Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
18 231 "And I laughed," said Flaminius, "and I realized that what moves men is greed, and pleasure, and power and gold, and that I, Flaminius, who had sought fruitlessly in my life to slay one disease, was a fool".
Details
10
4 216 "The Physician Flaminius conducted the test," reported Caprus.
Details
10
11 48 "Greetings, Flaminius," said Ho-Tu.
Details
10
11 49 "May I introduce Kuurus, of the black caste, but of our employ?" Coldly Flaminius nodded his head, and I did the same.
Details
10
11 65 "These next two," said Flaminius, indicating two cages separated by a cage from the last, "refuse to eat".
Details
10
11 86 "We permit them," said Flaminius, deigning to offer a bit of explanation, "five Ahn of varied responses, depending on when they recover from the frobicain injection.
Details
10
11 100 "Of course not," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 103 "Surprisingly," said Flaminius, "no".
Details
10
11 108 Flaminius laughed.
Details
10
11 112 "They do not speak Gorean?" "There is no girl here," said Flaminius, "for whom there is not at least one member of our staff who can speak their language".
Details
10
11 114 "Surely," said Flaminius, "you do not think we lack men who are familiar with the world from which these slaves have been brought.
Details
10
11 117 "I myself," said Flaminius, "have visited their world and speak one of its languages".
Details
10
11 126 "The guard," said Flaminius, "liked her.
Details
10
11 140 "This one," said Flaminius, "started to go into shock.
Details
10
11 145 "Sometimes," said Flaminius, "shock cannot be so easily prevented.
Details
10
11 150 "Yes," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 152 "Six," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 154 "Yes," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 161 Flaminius turned to us.
Details
10
11 164 "Slaves," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 172 "Please! Please!" Flaminius stood back, expressionlessly accepting their supplications.
Details
10
11 175 "You are slaves," said Flaminius, again in English.
Details
10
11 181 Flaminius turned to Ho-Tu and the rest of us.
Details
10
11 185 Flaminius turned to us again.
Details
10
11 191 "All of you are mad!" "What is your name?" asked Flaminius of the first girl.
Details
10
11 194 "I demand that you release us! I demand an explanation! Get us out of here immediately! Hurry! Hurry, I tell you!" Flaminius paid the second girl no attention.
Details
10
11 197 "Eat," said Flaminius, kindly.
Details
10
11 201 "Now drink," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 205 "What is your name?" asked Flaminius of the second girl, very gently.
Details
10
11 208 "What is your name?" repeated Flaminius.
Details
10
11 210 "Eat your gruel, Phyllis," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 213 Flaminius gestured to the guard and he, with his club, suddenly struck the bars in front of Phyllis Robertson's face and she screamed and darted back in the cage, where she crouched away from the bars, tears in her eyes.
Details
10
11 214 "Eat your gruel," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 216 "No!" "Does Phyllis remember the lash?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
11 219 "Then say so," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 224 "Phyllis remembers the lash," corrected Flaminius.
Details
10
11 226 "You are a slave," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 228 "No!" "I see," said Flaminius, sadly, "it will be necessary to beat you".
Details
10
11 230 "Excellent," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 240 "Excellent," commended Flaminius.
Details
10
11 244 "As you probably have suspected, noting the difference in gravitational field," said Flaminius, "this is not Earth".
Details
10
11 249 Flaminius smiled.
Details
10
11 252 "It is an invention!" "This is Gor," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 255 Flaminius laughed.
Details
10
11 258 Flaminius smiled.
Details
10
11 261 "There will be no more such stories," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 264 Flaminius indicated me.
Details
10
11 267 "Of course," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 269 "He is of the Caste of Assassins," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 274 "Strong men," said Flaminius, "have always, even in the course of your own planet's history, taken the females of weaker men for their slaves".
Details
10
11 276 "You are the females of weaker men," said Flaminius, "the men of Earth".
Details
10
11 288 "Virginia," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 291 "Does it not seem natural?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
11 293 "You are upset," said Flaminius, "because you deemed yourself superior.
Details
10
11 299 Flaminius turned to Phyllis.
Details
10
11 302 "It is the anklet of a slave," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 311 "Have you not noticed," asked Flaminius, "the men of this world? Do they seem like those of Earth to you?" He pointed to the guard, who was a tall, strong fellow, rather hard-looking.
Details
10
11 313 "What in all your femaleness do you sense of the men of this world?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
11 315 "Unlike those of Earth?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
11 317 "They are true men, are they not?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
11 320 I suspected that these differences clearly existed, but I would not, as Flaminius seemed to wish, have interpreted these differences as suggesting an inferiority of Earth stock.
Details
10
11 327 "In the presence of such a man," said Flaminius, indicating the guard, "how do you sense yourself?" "Female," she said, looking down and away.
Details
10
11 328 Flaminius put his hand through the bars, his fingers gently touching her chin and throat as she looked away.
Details
10
11 331 "You wear on your left ankle," said Flaminius, "a locked band of steel".
Details
10
11 334 "What is it?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
11 344 Flaminius laughed.
Details
10
11 346 "You beast!" Flaminius suddenly reached into the cage and, taking the girl by the wrists, jerked her against the bars, painfully so, holding her at arm's length cruelly against them.
Details
10
11 348 "From the time you were first anesthetized and hooded," said Flaminius, "you had but one purpose in life—to give pleasure to men".
Details
10
11 350 "Bracelets," said Flaminius, in Gorean, to the guard, who produced a set of bracelets.
Details
10
11 351 Flaminius then locked one on the girl's right wrist and then, her arms through the bars, bent her arms back, put the other bracelet around one of the bars in the gate, above the horizontal bar at the top of the gate, and, on the outside of the gate, about her other wrist, the left, snapped shut the ...
Details
10
11 353 "It would be pleasant to tame you," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 357 "You will be trained as a slave girl," said Flaminius, "you will be taught to kneel, to stand, to walk, to dance, to sing, to serve the thousand pleasures of men".
Details
10
11 361 Flaminius then looked into Virginia's eyes.
Details
10
11 364 "Will you train?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
11 367 "Will you train?" asked Flaminius of the girl Phyllis, braceleted against the bars.
Details
10
11 369 "Then you will die," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 371 "Will you train?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
11 373 "Good," said Flaminius.
Details
10
11 377 "Yes," she said, weeping, "—Master!" Flaminius then stood up and faced us.
Details
10
11 384 "It is impossible to tell," said Flaminius, "but my prognosis is that each, in her own way, will do quite well in training.
Details
10
11 390 "That is true," said Flaminius, "and doubtless they will always be barbarians—but that quality, for some buyers, may exercise its own fascination".
Details
10
11 392 Flaminius smiled.
Details
10
11 396 "If there is a demand for such girls," said Flaminius, "our house will profit handsomely indeed".
Details
10
11 399 Flaminius shrugged.
Details
10
11 404 "I promise you, Ho-Tu," Flaminius was saying, "that each of these girls, properly trained, will provide a master with the most exquisite of delights".
Details
10
11 406 I suspected that what Flaminius said was true.
Details
10
12 169 This had to do with certain decisions of Flaminius and Ho-Tu, and the two girls Virginia and Phyllis.
Details
10
12 173 For about fifteen days Virginia and Phyllis, while the other captive Earth girls had been removed to an iron pen, remained in the tiny cement, iron-gated cages, so constructed that the inmate cannot at any one time fully stretch her body; over a period of time this builds up a considerable amount of...
Details
10
12 179 Flaminius would not visit them.
Details
10
12 182 At last Flaminius visited them, informing them that they were not to be trained, and left.
Details
10
12 184 The next day Flaminius reentered the chamber, but apparently only to pick up some records which he had left behind the day before.
Details
10
12 186 Flaminius, apparently moved by their entreaties, told them he would speak to Cernus, master of the house, and to Ho-Tu, Master Keeper.
Details
10
12 188 Flaminius then accepted their tearful gratitude for his intercession on their behalf.
Details
10
12 193 The guard braceleted one of Phyllis' wrists to the rail and then snapped bracelets on Virginia, confining her wrists behind her back; he carried Virginia down to the main level and set her on her knees there, before Flaminius and Ho-Tu; Elizabeth and I were in the background; then the guard went bac...
Details
10
12 197 She said nothing but stood there, wrists braceleted behind her back, locked in place, watching the approach of the iron, observing the graceful, white-hot character at the iron's termination; she screamed uncontrollably when the iron marked her, firmly, decisively for about three Ihn; and then she s...
Details
10
12 208 Flaminius, gently, stretched out their legs, and rubbed them.
Details
10
12 221 Flaminius rose to his feet, leaving the two girls lying on the stones, sobbing.
Details
10
12 223 "Kneel," said Flaminius to them, in English.
Details
10
12 243 "Do what you can," said Flaminius.
Details
10
12 247 Flaminius looked down, angry.
Details
10
12 258 "Do what you can," said Flaminius.
Details
10
12 264 "Sura," said Flaminius.
Details
10
12 269 "But," protested Flaminius.
Details
10
12 272 "No one could do anything with such barbarians," said Ho-Tu to Flaminius.
Details
10
12 275 I saw Ho-Tu grimace at Flaminius.
Details
10
12 284 "Besides," said Flaminius to Ho-Tu, "even Tethrite of the House of Portus could not train such barbarians".
Details
10
12 304 Flaminius gestured that the two girls should try to rise and walk a bit about the room.
Details
10
12 312 "If your training goes well," said Flaminius to the girls, "you will in time be given a pretty collar".
Details
10
12 314 "It will even have a lock," said Flaminius.
Details
10
12 316 "You would like a pretty collar, wouldn't you?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
12 318 "And what of you, Phyllis?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
12 321 "Of course," said Flaminius, backing away a step, bowing his head.
Details
10
12 334 "You will do splendidly," said Flaminius warmly.
Details
10
12 338 "I will send one who speaks their tongue," said Flaminius.
Details
10
12 340 "Translate for me," said Sura, to Flaminius, as she turned and faced the three kneeling girls.
Details
10
12 341 She then spoke to them in short sentences, pausing for Flaminius to translate.
Details
10
12 353 Flaminius translated this, as well.
Details
10
12 364 Flaminius translated.
Details
10
12 365 Then Sura turned to Flaminius.
Details
10
15 182 In the third week, the education became somewhat more subtle and Flaminius visited the girls for their training hours, and discussed, with ingenious subtlety, first in English and then in Gorean, certain views of history, of natural right, of orders of human beings and of relations among the sexes.
Details
10
15 185 Flaminius, for a time, accepted and encouraged counter-arguments, patiently, as though waiting for the girls, when their simple minds permitted it, to understand the truth of what he said.
Details
10
15 186 Phyllis, I learned from Elizabeth, was particularly wrathful, when permitted to be so, with Flaminius.
Details
10
15 191 Elizabeth would sometimes, in these weeks, come back to the compartment and relate, with amusement, the subtle exchanges between Phyllis and Flaminius.
Details
10
15 192 In her opinion, and perhaps rightly, the positions of both were subtle combinations of truths and half-truths; Phyllis seemed to regard men and women as unimportant differentiations off a sexless, neuter stock, whereas Flaminius argued for a position in which women were hardly to be recognized as be...
Details
10
15 193 I expect both, and I am certain that Flaminius, recognized the errors and exaggerations of their own position, but neither was concerned with the truth; both were concerned only with victory, and pleasing themselves.
Details
10
15 194 At any rate, to my satisfaction, but Elizabeth's irritation, Flaminius commonly had the best of these exchanges, producing incredibly subtle, complex arguments, quoting supposedly objectively conducted studies by the Caste of Physicians, statistics, the results of tests, and what not.
Details
10
15 196 Flaminius, of course, was practiced and skillful in what he was doing, and Phyllis was not difficult to catch and tangle in his well-woven nets of logic and supposed fact.
Details
10
15 197 During this time Virginia would usually remain silent, but she would occasionally volunteer a fact, a precedent or event which would support Flaminius' position, much to the anger of Phyllis.
Details
10
15 198 Elizabeth chose, wisely, not to debate with Flaminius.
Details
10
15 201 Following some two weeks of these discussions, which seemed to me at the time, at any rate, to be a waste of training time, Virginia Kent, who had feared men, had come to weigh seriously, if not to accept, certain of the theories of Flaminius, Phyllis to fight them and reject them as hateful slander...
Details
10
15 202 All three girls, in the last week, were taught certain standard answers to certain standard questions put to them by Flaminius, whether they agreed with them or not.
Details
10
15 212 The truly sinister aspect of even this portion of the girls' training did not become evident to me, or to Elizabeth, until the entire next week was spent again before the mirror, seeing themselves as slave girls, and repeating, aloud, these questions and answers, as though putting them to themselves...
Details
10
15 216 During the next weeks and months the lessons of Flaminius were never again touched upon, except occasionally, for her amusement, by Sura, who would suddenly cry to one of the girls, at the same time brandishing the slave goad, such a query as "What do you want more than anything?" to which the girl,...
Details
10
18 126 * * * * I found Flaminius, the Physician, in his quarters, and he, obligingly, though drunk, treated the arm which Ho-Tu had slashed with the hook knife.
Details
10
18 128 "The games of Kajuralia can be dangerous," remarked Flaminius, swiftly wrapping a white cloth about the wound, securing it with four small metal snap clips.
Details
10
18 131 "This is the sixth hook-knife wound I have treated today," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 133 "Your opponent is, I suppose," said Flaminius, "dead".
Details
10
18 135 "Oh?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
18 137 "Ha!" laughed Flaminius.
Details
10
18 142 Flaminius laughed delightedly.
Details
10
18 147 "Beware of Ho-Tu," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 149 Flaminius looked at me, with a certain drunken awe.
Details
10
18 159 "No," said Flaminius, smiling.
Details
10
18 172 "A teaching of Initiates," said Flaminius bitterly.
Details
10
18 176 "Another myth of Initiates," said Flaminius, unpleasantly.
Details
10
18 178 "I do not care," said Flaminius, "if it is true or not.
Details
10
18 181 "For many years," said Flaminius, "and this was even before 10,110, the year of Pa-Kur and his horde, I and others worked secretly in the Cylinder of Physicians.
Details
10
18 188 Flaminius laughed.
Details
10
18 192 Flaminius looked at me, curiously.
Details
10
18 195 Flaminius took another drink, and then he looked at me, bitterly.
Details
10
18 203 Flaminius looked at me.
Details
10
18 208 "The men who attacked the Cylinder," I said, "who were they?" "Doubtless henchmen of Initiates," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 211 "Most escaped," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 214 Flaminius smiled bitterly.
Details
10
18 217 "Everything was gone," said Flaminius, "the records, our equipment, the animals; several of my staff had been slain; those who survived, in large part, did not wish to continue the work".
Details
10
18 221 Flaminius laughed.
Details
10
18 222 "I thought how foolish was Flaminius," he said.
Details
10
18 238 What man could ask for more?" "Flaminius," I said.
Details
10
18 248 "One thing more to this little story," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 253 "He does not know it," said Flaminius, "nor will he learn for perhaps a year".
Details
10
18 255 Flaminius laughed and poured himself another drink.
Details
10
23 20 Surely Flaminius, drunk, might still be in the house.
Details
10
23 32 "Flaminius!" I cried.
Details
10
23 33 "Flaminius!" A slave running past stopped on my command.
Details
10
23 34 "Fetch Flaminius!" I cried.
Details
10
23 49 Flaminius came in but a few moments.
Details
10
23 58 Flaminius, tears in his eyes, came and knelt with me beside Sura.
Details
10
23 224 In passing again through the hall of Cernus I encountered Flaminius.
Details
10
23 229 Flaminius seemed shaken.
Details
10
23 231 Flaminius looked down.
Details
10
23 254 "You are Flaminius," I told him, "he who long ago loved men and chose to wear the green robes of the Caste of Physicians".
Details
10
23 255 "Long ago," he said, looking down, "I knew Flaminius".
Details
10
23 259 "I loved Sura," said Flaminius.
Details
10
23 262 "I will not die," said Flaminius.
Details
10
24 166 I saw Flaminius, at one point, standing before the throne of the Ubar.
Details
10
24 231 I saw Flaminius briefly in the room of the court.
Details
10
24 236 "Some," said Flaminius.

Book 20. (185 results) Players of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
21 243 Who is this Flaminius?" "I am Flaminius, who was confidant to Belnar," said Flaminius.
Details
10
4 1 Flaminius "Drink, Mistress?" I asked.
Details
10
4 273 "What a victory! Getting Bosk of Port Kar in my chains! Then delivering him, almost in passing, as a casual surprise, to Flaminius".
Details
10
4 274 Flaminius, I gathered, was the name of her recent guest at this picnic and meeting.
Details
10
4 276 I had once known a physician by the name of Flaminius, who was of Ar.
Details
10
4 337 I shall, in the meantime, send word to Flaminius to meet me there at the nineteenth Ahn.
Details
10
4 338 That will give me time to effect the capture, strip and chain the captive, and change into my prettiest clothes, ready to welcome Flaminius as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened".
Details
10
5 35 The wait until the nineteenth Ahn, and the arrival of your colleague, Master Flaminius, might be long.
Details
10
5 185 Flaminius, probably with his men, would be arriving in the neighborhood of the nineteenth Ahn.
Details
10
5 380 "This contains the materials, doubtless, which you were to deliver to your dear friend, Flaminius".
Details
10
5 384 "I must deliver that to Flaminius!" "I gather that that will be difficult for you to do," I said, "chained as you are".
Details
10
5 398 Still, I did recall that she had referred to a "Belnar" at yesterday's rendezvous with Flaminius.
Details
10
5 399 "And you were to deliver them to Flaminius?" I asked.
Details
10
5 414 I considered waiting for Flaminius and his men.
Details
10
5 419 To be sure, I did not know for certain that this Belnar, and Flaminius, the Lady Yanina, and those associated with them were agents of Kurii.
Details
10
5 434 "On the other hand, I recommend that you remain where you are, waiting for Flaminius".
Details
10
5 476 Perhaps then Flaminius, and the Lady Yanina, and those associated with them, did serve Kurii.
Details
10
5 477 "I see then," I said, "that you will have much to think about while awaiting the arrival of Flaminius".
Details
10
5 478 "Flaminius!" she laughed bitterly.
Details
10
5 479 "Dear Flaminius! He will shed few tears, I assure you, over my plight!" "That would be my impression," I said.
Details
10
12 416 That conjecture seemed obvious, if not inevitable, given the importance attached to them by the Lady Yanina, she of Brundisium, and her colleague, Flaminius, perhaps also of Brundisium.
Details
10
12 482 First, Flaminius, it seemed, who was to have received the messages from the Lady Yanina, had apparently intended to deliver them not to the Sardar, but to some party in Ar.
Details
10
13 20 "Manacle him," said Flaminius, he in the service of Belnar, Ubar of Brundisium.
Details
10
13 27 Flaminius looped the other end of the leash twice about the horn of his saddle.
Details
10
13 30 "He is manacled and leashed," said Flaminius to his men.
Details
10
13 41 "It was our original intention to wait for you in the camp, surprising you there," said Flaminius.
Details
10
13 57 If Flaminius did not object I was sure, before we returned to the camp, some of them would make use of her.
Details
10
13 69 "No," said Flaminius.
Details
10
13 78 "Are most free women in Brundisium so easily recognized?" "Hardly," said Flaminius, "but our agent in this case, happily, was one of the men who had originally served the Lady Yanina, one who had occasionally, unbeknownst to her, a lusty fellow, spied upon her in her tent when she had unpinned her f...
Details
10
13 85 "And it was from the Lady Yanina, of course," said Flaminius, "that we learned of your presence with the troupe".
Details
10
13 89 "I know," said Flaminius.
Details
10
13 119 "We shall now return to the camp," said Flaminius, well pleased.
Details
10
13 124 "By the way," asked Flaminius, "what did you do with the papers you took from the Lady Yanina?" "They were worthless," I said.
Details
10
13 127 "I am not surprised," said Flaminius.
Details
10
13 131 "Had they done so," laughed Flaminius, "you would doubtless not have had to throw your lot in with an itinerant troupe of impoverished players".
Details
10
13 133 "You were bringing grain back to your camp," said Flaminius, looking down at the sack of grain lying in the dust.
Details
10
13 137 "Tie it there," said Flaminius.
Details
10
13 139 Flaminius then turned his tharlarion about.

13 141 "Captain," said one of Flaminius's men to him.
Details
10
13 145 "Very well," agreed Flaminius.
Details
10
13 148 "After your uses," Flaminius informed her, "you will follow us back to the camp".
Details
10
13 151 Flaminius then urged his tharlarion slowly forward and I, his captive, afoot, on his chain, carrying the burden, followed him.
Details
10
13 178 This speculation had been amply confirmed in my dealings with the Lady Yanina and Flaminius.
Details
10
14 88 "Nim Nim help! Nim Nim good urt! Now Nim Nim free!" "Kneel, Bosk of Port Kar," said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 90 With Flaminius were the jailer, and his other fellows.
Details
10
14 94 "Are you of Brundisium?" I asked Flaminius.
Details
10
14 103 The accent of Flaminius, now that I thought of it, did have traces within it which suggested Ar.
Details
10
14 107 "I thought you were to have had a bath," smiled Flaminius.
Details
10
14 118 "Simpler, yes," said Flaminius, "but far less amusing".
Details
10
14 127 "Of course," said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 133 "Accordingly, we arranged your escape," said Flaminius, "risking nothing, of course".
Details
10
14 135 "Of course not," said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 138 "Of course," said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 149 I now realized that it had been part of the plan of Flaminius.
Details
10
14 152 "Look," grinned Flaminius, and he signaled again to the fellow who held the rags I had worn.
Details
10
14 155 "Enough!" said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 158 Flaminius then took the garment, and looked at me.
Details
10
14 163 Flaminius then threw me the garment he had taken from the sleen keeper.
Details
10
14 171 "Yes, but not as amusing," said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 191 "Go, little urt," said Flaminius, kindly.
Details
10
14 194 "Nim Nim trick pretty Bosk!" "Hurry home, little urt," said Flaminius, kindly.
Details
10
14 199 Too bad, pretty Bosk!" "Hurry, hurry," urged Flaminius.
Details
10
14 201 Flaminius laughed.
Details
10
14 204 "You will now turn about, slowly, on your knees," said Flaminius to me.
Details
10
14 213 "I wonder what you will choose," said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 216 "Do not permit us to sway your decision," said Flaminius, "but it has been our usual experience in similar situations, that the individual involved waits until the sleen are almost upon him and then, seemingly almost uncontrollably, runs into the pack.
Details
10
14 220 "What will you do, Bosk of Port Kar?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
14 222 "An excellent answer," said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 226 "Slowly, slowly now," said Flaminius.
Details
10
14 235 I could see Flaminius there, and his men, and the sleen.
Details
10
14 384 Yet I did not think it would take Flaminius long to grasp my intent.
Details
10
14 469 I could see Flaminius, and his men, on the other side of the pack, quite near, now, to its edge.
Details
10
15 25 "Flaminius did not think so! He is looking elsewhere! He is scouring the countryside! 'He would not be so much a fool as to return there,' he laughed at me.
Details
10
15 28 My judgment is vindicated! Let Flaminius writhe in envy! It is I who was right! It is I who am triumphant! You are my prisoner, my prisoner alone, Bosk of Port Kar, the prisoner of the Lady Yanina!" Again she brandished the key at me, I looking up at her, she on the tharlarion.
Details
10
15 68 Now all changes! Now, fool, you will be the reason not only for my restoration to privilege and station in Brundisium, the reason for my new rise to favor in the court, in the eyes of Belnar, my Ubar, but the cause, as well, of my attaining there, in the palace and in the service of my Ubar, and the...
Details
10
15 88 How envious she seemed of men, particularly of her rival, Flaminius.
Details
10
15 123 That fellow Flaminius did it that way, as I recall".
Details
10
15 125 Indeed, she had been brought in on a chain by Flaminius at the same time, marched at the stirrup of one of his men, barefoot, her wrists bound behind her, wearing only a sack, that which had been her common garment in the camp, that in which I had put her long ago for my amusement, that which had on...
Details
10
15 141 Perhaps, too, she recalled how she had been left to be discovered by Flaminius at the Inn of Ragnar, her men strewn about, drugged, she chained naked, hand and foot, beneath a feasting table, in the fashion of a bond-maid in Torvaldsland, such things, various things.
Details
10
16 79 On his left hand sat Flaminius, who seemed in a glum mood this evening.
Details
10
16 805 On his left hand sat Flaminius, who, it seemed, had not joined in the applause.
Details
10
16 806 Flaminius, as I had earlier noted, did not seem too pleased with the nature and progress of the evening.
Details
10
18 106 "Where is the Lady Yanina?" inquired Belnar of Flaminius, irritatedly.
Details
10
18 107 "I know not, Ubar," admitted Flaminius.
Details
10
18 109 "Yes, Ubar," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 112 "Yes, Ubar," granted Flaminius.
Details
10
18 113 "I know you have an eye for her beauty," said Belnar to Flaminius.
Details
10
18 114 "I trust you have not had her taken to a villa outside the walls, where she awaits you now in chains and a collar?" "No, Ubar," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 116 "Yes, Ubar," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 118 "Yes, Ubar," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 119 "You have not had her enslaved on the evening of her triumph, have you?" "No, Ubar!" said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 121 "Yes, Ubar," said Flaminius, uneasily, wiping his brow.
Details
10
18 139 At this point Belnar cast a good-humored glance at Flaminius.
Details
10
18 140 Flaminius smiled wryly, accommodatingly.
Details
10
18 144 Her conquest this night was not to be merely over me, a fellow named Bosk, merely a fellow from another city, but more importantly, I gathered, over Flaminius, her rival, as well.
Details
10
18 159 Flaminius, I noted, did not join in this acclaim.
Details
10
18 164 She was, after all, in a sense, one courtier among others, and thus, in a sense, was doubtless in rivalry with many of them, not just Flaminius.
Details
10
18 279 "He must still be within the palace!" cried Flaminius, leaping to his feet.
Details
10
18 460 "Ubar," said a voice, the voice of Flaminius.
Details
10
18 467 "Ubar," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 470 "Ubar," protested Flaminius.
Details
10
18 472 "Issue orders! Are you a fool? Have them see to the safety of the streets, the security of the gates, the search for escaped prisoners!" "Surely you will take command personally," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 474 "I will take command then, with your permission," said Flaminius.
Details
10
18 478 "Ubar?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
18 482 I want everyone who can recognize him, who knows him, guardsman or not, male or female, free or slave, involved in the search!" "Is he so important, Ubar?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
18 485 In a moment, too, Flaminius, his voice fading down the hall, calling to subordinates, had hurried away.
Details
10
19 96 "Deliver it to Flaminius, the confidant of the ubar," suggested the man.
Details
10
19 99 That would be all I needed, I thought, to report myself in to Flaminius.
Details
10
20 39 I did not think that Flaminius, or a city captain, or a captain of the guard, would care to impose such niceties on a victim, unless perhaps she were a recalcitrant female slave.
Details
10
21 2 "I thought you might come here," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 61 "You have reason to be frightened, do you not, my dear?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
21 66 "She was put in a state collar," said Flaminius, "with no specifications or restrictions.
Details
10
21 137 I followed Flaminius and Yanina through the house.
Details
10
21 167 "See?" asked Flaminius, at the exterior threshold, that leading to the balcony garden.
Details
10
21 172 "He is your fellow, Petrucchio, I believe," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 178 "Apparently he turned back, hoping to be of assistance to you, or rescue you," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 182 "What a preposterous fool," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 185 "I have no intention of meeting you with steel," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 187 "I have your friend, Petrucchio," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 189 "If I am slain," said Flaminius, "Petrucchio, of course, will die".
Details
10
21 191 "Surely it is time to have a conversation," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 211 "Or by his greed, or his ambition, or whatever proves itself useful," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 213 "Comply with my wishes," said Flaminius, "and Petrucchio goes free".
Details
10
21 215 "Your disposition will be determined by others," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 228 "I gave orders that we were not to be disturbed," said Flaminius, angrily.
Details
10
21 230 "Open in the name of the alliance!" "A general of Ar, here?" said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 234 Flaminius looked at me.
Details
10
21 237 Flaminius hurried to the door and opened it.
Details
10
21 242 I was told by the city captain that he received his orders from some fellow named Flaminius, and that he might be here.
Details
10
21 248 "They are difficult to control," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 250 "I have heard," said the figure, sternly, "that hundreds of men, who might better have been used in protecting the city, have been spent in fruitless searches for some fugitive!" "Not fruitless, General!" cried Flaminius.
Details
10
21 255 "I have him helpless, General," Flaminius assured him.
Details
10
21 258 "Yes, General!" said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 262 Flaminius turned white.
Details
10
21 266 "Where then are your men?" asked Flaminius, fearfully.
Details
10
21 269 Flaminius relaxed, visibly.
Details
10
21 272 "What?" asked Flaminius, aghast.
Details
10
21 279 I seized Flaminius by the neck and pushed him back against a wall.
Details
10
21 313 "If the sheaf of notes on acting hints, those on the detailed deportment of the head and hands, prepared for you by Publius Andronicus, had not somewhat turned the blade of Flaminius, it might have been a different matter," I told Petrucchio.
Details
10
21 368 "Do not kill me!" cried Flaminius, twisting in the cords, seeing me approaching through the apartments, the steel of my sword bared.
Details
10
21 372 I put the point of the sword to the throat of Flaminius.
Details
10
21 378 "Yes," Flaminius encouraged me.
Details
10
21 387 I then freed her from the bars and threw her to the tiles before Flaminius, her master, there putting her to my pleasure, before him.
Details
10
21 389 "Excellent," said Flaminius, approvingly.
Details
10
21 401 I regarded Flaminius.
Details
10
21 409 "Doubtless men will be coming soon," I said to Flaminius, "to look for you.
Details
10
21 411 "There is no hurry," cried Flaminius.
Details
10
21 414 "She can do better!" said Flaminius, hastily.
Details
10
21 417 "Yes, yes!" said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 421 "Is she not beautiful?" asked Flaminius.
Details
10
21 424 "Use her!" urged Flaminius.
Details
10
21 426 "You dolt!" hissed Flaminius to Yanina.
Details
10
21 428 "Nothing," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 434 "Let Yanina please you!" I looked at Flaminius.
Details
10
21 452 In this my own anticipations had proved sounder than those of Flaminius.
Details
10
21 455 Flaminius's power, I suspected, had largely been a matter of his closeness to the ubar, and his control of special projects, under the direction of the ubar.
Details
10
21 476 Flaminius, however, it seemed, did not derive the same pleasure from this that I did, certainly not after the first Ahn, at least.
Details
10
21 477 I now glanced to Flaminius.
Details
10
21 481 Flaminius, my prisoner, looked away, not wanting to meet my eyes.
Details
10
21 485 "Good," said Flaminius, bitterly.
Details
10
21 488 "Stinking, collared slut," snarled Flaminius.
Details
10
21 492 "Excellent," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 512 "Eat," I said to Flaminius, spooning some vulo and rice into his mouth.
Details
10
21 518 I heard Flaminius gasp in anger.
Details
10
21 523 "No," said Flaminius, hastily.
Details
10
21 530 I looked at Flaminius.
Details
10
21 568 "I do not know," said Flaminius, frightened.
Details
10
21 572 "I am naked and bound," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 580 "Please him!" cried Flaminius to Yanina.
Details
10
21 583 "Slut!" cried Flaminius.
Details
10
21 586 * * * * I held Yanina in my arms, before Flaminius.
Details
10
21 605 "Slave!" snarled Flaminius.
Details
10
21 608 I then, gently, to the fury of Flaminius, took her, as she gasped, and clutched, and thanked me.
Details
10
21 610 "Hateful slut!" cried Flaminius.
Details
10
21 632 "But Flaminius you might kill," she said.
Details
10
21 634 "No!" cried Flaminius, sitting naked before the bars, his back to them, his wrists tied back to them on either side of his body.
Details
10
21 638 I came back and stood before Flaminius.
Details
10
21 643 "I give her to you!" cried Flaminius.
Details
10
21 650 "Hear this, too, Flaminius," I said.
Details
10
21 656 "It will be done as you wish," said Flaminius.
Details
10
21 661 "If this is not done," I said to Flaminius, "I will not be pleased.
Details
10
21 664 "The matter will be attended to," said Flaminius, "I assure you, exactly according to your instructions".
Details
10
22 32 He looked in worse condition than he had when he had experienced the thrust of Flaminius.
Details
10
22 204 This information, and I did not doubt but what it was sound, I had had from Flaminius, he of Ar, though seemingly traitor to that city.
Details
10
22 283 "Flaminius," he said.
Details
10
