10 |
| 15 | 149 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, who stood first among the two men. |
10 |
| 15 | 150 |
The Lady Florence, then, with a movement of her robes, departed from the porch. |
10 |
| 16 | 162 |
It read, I had been told, 'I am the property of the Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 16 | 281 |
"You are Jason," he asked, "the slave of the Lady Florence of Vonda?" He was looking at the note, extracted from the sack. |
10 |
| 16 | 332 |
"I am Jason, slave to the Lady Florence of Vonda," I said. |
10 |
| 17 | 203 |
"Thus," she laughed, "I, the Lady Melpomene of Vonda, take the silk slave of my enemy, the despicable Lady Florence of Vonda!" I looked up at her, shuddering. |

The Inspection of the Stable Slaves "The stable slaves are ready for inspection, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, head keeper of the Mistress' slaves. |
10 |
| 18 | 17 |
"Kneel more straightly, Slave," said the Lady Florence to another stable slave, down the line from me. |
10 |
| 18 | 24 |
"Stop!" It had been the voice of Kenneth, the head keeper of my mistress' slaves, the Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 18 | 41 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," had said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 44 |
Lady Florence, Kenneth and myself were alone left on the porch. |
10 |
| 18 | 48 |
"Lady Florence," he asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 50 |
"When we return to your villa near Vonda," he asked, "is the slave to be returned to the house or is it your intention that he serve there, as well as here, in the stables, not your private stables but the great stables?" The Lady Florence owned more than a thousand tharlarion. |
10 |
| 18 | 66 |
"'My sweet friend and compatriot, Lady Florence of Vonda,'" read Kenneth, "'thank you very much for the use of your lovely silk slave, Jason. |
10 |
| 18 | 79 |
The Lady Florence had come out again on the porch. |
10 |
| 18 | 138 |
She could be quite thorough, my mistress, the lofty Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 18 | 179 |
The Lady Florence, though she must have been aware of these things, never, it was said, at home or abroad, mentioned the name of the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 18 | 209 |
On it was the legend 'I belong to the Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 18 | 211 |
The Lady Florence was now two slaves from me. |
10 |
| 18 | 235 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, "but, still, he has been with us now for some five weeks". |
10 |
| 18 | 239 |
"Perhaps you remember him, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 259 |
"He is splendid, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, warmly. |
10 |
| 18 | 263 |
"Of course, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 284 |
The Lady Florence looked over to the line of kneeling kajirae. |
10 |
| 18 | 286 |
"If Lady Florence disapproves," said Kenneth, "we shall, of course, discontinue the practice". |
10 |
| 18 | 288 |
"I do not know, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 294 |
"Of course, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 297 |
"How strong your arms seem to have become," mused the Lady Florence, looking down upon me. |
10 |
| 18 | 300 |
"It is nothing whatsoever to me," said the Lady Florence to Kenneth, "whether this slave, a mere slave, is or is not used in the stable bouts. |
10 |
| 18 | 302 |
"Of course, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 307 |
"Does the Lady Florence wish to inspect her kajirae?" inquired Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 313 |
"Sell her," said the Lady Florence, and turned away. |
10 |
| 19 | 27 |
The stables of the Lady Florence of Vonda had been, as a result of this, particularly in the last four or five years, unusually successful in the stable bouts. |
10 |
| 19 | 99 |
It was the voice of Kenneth, master keeper of the slaves of the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 19 | 251 |
Kneeling before us, on the wagon bed, her hands braceleted behind her back, two small keys dangling from her enameled collar was Taphris, who was one of the personal serving slaves of the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 19 | 285 |
The Lady Florence did not raise hurt, though some were raised on nearby ranches. |
10 |
| 20 | 104 |
"The stables of the Lady Florence of Vonda will await him!" I had beaten the champion of the stables of Miles of Vonda two weeks ago. |
10 |
| 20 | 108 |
It was not merely that his own champion had been defeated and that he had lost a goodly bit of coin on the wagering involved, but that he had been, in the past, like several other young swains in the vicinity, an unsuccessful suitor in the matter of the companionship, for the hand of the Lady Floren... |
10 |
| 20 | 128 |
"Congratulations, Jason," said the Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 20 | 138 |
"May I present, Kenneth," said the Lady Florence of Vonda, "my dear friend, the Lady Melpomene of Vonda". |
10 |
| 20 | 140 |
"Jason," said the Lady Florence, "perhaps you remember my good friend, the Lady Melpomene of Vonda, my city". |
10 |
| 20 | 142 |
"We have patched up our differences, Jason," said the Lady Florence, "and we are now the best, and fastest, of friends". |
10 |
| 20 | 144 |
"Lady Melpomene will be staying with us for two or three days," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 147 |
"You will see that the grounds, and the stables, are tidy, won't you, Kenneth?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 148 |
"Surely, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 150 |
"As Lady Florence wishes," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 152 |
"No, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 160 |
"It seems her tunic has been torn," said the Lady Florence, "and, too, it seems her hair has been cut". |
10 |
| 20 | 166 |
"Of course," said Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 168 |
"Of course," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 171 |
"Again, Jason," said the Lady Florence, turning away from Kenneth, "permit me to congratulate you on your victory". |
10 |
| 20 | 173 |
"I did not know, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, "that you were a partisan of the bouts". |
10 |
| 20 | 177 |
"Did Lady Florence enjoy the bouts?" he asked. |
10 |
| 20 | 184 |
"Most disgusting of all, perhaps," said the Lady Florence, "was the disgraceful sight of those half-naked slave girls pawing after the fighters". |
10 |
| 20 | 187 |
"This is true," admitted the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 189 |
"What can one expect of collared sluts?" "I wonder, though, what it would be like to feel such emotion," mused the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 195 |
"Perhaps," shuddered the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 196 |
"With your permission, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, "I would like to get Jason to the stall, that we may dry and warm him. |
10 |
| 20 | 199 |
"I trust you take as good care of my tharlarion as you do of your fighters," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 201 |
"You may kiss my feet, Jason," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 205 |
"He has become a sturdy brute, hasn't he?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 210 |
"Kenneth!" called the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 225 |
"No, Kenneth," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 230 |
"Is that clearly understood, Kenneth?" "Yes, Lady Florence," he said, angrily. |
10 |
| 20 | 232 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," he said. |
10 |
| 20 | 236 |
"Very well, Lady Florence," he said. |
10 |
| 20 | 237 |
Then he turned about, to thrust me ahead of him down the corridor, I looked back, seeing again, at the gate, the Lady Florence and, beside her, the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 21 | 434 |
This occurred in the tunneling under the domain of the Lady Florence only where the main tunnel was approached. |
10 |
| 22 | 2 |
"It is nothing," said the Lady Florence, "for we are sharers of a Home Stone and are, too, fast friends". |
10 |
| 22 | 3 |
"How I regret our former differences," said the Lady Melpomene, clasping in her two hands those of the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 4 |
The Lady Florence nodded, her features visible behind the light house veil, suitable for an informal dinner with friends. |
10 |
| 22 | 8 |
Through the curtain we could hear and see what took place within the lofty hall in the house of the Lady Florence, she of Vonda. |
10 |
| 22 | 11 |
There were four men and two women at these tables, other than the Lady Florence, the hostess, and her guest of the past several days, the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 20 |
There was polite applause, the striking of the left shoulder, from those at the tables, including the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 22 |
"I lift my wine to the Lady Florence of Vonda!" said the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 23 |
"We lift our wine to the Lady Florence of Vonda," said the guests. |
10 |
| 22 | 24 |
All then drank, save the Lady Florence, who, smiling, did not lift her cup. |
10 |
| 22 | 31 |
"I thank you, citizens of Vonda and others, friends, all," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 34 |
"I lift my cup," said the Lady Florence, "to the beautiful Lady Melpomene of Vonda, who is beautiful enough, I am sure, even to wear the collar of a slave!" There was laughter at this bold toast, and the Lady Melpomene, reddening, smiling, put down her head. |
10 |
| 22 | 35 |
"Please, Lady Florence," she chided. |
10 |
| 22 | 40 |
"I am sure that the toast of the Lady Florence is true in all particulars". |
10 |
| 22 | 45 |
I looked about, through the curtain, at the guests of the Lady Florence, other than the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 56 |
The two ladies, both of Vonda, were Leta and Perimene, both friends of the Ladies Florence and Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 59 |
"The garments are those of the Lady Florence," he said. |
10 |
| 22 | 61 |
"Even the perfume she wears is that of the Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 22 | 66 |
"What is the entertainment you have planned for us, Lady Florence?" inquired the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 67 |
"It is to be a surprise," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 74 |
"A splendid idea!" said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 80 |
"And, thanks to my friend, the Lady Florence, she of Vonda," said the Lady Melpomene, "you shall have your payments, and now. |
10 |
| 22 | 81 |
The Lady Florence has graciously agreed to lend me the full amount of the due notes and at no interest". |
10 |
| 22 | 82 |
This seemed to me incredibly generous of the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 84 |
"I herewith publicly sign," said the Lady Melpomene, "this loan note, made out to the Lady Florence of Vonda, for the full sum of one thousand, four hundred and twenty tarns of gold". |
10 |
| 22 | 85 |
"And I," said the Lady Florence, "herewith publicly sign this draft, marked in the same amount, drawn on the bank of Reginald in Vonda, and properly certified, made out to Philebus of Venna". |
10 |
| 22 | 90 |
The loan note was carried by the Lady Florence herself to the prefect and to the Lady Leta and the Lady Perimene. |
10 |
| 22 | 93 |
This had been done by Philebus of Venna and the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 96 |
"You are now my full and only creditor, Lady Florence," said the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 98 |
"You will be treated precisely as you deserve," the Lady Florence assured her. |
10 |
| 22 | 99 |
"Let us all, together rejoicing," called out the Lady Melpomene, "prepare to lift our cups to our lovely and generous hostess, she with whom I share a Home Stone, my dearest friend, the Lady Florence of Vonda!" The Lady Melpomene reached for her cup. |
10 |
| 22 | 100 |
"Do not touch that cup, Slut," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 101 |
"Florence!" cried the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 102 |
"Have you paid for the wine?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 104 |
The Lady Florence reached to the tiny cup of wine, and seized it up, and hurled its contents against the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 107 |
"What perfume are you wearing?" demanded the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 112 |
"Not mine," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 116 |
The Lady Florence did not permit her stable sluts perfume, even slave perfume. |
10 |
| 22 | 118 |
"Whose garments do you wear?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 131 |
"We are now in the fee of the Lady Florence," said one of the men, he whom I took it was named Durbar. |
10 |
| 22 | 134 |
The two men, each one holding an arm, held the Lady Melpomene so that she must face the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 136 |
"Whose garments do you wear?" demanded the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 139 |
"Remove them," said the Lady Florence, coldly. |
10 |
| 22 | 142 |
"The slippers first," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 144 |
"She bares her feet before free persons," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 146 |
"Now throw back the hood and remove your veil," said the Lady Florence, harshly. |
10 |
| 22 | 149 |
"You will do these things or they will be done for you," said the Lady Florence, indicating Durbar and Hesius. |
10 |
| 22 | 154 |
"She face strips herself before free persons," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 157 |
"Remove your clothing now, all of it," said the Lady Florence, coldly. |
10 |
| 22 | 159 |
The Lady Florence indicated to Durbar and Hesius that they were not to pursue her. |
10 |
| 22 | 161 |
It was apparently barred from the other side and whoever guarded it, probably Borto, one of the men of the Lady Florence, had been instructed not to open it in answer to her entreaties. |
10 |
| 22 | 163 |
"Come back, Lady Melpomene," called the Lady Florence, "and hurry, lest we become displeased". |
10 |
| 22 | 164 |
The Lady Melpomene hurried back to the tables, sobbing, and fell on her knees at the low table of the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 165 |
She extended her hands to the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 168 |
"Go, stand there on the tiles, where you were before," said the Lady Florence, pointing. |
10 |
| 22 | 170 |
"Now remove your clothing, all of it," said the Lady Florence, "or it will be done for you". |
10 |
| 22 | 173 |
"That is the sum of your resources," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 175 |
"Please, Florence," moaned the Lady Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 176 |
"Am I not your single and full creditor?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 178 |
Then, grandly, loftily, the Lady Florence lifted up the loan note from the table before her. |
10 |
| 22 | 179 |
"I demand payment," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 183 |
The Lady Florence turned to look upon Brandon, who was a prefect in Vonda. |
10 |
| 22 | 186 |
"Such notes as that I hold," said the Lady Florence, "are due, as you must know, upon the demand of the creditor". |
10 |
| 22 | 189 |
"Such is my prerogative," said the Lady Florence, imperiously. |
10 |
| 22 | 191 |
"I do not choose to do so," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 193 |
"My intentions go far beyond your ruin," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 196 |
"Can you pay?" "You have lured me here," cried out the Lady Melpomene to the Lady Florence, "away from Vonda, beyond the shelter of her walls!" "The walls of Vonda," said the prefect sternly, "would no longer afford you protection, for your debt, in its plenitude, is now owed to one who is a citizen... |
10 |
| 22 | 212 |
The Lady Florence cried out with pleasure and clapped her hands together in triumph. |
10 |
| 22 | 214 |
Then, for a moment they struck their left shoulders in Gorean applause, congratulating the Lady Florence on her triumph over her long-term enemy. |
10 |
| 22 | 217 |
"May I present our friend Tenalion in a new light to you?" inquired the Lady Florence of the naked, shuddering slave near the ring. |
10 |
| 22 | 236 |
"Bring a slave whip!" cried the Lady Florence, leaping to her feet. |
10 |
| 22 | 242 |
Pamela hurried back, into the room, pressing into the hands of the Lady Florence a long-handled, five-bladed Gorean slave whip. |
10 |
| 22 | 245 |
He looked up at the Lady Florence, and smiled. |
10 |
| 22 | 247 |
"I have waited long for this moment!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 250 |
"I name you Melpomene!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 254 |
"Triumph! Joy!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 258 |
"Do you dare to obstruct a blow of the whip!" cried the Lady Florence to the girl who lay now terrified and supine, in pain, wild, her hands trying to fend the leather away, at her feet. |
10 |
| 22 | 260 |
"No, what!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 265 |
The Lady Florence then again, wildly, angrily, laid the leather to the lovely back of her former rival. |
10 |
| 22 | 274 |
The Lady Florence was now gasping. |
10 |
| 22 | 278 |
"Beg!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 280 |
"Very well," cried the Lady Florence, and then, again, she struck at the girl. |
10 |
| 22 | 284 |
The Lady Florence was not strong. |
10 |
| 22 | 295 |
"On your knees, Melpomene," snapped the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 297 |
"Feed and water the slave," said the Lady Florence to Bonnie. |
10 |
| 22 | 300 |
"You see what an indulgent Mistress I am, Melpomene," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 303 |
"From whom do you receive your food and water?" inquired the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 306 |
"Eat," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 309 |
"Melpomene!" said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 315 |
"Pamela, Bonnie," called the Lady Florence, "we are now ready for the second course of our supper". |
10 |
| 22 | 317 |
"It is a small dish," said the Lady Florence, "the white meat of roast vulos, prepared in a sauce of spiced Sa-Tarna and Ta wine". |
10 |
| 22 | 320 |
The Lady Florence turned to the musicians, who were sitting to one side. |
10 |
| 22 | 322 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," said the czehar player, their leader. |
10 |
| 22 | 330 |
When the tiny plates and cups of the seventh course had been cleared away the Lady Florence looked over to the chained slave, kneeling at her ring. |
10 |
| 22 | 333 |
"It is time for you to entertain us, my dear," said the Lady Florence to the slave. |
10 |
| 22 | 337 |
"I had intended to rent a dancing slave in Vonda," said the Lady Florence to her guests, "a decorous girl in blue silk and a golden collar, who might by the loveliness and grace of her movements please us, but it slipped my mind. |
10 |
| 22 | 340 |
"Pamela," said the Lady Florence, "bring dancing silks for our slave". |
10 |
| 22 | 347 |
He had been considering Lady Florence, doubtless surmising the configuration of her body beneath the ornate robes. |
10 |
| 22 | 358 |
The Lady Florence looked to the leader of the musicians. |
10 |
| 22 | 362 |
"Oh," cried the Lady Florence, in mock dismay, "I wished to obtain a dancing slave from Vonda, but it slipped my mind, so silly am I, and we have now on hand only poor Melpomene". |
10 |
| 22 | 367 |
"To be sure," said the Lady Florence, "to dance a naked slave in mixed company seems scarcely to comport with the dignity of a refined house, but remember, too, I am a hostess, and we have men present, and we all know what beasts they are". |
10 |
| 22 | 370 |
"And so," said the Lady Florence, smiling, "as a good hostess I am under the obligation, surely, of providing a little something for the men". |
10 |
| 22 | 374 |
The Lady Florence again turned to the musicians. |
10 |
| 22 | 375 |
"Mistress," cried Melpomene, suddenly, in misery, "I do not know how to dance!" "What!" cried the Lady Florence, as though in astonishment. |
10 |
| 22 | 379 |
"Bring a slave whip," said the Lady Florence to Pamela, who swiftly brought it to her, from where she had earlier cast it aside. |
10 |
| 22 | 387 |
The Lady Florence stood up. |
10 |
| 22 | 389 |
The Lady Florence sat down, smiling. |
10 |
| 22 | 393 |
The Lady Florence then signaled to the musicians. |
10 |
| 22 | 395 |
And Melpomene, the collared slave, danced, entertaining the guests of her Mistress, the Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 22 | 408 |
"It is for the men," laughed the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 411 |
"Dance, you slut, dance!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 414 |
"To the men!" ordered the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 418 |
He grinned and lifted before her eyes the bank draft, drawn on the bank of Reginald in Vonda, certified, and signed by the Lady Florence, for one thousand, four hundred and twenty tarns of gold. |
10 |
| 22 | 430 |
But a moment after this the Lady Florence stood up and signaled to the musicians to discontinue, for the time, the music. |
10 |
| 22 | 435 |
"Do you hear that, Girl," said the Lady Florence to Melpomene, "you have slave fire in your belly". |
10 |
| 22 | 437 |
"I knew it!" said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 439 |
"How right that you wear a collar, Slave Girl," sneered the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 441 |
The Lady Florence regarded her new female slave. |
10 |
| 22 | 444 |
"No, you have not been," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 456 |
"Be silent, Girl," snapped the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 490 |
"I understand," said the Lady Florence, "that he has been upon occasion used in the stable bouts". |
10 |
| 22 | 493 |
"This is Jason," said the Lady Florence, introducing me to her guests. |
10 |
| 22 | 497 |
"According to my reports," continued the Lady Florence, "some of my stable sluts are half mad with passion for him". |
10 |
| 22 | 499 |
"I do not think I would mind being a slut in your stables, my dear Florence," said the Lady Perimene, "if I were to find myself at the mercy of such beasts". |
10 |
| 22 | 501 |
"That could be dangerous, Lady Florence," said Tenalion, "unless he is kept closely chained". |
10 |
| 22 | 505 |
"It is my will," said the Lady Florence angrily, defensively. |
10 |
| 22 | 508 |
He looked at the Lady Florence as though he had stripped her. |
10 |
| 22 | 512 |
"Indeed," laughed the Lady Florence, "I might let him have one tonight". |
10 |
| 22 | 514 |
"Jason," said the Lady Florence, "may I introduce one of my slaves to you, a new one. |
10 |
| 22 | 519 |
"Do you remember Jason, Melpomene?" asked the Lady Florence, sweetly. |
10 |
| 22 | 521 |
"Do you think she would make a suitable snack of love flesh for a fighting slave, Jason?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 523 |
"To his feet, Girl," snapped the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 527 |
"Now beg to dance for him," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 534 |
I glanced to the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 538 |
The Lady Florence regarded the slave, who, not moving, and afraid to meet her eyes, now held, trembling, one of the lovely attitudes of a dancing slave. |
10 |
| 22 | 539 |
Then, slowly, not hurrying, the Lady Florence returned to her place, behind the small table. |
10 |
| 22 | 542 |
The Lady Florence then signaled to the musicians, and they began to play. |
10 |
| 22 | 544 |
"If you are not pleased with her, Jason," said the Lady Florence, "let me know, and I will have her slain before morning". |
10 |
| 22 | 558 |
"Do you find her of interest, Jason?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 564 |
"Slut! Slut!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 571 |
"Has her dance pleased you, Jason?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 575 |
"Pamela," cried the Lady Florence, "bring love furs!" "Yes, Mistress," she said. |
10 |
| 22 | 576 |
"Tenalion," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 577 |
"May I trouble you to shackle my little Melpomene by the ring?" "Of course, Lady Florence," said Tenalion. |
10 |
| 22 | 579 |
The Lady Florence and Melpomene were of quite similar height and weight. |
10 |
| 22 | 580 |
The Lady Florence might have been an eighth of a hort taller. |
10 |
| 22 | 587 |
"You remember, Jason," said the Lady Florence, "when after your victory over Kaibar, of the stables of Shandu, I ordered that you not be given a woman". |
10 |
| 22 | 591 |
"This is the slut," said the Lady Florence, indicating Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 608 |
"Melpomene," said the Lady Florence to her new slave, who was now kneeling on the love furs, "when you were a free woman and dared to steal my silk slave for your pleasure, did you kiss him?" "Of course not, Mistress," she said. |
10 |
| 22 | 611 |
"Recline on the love furs, Jason," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 614 |
"Melpomene," said the Lady Florence, "you understand that you are now no longer a free woman but only a slut of a slave". |
10 |
| 22 | 618 |
"Kiss his body," said the Lady Florence, "every inch of it". |
10 |
| 22 | 620 |
"Begin at the extremities," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 668 |
"Must we gag the little slut to keep her quiet?" demanded the Lady Florence, angrily. |
10 |
| 22 | 679 |
The Lady Florence came about the small tables to stand near the love furs, over her new slave girl. |
10 |
| 22 | 690 |
"Thank you," said the Lady Florence, regarding her former enemy, now her naked slave, at her feet. |
10 |
| 22 | 693 |
"She is too sexual to be a serving slave," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 696 |
The Lady Florence glanced at me. |
10 |
| 22 | 703 |
"No," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 716 |
"Do you think she is good—oh, what is the word?—ah, yes, good—good slave meat?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 718 |
He then looked evenly at the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 719 |
I conjectured that Tenalion thought it likely that the Lady Florence, too, under similar circumstances and conditions, might prove superb slave meat. |
10 |
| 22 | 729 |
The Lady Florence looked down at the stripped, humbled Melpomene. |
10 |
| 22 | 740 |
"She is worthless," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 747 |
"What is she worth?" asked the Lady Florence, curious. |
10 |
| 22 | 749 |
"So much?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 753 |
The hand of the Lady Florence closed on the silver tarsk. |
10 |
| 22 | 755 |
"I have sold you, Melpomene," said the Lady Florence to the girl. |
10 |
| 22 | 766 |
"Doubtless, Tenalion," said the Lady Florence, "you will soon have her branded". |
10 |
| 22 | 770 |
"I see," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 771 |
"Have no fear, Lady Florence," he said, "her thigh will soon know, and well and deeply, the kiss of the burning iron. |
10 |
| 22 | 773 |
"Good," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 782 |
"Your vengeance on your enemy, Lady Florence," said the Lady Leta, looking down at Melpomene, "is surely now complete and perfect". |
10 |
| 22 | 791 |
The women, the Lady Leta, the Lady Perimene, the Lady Florence, gasped in astonishment. |
10 |
| 22 | 792 |
"That is why you are dissatisfied, my dear Lady Florence," said Tenalion. |
10 |
| 22 | 793 |
"I do not understand," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 796 |
"I do not understand," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 799 |
"Her birthright?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 805 |
"And good night, too, to you, Lady Florence," he said. |
10 |
| 22 | 816 |
"Slave!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 22 | 826 |
As they left, I heard the Lady Perimene say to the Lady Leta, "But who would not be a slave in the arms of such a brute?" The Lady Florence signaled that the musicians might leave. |
10 |
| 22 | 830 |
"Of course," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 23 | 111 |
"I belong to the Lady Florence of Vonda, of course," I said to her. |
10 |
| 23 | 113 |
"I do not think the Lady Florence of Vonda would be pleased to hear that," I said. |
10 |
| 23 | 177 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 185 |
"Take her away," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 23 | 187 |
The Lady Florence looked about the tunnel, and at the retreating figure of Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 14 |
"Is Gort not the champion of the stables of Miles of Vonda?" "Here," cried one of the referee's men, pointing to me, "is Jason, champion of the stables of the Lady Florence of Vonda!" There was a cheer at this. |
10 |
| 25 | 30 |
I recalled that he had once been one of the rejected suitors of the Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 25 | 33 |
The Lady Florence was not this day present at the bouts. |
10 |
| 25 | 57 |
He is not pleased, so to speak, to have had his stables lose to those of the Lady Florence, whom he once courted in vain. |
10 |
| 25 | 58 |
Too, it is well known you were once a silk slave to Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 25 | 65 |
When you fall broken and bloody at the feet of Krondar, unable to move and at his mercy, will that not be a sweet vengeance for him, against you, and, in its way, against the Lady Florence?" "Doubtless," I said. |
10 |
| 25 | 280 |
* * * * We had been some two Ahn upon the road, returning to the lands of the Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 26 | 1 |
I Make the Lady Florence my Prisoner; We Flee Through the Tunnels There was a tearing of cloth. |
10 |
| 26 | 16 |
The rough fellow then, laughing, snapped slave bracelets on the wrists of the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 26 | 30 |
"Jason!" cried the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 26 | 65 |
"Save me from these men," moaned the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 26 | 148 |
"I am a free woman! I am the Lady Florence of Vonda! Oh! Oh!" I laughed softly to myself. |
10 |
| 26 | 160 |
Nonetheless I found the responsiveness of the Lady Florence, even though it was still well within the ranges attainable by the free woman, to be quite impressive. |
10 |
| 26 | 166 |
"A tasty little pudding!" cried the Lady Florence, angrily. |
10 |
| 26 | 231 |
"You are strong, Jason," said the Lady Florence, looking at the broken bench, "very strong". |
10 |
| 26 | 251 |
"I am the Lady Florence!" she said. |
10 |
| 26 | 260 |
Though she were the Lady Florence, a free woman of Vonda, I conducted her beside me as though she might have been a slave girl. |
10 |
| 26 | 303 |
I, dragging the Lady Florence by the wrist leash, hurried down the smoothly sloping dirt ramp leading to the tunnel. |
10 |
| 26 | 314 |
Chuckling I dragged the Lady Florence by her wrist leash through the darkness. |
10 |
| 27 | 1 |
I See to it that the Lady Florence Performs for Me "Clean it," I told her. |
10 |
| 27 | 32 |
I looked down at the Lady Florence and saw her terrified eyes. |
10 |
| 27 | 45 |
I had drawn the Lady Florence from the sand. |
10 |
| 27 | 79 |
The Lady Florence, my former mistress, wore now the rag of a stable slut. |
10 |
| 27 | 160 |
"I am the Lady Florence," she said, disbelievingly. |
10 |
| 27 | 244 |
Swiftly the Lady Florence, frightened, knelt in the straw. |
10 |
| 27 | 290 |
I did not think him likely to identify the lofty Lady Florence, a rich, high-born woman of Vonda, with the scantily-clad, exciting, punished girl who knelt chained as a slut beside me. |
10 |
| 27 | 316 |
Miles of Vonda had been one of several unsuccessful suitors for the hand of the proud Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 27 | 318 |
The Lady Florence had held herself to be too good for men. |
10 |
| 27 | 344 |
"He looked upon me and could not even tell the difference between the Lady Florence of Vonda and a mere slave girl". |
10 |
| 27 | 383 |
They are simply different! Free women are noble and fine! Slave girls are only meaningless, lascivious, sensuous, little sluts!" "Many slave girls are as large, or larger than you, Lady Florence," I said. |
10 |
| 27 | 390 |
It had indeed been a frank, bemused scrutiny to which Miles of Vonda had subjected the lofty Lady Florence, the sort of scrutiny commonly reserved for, and accorded to, slaves. |
10 |
| 27 | 410 |
"Do not break position, Lady Florence," I warned her. |
10 |
| 27 | 425 |
"I am the Lady Florence," she said. |
10 |
| 27 | 426 |
"The Lady Florence," I said, "is a lovely slut". |
10 |
| 27 | 429 |
"I am the Lady Florence," she said. |
10 |
| 27 | 434 |
"Yes," I said, "the Lady Florence is indeed a lovely slut". |
10 |
| 27 | 487 |
"Yes, yes!" * * * * "In your arms, you have taught me that I, the Lady Florence, am a slut," she whispered, bending over me. |
10 |
| 27 | 525 |
"Are you ready to perform again, Lady Florence?" I asked her, courteously. |
10 |
| 27 | 529 |
"Do so, Lady Florence," I said, courteously. |
10 |
| 27 | 537 |
"Perform, Lady Florence," I said. |
10 |
| 28 | 1 |
The Ankles of the Lady Florence are not Bound She lay on her stomach. |
10 |
| 28 | 20 |
"Lady Florence is generous," I said. |
10 |
| 28 | 36 |
"You are indeed generous, Lady Florence," I said. |
10 |
| 28 | 59 |
"Ah, but yes, my dear Lady Florence," I averred. |
10 |
| 28 | 82 |
Actually I did not think, any longer, though I was not interested in her offer, that the Lady Florence was truly in a position to extend a handsome employment. |
10 |
| 28 | 85 |
Though doubtless she retained assets the Lady Florence, I suspected, stood upon the brink of being a ruined woman. |
10 |
| 28 | 120 |
"On your feet, Lady Florence," I said. |
10 |
| 29 | 1 |
We Move South; The Tale Told by a Strand of Hair; I Decide to Prepare the Lady Florence for Slavery "It is madness!" she said. |
10 |
| 29 | 11 |
"She may have had many owners by now," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 29 | 15 |
"To put her at your feet?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 29 | 18 |
"But she is an Earth girl," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 29 | 45 |
The Lady Florence reddened. |
10 |
| 29 | 84 |
"I am not a slave!" "Times are grim, Lady Florence," I told her. |
10 |
| 29 | 109 |
The Lady Florence looked up at me, angrily. |
10 |
| 29 | 132 |
"I do not know what became of her," said the Lady Florence, looking away, trembling. |
10 |
| 29 | 133 |
"But you are certain, are you not," I asked, "that she was a true slave?" "Oh, yes," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 29 | 136 |
"Yes, Jason," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 29 | 138 |
"You would not know it, if you did, would you," asked the Lady Florence, "since, by my will, she served you only in the total darkness". |
10 |
| 29 | 148 |
"Sometimes," shrugged Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 29 | 150 |
"What are you suggesting!" demanded the Lady Florence, angrily. |
10 |
| 29 | 152 |
The Lady Florence straightened up then, and smiled. |
10 |
| 29 | 155 |
I walked slowly behind the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 32 | 1 |
I do not Listen to the Entreaties of the Lady Florence "I did not think you would have the nerve to leash me," she said. |
10 |
| 32 | 26 |
"Because you are pretty in a leash, Lady Florence," I said. |
10 |
| 32 | 76 |
I thought that perhaps it was time to teach the Lady Florence of Vonda something of slave needs. |
10 |
| 32 | 100 |
There she was, before me, naked, kneeling, tethered, leashed, as stripped, and helpless, as the most meaningless of slaves, my former mistress, the lofty, wealthy, imperious, beautiful Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 32 | 159 |
I regarded the Lady Florence of Vonda, now reduced to a helpless, squirming wench. |
10 |
| 32 | 168 |
To be sure, the Lady Florence was only a free woman. |
10 |
| 32 | 196 |
Again I heard the Lady Florence of Vonda moan, this time softly to herself, and I heard the catch of a sob in her throat. |
10 |
| 32 | 358 |
"You have the makings of a superb slave, and, my dear Lady Florence, though this is irrelevant to my decision, you will never find your happiness outside of the collar". |
10 |
| 32 | 385 |
"You are superb, Lady Florence," I said. |
10 |
| 33 | 47 |
"I think you will make a superb slave, Lady Florence". |
10 |
| 33 | 63 |
"You are superb slave meat, Lady Florence," I said. |
10 |
| 33 | 81 |
"Yes, Master!" "On your feet, Lady Florence," I said. |
10 |
| 33 | 102 |
I then conducted her down the slope, leading the captive beauty, the Lady Florence, on her leash, towards the camp. |
10 |
| 34 | 1 |
We Enter the Camp of Tenalion; I Sell the Lady Florence; I Must now Search for the Slave Beverly Henderson We entered the camp of Tenalion. |
10 |
| 34 | 3 |
They looked at the Lady Florence as I brought her in. |
10 |
| 34 | 10 |
"This way," I told the Lady Florence, heading toward the center of the camp, where the assessment platform would be. |
10 |
| 34 | 19 |
"I'm frightened," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 34 | 38 |
I turned to the Lady Florence. |
