suddenly I saw a movement in the darkness, behind the girls.	10
10	238	Then the girls, in coffle, were led away into the darkness, herded by the butts of spears.	10
10	269	She turned about, in fury, her head in the air, and led us through the darkness toward her camp.	10
11	376	"She will think, then," I said, "that she has a chance, perhaps an excellent one, with her lead and the darkness, of escaping".	10
11	862	As I walked into the darkness I heard Verna's helpless cries of joy.	10
11	879	I recalled her in my shelter beside the Tesephone, in the darkness, and in the following day.	10
11	883	Lying in the darkness, wrapped in my blankets, I heard, in the distance, Verna's cries of pleasure.	10
14	213	* * * * On the branch of the tree, high, in the darkness, crouching, I saw the man of Tyros, with his leather glove, reach to the handle of the slave iron, protruding from the brazier.	10
14	301	The coals in the brazier formed a blazing cylinder in the firelit darkness of the circle.	10
15	212	The paga slaves, in the skins of panther girls, in the darkness, would approach one of the guards.	10
15	224	It was only that, in the darkness, they mistook paga slaves in the skins of panthers for their sisters of the forest, at last returning to the band.	10
16	77	I lay behind Mira in the darkness.	10
18	12	He did not see me, among the darkness of the trees.	10
18	74	That way, of course, they may not chew through the binding fiber in the darkness.	10
18	166	In the darkness of the forest, I smiled.	10
18	194	There was a great cheer as, in the falling darkness, the torch thrust down into the oil-soaked wood.	10
18	216	I slipped back, unnoticed, into the darkness.	10
18	271	But, too, they feared the forest, the darkness, the animals.	10
18	288	They fled to the darkness of the trees and began to break and gather wood.	10
18	433	What turbulence there was was remote, seemingly far removed from us, a matter only of clouds silently whipped in distant, unfelt winds, like rivers, invisible in the sky, breaking their banks, hurling and flooding in the night, carrying the intangible debris of darkness before them, soon to extingui...	10
18	447	Gorean galleys do not commonly sail at night, and, often, put into shore during darkness.	10
18	487	Even if he lay to, if he held his ships within ten or more pasangs, he would see our marker, that great blaze in the darkness of the night.	10
18	508	In the darkness I took her, suddenly, by the arms and thrust her rudely up against a tree.	10
18	535	She emerged from the darkness, and fell to her knees in the wet sand before the man in yellow who had leaped from the longboat.	10
19	2	I stood in the darkness, on the beach, clad in the yellow of Tyros.	10
20	32	Twice more I thrust, and then, kicking, broke the fire into a scattering of brands, plunging the stockade into darkness.	10
20	44	He should have changed his position in the darkness.	10
20	45	Did he not know I would come for him? In the darkness, amidst the shouting, I went swiftly to the slave girls, prone and bound, near the rear of the stockade.	10
20	60	The torch fell in the darkness.	10
20	126	A shape leaped from the darkness, tumbling her to the dirt, rolling with her.	10
20	137	The gate was again in darkness.	10
20	158	I breathed heavily, standing at the gate, in the darkness.	10
20	175	Would the blade, suddenly, without warning, from the darkness leap forward to claim them? "Please let us within your circle!" cried Hura.	10
20	178	"Be silent," snapped Sarus, looking about, peering into the darkness.	10
20	219	In the darkness, silently, I prowled the interior of the stockade.	10
20	237	I saw Sheera slip away in the darkness.	10
20	256	Elsewhere two men moaned, somewhere in the darkness.	10
20	288	"He who held this bow," said Verna, "lies now wounded in the darkness, struck by one of his own fellows.	10
21	139	"They flee!" Hura and her women, and Mira, too, who had, surreptitiously, the attention of those within the stockade being distracted, been nearing the gate of the stockade, suddenly had broken into flight, like a bevy of tabuk, rushing into the darkness.	10
21	141	But scarcely had the peasant giant cried out than, from the darkness about the stockade, and toward the forest, we heard the surprised cries, and screams, of startled, unexpectedly caught females.	10
21	186	I looked at one of the men of Marlenus, who had come in from the darkness.	10
21	189	"If there were two others, they must have slipped past us, or eluded us, in the darkness".	10
21	191	"Find her!" His men fled into the darkness.	10
21	196	The two women had slipped away, successfully, in the darkness.	10
21	220	The beacon of Sarus was now only reddish stones of wood, like the eyes of beasts, looming in the darkness, lying on the sand.	10
22	112	What had seemed a dim sun, a flame in darkness, became a ship's lantern, swinging on its iron ring.	10
22	164	Within the Ahn Sheera had taken Mira, and, in the darkness, bent over, hand in her hair, she had returned Mira to my men.	10
22	744	I wondered if, at times, she would lie in the darkness, clutching the ring of Marlenus, and twist, and weep.	10
22	746	Yet in the darkness, as she lay on the leaves in her lair, in her ears would glint the gold of earrings.	10

1	136	I was rich! I gazed into the darkness of the hall.	10
1	141	Was honor not a sham, a fraud, an invention of clever men to manipulate their less wily brethren?

2	1140	In the glade, in the darkness, among the trees, so much his, I had almost compromised my identity and integrity! I, a girl of Earth, had wanted to yield to him, a harsh barbarian! Was I not a free individual, a person? Had I no pride? How furious I was with myself.	10
