Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	249	My first impression was that of a rush of wind and a great snapping sound, as if a giant might be snapping an enormous towel or scarf; then I was cowering, awe-stricken, in a great winged shadow, and an immense tarn, his talons extended like gigantic steel hooks, his wings sputtering fiercely in the...	10
3	21	The Goreans I had seen in the past few weeks had tended to be meticulous in their dress, taking great pride in their appearance, but Torm apparently had better things on which to spend his time.	10
4	2	I seized it, using it like a puny stick, striking at the great snapping beak that was trying to seize me, as if I were a scrap of food on the high, flat plate of the cylinder's roof.	10
4	5	In that instant I switched the tarn-goad to the "on" position, and when the great beak flashed downward again, I struck it viciously, trying to force it away from me.	10
4	41	The great tarn snapped his wings out, catching the air under them, and smoothly began to fly a straight course, his wings beating slowly but steadily in a cruising speed that would soon take us far beyond the towers of the city.	10
4	54	"Har-ta! Har-ta! Faster! Faster!" The great bird seemed to sense what I intended, or perhaps it was merely his sudden realization that the other tarn was in the lead, but a remarkable transformation swept over my sable, plumed steed.	10
5	90	She turned her head away again and looked, unseeing, at the head of the great tarn as he plowed the wind.	10
5	92	It was not easy to talk on the back of the great tarn, with the wind, and, besides, though I wanted to communicate with the girl, I felt I could not.	10
5	173	And to this day I bless the tarn keepers of Ko-ro-ba for the painstaking training they had given the great bird.	10
5	191	And now, down there, somewhere in that monstrous blaze of light, was a humble piece of stone, the Home Stone of that great city, and I must seize it.	10
6	6	The great bird opened and closed his wings, his steel-shod talons ringing on the metal perch as he changed his position, moving back and forth upon it.	10
6	7	At last, satisfied, he brought his wings against his body and remained still, except for the alert movements of his great head and the flash of those wicked eyes scrutinizing the streams of men and women on the nearby bridges.	10
6	39	I cursed as an arrow creased my shoulder, as the tarn's great wings smote the air and the monster took to flight.	10
6	112	"There is great rejoicing on Gor, but not in the city of Ar".	10
6	144	It charged, its great webbed feet striking the marsh water like explosions.	10
8	158	"I forced my slave girls to lie with soldiers, with merchants and builders, physicians and scribes," she said, "and I found out a great deal".	10
9	94	He rode the species of tharlarion called the high tharlarion, which ran on its two back feet in great bounding strides.	10
10	70	"Great Mintar," I spoke up, "forgive this she-tharlarion.	10
10	84	Mintar eased his great frame deeper into the silken pillows and motioned the strap-master of his tharlarions to close the curtains.	10
10	120	When the high tharlarion moves slowly, its stride is best described as a proud, stalking movement, each great clawed foot striking the earth with a measured rhythm.	10
10	121	When urged to speed, however, the high tharlarion bounds, in great leaping movements that carry it twenty paces at a time.	10
11	4	The flags of a hundred cities flew above the tents, and, against the steady roar of the river, the sound of the great tarn drums reached us, those huge drums whose signals control the complex war formations of Gor's flying cavalries.	10
11	48	Reluctantly I took Talena to the great tent of blue and yellow silk, and we pressed in among the hot, smelling bodies of the buyers, forcing our way toward the front.	10
12	62	It was far more likely that one of the water lizards of the Vosk or one of the great hook-beaked turtles of the river would seize my body and drag it and the frame under the water, destroying me in the mud below.	10
12	72	In the glade by the swamp forests, in the grain fields of the empire, on the great highway of Ar, in the regal, exotic caravan of Mintar, I had found the woman I loved, a scion of a barbaric race on a remote and unknown world.	10
12	91	As nearly as I could determine, we did not pass over or near the great highway that ran to the Vosk.	10
12	99	My bird swerved dizzily, and the great assailant's talons passed harmlessly.	10
12	108	High on a sunlit mountain ledge, the sable tarn dropped me to the sticks and brush of its nest and set one steel-shod taloned foot across my body, to hold me steady as the great beak did its work.	10
12	125	Suddenly a great shadow covered the ledge.	10
12	153	That would mean that I had unknowingly passed over the great highway, but whether ahead of or behind Pa-Kur's horde I had no idea.	10
12	168	By the time my great mount had settled again on his ledge, I had finished my work, even to restoring the gear in my saddle pack.	10
13	8	In the far distance I could see the silver wire I knew must be the great Vosk, could see the abrupt shift from the grassy plains to the Margin of Desolation.	10
13	49	Somehow the shock of that great, wild cry gripped me in a steel fist of terror.	10
13	53	When, twenty feet away, the great, bounding beast, fangs bared, leaped for its prey, it encountered instead only the slender needle of my spear, set like a stake in the ground, braced by the half-naked body of a warrior of Ko-ro-ba.	10
13	57	With a convulsive shudder, the great head rolled to one side and the eyes half closed, leaving a milky slit of death between the lids.	10
14	8	Before me, on a rough throne of piled rocks, sat Marlenus, his long hair over his shoulders, his great beard reaching almost to his sword belt.	10
14	147	I swung myself up and began to climb one of the two ropes leading to the great bird above me.	10
15	18	Behind the great ditch, separated from it by some hundred yards, there was a smaller ditch, perhaps twenty feet wide and twenty feet deep, also with a rampart formed from the excavated earth.	10
15	102	"You are one of destiny and luck," he said, "raised by the Priest-Kings to do great deeds".	10
15	117	In the center of the great tent, seated alone on cushions before a small fire, were two men, a game board between them.	10
15	118	One was Mintar, of the Merchant Caste, his great bulk resting like a sack of meal on the cushions.	10
15	167	Mintar shifted comfortably, settling his great bulk more deeply into the cushions.	10
15	205	We faced each other for a long, terrible moment; then Marlenus threw back his head and laughed his great lion laugh, slamming his sword back into its sheath.	10
15	260	"On the highest ground in camp," said Mintar, "near the second ditch and across from the great gate of Ar.	10
16	17	Sometimes the forces of Ar would drive the men of Pa-Kur back against the defensive stakes, and once they drove them to take refuge across the now constructed siege bridges spanning the great ditch.	10
16	22	On the ninth day of the siege the sky belonged to Pa-Kur, and the forces of Ar no longer emerged from the great gate.	10
16	37	Within the towers, sweating, naked siege slaves, under the frenzied whips of their overseers, hauled on the great chains that swung the mighty steel rams into the wall and back.	10
16	44	On the twentieth day of the siege there was great rejoicing in the camp of Pa-Kur, because in one place the wires had been cut and a squad of spearmen had reached the main siege reservoir, emptying their barrels of toxic kanda, a lethal poison extracted from one of Gor's desert shrubs.	10
16	97	I made my way to the interior perimeter of the second ditch, opposite the great gate of Ar in the distance.	10
17	60	Near dawn, to the brave sound of tarn drums, a mighty procession left the camp of Pa-Kur, and as it crossed the main bridge over the first ditch, I saw in the distance the great gate of Ar slowly opening.	10
17	66	I was puzzled as the great procession halted and a palanquin was borne forward by eight members of the Caste of Assassins.	10
17	101	I strode meaningfully to the great tarn cot at the entrance to Mintar's compound and demanded my tarn.	10
17	110	It would buy one of the great birds themselves, or as many as five slave girls.	10
17	114	Then, with the first flush of joy I had felt in weeks, I brought the great bird soaring into the sky.	10
18	17	In a matter of perhaps less than a minute I hovered over the summit of the interior wall near the great gate.	10
18	31	"You welcome him," I said scornfully, "by opening the great gate, but you have not retracted the tarn wire.	10
18	39	Soon the great winches were in motion and, foot by foot, the frightful netting of tarn wire began to sag.	10
18	65	I streaked from the walls of Ar, noting with dismay that the procession of Pa-Kur was only a short distance from the great gate.	10
18	69	There were several, easily visible from above because of their broad, circular form, much like a great well sunk in the earth.	10
18	97	At the same time from the escarpment came a smooth, rolling sound as a great weight was effortlessly balanced and lifted by hydraulic means.	10
18	99	An enormous slab, perhaps fifty feet square, had slid upward and backward, revealing a great, dim, squarish tunnel beyond, a tunnel large enough for a flying tarn.	10
18	102	Turning it, I closed the great gate behind me, thinking it wise to protect the secret of the tunnel as long as possible.	10
18	135	The darting beak lunged at me again and again; the great claws grasped.	10
18	137	In that instant a great black shape hurtled into the fray, and the tarn had met his match.	10
18	139	With one of the great steel-shod talons on the body of his fallen foe, my tarn emitted the challenge scream of his kind.	10
18	149	In the great hall I could hear the fearful noise of unnatural carnage, the screams of the men, the screams of the tarns, the hiss of arrows, the wild blows of wings and talons.	10
19	2	The great birds, fed, were once again as tractable as such monsters ever are, and with the tarn-goads Marlenus and his men were again in command.	10
19	4	He lifted a tile in the floor of the great hall and revealed a valve; with it, he closed the secret door through which the tarns had come.	10
19	30	I noted grimly, as I flew, that large portions of the horde of Pa-Kur were crossing the great bridges over the first ditch and moving toward the city, the sunlight flashing on their weaponry.	10
19	44	The great wings smote the air twice, raising a small hurricane that caused the startled onlookers to stagger backward.	10
19	54	"Men of Ar," I cried, "behold!" I gestured widely to the fields beyond the great gate.	10
19	76	"Stop!" A great, solemn, hollow voice boomed.	10
19	93	Except for the wind, there was no sound on the great cylinder.	10
19	168	Suddenly there was a sound like thunder and a great shadow was cast across the roof of the cylinder, as if the sun had been obscured by clouds.	10
19	174	Thousands of the great birds, their wings clapping like thunder, were descending on the city, flying onto the bridges and down to the streets, darting among those spires no longer protected with the terrible defense of the tarn wire.	10
19	176	Across the bridges of the great ditch, rivers of warriors were flowing.	10
19	177	In Ar the men of Marlenus had apparently reached the great gate, for it was slowly closing, locking the garrison inside, separating them from the horde without.	10
19	183	Moreover, with the closing of the great gate, there was no refuge in the city; they were trapped against the walls, packed like cattle for the slaughter, trampling one another, unable to use their weapons.	10
19	226	The Ubar went to his daughter and took her fine head in his great hands.	10
19	253	"It seems I belong to you, bold Tarnsman," she said, "What are you going to do with me?" In answer, I hauled on the one-strap, and the great bird rose into the air, higher and higher, even into the clouds, and she cried to me, "Let it be now, Tarl," and even before we had passed the outermost rampar...	10
20	30	When I returned to Ko-ro-ba with Talena, a great feast was held and we celebrated our Free Companionship.	10
20	70	Two or three times a year I have returned to the mountains of New Hampshire, to look again on that great flat rock, to spend a night there, in case I might see once again that silver disk in the sky, in case once again I might be summoned by the Priest-Kings to that other world.	10

Book 2. (94 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
14	39	I saw the great wings snap, smiting the air, the hurricane from their blow spilling slaves into the sand, tangling chains, as the great beast, lifting its head and smelling the open air, struck it with his wings.	10
20	39	I had seen its shadow and feared it was wild, and had prepared to sell my life dearly, but the great beast, my own plumed giant, who may have haunted the Pillar of Exchanges for weeks, settled on the plains no more than thirty yards from me, its great wings shaking, and stalked to my side.	10
1	40	He spun like a tiger with a sudden cry of rage in some strange tongue and I found myself seized in hands like steel and with great force hurled helplessly across his knee, my spine an inch from being splintered like kindling wood.	10
1	128	Cabot, still half-drunk, looked about himself, at the brutal electric geometry of that great city, at the dark, lonely shapes that moved through the light snow, at the pale glimmering headlights of the cars.	10
1	129	"This is a great city," said Cabot, "and yet it is not loved.	10
1	136	He turned and I sensed that he was glad that I had called to him, that my company on that night meant a great deal to him.	10
2	43	When a Gorean says, for example, that he is of Ar, or Ko-ro-ba, he is doing a great deal more than informing you of his place of residence.	10
2	54	The simplest and humblest village, and even the most primitive hut in that village, perhaps only a cone of straw, will contain its own Home Stone, as will the fantastically appointed chambers of the Administrator of so great a city as Ar.	10
3	6	The Gorean, having little idea of progress in our sense, takes great care in his building and workmanship.	10
3	9	Indeed, even the main roads to Ko-ro-ba were a far cry from the great highways that led to and from a metropolis like Ar.	10
3	10	Surprisingly, though the pasang stones told me I was close to Ko-ro-ba, stubborn tufts of grass were growing between the stones, and occasional vines were inching out, tendril by tendril, across the great stone blocks.	10
3	106	The great fists holding the cords of the bundle of wood turned white; the sticks rattled in the bundle.	10
3	110	His hands fumbled on the cords and the great bundle of wood loosened and clattered to the stone flooring of the road.	10
3	116	I could not understand his fear, but I was proud to see him master it, for fear is the great common enemy of all living things, and his victory I felt somehow was also mine.	10
5	13	And as my cry parted from my lips there was a great flash of lightning and the valley between the hills stood stark and white and I saw the valley was empty.	10
6	58	One cruel courtesan in the great city of Ar, now little more than a toothless, wrinkled hag, boasted that more than four hundred men had died because of her beauty.	10
6	70	That night, at a great feast, he displays the captive, now suitably attired by his sisters in the diaphanous, scarlet dancing silks of Gor.	10
6	78	As soon as the lock closes, there is a great shout, congratulating, saluting the young man.	10
6	139	She seemed to take no great interest in me, or her fate.	10
8	10	Even men of a caste as low as that of the Tarn-Keepers were intolerably proud of their calling, for who else could raise and train those monstrous birds of prey? I supposed Zosk the Woodsman was proud in the knowledge that he with his great broad-headed ax could fell a tree in one blow, and that per...	10
9	58	I stood before the great gate of Tharna.	10
9	147	There was a great roar of laughter.	10
9	154	Even the proprietor slept, his head across his folded arms on the counter, behind which stood the great Kal-da brewing pots, at last empty and cold.	10
11	174	"Mercy, Great Dorna!" screamed Ost.	10
12	18	I might crawl to it on my belly, and if my hunger were great enough, I knew I must, but the thought angered me.	10
12	49	"I will be sent from the city, to the Great Farms, where I will carry water to Field Slaves".	10
12	85	"A handful of bread for a song," was a common Gorean invitation extended to members of the caste, and it might occur on the lips of a peasant or a Ubar, and the poet took great pride that he would sing the same song in both the hut of the peasant and the halls of the Ubar, though it won for him only...	10
12	99	"It means one is made welcome in Tharna," said the girl, "and this means one is sent to the Great Farms to be a Field Slave, to cultivate the soil of Tharna in chains until one dies".	10
12	127	It was decreed that I must lose my silver mask, don the camisk and be collared, and be sent to the Great Farms to carry water to Field Slaves".	10
14	28	Through this portal, in two long lines, lashed by overseers, yoked slaves harnessed in chains drew a great wooden platform mounted on heavy wooden wheels.	10
14	31	Slowly as the creaking platform rolled out onto the sand, drawn by its struggling slaves, yoked like oxen, I saw the tarn revealed, a black giant, hooded, its beak belted together, a great bar of silver chained to one of its legs.	10
14	65	Then the great yellow beak, hooked for rending prey, now belted shut, turned curiously, slowly, toward me.	10
14	96	I knew that I gazed upon one of the great and terrible predators of Gor.	10
14	108	The great beak questioningly touched me.	10
14	110	Yet as its great round eyes regarded me I wondered what thoughts might course through its avian brain.	10
14	113	Gently the great bird thrust its beak beneath my arm.	10
14	116	It shook the leg which was chained to the great silver bar.	10
14	140	The great door through which the tarn had been drawn was also opening, and a line of warriors was hurrying through the opening.	10
14	150	The spearmen seemed frozen, and dropped back, as if the great bird could have freely attacked them.	10
14	181	And there were how many more, yoked and unyoked, bound and free, in the mines, on the Great Farms, in the city itself who suffered the misery of Tharna and her laws, who were subject to the crushing weight of her traditions, and knew at best nothing better in life than a bowl of cheap Kal-da at the ...	10
14	190	The great sable tarn, upon hearing the cry of "Tabuk!", to my joy, began to describe its long, soaring hunting circles, almost as if it might have received its training yesterday.	10
14	191	It was truly a tarn of tarns, my Ubar of the Skies! It was a desperate plan I had seized upon, no more than one chance in a million, unless the great tarn could tip the scales in my favor.	10
14	192	Its wicked eyes gleamed, scanning the ground, its head and beak thrust forward, its wings still, gliding silently in great sweeps, lower and lower, over the gray towers of Tharna.	10
14	197	"Tabuk!" The great predator wheeled in the sky, turning as smoothly as a knife on wire.	10
14	199	Its talons, shod with steel, dropped like great hooks; it seemed to tremble almost motionless in the air; and then its wings, parallel, lifted, almost enfolding me, and were still.	10
14	211	Its steel-shod pinioning talons closed like great hooks on the body of the screaming Tatrix.	10
15	12	The great bird veered to the left and began to climb slightly.	10
15	16	I said no more and the bird leveled off, its wings striking the air in great rhythmical beats, alternating occasionally with a long, soaring, shallow glide.	10
15	18	Spontaneously, without thinking, I threw my arms around the neck of the great creature and hugged it.	10
15	53	The great bird paused in flight, braking with its wings, and then smoothly descended to a high ledge on one of the ridges, a ledge commanding the countryside for pasangs around, a ledge accessible only on tarnback.	10
15	61	"Tabuk!" I cried again, taking the great beak in my hands and turning it toward the open fields below.	10
15	64	With one last look at the Tatrix, the bird turned and stalked to the brink of that awesome ledge and, with a single snap of its great wings, leaped into space, its soaring shadow a message of terror to any game below.	10
15	226	In that moment the shadow of the tarn covered the ledge and, with a great beating of wings, the monster rejoined us.	10
15	227	In its talons it held a great piece of meat, bloody and raw, which had been torn from some kill, perhaps a bosk more than twenty pasangs away.	10
15	228	It dropped the great piece of meat before me.	10
15	230	I had no wish to contest this prize with the great bird.	10
15	235	The great beak nudged the meat against my legs.	10
16	22	The great giant landed on the marble pillar, its steel-shod talons ringing on the stone.	10
17	57	With a rattle of chain and a roll of his great shoulders, Kron stretched himself out as well as he could in the cramped quarters.	10
17	61	"On one of the Great Farms," he said.	10
18	77	"I have a plan," I said, "but it will require great courage, and you may all die".	10
18	81	Ost shrieked with terror, and Kron's great fist shut on his windpipe, silencing him.	10
18	158	"Get them out of the cell!" But my last words were drowned in a hurtling plunging cataract of water that shattered on my body like a great fist, knocking my breath out.	10
19	40	We had soon come on the hammers that would strike our chains from us and, one by one, we filed past the great anvil where Kron of Tharna, of the Caste of Metal Workers, with expert blows, struck them from our wrists and ankles.	10
19	45	We could see the great chains dangling down the shaft, outlined by the small lamps in the openings of other mines above us, and, very high above, by the white reflection of moonlight.	10
19	59	I climbed one of the great chains to the huge windlass set above the shaft and found myself among hundreds of cheering men, their chains struck off, their hands boasting weapons even if only a piece of jagged rock or a pair of shackles.	10
19	62	I stood upon the brink of the great shaft and felt the wind of the cold night upon me.	10
19	65	I saw the great valve which I knew would flood the mines of Tharna, and saw that it remained closed.	10
19	72	"Men of Tharna," I cried, "and of the Cities of Gor, you are free!" There was a great cheer.	10
19	90	"In this cause," I said, "whether you are of the Caste of Peasants, or Poets, or Metal Workers, or Saddle-Makers, you must be warriors!" "We shall," said Kron of Tharna, his fist holding the great hammer with which he had struck off our shackles.	10
19	103	He held that great hammer in his massive fists like a lance across his body.	10
19	113	"Well," said he, "I have tried the Mines of Tharna, and now I think I shall try the Great Farms".	10
20	6	I knew that I didn't have a great deal of time, for the avenging tarnsmen of Tharna would soon be visible against the three moons.	10
20	22	Perhaps not of great value, but worth taking.	10
20	96	Protesting, screaming, the great bird began to reel helplessly downward.	10
20	111	I thought those great eyes looked at me reproachfully.	10
20	129	The great head moved quizzically and dipped to the ground, rubbing against my leg.	10
20	134	The great bird stalked away from me, about fifteen yards, and then turned, looking at me again.	10
21	98	On the other hand, I have known of several cases in which a proud, insolent woman, even one of great intelligence, who resisted a master to the very touch of the iron, once branded became instantly a passionate and obedient Pleasure Slave.	10
21	160	Then an expression of great sadness transformed his fat ball of a face.	10
21	229	And many of the cities of Gor were represented on that chain, sometimes spoken of as the Slaver's Necklace—there was a blond girl from lofty Thentis, a dark-skinned girl with black hair that fell to her ankles from the desert city of Tor, girls from the miserable streets of Port Kar in the de...	10
22	110	"In these dreams I had been proud in my palace surrounded by my council and warriors and then, shattering the roof like glass, a great tarn descended, bearing a helmeted warrior.	10
22	111	He scattered my council and defeated my armies and took me and stripped me and bound me naked across the saddle of his bird and then, with a great cry, he carried me to his city, and there I, once proud Tatrix of Tharna, wore his brand and collar".	10
23	75	The revolt of the slaves had spread from the mines to the Great Farms.	10
23	84	Those round blazing eyes regarded me, those great wings lifted and shook, his beak was lifted to the sky and he screamed the shrill cry of the tarn.	10
23	86	I did not move and that great terrible beak closed gently on my arm.	10
23	100	The slaves, forewarned of their approach by other slaves or by impoverished peasants, supplanted by the Great Farms, would have made good their departure, only to strike when ready, when unexpected and in strength.	10
23	104	Perhaps in time, however, the undisciplined but courageous bands of slaves would have been scattered and destroyed by the units of Tharna, save that the very revolution which had begun in the mines and spread to the Great Farms now flamed in the city itself.	10
23	228	Thus borne aloft, from street to street, in the midst of joyous shouting, weapons raised on all sides in salute, my ears ringing with the plowing song, once a song of the freeholds of Tharna, long since supplanted by the Great Farms, I found myself brought to that fateful Kal-da shop I remembered so...	10
23	231	His great hammer was slung from his belt and his blue eyes glistened with happiness.	10
25	12	Our reflections fought one another in the shimmering surface of the great golden mask behind the throne.	10
26	5	I shall strike with my spear upon the gate and the gate will open, and as I enter I will hear the mournful sound of the great hollow bar that hangs by the gate, signifying that another of the Men Below the Mountains, another mortal man, has dared to enter the Sardar.	10
26	30	The men of Tharna watched almost in disbelief as the great mask loosened, bolt by bolt, from the wall, leaned forward and at last, dragged down by its own weight, broke loose and plunged clattering down the steps of the throne, breaking into a hundred pieces.	10
26	36	The wood of the great gate has been polished and its brass burnished.	10

4	136	Then again came the sound of that great unseen gong, that distant sound, dull, penetrating, reverberating even in the vastness of the great hall in which we stood.	10
5	225	"When I am alone," she said, "I pretend that I am free, that I am a great lady, the Ubara of a great city, even of Ar—but when a man enters my chamber, then again I am only a slave".	10
11	1	Sarm the Priest-King I turned from the railing to observe the great ramp which for pasangs in a great spiral approached the platform on which I stood.	10
19	97	"In the accomplishing of this matter you do a great service to the Nest and to Priest-Kings, and thereby will you gain great glory for yourself and a life of honor and riches, the first of which will be the slave girl Vika of Treve".	10
28	166	When the lights flickered and then burst into clear, vital radiance there was a great cheer from the humans in Misk's camp, with the exception of the Gur Carriers, to whom the energy bulbs were not of great importance.	10
35	41	He had been a great enemy, a great Priest-King, and had lived as he had thought he should.	10
1	13	It was not far to the fair of En'Kara, one of the four great fairs held in the shadow of the Sardar during the Gorean year, and I soon walked slowly down the long central avenue between the tents, the booths and stalls, the pavilions and stockades of the fair, toward the high, brassbound timber gate...	10
1	30	In so far as I have been able I have checked into these matters with great care.	10
1	101	He had, as a man, lifted his fist against the might of Priest-Kings and so he had died, defiantly, though horribly, with great nobility.	10
2	24	On each side of the huge gate there stood a great windlass and chain, and to each windlass a gang of blinded slaves was manacled.	10
2	33	At last there was a great creak and the vast portal parted a hand's breadth and then the width of a shoulder and the width of a man's body.	10
2	40	I looked behind myself in time to see the great gate close.	10
2	121	On the other hand if I were under the larl I would have a brief but clean strike at the great, pounding, eight-valved heart that lies in the center of its breast.	10
3	9	The four nostril slits of each animal were flared and their great chests lifted and fell with the intensity of their excitement.	10
3	15	Two great clawed paws smote my shield and hurled me twenty feet against the cliff.	10
4	14	I found myself on the brink of entering what appeared to be a great and perfect dome, having a diameter I am sure of at least a thousand yards.	10
4	19	In this great dome there was nothing save that at its very center there was a high dais and on this dais there was a large throne carved from a single block of stone.	10
4	21	Our footsteps echoed hollowly across the great stone floor.	10
4	137	With a cry of terror Parp cast one last wild glance about the Hall of Priest-Kings and stumbled behind the great throne.	10
4	155	Then seized by an impulse I sat myself down on the great throne in the Hall of Priest-Kings, drew my sword and placed it across my knees.	10
5	11	There was no door on the room but there was a great portal, perhaps twelve feet wide and eighteen feet high.	10
5	102	"Look!" she said, pointing to the great threshold.	10
5	137	I thought that the Priest-Kings possessed great wealth and that I, with my beauty—" she turned and looked at me and threw back her head—"for I am beautiful, am I not?" I looked at her.	10
5	251	I could understand that she, a proud, intelligent girl, could not but resent the indignities of her position, being forced to serve with the full offices of the slave girl whomsoever the Priest-Kings might see fit to send to her chamber, but yet I found in these grievances, great though they might b...	10
6	94	Vika had unrolled a straw mat which she placed on the floor at the foot of the great stone couch in the chamber.	10
7	3	She followed me almost to the portal, and I can remember how the sensors set in that great threshold in the dimmed light of the energy bulbs began to glow and pulse as she neared them.	10
7	38	Probably her caste had been that of the Builders or Physicians, for had her people been Scribes I would have expected a greater subtlety of inflections, the use of less common grammatical cases; and had her people been of the Warriors I would have expected a blunter speech, rather belligerently simp...	10
7	39	On the other hand these generalizations are imperfect, for Gorean speech is no less complex than that of any of the great natural language communities of the Earth nor are its speakers any the less diverse.	10
7	50	Lara's lips had been rich and fine, sensitive and curious, tender, eager, hungry; the lips of Vika were maddening; I recalled those lips, full and red, pouting, defiant, scornful, scarlet with a slave girl's challenge to my blood; I wondered if Vika might be a bred slave, a Passion Slave, one of tho...	10
7	58	I wondered how many men had fallen at her feet, how many men she had forced to sleep at the foot of the great stone couch, in the shadow of the slave ring, while she herself reclined on the pelts and silks of the master.	10
7	62	The great chamber reposed in vastness and stillness.	10
7	82	When men stalk one another with weapons it is well to have patience, great patience.	10
8	49	I seized the bowl from her hand and hurled it underhanded up against the bulb which, though it had apparently burned out, shattered with a great flash and hiss of smoke and sparks.	10
8	102	Her tarnsmen were ranked with those of Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, and Ko-ro-ba, even great Ar itself.	10
8	153	The results of these raids might be returned to Treve or sold, perhaps even at the Fair of En'Kara, or another of the four great Sardar Fairs, or, if not, they could always be disposed of easily without question in distant, crowded, malignant Port Kar.	10
8	242	I gently placed Vika on the great stone couch.	10
9	1	The Priest-King I would allow Vika to share the great stone couch, its sleeping pelts, and silken sheets.	10
9	11	And yet on this world I have seen great numbers of women who were both beautiful and splendid.	10
9	21	I had placed Vika gently on the great stone couch.	10
9	78	I looked about the room, at the chests against the wall dim in the reduced light of the energy bulbs, at the walls, at the shattered device in the ceiling, at the broken sensors, at the great, empty portal that led into the passageway beyond.	10
9	234	It had six legs and a great head like a globe of gold with eyes like vast luminous disks.	10
10	9	Apparently hearing is not of great importance, however, to them, considering the small number of hairs modified for this purpose.	10
11	3	The new Priest-King looked a great deal like Misk, save that he was larger.	10
11	56	"Except on the three great holidays," said Misk.	10
11	58	"What are the three great holidays?" I asked.	10
11	122	The disk moved with great swiftness and it was with some difficulty that I managed to stand on my feet, leaning into the blast of air which rushed past me.	10
12	18	"Because it is a great honor to be the slave of Priest-Kings," said Misk.	10
12	234	If it is the wish of a Priest-King that they die they do so with great joy; if it is the wish of a Priest-King that they live, they are similarly delighted".	10
13	110	"Yes," said the other, "and they are fond of it, and are themselves creatures of great reverence for tradition".	10
15	78	At one time we were rich and filled with life and in that time our great patterns were formed and in another time our arts flourished and then for a very long time our only passion was scientific curiosity, but now even that lessens, even that lessens".	10
16	128	"Then it did not lie there for more than three hundred years?" "Of course not," said Misk, "the risk of discovery would have been too great".	10
16	200	I puzzled on the many things which Misk had told me, and then I looked up at him, lifting my torch that I might better see that great head with its rich, disklike, luminous eyes.	10
17	1	The Scanning Room Though the moss in the case was soft I had great difficulty in falling asleep that night, for I could not rid my mind of the turbulence which had been occasioned in it by the disclosures of Misk, the Priest-King.	10
17	4	In fevered sleep it seemed I saw Sarm's great head with its powerful, laterally moving jaws hovering over me, that I heard the cry of larls and saw the burning pupils of Parp's eyes and his reaching toward me with instruments and a golden net, and I found myself chained to the foot of Vika's couch a...	10
18	53	"I do not know a great deal about it," I said.	10
18	87	One of the latter was the power source of the Priest-Kings, the great plant wherein the basic energy is generated for their many works and machines.	10
18	104	At last we had reached the very apex of the great blue dome and I could see the glowing, bluish, refulgent, reticulated hemisphere far below me.	10
20	160	Somehow, unaccountably in spite of my great hatred for her, I was shaking, sweating and trembling.	10
20	195	There is, of course, a natural tendency in the rescued female to feel and demonstrate great gratitude to the man who has saved her life, and the Gorean custom is perhaps no more than an institutionalization of this customary response.	10
20	204	Also of course a Free Companionship might be refused, in all Gorean right, by the girl, and thus a warrior can hardly be blamed, after risking his life, for not wanting to risk losing the precious prize which he has just, at great peril to himself, succeeded in winning.	10
21	53	I could now see the Priest-Kings clearly where they clung upside down to the ceiling, their great swollen abdomens almost dwarfing their thoraxes and heads.	10
22	9	I heard the other bar drop with a great clang to the floor.	10
22	39	"A heart for example?" "Nothing that will be of great use," said Misk.	10
22	79	"This will be a great deal safer," he said, and added, unnecessarily to my mind, "and probably a good deal less noisy".	10
22	176	"And," he said, peering down at me, his luminous eyes intent, "it would be a great crime to kill one".	10
24	20	I seized the Mul-Torch from between the stones where I had placed it and, with a great shout, thrust it towards the creature's face.	10
24	27	This withdrawal on its part, of course, would not in the least prevent it from using its great jaws to attack, but it would, I supposed, somewhat narrow the area of its sensory awareness.	10
25	119	In none of the cases did I spy a tarn, one of the great, predatory saddle birds of Gor, perhaps because they do not thrive well in captivity.	10
25	146	"You have risked a great deal," she said, "to thong the wrists of a girl".	10
26	61	It must have been a great shock for Vika to see herself as she now was.	10
27	65	There was no sound to celebrate the Feast of Tola but I had little difficulty in locating the scene of the celebration, for I soon encountered a shaft, one of those through which used air is pumped out of the tunnels, which was rich in unusual and penetrating scents, of a sort which my stay with Mis...	10
27	70	The Priest-Kings stood motionless in great circling, tiered rows which spread concentrically outward as though from a stage in an ancient theater.	10
27	72	There were perhaps hundreds of knobs on each side and one Priest-King on each side with great skill and apparent rhythm touched one knob after another in intricate patterns.	10
27	73	I had little doubt but that these Priest-Kings were the most highly regarded musicians of the Nest, that they should be chosen to play together on the great Feast of Tola.	10
27	96	There, from a great golden bowl, about five feet deep and with a diameter of perhaps twenty feet, setting on a heavy tripod, he would take a bit of whitish liquid, undoubtedly Gur, in his mouth.	10
27	99	With great gentleness he would then touch her head with his antennae.	10
27	124	Together, in silence to human ears but to the swelling intensities of scent-music, in stately, stalking procession the two Priest-Kings approached the Mother, and I saw Misk, first, dip his mouth to the great golden bowl on its tripod and then approach her.	10
27	150	With a speed that I still find hard to comprehend Sarm rushed upon Misk and after a blurring moment I saw them on their posterior supporting appendages locked together rocking slowly back and forth, trying to bring those great golden, laterally chopping jaws into play.	10
27	154	Suddenly Sarm charged at Misk and slashed down at him with one of those bladelike projections on his forelegs and leaped away even before I saw the green-filled wound opening on the left side of one of those great, compound luminous disks on Misk's head.	10
27	169	Their jaws locked together, the great heads twisting.	10
27	179	Misk slowly turned away from Sarm and with slow, delicate steps approached the Mother, before whom he stood, great chunks of greenish coagulated body fluid marking the wounds on his body.	10
27	190	But Sarm looked about himself to the golden rows of immobile Priest-Kings who watched him and then, satisfied, he opened those great, laterally moving jaws and advanced slowly on Misk.	10
27	215	The golden disks on his great globular head seemed to flicker and they fastened themselves upon me.	10
27	234	"It is a great crime to kill one".	10
27	245	"It is a great crime to threaten a Priest-King," he said.	10
27	248	"If you are dead," I asked, "how will you have them sent to the dissection chambers?" "It is a great crime to kill a Priest-King," said Sarm.	10
27	254	"No," said the Mother, and the message again came from Sarm's own translator, and was echoed a thousand times by those of the other Priest-Kings in the great chamber.	10
27	271	He regarded Sarm and his cohorts, and his great laterally chopping jaws opened and closed once.	10
27	350	Amazed, I stepped away from her and went to the great golden bowl on its heavy tripod and took out a few drops of the precious liquid in the palm of my hand and returned to her.	10
27	352	Her great jaws moved slowly apart and I saw the long, soft tongue that lay behind them.	10
27	362	Then before my horrified eyes the carcass of that ancient she began to shiver and tremble and I stood back as she struggled to my amazement to her feet and reared herself to the height of a Priest-King, her antennae extended to their very lengths as though grasping, clutching, trying to sense someth...	10
27	367	Then slowly the great form sank to the platform and the body no longer trembled and the antennae lay limp on the stone.	10
28	82	Hundreds of pairs of those great, round dark eyes stared at her.	10
28	144	Some men from the Fungus Chambers carried on their backs great bags filled with choice spores, and others labored under the burdens of huge baskets of freshly reaped fungus, slung on poles between them; and those from the Pastures drove before them with long pointed goads huge, shambling gray arthro...	10
28	245	If we had used it immediately, decisively, we might have wrought great damage, but neither of us wished to take the enemy by devastating surprise if victory might be won without bloodshed.	10
29	21	I took a long run and with a great bound cleared the ditch by perhaps two feet and was soon speeding on my way to Misk's workshop.	10
29	144	Did it wish me to comb the antennae? Was it conscious? Was it mad with pain? I stood not understanding and then the Priest-King did what he wished: with a toss of his great golden head he hurled his antennae against my blade, cutting them from his head, and then, after a moment, having closed himsel...	10
30	61	The creature Parp spent a great deal of time in the vicinity, puffing on that small pipe, keeping it lit interminably with the tiny silver lighter which I had once mistaken for a weapon.	10
30	79	The danger became so great that all the Implanted Muls, including even the creature Parp, were sent into the streets to protect Sarm's Priest-Kings.	10
30	174	Sarm, who was normally in the room, seemed to take great pleasure in Vika's baiting me, for he would stand by, antennae curling, as she would insult me, taunt me, sometimes strike me with her small fist.	10
31	100	Misk covered my body with his own and then with his great strength, reared up, stones falling from his back like water from the body of a swimmer.	10
31	114	In less than a minute I had kicked open another grille and dropped inside the great domed room of the Power Plant.	10
31	120	I looked up to see Sarm on that narrow passage that traced its precarious way around the great blue dome that covered the power source.	10
31	151	I saw him toss the silver tube away, and saw it fall through one of the great holes he had blasted in the globe and disappear in the violent, bubbling purple mass seething below.	10
31	198	The narcotic odor emanating from that lifted, waving mane shook even me though I stood in the midst of free air on the top of that great blue globe.	10
31	208	"It is a great crime to kill one".	10
31	225	Once, as though by some supreme effort of will, Sarm, who was a great Priest-King, lifted his head from the golden hair and stared at me.	10
32	17	There was a great splitting sound and the entire side of the globe cracked open and began to pour forth its avalanche of thick, molten fluid into the room.	10
32	21	But the Priest-King paid me no attention, trying to move a great block of stone which had fallen across one of the supporting appendages of the dead Sarm.	10
32	27	Together Misk and I, as the blue lavalike mass began to hiss over the rubble bubbling towards us, forced aside the great block of stone and Misk tenderly gathered up the broken carcass of Sarm in his forelegs and he and I sped toward the opening, and the blue molten flux of burning, seething, hissin...	10
32	41	A great opening, from the sides of which stones still fell, had appeared in the ceiling of the Nest complex, opening the thick, numerous strata above it until at last through that rupture could be seen the beautiful calm sky of the world above.	10
32	95	I supposed the dust that clung to his thorax and abdomen, that adhered to the sensory hairs on his appendages might be distressing to him, more so perhaps than the fear that he might be totally crushed by one of the great blocks of stone that occasionally fell clattering near us.	10
32	211	When the door opened I found myself once more in the Hall of Priest-Kings, though the great dome above it was now broken and portions of it had fallen to the floor of the hall.	10
32	279	"She is truly a great and beautiful woman".	10
32	318	And Parp uttered a great sob, his head falling against the shoulder of his daughter.	10
32	329	With a sword it would be a great blow.	10
33	1	Out of the Sardar Vika and I, clad in robes cut from the pelt of the snow larl I had slain, set out for the great black gate in the somber timber palisade that encircles the Sardar.	10
33	3	Whereas it had taken four days for me to climb to the lair of Priest-Kings in the Sardar it was on the morning of the second day that Vika and I sighted the remains of the great gate, fallen, and the palisade, now little more than broken and uprooted timbers.	10
33	16	There was a great shout from the crowd when they saw us, and then there was enormous quiet and every pair of eyes in that teeming throng was fixed upon us.	10
33	86	"Now the Priest-Kings blow the breath of my sacrifice as a blessing upon you, letting it travel to the ends of Gor to speak of their wisdom and mercy!" There was a great cry of joy from the crowd and shouts of gratitude to the Priest-Kings.	10
33	113	With great suddenness I realized that what I knew, and what others knew, would make no difference to the world of Gor.	10

8	243	The problem of the young man, and perhaps the reason that he had not yet won even the Courage Scar of the Tuchuks, was that he had fallen into the hands of Turian raiders in his youth and had spent several years in the city; in his adolescence he had, at great risk to himself, escaped from the city ...	10
2	125	The kaiila moves with great rapidity.	10
2	161	Were they men? From my right there came a great laugh.	10
5	9	The Wagon Peoples are fascinated with the future and its signs and though, to hear them speak, they put no store in such matters, yet they do in practice give them great consideration.	10
7	2	Beside the wagon, on a great pole fixed in the earth, stood the Tuchuk standard of the four bosk horns.	10
7	10	There were many Tuchuks, and some others, crowded about the dais, and, standing upon it, about Kutaituchik, there were several men who, from their position on the dais and their trappings, I judged to be of great importance.	10
7	89	Miss Cardwell was little different from thousands of lovely working girls in the great cities of Earth, perhaps more intelligent than many, perhaps prettier than most, but essentially the same, girls living alone or together in apartments, working in offices and studios and shops, struggling to earn...	10
7	155	I suppose, in itself, this meant nothing, but I naturally thought of Port Kar, malignant, squalid Port Kar, which claims suzerainty over the delta, exacting cruel tributes from the rence growers, great stocks of rence paper for trade, sons for oarsmen in cargo galleys, daughters for Pleasure Slaves ...	10
7	158	Saying nothing he handed it back to Kamchak, who seemed to study it with great care, and then, to my amazement, turned it sideways and then upside down.	10
7	204	What Kamchak had said then seemed to make a great deal of sense to me.	10
8	37	From these raids the Wagon Peoples obtain a miscellany of goods which they are willing to barter to the Turians, jewels, precious metals, spices, colored table salts, harnesses and saddles for the ponderous tharlarion, furs of small river animals, tools for the field, scholarly scrolls, inks and pap...	10
8	52	It was the Omen Year, and not a year, apparently, in which to risk war with far peoples, particularly not those of cities like Ar, whose warriors had mastered the tarn and might, from the air, have wrought great destruction on the herds and wagons.	10
8	134	Moreover, even if she is never enslaved, she is familiar with the duties of slaves and what is expected of them; if she should be enslaved she will know, on the whole, what is expected of her, what is permitted her and what is not; moreover, the Gorean girl is literally educated, fortunately or not,...	10
8	203	It is a great honor to a girl to stand as a stake in Tuchuk gambling.	10
8	255	Indeed, I knew that some among the wagons, the girl Hereena, for example, who seemed to bear him a great dislike, had insisted that he, though free, be forced to wear the Kes or the dress of a woman.	10
8	256	Such would have been a great joke among the Tuchuks.	10
8	310	She would receive a start of fifteen beats of the great heart of the kaiila, after which she would be about half way to the lance.	10
8	358	Some girls of the Wagon Peoples in fact, incredible though it seems, are trained exhaustively in the art of evading the bola, and such a girl is worth a great deal to a master, who uses her in wagering.	10
8	510	There was another great cry and cheer from the crowd.	10
9	19	Merchants also, in effect, arrange and administer the four great fairs that take place each year near the Sardar Mountains.	10
9	26	The small blue fish is regarded as a great delicacy, and its liver as the delicacy of delicacies.	10
9	58	He was said to be a great warrior, indeed, to be champion of Turia.	10
9	88	Then, of course, he worried a great deal, and, I grant him, wisely.	10
9	201	My heart was beating with great rapidity.	10
10	234	I straightened up and saw that the lines of the tharlarion lancers had, with much pounding and trampling of the earth, with shouting, with the hissing of the great beasts, stopped short, abruptly, some fifteen yards or so behind their line of stakes.	10
10	247	In a moment, to a thunder of kaiila paws on the turf, racing between the lines of stakes, scattering sand, there came a great number of riders, their black hair swirling behind them, who pulled up on their mounts, rearing and squealing, between the stakes, and leaped from the saddle to the sand, rel...	10
10	259	Now the excitement of the throng seemed mostly to course among the warriors of the Wagon Peoples as they rose in their stirrups to see better the swaying, approaching palanquins, each reputedly bearing a gem of great beauty, a fit prize in the savage contests of Love War.	10
10	264	The secret justification, I suspect, however, is that the Turian warrior is fond of meeting the enemy and acquiring his women, particularly should they be striking little beasts, like Hereena of the First Wagon, as untamed and savage as they are beautiful; it is regarded as a great sport among Turia...	10
10	265	It might also be mentioned that the Turian warrior, in his opinion, too seldom encounters the warrior of the Wagon Peoples, who tends to be a frustrating, swift and elusive foe, striking with great rapidity and withdrawing with goods and captives almost before it is understood what has occurred.	10
10	297	The selection of the girls, incidentally, is determined by judges in their city, or of their own people, in Turia by members of the Caste of Physicians who have served in the great slave houses of Ar; among the wagons by the masters of the public slave wagons, who buy, sell and rent girls, providing...	10
10	544	Kamchak turned to see what I had in mind and to his great good fortune, as he did so, the sun flashed from the blade into the eyes of Kamras, who suddenly threw his arm up, blinking and shaking his head, for the instant blinded.	10
12	13	It did not seem to me a worthy thing to betray the hospitality of Tuchuks by attempting to purloin an object which obviously they held to be of great value.	10
12	14	I wondered if any in the camp of the Tuchuks realized how actually great indeed was the value of that golden sphere, containing undoubtedly the last hope of the people called Priest-Kings.	10
12	28	Once he might have been a great man and warrior but now, somnolent and fat, he thought of little save the contents of a golden kanda box.	10
12	109	"But would that not be a great deal of trouble," asked Kamchak, "and might one not stain the rug?" "Perhaps we could mash them in a bowl," I suggested.	10
12	146	Aphris got up and fetched not a skin, but a bottle, of wine, Ka-la-na wine, from the Ka-la-na orchards of great Ar itself.	10
12	210	They were in good humor and were laughing and moving their hands about as they regaled one another with accounts of their recent deeds, of which there were plainly a great many, it being the most active season for caravan raiding.	10
12	240	In spite of the hobble, Aphris, in the yellow camisk, black hair flowing behind her, was kneeling alertly by Kamchak's side, looking about her with great interest.	10
12	262	"If my master will permit," said the girl, with great apparent sincerity, "at his feet".	10
12	301	Then she had to breathe and a great draught of paga burned its way down her throat making her gasp and cough.	10
12	481	Somehow I thought of her still as the frightened girl in the yellow shift—caught up in games of war and intrigue beyond her comprehension and, to a great extent, mine.	10
14	53	Surely great Ar was not at war with the Tuchuks of the southern plains.	10
14	86	"He was once a great warrior," he said.	10
14	107	"He was a great man!" cried Kamchak.	10
14	108	"Once he was a great man!" I nodded.	10
16	162	"I would introduce our hooded friend," explained Saphrar, "but even I do not know his name nor face—only that he stands high among the Paravaci and accordingly has been of great use to me".	10
16	311	It would not then have required great intelligence to suspect that I might have come to fetch the egg or eggs of Priest-Kings.	10
18	1	The Pleasure Gardens At the very instant that Saphrar had called out there was a great blast of steam and fumes that seemed to explode from the fluid about me as though the monster in which I found myself had now, its prey satisfactorily entrapped, dared to respire and, at the same time, I felt the...	10
19	88	He seemed to make a great deal of noise.	10
20	102	He had already released two of the great birds, driving them from the roof with a tarn goad.	10
20	105	He sent one more of the great birds winging from the roof.	10
20	126	There were two of the great birds left on the roof, both fine specimens, huge, vicious, alert.	10
20	143	Then, without waiting, uttering a great cry, he hauled on the one-strap.	10
21	17	In a few minutes the great pole of the standard had been mounted on the wagon and was descending the hill, leaving on the summit the burned wood and the black ashes that had been the wagon of Kutaituchik, surrendering them now to the wind and the rain, to time and the snows to come, and to the green...	10
21	46	To my great surprise the gates of Turia stood open after the withdrawal of the wagons and the lifting of the siege.	10
21	150	To my disappointment, they continued to check every outgoing person and wagon with great care, demanding proof of identity and business.	10
21	261	They were approaching with great rapidity.	10
21	277	The men on the windlass platform were slowly swinging the great double gates shut as much as possible.	10
21	306	The great alarm bars of the city were now ringing, struck by iron hammers.	10
21	348	Some dozen dismounted Tuchuks were now at the great windlass on its platform slowly opening the gates to their maximum width, and when they had done so the Tuchuks, howling and waving their lances, entered the city in ranks of twenty abreast, thus only five ranks to the Hundred.	10
22	27	The standing wall about the compound kept the Tuchuk bowmen far enough from the roof of the keep within that tarns might, without too great a danger, enter and leave the compound.	10

12	99	The racing tarn, interestingly, is an extremely light bird; two men can lift one; even its beak is narrower and lighter than the beak of a common tarn or a war tarn; its wings are commonly broader and shorter than those of the other tarns, permitting a swifter takeoff and providing a capacity for ex...	10
