5 142 They would surely have tried, at least in the beginning, to work through local traders or, say, Dust Legs themselves.
Details
10
5 154 There had been no slave wagons in the lines, nor, chained in throat coffle, trudging in the dust behind the supply wagons, any slave girls.

10
8 950 Too, it saves on tunics or such, which, in the wind and rain, and heat and dust, might be ruined or soiled in the march.

10 1 I See Dust Behind Us "You are aware, are you not," I asked Grunt, "that we are being followed?" "Yes," he said.
Details
10
10 5 "Are we not yet in the country of the Dust Legs?" I inquired.
Details
10
10 7 Most trading was done with Dust Legs.
Details
10
10 12 Although small trading groups were welcomed in the country of the Dust Legs, such groups seldom penetrated the more interior territories.
Details
10
10 19 "They are not Dust Legs," he said.
Details
10
10 22 We observed the dust in the distance, some pasangs across the prairie.
Details
10
10 26 "Observe the dust," he said.
Details
10
10 29 "Accordingly," said Grunt, "you conjecture that the dust is raised by the paws of running kaiila".
Details
10
10 39 "You can detect that dust," he said.
Details
10
10 52 This arrangement not only obscures their numbers but lowers and narrows the dust line".
Details
10
10 56 "Observe the front of dust.
Details
10
10 116 I looked back at the approaching dust.
Details
10
12 11 "It is clean work," said Grunt, "the work of Dust Legs".
Details
10
12 36 "This is the work of Dust Legs".
Details
10
12 93 "It is a present to me, from my friends, the Dust Legs," laughed Grunt, "the leaders of those who followed us".
Details
10
12 129 "Thus do the Dust Legs demean you," said Grunt, "treating you as no more than women".
Details
10
12 149 "I do not suppose the Dust Legs would object," I said.
Details
10
14 1 It is a Good Trading; Pimples; I Learn Something of the Waniyanpi; Corn Stalks; Sign; Grunt and I Will Proceed East The red-haired girl cried out in pain and fear, struck from her knees back in the grass by the plump, scornful woman of the red savages, a sturdy-legged matron of the Dust Legs.
Details
10
14 4 "Wowiyutanye!" hissed the Dust-Leg woman at the frightened girl lying on her side in the grass before her.
Details
10
14 8 The Dust-Leg woman threw the girl to her right side in the grass and pulled up the tunic on her left thigh.
Details
10
14 10 "Inahan!" called the Dust-Leg woman to the others about, pointing to the brand on the girl's thigh.
Details
10
14 20 The Dust-Leg woman turned away from her and came over to where I sat behind the blanket.
Details
10
14 22 The Dust Legs, on the whole, are an affable, open-hearted and generous people.
Details
10
14 39 I do not think that she had personally offended the Dust-Leg woman.
Details
10
14 40 I think it was rather that the Dust-Leg woman simply did not entertain any great affection for white female slaves.
Details
10
14 42 The Dust-Leg woman carefully examined the small mirror.
Details
10
14 43 I looked beyond her, to a few yards away, where several kaiila, of the visiting Dust Legs, were tethered.
Details
10
14 44 There, with the animals, there knelt a white female slave of the Dust Legs, another of their animals, a two-legged one, and lovely legs they were indeed, doubtless by the paws of her master's beast.
Details
10
14 46 She was wet with sweat and dark with dust.
Details
10
14 48 Her legs, bloodied and muchly scratched, were black with dust and sweat.
Details
10
14 49 Here and there one could see where the trickle of perspiration had run through the dust.
Details
10
14 50 On her thighs where she had rubbed her hands the dust was streaked in wet smears.
Details
10
14 52 Grunt was engaged in conversation with four or five of the Dust-Leg men.
Details
10
14 54 The female slave of the Dust Legs, kneeling by the kaiila, wore a beaded collar, about an inch and a half in height.
Details
10
14 70 "Two," said the Dust-Leg woman, in Gorean, holding up two fingers.
Details
10
14 76 "Five," I suggested to the Dust-Leg woman.
Details
10
14 78 I smiled when I made this suggestion to the Dust-Leg woman.
Details
10
14 87 These, at any rate, were the sentiments of Grunt, who seemed popular with the Dust Legs, and, as far as I can tell, they are substantially sound.
Details
10
14 88 I glanced again to the white female slave of the Dust Legs, kneeling, eyes down, in her beaded collar, by the kaiila.
Details
10
14 90 It was easy to see why Dust-Leg men might find such goods of interest.
Details
10
14 92 I could also see why Dust-Leg women could view such a commodity with distaste and contempt.
Details
10
14 93 How could they, free, begin to compete with a slave? How could they even begin to do so, unless they, themselves, also became slaves? "Two," said the Dust-Leg woman.
Details
10
14 100 One of the Dust-Leg men was examining, with great care, the hatchet which Grunt had shown him.
Details
10
14 107 He then began to pass out, to the Dust-Leg men and women about, pieces of candy, lumps of cake sugar and flakes of dried molasses.
Details
10
14 124 "Two," said the Dust-Leg woman to me.
Details
10
14 150 "Four," I said to the Dust-Leg woman.
Details
10
14 153 "Winyela," said the Dust-Leg woman, in disgust, glancing behind me to the red-haired girl.
Details
10
14 157 "Winyela," said the Dust-Leg woman, and spat into the grass.
Details
10
14 158 A few yards away, near the kaiila, the white slave girl of the Dust Legs kept her head down, not daring to raise it.
Details
10
14 191 He then looked to the Dust Legs.
Details
10
14 197 The Dust Leg then, with a rawhide thong, stepped into the ring in the grass.
Details
10
14 244 He was speaking to her in Dust Leg, slowly and clearly.
Details
10
14 249 I, myself, though I had acquired a few words of Dust Leg, had little more idea, specifically, of what the youth was saying than the girl did.
Details
10
14 262 "Winyela," said the Dust-Leg woman, scornfully.
Details
10
14 284 "Winyela," snorted the Dust-Leg woman, contemptuously.
Details
10
14 303 I glanced to where the kaiila of the Dust Legs were located.
Details
10
14 314 Certainly the Dust Legs who, like most red savages, are an inquisitive, observant folk, would be curious as to the precise nature of the goods which lay beneath that robe.
Details
10
14 393 I then went over to the kailiauk hide where one of the Dust Legs was standing.
Details
10
14 396 "Hou," I said to the Dust Leg.
Details
10
14 398 "Ieska!" called one of the Dust Legs, rising to his feet, from where the men had been sitting.
Details
10
14 437 The Dust Legs had traded for the girls, not their tunics.
Details
10
14 453 Too, its cut, fringing, and beading doubtless identified it as Dust Leg.
Details
10
14 454 To be sure, most of the tribes had no particular animus toward the Dust Legs, other than, perhaps, to look down upon them somewhat because of their trading, and their relationships with white men.
Details
10
14 460 The Dust Leg requested that the kailiauk hide be thrown aside.
Details
10
14 469 One or two of the other Dust Legs now came over to where lay the kailiauk hide, concealing Margaret, the stripped English girl.
Details
10
14 470 The first Dust Leg was now showing signs of impatience.
Details
10
14 474 The Dust Leg doubtless realized this.
Details
10
14 479 Suddenly the Dust Leg, Grunt speaking to him, broke out in laughter.
Details
10
14 481 The Dust Leg, if interested, was to bid, sight unseen, on what lay beneath the kailiauk hide.
Details
10
14 483 The matter now put in a clearer light, the Dust Leg, and his fellows, were delighted.
Details
10
14 494 What was going on, further, could not be clearly understood unless it is understood that the Dust Legs knew and respected, and liked, Grunt.
Details
10
14 496 Theoretically, one supposes, a high bid might be made on what lay concealed beneath the hide and then the hide, the bid accepted, might be withdrawn to reveal a wench as ugly as a tharlarion, but the Dust Legs knew, in the practical context, that Grunt would not do this to them.
Details
10
14 499 The Dust Leg refused, with great drama, to go higher than two hides for what lay beneath the hide.
Details
10
14 505 The two friends of the Dust Leg shouted out with pleasure and, striking him about the shoulders and back, congratulated him on his good fortune.
Details
10
14 507 The Dust Leg, more than pleased, tried to get Grunt to accept at least one extra hide for the girl, but this, of course, Grunt magnanimously refused to do.
Details
10
14 509 He was, after all, was he not, a merchant? Margaret was jerked to her knees and the Dust Leg tied his beaded collar on her throat.
Details
10
14 513 We watched the Dust Legs mounting up now, most of them, both men and women, preparing to take their leave.
Details
10
14 522 We watched the Dust Legs moving away, across the grasses.
Details
10
14 538 This was the last trading point in the territory of the Dust Legs.
Details
10
14 539 It did not seem to me likely that more Dust Legs were to be expected, certainly not for some time.
Details
10
14 550 "She speaks Dust Leg," he said.
Details
10
14 588 Most of the dust and blood, the grime, the dirt and sweat, had been washed away.
Details
10
14 593 "Master does not speak Dust Leg or Kaiila?" she asked.
Details
10
14 673 "What was your name among the Dust Legs?" I asked.
Details
10
14 901 Although the Fleer speak a language clearly akin to Kaiila and Dust Leg there had often been strife among them.
Details
10
14 903 If the Dust Legs knew of his presence in their country they had not chosen to do anything about it, perhaps in deference to Grunt.
Details
10
14 935 "I should like to learn some Dust Leg," I said.
Details
10
14 937 "If I learn some Dust Leg, I should be able, to some extent, to communicate with Kaiila," I said.
Details
10
14 946 "To learn sign," he said, "would probably be more useful to you, all things considered, than learning a smattering of Dust Leg".
Details
10
14 948 "To be sure," he said, "it would be wise for you to learn some Dust Leg or Kaiila.
Details
10
14 951 "Why are they called Dust Legs?" I asked.
Details
10
14 959 "I would like to learn something of Dust Leg and Kaiila, and also sign," I said.
Details
10
14 991 "You have seen Dust Legs make that sign," he said.
Details
10
14 1183 I thought, too, briefly, of the red-savage youth, Urt, the red slave, supposedly a Dust Leg, who had been with the soldiers.
Details
10
14 1260 "Last fall," he said, "I obtained it from Dust Legs.
Details
10
14 1315 "I obtained it from Dust Legs, who obtained it from Kaiila," he said.
Details
10
15 18 Other common signaling methods, incidentally, involve such things as the use of dust cast into the air, the movement of robes and the motions imparted to a kaiila.
Details
10
15 36 Dust swept about the paws and legs of the beast.
Details
10
15 61 Greetings, my friend,' in Dust Leg.
Details
10
15 78 This is the word in both Dust Leg and Kaiila for a trader, or merchant.
Details
10
15 197 In Dust Leg, incidentally, the expression has the same meaning.
Details
10
16 413 "A boy, a Dust Leg, I think," said Pumpkin.
Details
10
17 153 "Are they men?" "They are called Waniyanpi," I said, "which in Dust Leg and Kaiila means 'tame cattle.
Details
10
17 294 The paws of the beast were filthy; what had they to do with me; the long hair was coarse and matted; the paws, with their nails, were covered with dust and dirt, and were crusted over with mud.
Details
10
17 316 I cleaned them of dust and dirt, and filth, and all, dutifully, frightened, with my lips, my tongue, and teeth, even the nails".
Details
10
18 13 "He is Dust Leg," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 17 "I have spoken Dust Leg to him, and Kaiila, and some Fleer," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 161 I did not think that Dust Legs, from whom he had been purchased by whites, near the Ihanke, would have sold one of their own tribe into slavery.
Details
10
18 211 "The Dust Legs called me 'Nitoske'".
Details
10
19 143 Grunt, at this point, in an excited medley of Dust Leg, Kaiila and Gorean, distraught and angry, entered again into remonstrance with the young warrior.
Details
10
19 328 I could speak only a smattering of Dust Leg and Kaiila.
Details
10
19 366 We then bound him in his woman's dress and sold him to the Dust Legs".
Details
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.
Details
10
19 594 We had some from the Dust Legs.

7 821 For example, although the Dust Legs and the Fleer are enemies, as are the Kaiila and the Fleer, the Dust Legs have dealings with the Sleen, and the Sleen, in turn, trade with tribes such as the Yellow Knives and the Fleer.

44 350 "But even now I tricked you," she said, "by distracting you from seeing the approaching dust, by pretending to sexual need!" "The dust," I said, "was visible long before you noticed it, before you initiated your clever, diversionary stratagem".

1 44 "That is dust, in the wind," said Cuwignaka.

1 84 Grit and dust settled about us.

10
1 151 Hci reined in his kaiila, squealing, kicking dust, before us.

10
1 178 This band, outside of the Kaiila, is often known as the Mazahuhu band, which is the Dust-Leg word for bracelets.

10
1 244 The second time Cuwignaka had refused to go on the warpath he had been bound in his dress and traded to Dust Legs, from whom, eventually, he was purchased as a slave by whites, in the vicinity of the Ihanke, the border between the lands of farmers and ranchers and the lands of the red savages.
Details
10
1 258 He had also acquired two prisoners, two former enemies of his, Max and Kyle Hobart, in effect as gifts from Dust Legs.
Details
10
1 267 Grunt's last slave, the dark-haired beauty, Wasnapohdi, or Pimples, whom he had acquired in trade for three hatchets from Dust Legs, he was permitted to keep.
Details
10
1 333 In another way, Grunt's familiarity to the Kaiila, for he had visited them last year, and was close to Mahpiyasapa, Black Clouds, the civil chieftain of the Isbu, and his knowledge of their language, which closely resembles Dust Leg, garnered him a similar protection.
Details
10
1 337 This pleased the Kaiila, as it also did the Dust Legs and the Fleer.
Details
10
1 375 The dust from the paws of the kaiila was in my mouth.
Details
10
1 469 I could no longer see Hci now, in the dust from the kailiauk.
Details
10
3 180 One of the men, behind her, had thrown dust upon her.
Details
10
3 181 "Oh!" she sobbed, as two men, rather in front of her, one on each side, tossed, each, a double handful of dust upon her.
Details
10
3 182 She closed her eyes, blinking against the grit of the dust.
Details
10
3 216 There was dust upon her hair and on her body.

4 393 Dust lifted about the paws of their kaiila.

4 394 Then came the women, with the kaiila and travois, the poles leaving lines in the dust, and with them, joining them, came Cuwignaka and myself.
Details
10
5 160 I doubted that this was true, from the tremors in the earth, the dust and the direction of the tracks.

10
5 222 Sometimes they will even paw down earth from the upper sides of washouts and then use the harder, exposed material beneath, dust scattering about, as a polishing surface.

6 26 The draw was now filled with dust.
Details
10
6 57 Here and there I could see pieces of meat, trodden into the dust.
Details
10
6 66 The carcass itself, most of it, had been moved several feet and flattened, and lay half sunk in the dust of the draw.
Details
10
7 3 Swiftly she fell to her knees, and put her red hair to the dust.

10
7 66 Winyela squirmed angrily, on her knees in the dust, her small wrists bound tightly before her.
Details
10
7 585 Surely you examined the dust for the print of moccasins?" Different tribes have, usually, slightly different moccasin patterns, resulting in subtly different prints.
Details
10
7 817 The Dust Legs, too, with whom we trade, know of you".

10
7 820 The Dust Legs, for example, who do a great deal of trading, have dealings with several tribes which, in their turn, have dealings with others.

8 46 He had had good relations, for example, with the Dust Legs, the Kaiila and the Fleer.
Details
10
12 42 I could see the dust it raised.
Details
10
12 327 I sent my men to nearby trading points, opened by the Dust Legs to any white traders.
Details
10
12 331 At the same time I felt myself seized from behind by red savages, Dust Legs.

12 337 One of the Dust Legs showed it to me, and then pointed to it, and then to me, and then threw it on the porch of the trading post.

12 344 "The Dust Legs traded me to the Sleen," she said, "and the Sleen traded me to the Yellow Knives".

12 349 "The Dust Legs," I said, "apparently originally conjectured that you would be worth a hide.

18 31 Long ago, at a Dust-Leg trading point, Grunt had obtained Wasnapohdi for three fine hatchets.

19 45 A woman once of the high city of Ar, she had been captured by Dust Legs and suitably enslaved.

21 1 Yellow Knives One of the Sleen Soldiers, rising to his feet, spun awkwardly, kicking dust, the arrow having entered through the chest, its point protruding above his left hip.
Details
10
21 6 We could scarcely see for dust.
Details
10
21 35 He struck the ground, rolling, scattering dust.
Details
10
22 3 The rider on the kaiila, bent low, his lance in the attack position, charged, dust scattering back from the pounding paws of the kaiila.
Details
10
22 262 Inside, in several places, the dust was bloodstained.
Details
10
22 263 In places, marked by successions of linear stains, and marks in the dust, bodies had apparently been dragged from the lodge.
Details
10
24 2 The Yellow Knife behind them, the arrow in his chest, slipped back, awkwardly, turned, and fell heavily into the dust.
Details
10
24 15 The kaiila stopped almost short, in a scattering of dust, jerked back on its haunches and wheeled about.
Details
10
24 22 The kaiila again spun about, scratching, snorting, with an explosion of dust.
Details
10
24 31 I heard the two shafts crack together, Cuwignaka fending the driving point away, and then, to my dismay, I heard a swift, striking sound, and saw Cuwignaka struck from the side of the kaiila, and reeling and staggering backwards, then sprawling, his legs loose under him, to the dust, struck by the p...
Details
10
24 40 Cuwignaka hurled himself headlong under the paws of the kaiila and the lance thrust down, driving into the dust.
Details
10
24 42 Cuwignaka desperately seized it and it, braced under the Yellow Knife's arm, lifted, pulling him to his feet, skidding and half dragged in the dust.
Details
10
24 58 They plunged to the dust.
Details
10
25 153 Their long tethers dangled from their necks to the dust.
Details
10
25 157 Quickly they fell to their knees, putting their heads to the dust.
Details
10
25 163 The other slaves lifted their heads, remaining on their knees, bound, in the dust.

10
26 1 Once More to Tread Disputed, Bloody Dust "Well done!" I called to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
26 124 It was wet and muddy, from her saliva and from the dust, in which it had been thrust, point down, to the binding, from which I had retrieved it.
Details
10
26 147 We then wheeled our kaiila about, once more to tread disputed, bloody dust.
Details
10
27 20 Many of the animals were covered with dust to the belly.
Details
10
27 73 Dust, like powder, billowed twisting into the air.
Details
10
27 76 The kaiila under us turned, startled, scratching at the dust.
Details
10
28 300 I saw a woman, running, caught in the back with a lance, between the shoulder blades, flung to the dust, the lance then withdrawn.
Details
10
28 321 "Fight! Defend the camp!" The lines spun about and the men of Mahpiyasapa, whooping and crying out, dust scattering, sped back under the ropes and between the lodges to engage this new enemy.
Details
10
29 51 I saw Cuwignaka rolling in the dust, his kaiila gone.
Details
10
29 57 Cuwignaka, a knife run with blood in his hand, blood on his hand and wrist, too, stood in the dust.
Details
10
29 65 Then great wings smote the air above us, the air tearing at our clothes, raising dust in affrighted clouds on the field.
Details
10
29 67 "I am going to find Grunt!" I cried, through the dust.
Details
10
29 69 I saw two women running wildly through the dust.
Details
10
30 171 Dust swirled up from the ground.
Details
10
30 174 I wiped dust from my eyes.
Details
10
32 65 "Perhaps like Dust Legs," said Cuwignaka, "traders, diplomats, interpreters, serving the needs of others, not as Ubars of the plains, as masters of the grasslands in their own right".
Details
10
32 157 He, laughed, hurled the red slave away from him, a dozen feet away, into the dust.
Details
10
32 165 She lay in the dust, her hands over her head, her knees drawn tightly up, small, shuddering and trembling, helpless under the points.
Details
10
37 277 Some slave wine, I am told, is available in trade, usually through the Dust Legs.
Details
10
39 296 We closed our eyes, briefly, against the storm of wind and dust which temporarily assaulted us.
Details
10
40 202 She kissed the dust before him, humbly.
Details
10
40 203 He spoke again and she straightened up and then again lowered her head to the dust before him.
Details
10
40 564 "Put your head to the dust," he said.
Details
10
40 927 Her body was then like a bow, her head down on one side, in the dust, and her heels on the other side.
Details
10
42 141 "We will send riders to the Dust Legs, the Fleer and the Sleen".
Details
10
43 341 Dust, from the paws of the kaiila, was billowing behind me.
Details
10
43 359 For example, if the two sacks were to be dragged in the dust behind tharlarion then it might be the case that the free woman, for her greater comfort, would be enclosed completely in the leather confinement and the slave would be bound only from the neck down, this once again, and again to the detri...
Details
10
43 370 I turned the kaiila in a wide circle at the end of the promenade, the bags, like swift, twin plows, taut on their ropes, throwing up two trails of dust.
Details
10
43 374 The bags and ropes were covered with dust.
Details
10
43 383 By the tension on the rope attached to the handles of her sack Iwoso was then jerked backwards and again, almost horizontal, was being dragged behind me in the dust.
Details
10
43 396 I permitted Iwoso, for a few moments more, to sit there behind me in the dust, tied in her sack, crying out.
Details
10
43 405 A Yellow-Knife warrior lunged wildly for the sack but fell short, sprawling in the dust.
