21	133	"Grendel," I said to him.	10
21	144	It seemed to me not unlikely that the Grendel of legend had been a Kur, a survivor perhaps of a forced landing or a decimated scouting party.	10

21	405	The attacker then roared and rushed forward, and, as it advanced, but feet from Grendel, Grendel setting himself to accept the charge, the attacker suddenly twisted to the side and, with one clawed foot, swept a great storm of sand toward Grendel, a blasting flight of particles that might have stunn...	10
63	142	The leader of the cattle humans, blood about his teeth, where he had bitten his prey, was seized in the mighty paws of Lord Grendel, lifted high in the air, and then flung to the earth, this breaking the back and neck of the leader of the cattle humans, who was then, as Lord Grendel had not loosened...	10
73	212	Nonetheless, as this was not known to Cabot and Lord Grendel, or not known for certain, Lord Grendel, by means of intermediaries, guards, and such, made certain that the slave was well aware of the victory of Lord Arcesilaus, the appearance of Lord Grendel in the capital, that of a human commander, ...	10
80	244	"Lord Grendel, turn about, and see! Look, Lord Grendel, look!" Lord Grendel slowly, trembling, turned about.	10
6	1	A Conversation with Grendel "It is here," said Grendel, "in this vestibule, that you are to await the summons of the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World".	10
21	406	But Grendel who had anticipated this device hurled himself to the sand below this flighted granular torrent, and swept his bar across the sand, striking the now-again-turned attacker frontally across the legs, some inches above the ankles, and the attacker, with a bellow of agony, fell forward into ...	10
21	407	Grendel then rose to his feet, slowly, deliberately, and, as the crippled attacker watched, and lifted his arms to defend himself, Grendel struck down with his bar, shattering through the fending arms, and breaking the head open as one might have beaten a hammer into a crusted larma.	10
21	497	Did it truly think the struggle was for the weapon? Did it not understand that the struggle was for who should live and who should die? Suddenly Grendel released the weapon and thrust out his massive clawed paw and the fingers of his right paw thrust through the left eye of the Kur and the rest of t...	10
21	575	"The experiment, the outcome of which was Grendel," said Peisistratus, "turned out badly, Grendel failing to be such as to be accepted by humans as a leader.	10
31	89	"Grendel, Lord Grendel," she said.	10
33	251	"I will fight, too," said Grendel, lifting his hands, from which the claws emerged, like knives, "for I am Kur!" "It is coming!" said Grendel, as one of the monsters, indeed, the first who had visited the raft, it seems, cleaved toward the raft, the water sliding from its back on both sides, sparkli...	10
43	83	With a roar of rage, a bleeding Lord Grendel flung himself on the butcher, and with a single bite tore away the butcher's right paw, it still grasped on the tool, and Lord Grendel lifted the butcher over his head, and flung him to the lower level, where he fell among the slaughtered cattle, howling ...	10
44	172	Grendel's jaws then closed a little more, and Cabot fully expected to see pounding, driven, surging blood, released, suddenly gush and spatter forth, drenching Lord Grendel and the grass for yards about, spurting from the opened throat of a half-severed head.	10
44	294	"I am Grendel," said Lord Grendel.	10
46	141	"But," said Cabot, "as Lord Grendel once called to my attention, 'What is Kur'?" "Desist, desist," said Lord Grendel.	10
47	63	"Grendel!" called Cabot, as Lord Grendel folded his wings and gently came to rest on the ledge beside him.	10
55	29	Lord Grendel suddenly lifted his head, and the large, pointed ears turned, as one, in a given direction, cupped, leaning forward, intent, toward the open plain, that not so far from the hemisphere of rocks, amongst which lay, concealed, a womb tunnel, indeed, that very womb tunnel in which Lord Gren...	10
55	213	Then Cabot, for the first time, heard the sound which had been noted earlier by Lord Grendel and Statius, and, at almost the same time, saw a small, struggling body in the grasp of one of the cattle humans, and he then heard the sound again, and again, as the small body was lifted and shaken in fury...	10
56	81	"Grendel, are you here? Where are you?" "We must congratulate Agamemnon," said Lord Grendel.	10
57	1	What Occurred in the Camp of Lord Grendel The gate of the forest camp of Lord Grendel swung open, and an astonished, elated Peisistratus, who had governed the camp in the absence of its lord, rushed forward, stumbling, half-speechless, bewildered.	10
57	2	"Dear Grendel!" he cried, "we had report that your plan had failed, and your command destroyed, wiped out, each and every one of our fellows, in the Vale of Destruction! Praise the Priest-Kings! You, and Cabot, and some others, Statius, I see, and some few, have escaped!" "Praise the Nameless One, i...	10
57	40	"Glory to our cause!" In the threshold of the camp, startled, and seemingly jubilant, stood Flavion, who then rushed forward to embrace Lord Grendel, Cabot, Statius, Archon, and others, and then he bounded about, leaping into the air, uttering screeches of pleasure, and then, alighting, again and ag...	10
60	30	"What then, noble Lord Grendel," said Flavion, "is to be done?" "What would you suggest?" said Lord Grendel.	10
62	15	And, if it was not undertaken, many in Grendel's forces would be convinced that it should have been undertaken, and thus the standing of the generalship of Grendel is reduced".	10
63	17	"Dear Lord Grendel, beloved commander," said Flavion, "believe me, I know nothing of this!" Lord Grendel shook with rage, his fangs emerged, his ears darted back, smoothly against his head.	10
63	122	The head of one of the cattle humans was burned away but inches from the chest of Lord Grendel, and another cattle human's chest was burned through, in such a way that a portion of Lord Grendel's harness was blackened, and hair singed from his shoulder.	10
81	72	"Do not call me Lord Grendel any longer, dear friend," said Lord Grendel.	10
4	74	"Perhaps you should think of him less as Caliban," said Cabot, "and more as Grendel".	10
4	76	One takes it from the context that a Grendel might be less patient, or more menacing, or more dangerous, than a Caliban, whatever such things might be.	10
4	77	Also, interestingly, as clarified later, Cabot conjectured that an entity spoken of as "Grendel" had once existed on the Earth, and might have been Kur.	10
5	35	With the group, other than Cabot, Arcesilaus, and Pyrrhus, were the interlocutor, whom we shall call, following an earlier conversation between Cabot and the brunette, Grendel, and one or perhaps two others, depending on how one wishes to count.	10
5	412	At this point the interlocutor, Grendel, as we have chosen to speak of him, who had silently accompanied the group until now, uttered a low, menacing growl.	10
5	423	"Our compatriot," said Arcesilaus, indicating Grendel, "will see you to the stable".	10
5	426	Grendel surlily indicated that Cabot should precede him to the stable, which was not far.	10
5	427	When they arrived there, Cabot entered the stable, and Grendel closed and locked the gate behind him.	10
5	429	In this way he greeted Grendel.	10
5	430	Grendel appeared surprised, but, after a moment, said, "Tal".	10
6	3	"Is there another?" asked Grendel.	10
6	5	"But I am stupid," said Grendel, "a mere beast".	10
6	8	Grendel shook his head, and did not move to touch the translator.	10
6	16	Why am I here? What do you want of me?" Grendel turned off his translator, and turned away.	10
6	18	Suddenly Grendel stopped, but did not turn to face him.	10
6	26	Grendel turned about and crouched down.	10
6	36	Then Grendel retracted his claws.	10
6	44	"I am teaching her to speak," said Grendel.	10
6	52	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
6	55	"She is apt, and zealous," said Grendel.	10
6	57	"You like her?" "She is only a human," said Grendel, "an animal".	10
6	58	"You like her?" "She is a lovely pet," said Grendel.	10
6	60	Grendel turned away.	10
6	62	"Why is she being taught?" "To be more pleasing to you," said Grendel, without turning about.	10
6	65	Grendel turned slowly to face Cabot.	10
6	72	"No!" cried Grendel.	10
6	74	Grendel, in dismay, lifted a paw before his face.	10
6	76	"Your voice," said Cabot, "is not full Kur, nor your eyes!" Grendel suddenly rolled on the tiles howling in pain, and scratched at them, and then was still, crouched down, head moving from side to side, moaning.	10
6	78	"It turned out badly," said Grendel.	10
6	80	Grendel regarded him, puzzled.	10
6	84	"I was not placed in the adhering wombs," said Grendel.	10
6	87	"Yes," said Grendel, "and it was her own egg with which the hereditary coils were enmeshed, the egg then replaced in her body".	10
6	89	"Many interventions of a subtle nature were required to bring this about," said Grendel.	10
6	92	"Was it merely to advance a science, an effort to ascertain its possibilities, its limits?" "They wished to produce something," said Grendel, "which might mediate between Kur and human, something that might speak easily with them, understand them, relate to them, be less feared by them, and by means...	10
6	94	"To fight your battles?" "Certainly," said Grendel.	10
6	96	"It is clearly so," said Grendel.	10
6	98	"If this project were to be successful," said Cabot, "then the territories and resources of Gor would be shared equally by humans and Kurii, as victorious allies?" "Humans are a lesser life form," said Grendel.	10
6	100	"They would then be no longer necessary," said Grendel.	10
6	101	"But they might retain uses," speculated Cabot, "as food animals, and such?" "One supposes so," said Grendel.	10
6	103	"I have been tested with humans," said Grendel.	10
6	116	"True," said Grendel.	10
6	124	"Many things may be given to you," said Grendel.	10
6	128	"You would be wise to accept the gifts which are offered to you," said Grendel.	10
6	130	"She is dead," said Grendel.	10
7	5	Grendel had left the vestibule.	10
8	50	"Many, I trust, have already been answered by our unfortunate Grendel, whose repellant appearance we trust did not overly disgust you, and others by our dear colleague and friend, Peisistratus, of the lovely island of Cos, in Thassa.	10
8	113	"You are perhaps aware of the experiment, whom you refer to, and we have followed your initiative in the matter, Grendel".	10
8	124	"We hoped that Grendel might be acceptable to your species, being taken, in effect, as human, and might well serve us in our relationships with humans, as an intermediary".	10
9	26	Behind her, emerging from the cave, large, half-standing, he saw Grendel.	10
9	46	Cabot looked up and saw Grendel peering over the ledge.	10
9	55	"Beware of Grendel".	10
9	57	Grendel, above, uttered a vocalization, in Kur, and the blonde suddenly turned white, and, turning, scratched her way quickly up the slope, to his side.	10
9	60	"Beware of Grendel," said Peisistratus.	10
10	134	Cabot took this to be a reference to a failed experiment, the outcome of which was Grendel.	10
16	37	Cabot thought of Grendel.	10
16	40	And Peisistratus had made it clear that Grendel wanted the prisoner.	10
18	204	And certainly Arcesilaus knew she was at least to some extent speeched, as he had arranged for this, her tutoring being supplied largely by Grendel.	10
20	134	"You know Grendel?" "Of course".	10
20	173	"By Grendel".	10
20	178	"Grendel himself provided the solution," said Peisistratus.	10
21	281	The first, broad and powerful, half bent over, alert, looking from side to side, was Grendel.	10
21	288	At a gesture from Grendel, the blonde went to all fours, the chain then looped on the cement, save where it looped up to her collar.	10
21	303	"Grendel has refused to sell her to those who wish her harm," said Peisistratus.	10
21	349	"Is Grendel to be unarmed?" asked Cabot.	10
21	354	That challenger then thrust his own bar down, into the sand, some four feet, with a mighty motion, and then, contemptuously, hurled the bar he had been given by the officer toward Grendel.	10
21	355	It descended like a lance, and was arrested, tilted, in the sand, before Grendel.	10
21	357	Grendel bent to retrieve the weapon.	10
21	365	One of the Kur challengers roared and raced across the sand toward Grendel, his weapon held with two hands over his head.	10
21	367	Cabot was familiar with such characteristics, of course, and so, too, one might note, was Grendel.	10
21	371	One end of Grendel's bar was soaked with blood, for better than eighteen inches from its thrusting end.	10
21	387	Grendel came forward, to place himself between the pet and his antagonist.	10
21	390	The second challenger struck downward with his weapon, and Grendel fended the blow but in such a way as not to take the brunt of its weight, but rather to slide it aside.	10
21	396	Grendel did not pursue him.	10
21	399	Grendel and the second attacker then, some yards apart, crouched down, watching one another.	10
21	401	The attacker then began to groom itself, not taking his eyes off Grendel.	10
21	411	Grendel then turned to regard the five remaining challengers.	10
21	414	"Not with Grendel!" cried Peisistratus.	10
21	419	The crowd was howling with rage, but the four continued to advance, and began to spread themselves about, to encircle Grendel, and he could not, of course, defend the pet on more than one side.	10
21	428	Grendel suddenly left the vicinity of the pet on its chain moving with great speed toward the nearest of the attackers, it unwisely now, too eager, some yards in advance of the others.	10
21	430	The foremost attacker's bar struck down into the sand, and Grendel was then behind it and he thrust his weapon into the abdomen of his foe, and literally lifted the Kur from the sand, impaled, and flung his body from the weapon.	10
21	433	At the same moment another of the Kurii rushed toward the pet, who screamed, his bar lifted, to strike down, but Grendel spun about and flung his weapon almost as might a lesser creature have hurled a javelin, and it struck he who threatened the blonde in the back, emerging through his chest, and hi...	10
21	434	At the same time, a side stroke from a bar struck Grendel on the left arm, and the arm jerked, useless, for the moment paralyzed.	10
21	435	Grendel scrambled toward the cement platform, to retrieve a weapon, his or the fallen bar of he who would have smote the pet.	10
21	437	Grendel crouched on the sand.	10
21	446	"Grendel dares not turn his back," said Peisistratus.	10
21	453	Whatever the clue might have been, a pressing of a paw into the sand to gain leverage for a blow, an intake of breath prior to striking, a tiny sound of harness, perhaps even the slick, shifting of a grip, to take advantage of a less-moist, drier surface, Grendel threw himself to the side and the mi...	10
21	457	"If the weapon is stopped, by sand, by the body of the other, it might be seized by Grendel".	10
21	459	"Grendel might," said Cabot.	10
21	461	Grendel's left arm, slowly, surely, doubtless with considerable pain to himself, encircled the throat of the Kur he held, and he drew back a mighty fist, and this fist, with a blow that might have felled a tharlarion, he drove into the back of the Kur's neck, better than two inches, breaking the sku...	10
21	464	The sixth challenger now moved about Grendel, circling, who, weaponless, unwilling to reach for a weapon, and thus expose himself for a blow, turned, crouching, to keep his foe before him.	10
21	465	The challenger was then again between Grendel and the pet.	10
21	466	It was clearly unwilling to turn and attack the pet, for that would expose it to Grendel's attack.	10
21	468	After a few moments the challenger began again, warily, to move, again circling, his clawed feet scarcely disturbing the sand, perhaps not wanting the cement shelf behind him, against which he might stumble, perhaps wanting to have both the pet and Grendel in view.	10
21	475	"Grendel has backed near the platform.	10
21	478	And so Grendel stood, not moving, before the platform.	10
21	483	The sixth challenger, with a grimace of pleasure, lifted his weapon and saluted Grendel.	10
21	486	"Grendel, it seems," said Cabot, "is at last redeemed".	10
21	487	The sixth challenger drew back his great bar and then suddenly it hurtled about in a smooth, sweeping arc within the compass of which stood Grendel.	10
21	491	Grendel had grasped it in its flight.	10
21	494	Then Grendel drew the weapon closer and closer to himself, inch by inch.	10
21	496	"He is being drawn too close to Grendel!" But the Kur was unwise, and was reluctant to surrender the weapon.	10
21	499	Grendel turned to regard her, his long dark tongue moving about, licking the blood about his fangs.	10
21	501	Grendel then went to one of the fallen weapons, picked it up, returned to his kill, and there lifted the weapon, saluting his foe.	10
21	511	His only interest here is to kill Grendel and collect his fee, after which the pet may be dealt with as others please".	10
21	518	"He will face Grendel unarmed?" "No," said Peisistratus.	10
21	523	The champion, Rufus Magnus, shifted the great ax about, easily, from paw to paw, testing its balance, and then, satisfied, he looked across the sand, to where Grendel stood, waiting.	10
21	551	"I cannot see! Light! I cannot see!" "It is Grendel," said Peisistratus.	10
21	563	Below, howling, his left arm lifted, two golden rings now on his left wrist, stood Grendel.	10
21	567	Grendel put back his head and howled in victory, a Kur's cry of triumph.	10
21	573	"Surely it could not have taken place without his permission, or command, but what could be his interest in the matter, the pet, vengeance for a hunt gone wrong?" "It is my speculation," said Peisistratus, "it has more to do with Grendel".	10
21	591	Grendel had now removed the great bar from the sand, and from his antagonist, and cast it aside, into the sand.	10
23	21	"Then you are a pet, that of Grendel".	10
23	80	"Grendel," he said, "loves you, but you probably do not even understand that.	10
23	178	Cabot turned, and found himself facing Grendel.	10
23	180	"To kill you," said Grendel.	10
24	2	"Have you touched her?" asked Grendel.	10
24	4	Grendel's large body trembled with rage.	10
24	6	"Be quick!" "You are chained," said Grendel.	10
24	8	"I will not kill a man in chains," said Grendel.	10
24	13	"You are human, only human!" "Did he hurt you?" asked Grendel, his voice gentle, anomalous in such a form.	10
24	17	"I see no such marks," said Grendel, puzzled.	10
24	21	"You do not love him?" asked Grendel.	10
24	24	"She is not my pet," said Grendel.	10
24	30	"We are all owned, even the free!" "I am not owned," said Grendel.	10
24	33	"Do you not love her?" asked Grendel.	10
24	36	Grendel drew forth a key from his harness.	10
24	41	"The common enemy," said Grendel, "is Agamemnon.	10
24	44	"Bring me clothing!" she demanded, "robes, regalia!" Grendel regarded her.	10
24	47	Grendel returned his attention to Cabot.	10
24	48	Cabot rubbed his wrists, and looked up at Grendel, like a boulder before him.	10
24	51	"It would be better if I did so," said Grendel to Cabot, "for Agamemnon has conceived a thousand variations of a thousand deaths for you".	10
24	53	"We are all doomed," said Grendel.	10
24	55	"Perhaps not you," said Grendel.	10
24	58	"I thought he would take you from me, that you were lovers," said Grendel.	10
24	60	"—I love her," said Grendel.	10
24	63	"Prove you love me! If you love me, kill him! Kill him, for me!" "Because he does not love you?" said Grendel.	10
24	65	"Thousands do not love you," said Grendel.	10
24	67	"I would that I could hate you," said Grendel, "but I cannot.	10
24	72	"If you could stop me from loving you," said Grendel, "you would have succeeded, long ago".	10
24	74	"I do," said Grendel.	10
24	80	"That is what I am," said Grendel "You are less a beast than she," said Cabot.	10
24	84	"I am Bina!" Grendel lifted his head, and regarded her, puzzled.	10
24	86	"As you will," said Grendel.	10
24	87	"And Grendel," she cried, "is the name of a monster!" "So I am given to understand," said he.	10
24	90	"I am Grendel," he said.	10
24	94	"She is not a pet," said Grendel.	10
24	97	"Why do you not collar her, put her to your feet, lash her, and keep her as a slave?" Grendel regarded him, aghast.	10
24	103	"Unthinkable," said Grendel.	10
24	109	"I killed for the key," said Grendel.	10
24	113	"Strange things are going on in the world," said Grendel.	10
24	115	"What strange things?" "The fleet has departed," said Grendel.	10
24	117	"No," said Grendel.	10
24	119	"War?" "I fear so," said Grendel.	10
24	120	"Amongst the worlds?" "Between two, I think," said Grendel.	10
24	121	"This, and some other?" "This world would take Gor for itself," said Grendel.	10
24	124	"War of Kur upon Kur?" "There is a history of such things, a long and bloody history," said Grendel.	10
24	129	"Serve me," said the blonde to Grendel, and he bent to fetch some wine, some grapes, some bread for her.	10
24	132	"You need not kill him," she informed Grendel.	10
24	136	"And me," said Grendel.	10
24	139	"Is that how you look upon women?" inquired Grendel.	10
24	142	"She is a free woman," said Grendel.	10
24	144	"Bring me wine," said the blonde, to Grendel, and he purveyed to her again the flask.	10
24	150	"Bread," said the blonde, and it was fetched for her, again, by the shambling hulk of Grendel.	10
24	151	"How came you here?" asked Grendel.	10
24	155	"You would decline the offer of Agamemnon, to arm and lead the humans of Earth against the Sardar," said Grendel.	10
24	158	"How then," asked Grendel, "were you betrayed by Peisistratus?" "I was given no opportunity to flee, to fight," said Cabot.	10
24	159	"Fruitless opportunities," said Grendel.	10
24	161	"No," said Grendel.	10
24	163	"He is his own human," said Grendel, "and one of us".	10
24	165	"Those who would overthrow Agamemnon," said Grendel.	10
24	168	"You spoke unwisely, friend Grendel," said Cabot.	10
24	172	Grendel turned slowly to regard the blonde.	10
24	176	"Do not fear," said Grendel to the blonde.	10
24	194	"They have found the body," said Grendel, "that of he from whom I obtained the key to your chains, he who managed the sheds in which the breeding shackles are stored".	10
24	197	"I think, too," said Grendel, "that that is best, for if you are not with us, as though we were conspirators, or in league, I may purchase her life".	10
24	199	"They will kill me," said Grendel, "or capture and destroy me, but if she appears innocent in all this she may be spared".	10
24	201	"I have brought rope for the purpose," said Grendel.	10
24	205	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
24	207	Grendel turned about, and went some feet away, in the grass.	10
24	214	In a moment Grendel had returned, with several light coils of rope.	10
24	217	"It will be better," said Grendel.	10
24	225	"Have him rope me!" she said to Grendel.	10
24	231	So very clever! Grendel looked at Cabot, loops of rope dangling from one paw.	10
24	235	"Forgive me," Grendel begged her.	10
24	240	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
24	247	"So it is often done," said Grendel.	10
24	250	"Yes," said Grendel, looking about, his ears lifted.	10
24	264	"Do not fret, small, soft one," said Grendel.	10
24	272	Yes, thought Cabot, she has a better way to purchase her life! And she is aware of it! "I wish you well," said Grendel, a common Gorean farewell.	10
24	274	And the two then parted, Grendel drawing after him a small, well-formed human female, blonde.	10
24	275	She looked back, once, at Cabot, and then was jerked forward on her rope, by hastening Grendel.	10
26	26	"I was freed from breeding shackles by Grendel, whom you know," said Cabot.	10
26	27	"With me, freed as well, was she who was once the blonde pet of Arcesilaus, later the pet of Grendel".	10
26	30	"She is with Grendel, who is being sought, for the murder of a guard, and perhaps for freeing prisoners from breeding shackles".	10
26	35	"And Grendel did not rip out your throat?" "I fear the thought had crossed his mind," said Cabot, "but of greater interest to you, and one of the reasons I have sought you out, other than perhaps to kill you, is to inform you that the little blonde animal, as you think of her, and appropriately in m...	10
26	39	She does not know writing, does she?" "When Grendel is taken," said Cabot, "as I think must soon occur, if it has not already come about, she will attempt to purchase her life by betraying his remarks".	10
26	44	"Grendel will not permit her to be harmed," said Cabot.	10
26	157	"I must seek out Grendel, for he may need me," said Cabot.	10
26	160	"Grendel may have been taken by now," said Peisistratus.	10
26	177	"Where will you seek Grendel?" asked Peisistratus.	10
27	158	"Much depends on whether Grendel has been taken or not," said Cabot.	10
28	1	The Seeking of Grendel "She is pretty," said Peisistratus.	10
28	67	"I wonder if Grendel has been taken," said Peisistratus.	10
28	73	"You are determined to seek Grendel?" said Peisistratus.	10
29	24	"We have seen no sign of Lord Grendel," she said, "nor of Lady Bina".	10
29	243	This trove of combustibles had been fetched earlier by the slave, while Cabot had investigated the beach, and prowled within the forest, discovering however no sign of Lord Grendel or the Lady Bina.	10
29	244	Perhaps Grendel had not come to this place.	10
31	45	"Small prints, barefoot, the prints of a woman!" "It is Lord Grendel then," she said, "and Lady Bina?" "Yes," said Cabot.	10
31	61	"Lord Grendel would not know it was your signal," she said.	10
31	81	"Master?" "The first letter," he said, "in the name 'Grendel'".	10
32	5	"Lord Grendel," said Cabot, relieved.	10
32	6	"Grendel," said the owner of the voice.	10
32	8	"You came to bring me news, or succor?" said Grendel.	10
32	12	"I need no help," said Grendel.	10
32	19	"I have a long ax," said Grendel.	10
32	22	"I know why you are here," said Grendel.	10
32	26	"No harm must come to her," said Grendel, menacingly.	10
32	29	"You are of the Warriors," said Grendel.	10
32	33	"She is safer with me, on the lake," said Grendel.	10
32	38	"And save me from this monster!" "If you are going to kill me," said Cabot to Grendel, "might we not eat first? Perhaps you have some meat, from tharlarion".	10
32	39	"Do you have others with you?" asked Grendel.	10
32	41	"'No'?" said Grendel.	10
32	46	"I have seen her before," said Grendel.	10
32	50	"There is a collar on her neck," said Grendel.	10
32	52	"It is not just such things," said Grendel.	10
32	67	"Do not approach him too closely," said Grendel.	10
32	72	She was unfamiliar with the cumbersome intricacies of the usual Robes of Concealment, their arranged foldings, the abundant drapings, and such, which vary from city to city, but she had simulated something akin to them, doubtless with the aid of Grendel, who would have been familiar with such things...	10
32	74	"Do not approach him too closely," warned Grendel.	10
32	79	Grendel growled, and was close at hand, a little behind the free woman.	10
32	87	"Are you not afraid that your lips might be discerned, and their nature mistaken for that appropriate for a slave?" Grendel half roared in protest.	10
32	88	"Forgive me, Lord Grendel," said Cabot.	10
32	129	Grendel growled.	10
32	135	"In a way," said Cabot, "I owe her to your cohort and champion, Lord Grendel, for I won her, in effect, on a bet, wagering that he would be successful in the arena.	10
32	180	"Lord Grendel," said Cabot.	10
32	181	"Grendel," said he.	10
32	183	"Have you and Lady Bina," inquired Cabot, "entered into the Companionship?" "No," said Grendel.	10
32	186	Grendel did not respond.	10
32	192	"I trust that you jest," said Grendel.	10
32	195	"Do not jest," said Grendel.	10
32	201	"I watch her," said Grendel.	10
32	204	"I am watching her," said Grendel.	10
32	205	"You do not trust me," said Lady Bina, reproachfully, to Grendel.	10
32	206	Grendel looked down, confused, hurt.	10
32	208	Grendel seemed torn, agonized.	10
32	209	"And, too, how dare one such as you, a monster, aspire to the love of a free woman!" "Forgive me," said Grendel, his head down.	10
32	211	"No," said Grendel.	10
32	212	"And so much the more so of a free woman such as I?" "No," said Grendel.	10
32	215	"No," said Grendel.	10
32	219	"True," said Grendel.	10
32	221	"I do love you," protested Grendel.	10
32	231	"Do you have meat?" Cabot asked Grendel.	10
32	235	"The fire has served its purpose," said Grendel, looking about.	10
32	240	"Nor Kurii for raw human," said Grendel.	10
32	242	"So, too, is human," said Grendel.	10
32	244	"I do not eat human," said Grendel.	10
32	246	"For all of you," said Grendel.	10
32	249	"Why?" asked Grendel.	10
32	251	"Perhaps we should withdraw into the trees," said Grendel.	10
32	259	"I will get some tharlarion from the raft," said Grendel.	10
32	271	"You may do so in the presence of Lord Grendel," said Cabot.	10
32	273	Shortly thereafter Grendel joined them on the beach, some blankets over his shoulder, a long ax in his right hand, and some strips of tharlarion dangling from his left hand.	10
32	276	"There are berries there," said the Lady Bina to Grendel.	10
32	292	Grendel ate more in the fashion of the Kur, ripping large pieces of tharlarion apart with his hands and teeth, and then cutting them into ribbons with his fangs, and then, with movements of his head and long, dark tongue, forcing them downward into his cavernous gorge.	10
32	335	"Do not shame her," said Grendel.	10
32	341	"Do not shame her," said Grendel.	10
32	342	"May I speak, Master?" asked the slave, looking up, to Grendel.	10
32	345	"Shame, shame, shame!" shrieked the Lady Bina, and leapt up, and would have struck the slave, but was prevented from doing so by Cabot who, himself leaping up, seized her wrists, held them, and by means of them returned her to her place, kneeling, to the side of Grendel.	10
32	348	"Are you not shamed?" asked Grendel of the slave.	10
32	352	"I am not only a slave, Master," said Lita to Grendel, "but I am a special sort of slave, one different from many, and to be sold as such, the Pleasure Slave.	10
32	372	"Come, Beast," said the Lady Bina to Grendel.	10
32	374	Grendel hurried to do her bidding.	10
32	377	When Grendel had returned, and served the Lady Bina, Cabot spoke to him.	10
32	379	"No," agreed Grendel.	10
32	381	"Perhaps in the morning," said Grendel.	10
32	383	"My thanks, Warrior," said Grendel.	10
32	384	Grendel and the Lady Bina then retired.	10
32	406	"Where is Lord Grendel?" asked Cabot.	10
32	425	"You could fall upon Grendel in the darkness, and slay him in his sleep".	10
32	441	"Lord Grendel could have killed me on the beach," said Cabot.	10
32	476	"You could always cry out to Lord Grendel," said Cabot, "to rescue you from my foul grasp".	10
32	505	"You refuse to kill Grendel? You refuse to accompany me to Agamemnon?" "Yes," said Cabot.	10
33	3	"I hoped she would return," said Grendel.	10
33	5	Grendel reached to activate the small, disklike translator on his harness.	10
33	9	"My Gorean is imperfect," said Grendel.	10
33	13	Grendel snapped off the translator, it seemed reluctantly.	10
33	14	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
33	19	"Even so," said Grendel.	10
33	21	"She told me she would remain in her bower," said Grendel.	10
33	25	"What is love," asked Grendel, "if there is no trust?" "Do you think she loves you?" asked Cabot.	10
33	26	"No," said Grendel.	10
33	28	"Please," said Grendel, reprovingly, "she is a free woman".	10
33	30	"Do not be angry with her," said Grendel.	10
33	33	"True," granted Grendel.	10
33	35	"Tharlarion," said Grendel, resting on the mighty oar with which he propelled the raft.	10
33	36	Grendel then again plied his mighty lever.	10
33	50	How beautiful it was! And how beautiful she was, collared! And it was his collar! "We will try to reach the far shore," said Grendel.	10
33	52	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
33	54	"Perhaps," said Grendel.	10
33	57	"True," said Grendel, "and we may be dealt with, on sight, with power weapons".	10
33	59	"I thought she might return," said Grendel.	10
33	61	"Many wanted her life," said Grendel.	10
33	65	"I strove to protect her," said Grendel.	10
33	68	"She may need me," said Grendel.	10
33	70	"I cannot," said Grendel.	10
33	72	"I am not her enemy," said Grendel.	10
33	73	"You would sacrifice a world, for one sly, cunning, treacherous she-urt?" "I love her," said Grendel.	10
33	75	"I am part human," said Grendel.	10
33	83	Cabot and Grendel looked upward.	10
33	85	"See the wings," said Grendel.	10
33	88	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
33	90	"I do not think so," said Grendel.	10
33	92	Cabot assisted with the oar from time to time, but it was Grendel who plied it tirelessly, sometimes when Cabot and his slave slept.	10
33	96	"Tomorrow we will make landfall," said Grendel.	10
33	98	Grendel thrust the oar back on the raft and seized up the long ax.	10
33	112	"We are closer to land," said Grendel.	10
33	118	"It may not take us as food," said Grendel, his ax lifted.	10
33	129	"Cling to the raft!" said Grendel, standing.	10
33	134	Grendel was down on one knee, his right hand on his ax, his harnessing, and the fur beneath it, drenched with water.	10
33	137	"No, no!" said Grendel.	10
33	145	"You built this well!" Cabot called to Grendel.	10
33	146	"It can be overturned," cried Grendel.	10
33	148	"No," said Grendel.	10
33	161	"He cannot do it!" called Cabot to Grendel.	10
33	162	"No!" said Grendel.	10
33	164	"Jump!" cried Grendel, and leapt from the raft.	10
33	167	"Grendel!" called Cabot.	10
33	168	He saw a huge paw rise out of the water, and then Grendel was on the raft.	10
33	171	"No, no!" said Grendel.	10
33	174	A moment later Grendel had joined them.	10
33	176	"They are hungry," said Grendel.	10
33	181	"It is hard for them!" "I fear it will break up," said Grendel.	10
33	186	A large head had lifted itself out of the water and was reaching, head turned, for Grendel, who struck its jaw with the ax.	10
33	189	"We are done," said Grendel.	10
33	190	"There is blood! These things can smell that from a pasang away!" Grendel stood, the ax ready, lest the large aquatic predator approach anew.	10
33	196	He had at his disposal no Gorean spear with its stout blade, a weapon which might have been, as the ax of Grendel, more potent.	10
33	199	"Brought by the blood," commented Grendel.	10
33	205	"It is a matter of time," said Grendel.	10
33	208	Again one of the predator's heads extended over the raft, jaws opened, reaching for Grendel.	10
33	210	"I wish you well," called Grendel to Cabot.	10
33	238	Grendel, without his ax, was standing at the stem of the half-shattered raft, looking out, over the lake.	10
33	242	"It is over," said Grendel.	10
33	244	"You are a fool," said Grendel.	10
33	246	"I am Kur," said Grendel.	10
33	248	"You will fight to the end?" inquired Grendel.	10
33	254	"It must be another tharlarion," said Grendel.	10
33	260	"Beware!" called Grendel.	10
33	264	"There is something down there!" said Grendel.	10
33	266	"What?" "I do not know," said Grendel.	10
33	271	"Look!" called Grendel, pointing to the lake.	10
33	274	"There are charges in the water," said Grendel.	10
33	278	"No," said Grendel.	10
33	281	"No," said Grendel.	10
33	291	Grendel addressed the machine in Kur.	10
33	293	Grendel did so, but there was no sound emanating from the immense object before them, either in Kur or Gorean.	10
33	295	"It is a body of the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One," said Grendel, "a body of Agamemnon, Theocrat of the World".	10
33	297	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
34	2	"How is that? Is the climate not controlled within the world?" "It is controlled," said Grendel.	10
34	6	"There are vehicles," said Grendel, "but I do not think they were used.	10
34	8	"And Agamemnon came to it?" "Or was brought to it," said Grendel.	10
34	10	"It is a thought, no more," said Grendel.	10
34	12	"Certainly," said Grendel, "but what is Kur?" "I do not understand," said Cabot.	10
34	20	"I am not cold," said Grendel.	10
34	22	"I fear so," said Grendel.	10
34	24	"Perhaps, rather," said Grendel, "this will prevent it from beginning".	10
34	26	"In this world," said Grendel.	10
34	31	"By morning," said Grendel, "perhaps tonight, I do not know, we will make landfall.	10
34	36	"There is going to be a storm," said Grendel.	10
34	38	A wind whipped Cabot's tunic about him, and tore through the fur of Grendel.	10
34	43	"Get down," said Grendel.	10
34	50	"Grendel!" called Cabot.	10
34	53	Even Grendel then threw himself down and fastened himself within the raft ropes.	10
34	61	"The raft is breaking up!" called Grendel.	10
34	63	Had Cabot, or Grendel, or the slave, been placed otherwise than they were surely one or the other of them would have been crushed.	10
34	66	Even Grendel could not see for the darkness, and the rain.	10
34	70	"Call out!" cried Grendel, "and I will try to stay with you! Call out! Call out!" "Here!" called Cabot.	10
34	72	"Here!" cried Grendel, against the storm, scarcely audible.	10
34	75	Doubtless to Cabot and his companion, Lord Grendel, and his lovely beast, the slave, she who had been given the name 'Lita', it seemed a long while, perhaps even the night.	10
34	80	Grendel put a stick on the fire.	10
34	82	"You are awake," said Grendel.	10
34	85	"A lake bird," said Grendel.	10
34	88	"I do not know," said Grendel.	10
34	93	"Doubtless Agamemnon did not suppose the cold was any longer needed," said Grendel.	10
34	95	"Certainly," said Grendel.	10
34	99	Grendel nodded, and arranged a stick, supported on some rocks, near the fire, over which he hung the bit of cloth.	10
34	103	"She is awakening," said Grendel.	10
34	105	"Coins, too," said Grendel, "even rubies?" "Yes," said Cabot, "worthless as they are, here no more than bits of metal, and pretty pebbles".	10
34	106	"Keep them," said Grendel.	10
34	109	"Your slave is a sorry sight," said Grendel.	10
34	111	"I think such things are not necessary," said Grendel.	10
34	117	"She will soon awaken," said Grendel.	10
34	122	"Doubtless she cries out," said Grendel.	10
34	128	"Doubtless it is a suitable introduction to their new life," said Grendel.	10
34	163	Grendel stirred the fire.	10
34	210	Cabot looked past Grendel, and the small fire, toward the opening of the small cave.	10
34	213	"Lord Grendel speculates that Agamemnon trusts that cold is no longer necessary to his plans, and thus, one supposes, that the temperature of the world may be returned to an equable level, one suitable for this season of the cylinder year".	10
34	215	"It is highly likely," said Grendel.	10
34	220	Grendel returned to tending and turning the meat, at the small fire.	10
34	222	"Yes," said Grendel, "but perhaps not with consequences to his liking".	10
34	224	"He appeared to save us, did he not?" asked Grendel.	10
34	227	"I suspect the Lady Bina is involved in this," said Grendel.	10
34	228	"She would have importuned Agamemnon to have us saved upon the lake?" "Or one of us," said Grendel.	10
34	230	"No," said Grendel, looking down, stirring the fire.	10
34	232	"I think so," said Grendel.	10
34	234	"Yes, and so the storm," said Grendel.	10
34	238	"Lady Bina may want you," said Grendel.	10
34	242	"This may have displeased her," said Grendel.	10
34	246	"Yes," said Grendel, "but did you, at first, understand the control?" "No," said Cabot.	10
34	247	"And to a lesser extent yet would have the Lady Bina," said Grendel.	10
34	249	"I could be disposed of later, at her convenience," said Grendel, "and she may have thought it amusing to own your Lita, who, when free, I understand, was something of a rival to her".	10
34	255	"I think so," said Grendel.	10
34	258	"Only a small one, if any, I fear," said Grendel.	10
34	260	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
34	273	"Did you save the feathers of the lake bird?" asked Cabot of Lord Grendel.	10
34	274	"Not really," said Lord Grendel, wiping his jaws with a massive, haired forearm, "but they are about.	10
35	1	Lita Returns to the Cave "Should she not be back by now?" asked Grendel.	10
35	9	"Better I," said Grendel.	10
35	12	But Grendel had exited the cave, nostrils distended.	10
35	14	The small party consisting of Cabot, Lord Grendel, and a slave, whose name was Lita, had been in the vicinity of the cave four days now.	10
35	23	This lack, however, was well remedied by Lord Grendel who, several Ahn from the cave, muchly concealing his deformed hands, in a tiny habitat village, had encountered a small smithy, and, with some of Cabot's silver coins, obtained from Peisistratus in consequence of a wager, had arranged with the s...	10
35	30	Lord Grendel, too, we may suppose, paid a good price for his alleged pendants.	10
35	61	"Did you see Lord Grendel?" asked Cabot.	10
35	80	"Lord Grendel is bringing him here," she said.	10
35	104	Grendel, a large Kur in his massive arms, stood in the threshold of the small, shallow cave.	10
35	107	Grendel came into the cave, and, toward its rear, put down the large, wounded Kur, with great gentleness.	10
35	111	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
35	115	"Yes," said Grendel.	10
35	118	"The war is lost," said Grendel.	10
35	121	"It has begun," said Grendel.	10
35	126	"What of the men of Peisistratus?" "Beleaguered, trying to guard the shuttle ports," said Grendel.	10
35	127	"They have not taken the ships and fled to Gor?" "The outer locks are sealed from the palace," said Grendel.	10
35	130	"They are Gorean," said Grendel.	10
35	134	Grendel was silent.	10
35	136	"They await slaughter, as usual," said Grendel, "with unwitting, complacent stupidity, concerned only for the filling of their feeding troughs, their water troughs".	10
35	138	"It seems so," said Grendel.	10
35	140	"He lives, as of now," said Grendel.	10
35	144	Grendel pointed to the fallen Kur, lying at the back of the cave, whose wounds were being tended by the slave.	10
35	145	"He is, then," said Cabot, "one of us, one of the conspirators, one of the revolutionaries?" "Yes," said Grendel, "their leader".	10
35	147	"My poor, dear Cabot," said Grendel, "you do not recognize him, do you?" "No," said Cabot.	10
35	148	"It is Lord Arcesilaus," said Grendel.	10
36	2	"It is not difficult," said Lord Grendel.	10
36	4	"Certainly," said Lord Grendel.	10
36	9	"Lita," called Cabot, "fling the garland!" Lita removed the garland from her hair and tossed it away from her, and scarcely had it left her hand than the string of the bow of Lord Grendel leaped forward, and then vibrated with that sudden, intense purr, the bow's music, signaling a flight.	10
36	13	"It is a slight weapon, is it not?" asked Grendel.	10
36	29	"I prefer an ax," said Grendel.	10
36	31	"The shaft is not weighty," said Lord Grendel.	10
36	33	"The spear can be swift," said Lord Grendel.	10
36	48	"I think it is a coward's weapon," said Lord Grendel.	10
36	56	"Kurii do not look for nobility and honor from humans," said Lord Grendel.	10
36	58	"Forgive me," said Lord Grendel.	10
