10 |
| 26 | 188 |
The color had drained from her face. |
10 |
| 26 | 219 |
She turned to face me there, on her hands and knees. |

10 |
| 26 | 230 |
She stopped pounding on the plastic partition and stared out at me, her face stained with tears, her hands pressed against the plastic. |

10 |
| 28 | 67 |

10 |
| 29 | 83 |
Then it seemed to come under control and turned like a cornered rat to face me. |
10 |

She shook the veil from her face and threw back her head and laughed. |
10 |
| 31 | 213 |
Then to my amazement when the Beetle neared Sarm the Priest-King sank down on his supporting appendages, almost as if he were on his knees, and suddenly plunged his face and antennae into the midst of the waving mane hair of the Golden Beetle. |
10 |
| 31 | 232 |
The swollen, lethargic Beetle turned slowly to face me. |
10 |
| 32 | 51 |
I put my arm about her shoulders, holding her as she wept, her face lifted to the distant blue sky. |
10 |

10 |
| 32 | 314 |
She pulled aside the folds of his robe and I saw her touch his face which seemed filled with tears. |
10 |
| 34 | 3 |
Once again I saw that strong, lined face, that square jaw, that wild, flowing mane of fiery hair so much like my own, that spare, ready frame, those gray eyes, now rimmed with tears. |

There was a firm snap of the heavy lock in the back of the collar and the throat of Aphris of Turia had been encircled with slave steel!

At the request of any warrior of the Wagon Peoples, a judge would remove the pins of the face veil of a Turian girl and push back the hood of her Robes of Concealment, in order that her head and face might be seen. |

I could see he carried a small, round, leather shield, glossy, black, lacquered; he wore a conical, fur-rimmed iron helmet, a net of colored chains depending from the helmet protecting his face, leaving only holes for the eyes. |
10 |
| 2 | 64 |
I could not see his face because of the net of chain that hung before it. |
10 |

He was dressed much as the first man, except that no chain depended from his helmet, but his wind scarf was wrapped about his face. |
10 |
| 2 | 156 |
I stood stock still, seeing the face. |
10 |
| 2 | 159 |
He drew the scarf down, from about his face, and threw back, over his helmet, a mask of dependent chains, and laughed. |
10 |
| 2 | 163 |
He pulled aside the wind scarf with one hand, and his face, though black, bore the same marks as the others. |
10 |
| 2 | 164 |

10 |

10 |
| 2 | 167 |
On the face of each there were, almost like corded chevrons, brightly colored scars. |
10 |
| 2 | 174 |

Anger crossed his face. |
10 |
| 3 | 98 |
The face of the Paravaci, rich with its terrible furrowed scars, contorted with rage. |
10 |
| 3 | 111 |
Then, furiously, the scars wild in his face, he sprang up in the stirrups and lifted both hands to the sky. |
10 |
| 4 | 66 |
I studied his heavy face, the fierce scarring that somehow ennobled it, the dark eyes with the epicanthic fold. |
10 |
| 4 | 75 |
He stared at me, disbelievingly, and then, suddenly, he threw back his head and laughed until tears streamed down his face. |
10 |
| 4 | 77 |
Then he straightened up and wiped his face with the back of his hand. |
10 |
| 5 | 110 |
Kamchak laughed, the colored scars wrinkling on his broad face. |
10 |

Dazed, exhausted, covered with sweat, dust on her face and legs, wine on her body, Elizabeth Cardwell, her wrists thonged behind her and her throat bound to a lance, stood captive before Kamchak of the Tuchuks. |

With him had been a tall, strange man, broad of shoulder with large hands, a grayish face, eyes almost like glass. |
10 |

10 |
| 7 | 129 |

10 |
| 7 | 183 |
Kamchak grinned at Kutaituchik, the scarring on his face wrinkling with pleasure. |
10 |

A small smile touched the broad face of Kutaituchik. |
10 |
| 7 | 199 |
The scarred face wrinkled again and Kamchak rocked back and slapped his knees. |
10 |
| 7 | 253 |
Perhaps in that moment Elizabeth Cardwell recalled the strange man, so fearsome, gray of face with eyes like glass, who had so examined her on Earth, before whom she had stood as though on a block, unknowingly being examined for her fitness to bear the message collar of Turia. |
10 |
| 7 | 264 |
"La Kajira," she said, putting her head down, then covering her face with her manacled hands, weeping. |
10 |

Her face was vital and flushed with excitement. |
10 |

10 |
| 8 | 508 |
He stood up, a smile on his face. |
10 |
| 9 | 57 |
Across his face there were two long scars, perhaps from their delicacy the scars of quiva wounds. |
10 |
| 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. |
10 |
| 9 | 300 |
"Did you truly think," asked Aphris of Turia arrogantly, "that a Tuchuk would be permitted to look upon the face of a free woman of Turia?" Kamchak's fists were clenched on the table, for no Tuchuk likes to be fooled. |
10 |
| 9 | 432 |
"Have you no shame?" The girl attempted to rearrange the folds of the veil, but could only hold it before her face, for Kamchak had ripped away the pins by which it was customarily fastened. |
10 |
| 9 | 434 |
He, a Tuchuk, had looked upon her face. |
10 |
| 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... |

10 |

Elizabeth Cardwell screamed, throwing her hands before her face. |
10 |
| 10 | 231 |
She was standing facing the charging tharlarion, as though rooted to the earth, her hands before her face. |
10 |
| 10 | 324 |
She spun to face him, her fists clenched. |
10 |
| 10 | 354 |
This aspect of the games was extremely humiliating for the Turian girls, but they understood its necessity; few men, especially barbarian warriors, care to fight for a woman on whose face they have not even looked. |
10 |
| 10 | 357 |
"Can you not remember, Sleen," asked the girl, "the face of Aphris of Turia?" "My memory is vague," said Kamchak. |
10 |
| 10 | 363 |
"It's vague," muttered Kamchak, wavering, "I had in mind I think the face of a slave—there was, as I recall, a collar—" "You tharlarion," she said. |
10 |
| 10 | 369 |
I suddenly glimpsed the face of Aphris of Turia contort with rage and she tried to free herself. |
10 |
| 10 | 404 |
I thought that a humane arrangement—that two men must understand who it is they face before entering the circle of sand. |
10 |
| 10 | 560 |
His sword was in front of his face, apparently blocking his vision. |

10 |
| 11 | 23 |
Saphrar's round, pinkish face was beaming with pleasure, though I would have thought this day a tragic one for him. |
10 |

His little round pinkish face shone. |
10 |
| 11 | 168 |
Aphris turned to face him, fists clenched. |
10 |
| 11 | 303 |
Aphris turned again to face Kamchak. |
10 |
| 12 | 284 |
I turned to face Elizabeth. |
10 |
| 12 | 399 |
The girl's face was fixed in the dancer's stylized moan of terror, but she was beautiful. |
10 |
| 14 | 84 |
He turned to face me. |
10 |
| 16 | 205 |
"A man met me," said Saphrar, "a tall man—rather dreadful actually—with a face as gray as stone and eyes like glass". |
10 |
| 16 | 314 |
The matter of the message collar had been a clever way of attempting to gain that end but, because of the shrewdness of Tuchuks, who seldom take anything at its face value, it had failed; they had then attempted to bring me down among the wagons with a Paravaci quiva, but that, too, had failed; I gr... |
10 |

The expression on his face was much the same as that I had seen at the banquet, when he had prepared to eat the small, quivering thing impaled on the colored stick. |
10 |
| 18 | 98 |
I spun to face the Paravaci but he, weaponless, with a curse, turned and fled from the room. |
10 |
| 19 | 108 |
The girl's head flew up and she spun to face him, pulling to free herself. |
10 |
| 19 | 113 |
He permitted her to turn and face him again. |
10 |
| 19 | 159 |
She spun to face him again, tears of rage in her eyes. |
10 |
| 20 | 132 |
Harold turned to face me. |
10 |
| 21 | 8 |
Kamchak had not spoken but sat on his kaiila, his face dark with resolve. |
10 |
| 21 | 34 |
"Is it enough?" He looked at me, but I could read no expression on his face. |
10 |
| 21 | 145 |
She laughed and with an easy motion dropped the veil from her face and shook her head, freeing her hair. |
10 |
| 21 | 210 |
Indeed, I respected his wisdom—withdrawing in the face of a situation in which there was nothing to be gained and, considering the vulnerability of the wagons and bosk to tarnsmen, much to be lost. |
10 |
| 21 | 359 |
The metal net that depended from his helmet had been thrown back and his eyes and face were fearful to behold. |
10 |
| 21 | 361 |
He turned his kaiila to face the city and it reared and he lifted his shield on his left arm and his lance in his right fist. |
10 |
| 23 | 134 |
Harold and I, and those of our men that remained, stood with the wagons, watching the nearing waves of warriors, observing the moment when the chain face guards of the Paravaci helmets were thrown forward, the moment when the lances, like that of a single man, were leveled. |
10 |
| 23 | 176 |
"That is true," granted Hakimba, the yellow and red scars wrinkling into a grin on his lean, black face. |
10 |
| 24 | 177 |
Harold was sitting there calmly on the back of his kaiila, a reproachful look on his face. |
10 |
| 25 | 2 |
Within, a girl, across the wagon, beyond the tiny fire bowl in the center of its floor, standing on the thick rug, near a hanging tharlarion-oil lamp, turned suddenly to face me. |
10 |
| 25 | 12 |
She held her hand before her face. |
10 |
| 25 | 19 |
"Go!" Still she would not remove her hand from before her face. |
10 |
| 25 | 32 |
She dropped her hand from before her face and stood facing the back of the wagon. |
10 |
| 25 | 40 |
"Don't look at me," she cried, bending down, holding her face from the light, then covering it with her hands. |
10 |
| 25 | 52 |
I could hear the chain move as she turned to face me. |
10 |
| 25 | 60 |
Over the hand that shielded the lower part of her face I could see her eyes, and they seemed filled with fear. |
10 |
| 25 | 74 |
She did not speak but stood looking at me, in the yellow sheet, with one hand covering her face. |
10 |
| 25 | 83 |
I gently took her braceleted wrists in my hands and removed them from her face. |
10 |
| 25 | 88 |
I held her lovely head with its soft dark hair in my hands, gazing on her face, her forehead, her dark, soft eyes, with tears, the marvelous, trembling mouth, and set in her fine nose, delicate and lovely, the tiny golden ring. |
10 |
| 25 | 97 |
She lifted her face, stained with tears, to mine. |
10 |
| 25 | 453 |
My face burned. |
10 |
| 25 | 541 |
I could feel her breath on my face. |
10 |
| 25 | 689 |
She looked up at me, a sly smile on her face. |
10 |
| 26 | 81 |
He did not turn to face me, but continued to stare at the compound. |
10 |
| 26 | 91 |
Kamchak's face was impassive. |
10 |
| 26 | 158 |
I heard Harold cry out with delight at the sight of the fellow, and the man turned to face us, a quiva in his hand. |
10 |
| 26 | 196 |
The man turned angrily to face him, but he did not advance, nor hurl his quiva. |
10 |
| 26 | 286 |
I saw the contorted, now-orange, twisted, agonized face. |
10 |
| 26 | 313 |
He knelt down near the fragments, disgust on his face, fingering the stiff, leathery ruptured egg, some of the golden pieces broken from it. |
10 |
| 26 | 320 |
"Look," said Harold, thrusting his hand under my face. |
10 |
| 26 | 540 |
Then I asked, "By the way, as a matter of fact, what did you pay for her?" Kamchak's face was black with rage. |
10 |
| 26 | 549 |
Then a wry glint of amusement sparkled in the Tuchuk's eyes and the furrowed face wrinkled into a sheepish grin. |
10 |
| 26 | 552 |
Kamchak glared at Harold, and then at me, and then he looked down, scratching his ear; then he looked at us again, and all three of us suddenly burst together into laughter, and tears even streamed down Kamchak's face, running here and there amongst the scarred furrows on his cheeks. |
10 |
| 27 | 153 |
It was hard to read his face. |
10 |
| 27 | 197 |
Kamchak's face was inscrutable. |
10 |
| 28 | 48 |
Now, diagonally, like a scarlet chevron coursing the flight of the cheek bones, there blazed on the face of Harold the Tuchuk the Courage Scar. |
