25 85 It reached for me with a whiplike motion of its furred neck and I felt the long sharp white teeth rake my arm but at the same time I heard another squeal of pain and the grunt of horror from the man in wrist straps.

22 35 Half out of the water, then returning to it, I saw a great speckled grunt, four-gilled.
Details

22 43 Rising from under the grunt swiftly was a long-bodied shark, white, nine-gilled.
Details

22 44 It tore the grunt from the line and bore it away.

Book 13. (12 results) Explorers of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
24 60 Such blood might attract the bint, a fanged, carnivorous marsh eel, or the predatory, voracious blue grunt, a small, fresh-water variety of the much larger and familiar salt-water grunt of Thassa.
Details
10
24 65 The danger, currently, of the bint and blue grunt, however, was not primarily due to any peril they themselves might represent, particularly as the grunt would not now be schooling, but due to the fact that they, drawn by shed blood, might be followed by tharlarion.
Details
10
53 72 The grunt now schooling in the open moat, come in from the lake, could well be the posterity of grunt populations dating back to the time when the city was not in ruins but in the height of its glory and power.
Details
10
24 61 The blue grunt is particularly dangerous during the daylight hours preceding its mating periods, when it schools.
Details
10
24 173 It had been drawn to the area probably by the smell of blood in the water, or by following other forms of marine life, most likely the bint or blue grunt, who would have been attracted by the same stimulus.
Details
10
24 174 It is not unusual for tharlarion to follow bint and grunt.
Details
10
24 265 Another uttered an explosive cry, half grunt, half bellow, which, in rage and frustration, sounded across the marsh.
Details
10
53 61 In it, as had been demonstrated, by the hurling of a haunch of tarsk into the waters, crowded and schooling, were thousands of blue grunt.
Details
10
53 70 The grunt, following the mating frenzy, synchronized with the full moon, would return to the lake.
Details
10
53 71 Given the habits of the fish I had little doubt but that this place was an ancient mating ground for them, for the grunt populations tend to return again and again to the places of their frenzy, wherever, usually in a lagoon or shallow place in a river, they may be.
Details
10
53 73 The grunt in the moat were for a time an effective barrier, but surely Shaba and his men realized that it must be temporary.

Book 17. (470 results) Savages of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
4 38 "If various traders know Sign and some, too, have some smattering of some of these languages, what makes Grunt so special? Why is it he alone who is permitted to venture so deeply into the Barrens?" "Perhaps the savages feel they have nothing more to gain from Grunt," laughed the young man.
Details
10
14 507 The Dust Leg, more than pleased, tried to get Grunt to accept at least one extra hide for the girl, but this, of course, Grunt magnanimously refused to do.
Details
10
19 706 I lent my assistance to Grunt and Pimples, and, in a few Ehn, we had secured the goods about either on the travois attached to Grunt's pack kaiila or on my own pack beast.
Details
10
3 2 "I am trying to locate the whereabouts of a trader, one called Grunt," I said.
Details
10
3 6 "Do you know where this fellow, Grunt, may be found?" I asked.
Details
10
3 125 "The trader, Grunt," I said, "you speculate has ventured northward?" "Yes," said the man.
Details
10
3 147 "It will be my conjecture," said the man, "that he whom you seek, the trader, Grunt, is bound not for Fort Haskins, but for Kailiauk".
Details
10
3 157 "Grunt is a peculiar fellow, and secretive, but, I think, inoffensive".
Details
10
3 165 "If you wish to contact Grunt, I advise you to do so promptly.
Details
10
4 7 "Why do you wish to find Grunt?" asked the driver, a young man with shaggy hair, cut short across the base of his neck.
Details
10
4 11 "Grunt comes and goes, as I understand it," I said.
Details
10
4 15 To accompany one such as the fellow, Grunt, of whom I had heard, seemed to me advisable, at least until I could learn the land and fend better for myself.
Details
10
6 68 "Do you know Grunt, the trader?" I asked the fellow.
Details
10
6 90 Unable to find Grunt, I feared I must enter the Barrens alone.
Details
10
6 93 "Why do you wish to find Grunt?" he asked.
Details
10
6 131 I was less fortunate, at various small camps and outlying farms, in obtaining information as to the possible whereabouts of a white trader named Grunt.
Details
10
6 155 I was angry that I had not been able to locate Grunt, the trader.
Details
10
8 1 Grunt I turned my attention from the apparently lovely young woman, though she was fully clothed, who was strung up by the wrists near the central block.
Details
10
8 1150 "I have sought along the perimeter for one named 'Grunt'," I said.
Details
10
8 1156 "This fellow, Grunt," I said, "is presumably a well-known trader.
Details
10
8 1158 "It is my thought," I said, "that this fellow, Grunt, has many friends, that he inspires loyalty, that these friends desire to protect him".
Details
10
8 1159 "If that is so," he said, "then this Grunt, in at least some respects, must be a lucky man".
Details
10
9 1 We Cross the Ihanke "It is here," said Grunt, turning about on his kaiila.
Details
10
9 4 "Here is one," said Grunt, "and there is another, and another".
Details
10
9 12 According to Grunt such wands line the perimeter, though usually not in such proximity to one another.
Details
10
9 14 Grunt now turned back on his kaiila to look out, eastward, over the broad grasses and low, rolling hills.
Details
10
9 23 Because of its uncertain weather, the possible freezes and storms, and its harsh winds, this month had been avoided by Grunt.
Details
10
9 33 Grunt sat astride his kaiila, a lofty, yellow animal, looking eastward, out beyond the wands.
Details
10
9 40 Grunt's goods, on the other hand, of course, were distributed over his eleven beasts of burden, the kaiila and the ten other pack animals.
Details
10
9 42 Grunt carried similar articles but he, as well, as I had not, carried such items as long nails, rivets, hatchets, metal arrowheads, metal lance points, knife blades and butcher knives.
Details
10
9 53 I saw Grunt straighten himself in the high-pommeled saddle.
Details
10
9 57 Grunt rode some twenty yards ahead, and then pulled back the kaiila, twisting its head back with the reins, wheeling it about to face us.
Details
10
9 65 "Hei! Hei!" cried Grunt.
Details
10
9 72 "Hei! Hei!" called Grunt.
Details
10
9 75 "Hei! Hei!" urged Grunt.
Details
10
9 89 Grunt, on his kaiila, had now taken his place at the head of the line, the pack kaiila behind him.
Details
10
9 91 Grunt, I knew, had some special disposition in mind for her.
Details
10
9 98 Grunt, I recalled, in urging his coffle forward, had not struck the lead girl, his lovely red-haired beast, with the lash, as he had several of the others.
Details
10
9 106 "It is here," Grunt had said.
Details
10
9 111 "It is here," Grunt had said.
Details
10
9 117 I urged my kaiila forward again, after Grunt and the coffle.
Details
10
10 1 I See Dust Behind Us "You are aware, are you not," I asked Grunt, "that we are being followed?" "Yes," he said.
Details
10
10 14 Grunt was unusual in having traded as far east as the country of the Fleer and the Yellow Knives.
Details
10
10 17 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
10 29 "Accordingly," said Grunt, "you conjecture that the dust is raised by the paws of running kaiila".
Details
10
10 37 "It is so obvious," said Grunt, "that you have noted it, but have not considered its significance".
Details
10
10 43 "To raise dust like that, in this terrain," said Grunt, "you must ride across draws, rather than avoid them, and you must ride in a cluster, where the dust will rise, cloudlike, rather than rise and fall, in a narrow line, swiftly dissipated by the wind".
Details
10
10 45 Grunt grinned.
Details
10
10 54 "I thought they would," said Grunt.
Details
10
10 58 "True," smiled Grunt.
Details
10
10 63 "I have had trouble with them before," smiled Grunt.
Details
10
10 78 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
10 84 "No," said Grunt.
Details
10
10 86 "We shall continue on, as we were," said Grunt.
Details
10
10 89 "To be sure," said Grunt, "we should waste little time".
Details
10
10 93 "Hei! Hei!" called Grunt.
Details
10
10 97 "On!" said Grunt, with a gesture of his whip, wheeling about on his kaiila.
Details
10
10 99 I drew my kaiila alongside that of Grunt.
Details
10
10 101 "I do not think we should make a stand," said Grunt.
Details
10
10 105 "If we were red savages," said Grunt, "we would run.
Details
10
10 111 "No," said Grunt.
Details
10
10 118 "No," said Grunt, not looking back.
Details
10
10 121 "No," said Grunt, quietly.
Details
10
11 1 Slave Instruction; It Seems We Are No Longer Being Followed "You seem apprehensive," said Grunt.
Details
10
11 5 "No," said Grunt.
Details
10
11 24 It was of wood, a flexible branch, about a yard long, cut by Grunt from one of the trees amongst which we camped.
Details
10
11 263 "A pretty lot," said Grunt, behind me.
Details
10
11 266 "See that girl," asked Grunt, "the one with red hair?" "Yes," I said.
Details
10
11 275 "Why?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
11 281 "No," said Grunt.
Details
10
11 284 "If you were going to buy a she-tarsk," asked Grunt, "would its virginity matter to you?" "No," I said, "of course not".
Details
10
11 293 Grunt then turned away.
Details
10
11 294 "Grunt," I said.
Details
10
12 9 "Hei!" cried Grunt, slapping the side of his thigh.
Details
10
12 11 "It is clean work," said Grunt, "the work of Dust Legs".
Details
10
12 15 "Relatively," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 29 "I see no kaiila," I said to Grunt, "no weapons.
Details
10
12 31 "It was taken," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 34 "Are things usually done in this fashion?" I asked Grunt.
Details
10
12 35 "This is not bad," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 38 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 44 "That sort of thing," said Grunt, "is cultural, with almost all of the tribes.
Details
10
12 48 "There are various theories," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 52 "True," said Grunt, "but, too, I think it is generally understood that this sort of thing produces fear not so much as a desire for revenge, at least among the savages themselves".
Details
10
12 58 "I think," said Grunt, "that it is done in the joy and lust of victory, that it ventilates powerful emotion, that it expresses vengeance and hatred, and, indeed, pleasure and life, and that it is done, too, to show contempt for the enemy and to humiliate him, thereby demonstrating one's own superior...
Details
10
12 59 I regarded Grunt.
Details
10
12 60 "In short," said Grunt, "it is done because it elates them, and fills them with power and joy".
Details
10
12 66 I turned my kaiila to face Grunt.
Details
10
12 69 Grunt laughed.
Details
10
12 72 "It was for this reason," said Grunt, "that I left them in the camp".
Details
10
12 78 "They are to be left as they are," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 83 Grunt and I looked at one another.
Details
10
12 84 "Over here," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 93 "It is a present to me, from my friends, the Dust Legs," laughed Grunt, "the leaders of those who followed us".
Details
10
12 96 "And a rich joke it is, too," laughed Grunt.
Details
10
12 121 "You are stripped," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 123 "You wear leg-spreaders," laughed Grunt.
Details
10
12 125 "As though you might be women," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 129 "Thus do the Dust Legs demean you," said Grunt, "treating you as no more than women".
Details
10
12 132 "We are helpless!" Grunt, moving the reins of the kaiila, pulled the beast's head away.
Details
10
12 142 "We have been tied by red savages! We cannot free ourselves!" Grunt stopped his kaiila.
Details
10
12 147 "Yet, perhaps I could spare them this horror," mused Grunt.
Details
10
12 150 "They left them in my keeping," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 152 "What are you going to do?" "Cut their throats," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 160 Grunt looked up at me.
Details
10
12 161 "In this way, of course," said Grunt, "I get nothing from them".
Details
10
12 163 "Do you think they might have some worth?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
12 165 "They seem two stalwart, handsome lads," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 169 Grunt, from his saddlebags, removed two collars.
Details
10
12 173 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 174 Grunt looked up at me.
Details
10
12 179 "For the time you may account yourselves mere prisoners," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 182 "You will be put at the end of the coffle," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 187 "I assure you," said Grunt, "our friends, the red savages, both men and women, will find that quite amusing".
Details
10
12 189 "But do not fear," said Grunt, "you will not be expected to bear burdens".
Details
10
12 191 "It is the women who are the pack beasts, who will bear the burdens," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 193 "You will discover that there are some advantages to bringing up the rear of the coffle," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 198 Grunt looked about and found some shreds of shirts which, cut to pieces, lay about in the grass.
Details
10
12 200 They regarded their new garments, decided for them by Grunt, with dismay.
Details
10
12 202 "The red savages, as you may not know," said Grunt to me, though doubtless he was speaking primarily for the benefit of the Hobarts, "are rather strict about the privilege of wearing the breechclout".
Details
10
12 204 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
12 213 "For a slave, or a prisoner, to wear a breechclout might be regarded as pretentious or offensive," said Grunt, "an oversight or indiscretion calling for torture or, say, for being set upon by boys on kaiila, with war clubs".
Details
10
12 217 Grunt cut the thongs binding the ankles of the Hobarts to the leg-spreaders.
Details
10
12 220 Grunt mounted to the high saddle of his kaiila.
Details
10
12 227 "That way lies our camp," said Grunt, pointing.
Details
10
12 230 "Come along," said Grunt.
Details
10
13 1 Blankets and Bonds; I Do a Favor for Grunt I lay on one elbow.
Details
10
13 79 Had I not noted her glances, and the frightened turning away of her head when she had been discovered? Had I not sensed the slave in her body language, how she moved in the tunic, and turned, and straightened her body, and posed, pretending to be unaware of my eyes and those of Grunt, her master, up...
Details
10
13 172 "The results of your body's testing, shortly after your purchase, were made known to me by Grunt, your master".
Details
10
13 204 "If you should prove unusual in some respect, although this is extremely rare," I said, "we can, tomorrow, grind one of Grunt's trading knives into a lancet".
Details
10
13 387 Grunt, in any case, as I knew him, would not be interested in punishing her for that action, as it had taken place when she was free.
Details
10
13 390 Still, I would inform Grunt of this development.
Details
10
13 625 "Grunt thinks you are worth more," I said.
Details
10
13 627 I did not mention to her that Grunt thought he could get five hides of the golden kailiauk for her.
Details
10
13 834 I did not doubt but what Grunt could get five hides of the yellow kailiauk for her.
Details
10
13 910 "Why has your Master, Grunt, sent you to my blankets?" I asked.
Details
10
13 1243 "I shall speak to Grunt in the morning.
Details
10
13 1714 It was nothing, merely a favor for Grunt, of course, opening one of his new slaves, for the pleasure of men.
Details
10
13 1844 I had merely done a favor for Grunt, my friend, opening a slimly bodied, red-haired girl for him, one of his slaves.
Details
10
14 1 It is a Good Trading; Pimples; I Learn Something of the Waniyanpi; Corn Stalks; Sign; Grunt and I Will Proceed East The red-haired girl cried out in pain and fear, struck from her knees back in the grass by the plump, scornful woman of the red savages, a sturdy-legged matron of the Dust Legs.
Details
10
14 52 Grunt was engaged in conversation with four or five of the Dust-Leg men.
Details
10
14 77 I recalled that Grunt had, two days ago, at another trading point, received five such rectangles for a similar mirror.
Details
10
14 87 These, at any rate, were the sentiments of Grunt, who seemed popular with the Dust Legs, and, as far as I can tell, they are substantially sound.
Details
10
14 97 On the other hand, I realized, and Grunt had made it clear to me, too, that one must not insult the red savages nor deal with them unrealistically, particularly in the light of other traders and merchants who might follow me.
Details
10
14 100 One of the Dust-Leg men was examining, with great care, the hatchet which Grunt had shown him.
Details
10
14 101 Grunt excused himself and rose to his feet.
Details
10
14 103 Grunt went again to his stores and brought forth some packages, wrapped in waxed paper.
Details
10
14 104 "Canhanpisasa," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 110 Grunt and she then exchanged what I took to be appropriate civilities and compliments.
Details
10
14 111 She pointed to Grunt.
Details
10
14 115 I looked at Grunt.
Details
10
14 122 "I told her she was a pretty woman," said Grunt, "and now she is teasing me.
Details
10
14 126 Grunt looked about, the sweets in his hand.
Details
10
14 130 Grunt offered him some of the sweets.
Details
10
14 133 "Ah!" said Grunt.
Details
10
14 137 "Be flattered," said Grunt to her.
Details
10
14 146 But it would not be the first time she had pleased one of Grunt's visitors.
Details
10
14 147 Grunt watched the girl struggle to her knees.
Details
10
14 152 Already I would obtain less for the small mirror than Grunt had for a comparable item the day before yesterday.
Details
10
14 159 Grunt had now gone back to the coffle, where most of his girls huddled together, the chain on their necks, and removed Ginger, and Ulla and Lenna, the two Swedish girls, from the chain.
Details
10
14 163 That the red-haired girl had not been named as yet was not a function of the fact that either Grunt or myself saw any difficulty with Millicent as a slave name.
Details
10
14 169 Grunt now came forward, Ulla and Lenna bent over, one on each side of him, their hair in his hands.
Details
10
14 173 Grunt threw both of the girls to their knees near the sitting men.
Details
10
14 190 Grunt then drew in the grass, with the heel of his boot, a circle, some ten feet or so in width.
Details
10
14 193 Grunt then ordered her to stand in the circle, orders conveyed by Ginger, which, frightened, half crouched over, she did.
Details
10
14 195 "Resist, to the best of your ability," said Grunt to Ulla.
Details
10
14 202 "Eca!" agreed Grunt, heartily.
Details
10
14 203 "You, Lenna, my dear, now," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 219 "Eca!" commended Grunt.
Details
10
14 220 "Eca!" "Remember," said Grunt to the helpless Ulla and Lenna, "you are to be totally pleasing to masters.
Details
10
14 230 Grunt then sat down and began to talk with the other men, not the two still standing, as though nothing had happened, as though it had been only a bit of sport with two embonded sluts, only an amusement for the entertainment of his guests.
Details
10
14 233 "Oh?" asked Grunt, innocently.
Details
10
14 236 I thought Grunt would get an excellent price for the two beauties.
Details
10
14 248 Grunt, of course, might have helped her, but he was engaged in business.
Details
10
14 295 Grunt, two days ago, had received five such articles for a similar mirror.
Details
10
14 299 Earlier today Grunt had fashioned a travois for his pack kaiila.
Details
10
14 302 The travois, I suspected, would be heavily laden by the time Grunt was ready to return to Kailiauk.
Details
10
14 308 Between where the men sat and the coffle, a bit to the right, was the spread-out kailiauk robe under which Grunt had put Margaret, naked, her legs drawn up.
Details
10
14 313 It was a clever trick on Grunt's part.
Details
10
14 316 Was Grunt trying to hide her? I saw leather thongs put on the necks of Ulla and Lenna, the beaded collars thrust up to admit them.
Details
10
14 394 Grunt had joined him there.
Details
10
14 395 Grunt seemed reluctant to lift the hide.
Details
10
14 399 This was another of the names by which Grunt was known in the Barrens.
Details
10
14 402 Grunt excused himself and went to see what the man wanted.
Details
10
14 406 When she reached her master and Grunt her master put his hand under her chin and thrust up her head.
Details
10
14 408 She saw the other kaiila, the men, Grunt, myself, the girls in the coffle.
Details
10
14 409 Then she was stripped and knelt naked, before Grunt.
Details
10
14 412 "Tarl," called Grunt to me.
Details
10
14 428 "On your hands and knees," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 430 "Good," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 431 She became Grunt's for three hatchets.
Details
10
14 435 This did not matter, of course, really, for Grunt doubtless, if he wished to clothe the new slave, had an extra slave tunic or so among his goods.
Details
10
14 438 To be sure, Grunt would not, I suppose, have minded throwing the tunics in, if they had been wanted.
Details
10
14 451 Too, I suppose, if Grunt had wanted it, the red savage might have left him the other girl's shirt dress.
Details
10
14 461 Grunt, a shrewd fellow, appeared to demur, and, indeed, even invited the fellow to examine the other girls on the coffle.
Details
10
14 463 He did look for a longer moment at the red-haired girl but Grunt said something to him, and he turned from her again to speculate on what might lie concealed beneath the kailiauk hide.
Details
10
14 464 Grunt apparently did not wish to release the red-haired girl in a common sale.
Details
10
14 472 It was clear to him that Grunt, if he truly, seriously, wished to hide a girl, would presumably cache her, bound and gagged, out of sight, perhaps in a slit trench a pasang or so away.
Details
10
14 477 I hoped Grunt knew what he was doing.
Details
10
14 479 Suddenly the Dust Leg, Grunt speaking to him, broke out in laughter.
Details
10
14 484 He tried to walk about and peep beneath the hide and Grunt, with great apparent earnestness and seriousness, hurried about, tugging down the hide at the edges.
Details
10
14 494 What was going on, further, could not be clearly understood unless it is understood that the Dust Legs knew and respected, and liked, Grunt.
Details
10
14 496 Theoretically, one supposes, a high bid might be made on what lay concealed beneath the hide and then the hide, the bid accepted, might be withdrawn to reveal a wench as ugly as a tharlarion, but the Dust Legs knew, in the practical context, that Grunt would not do this to them.
Details
10
14 500 Grunt, he made it clear, must now either accept or reject that offer.
Details
10
14 501 It was, of course, accepted, and Grunt, with some flair, threw off the hide.
Details
10
14 511 "They are very pleased," I said to Grunt.
Details
10
14 524 "I think so," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 559 "I shall attend to the camp," said Grunt, looking about.
Details
10
14 565 Grunt was looking about, scanning the surrounding grasslands.
Details
10
14 596 "What did Grunt, who is your master, the fellow in the broad-brimmed hat, call you?" I asked.
Details
10
14 889 * * * * "This is Wagmezahu, Corn Stalks," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 893 "Is the new slave satisfactory?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
14 897 I now understood why Grunt had been scanning the plains.
Details
10
14 903 If the Dust Legs knew of his presence in their country they had not chosen to do anything about it, perhaps in deference to Grunt.
Details
10
14 904 Grunt and the Fleer spoke largely in sign, this being easier for them than the attempt to communicate verbally.
Details
10
14 907 Grunt had shortened the coffle by two collars and chain lengths.
Details
10
14 931 Before he left Grunt gave him some hard candy and a fine steel knife.
Details
10
14 932 "You seem moody," I said to Grunt.
Details
10
14 938 "Very easily," said Grunt, "for they are much the same, and, too, you would be able to make yourself understood to the Kailiauk, and, to some extent, to the Fleer".
Details
10
14 952 "I do not know," said Grunt, "but I think it is because they were the last of the major tribes to master the kaiila.
Details
10
14 956 "I can teach you hundreds of signs in a short time," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 960 "I will be pleased to help you," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 961 "Grunt?" I asked.
Details
10
14 964 "He does not know you," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 971 "No," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 975 Grunt rubbed the back of his left hand from the wrist to the knuckle with his right index finger.
Details
10
14 1018 "Yes," said Grunt, "but, more generally, it is another sign which may stand for any white woman, and is often used in this way".
Details
10
14 1025 "But are there no women of the red savages themselves who are slaves?" "Of course, there are," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1043 "What is this?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
14 1058 I had seen Corn Stalks make this sign in his talk with Grunt.
Details
10
14 1059 Grunt's eyes clouded.
Details
10
14 1062 "You may have seen this sign," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1070 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1075 "Yes," said Grunt, soberly.
Details
10
14 1080 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1082 Grunt knew that I had seen them.
Details
10
14 1084 "It is all right," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1086 "It is all right," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1089 "Grass," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1091 "Height," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1098 "The spreading of light," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1102 "Three days," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1106 "Many," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1110 "Red savages," smiled Grunt.
Details
10
14 1130 "You have an excellent memory," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1131 I had been, of course, as best I could, reconstructing portions of the conversation which I had earlier seen take place between Corn Stalks and Grunt.
Details
10
14 1134 "Fast," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1140 "Kill," said Grunt, soberly.
Details
10
14 1144 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1148 "It is the sign for fire," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1154 "It does," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1159 "A wagon, or wagons, of course," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1163 "Three days ago, or some three days ago," said Grunt, "a large party of red savages, consisting of Kaiila, Yellow Knives, Sleen, Fleer and Kailiauk fell suddenly upon a wagon train and a column of soldiers, both infantry and cavalry.
Details
10
14 1194 "It is a horrifying thing," said Grunt, almost numbly.
Details
10
14 1198 "Heart," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1201 "The heart is on the ground," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1205 "My heart, too," said Grunt, "is on the ground.
Details
10
14 1209 "In actions of this sort," said Grunt, "our friends of the plains are seldom inclined to leave survivors, but perhaps they did, perhaps, say, some children, to be herded to Waniyanpi camps, to be raised with Waniyanpi values, suitable for slaves, or, say, perhaps, some females whose exposed curvatur...
Details
10
14 1213 "Male or female?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
14 1215 "I do not think I would give much for his chances," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1217 "We should perhaps turn back," mused Grunt.
Details
10
14 1225 "Smaller parties can be more dangerous than larger parties, at such a time," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1230 "Sometimes they are even left behind," said Grunt, "to track survivors who might have hidden in the grass".
Details
10
14 1232 "One might hope, of course," said Grunt, "that they would be sensitive to such distinctions".
Details
10
14 1234 "We are white," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1237 "Grunt," I said.
Details
10
14 1240 "Perhaps," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1248 "It is a story hide," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1267 "You are not a trader," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1271 Grunt shrugged.
Details
10
14 1282 "No," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1285 "He paid a double tarn, of gold," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1287 "He did not even bargain," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1291 "What is your business in the Barrens?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
14 1295 "Yes?" said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1300 "That is a beast of a medicine vision," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1304 "I have never seen such a beast," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1306 "You think it is now in the Barrens," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1311 "Are you a hunter?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
14 1313 "The Barrens are large," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1320 "You are white," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1329 "It is already summer," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1346 "Two moons will be sufficient to return to Kailiauk," said Grunt, "if one does not stop for trading".
Details
10
14 1354 "It is then decided," said Grunt.
Details
10
14 1360 Grunt looked at me, puzzled.
Details
10
14 1367 "Tonight," said Grunt, getting up, "you may use Priscilla, if you wish".
Details
10
14 1369 "I understand," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 1 The Fleer "Here," said Grunt, pointing down from the saddle of the lofty kaiila, "you see the wagon tracks, the ruts?" "Yes," I said.
Details
10
15 8 "Yes," said Grunt, "but its intent is not hostile, as I read it.
Details
10
15 20 "In a way it is heartening," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 27 "That would be the customary reading," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 31 Grunt shrugged.
Details
10
15 33 "Hold!" said Grunt, suddenly, tensing.
Details
10
15 37 "Do not reach for your weapons," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 40 "The hair," said Grunt, "is worn in the high pompadour, combed back".
Details
10
15 46 "Be careful," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 50 Grunt relaxed in his saddle and smiled, broadly.
Details
10
15 52 "He has no saddle," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 55 Grunt then, still smiling, clasped his left hand with his right, and shook it.
Details
10
15 57 "Kodakiciyapi," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 60 'Peace, friendship,' had said Grunt, 'Greetings, Friend.
Details
10
15 71 I was not certain that Grunt was wise in addressing him in the dialect of the Kaiila, for the Fleer and Kaiila are hereditary enemies.
Details
10
15 76 "Wopeton," said Grunt, pointing to me.
Details
10
15 80 "Do not move," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 82 "Stand straight," called Grunt to the coffle, which now, in our pause, had put down its burdens.
Details
10
15 86 I thought Grunt was wise not to have the girls look into the eyes of the Fleer warrior.
Details
10
15 122 Priscilla had not met his eyes, as Grunt had advised them.
Details
10
15 123 Grunt did not want to do business with the Fleer.
Details
10
15 140 None of them, as Grunt had advised, met his eyes.
Details
10
15 142 "Our friend," said Grunt to me, "is a member of the Blue-Sky Riders, a warrior society of the Fleer".
Details
10
15 144 "I would think so," smiled Grunt.
Details
10
15 146 "Yes," said Grunt, "the dark line of the earth, the overarching dome of the blue sky".
Details
10
15 151 "I do not think he means us harm," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 167 "The ear of his kaiila is notched," I said to Grunt.
Details
10
15 168 "Is that an eccentric mutilation or is it deliberate, perhaps meaningful?" "It is meaningful," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 187 Grunt had not permitted her to cut it, or even to trim and shape it.
Details
10
15 198 I could detect, subtly, now, that Grunt was tense.
Details
10
15 200 I found myself, too, probably because of Grunt, growing more tense.
Details
10
15 206 "I trust he will not want any of them," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 219 "Do not move," said Grunt to me, smiling at the Fleer.
Details
10
15 229 Grunt then lifted his right hand, the back of it near his right shoulder.
Details
10
15 232 "Yes," had said Grunt.
Details
10
15 246 "I have always had good relations with the Fleer," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 252 "He probably has, on the whole, as good or better in his own camp," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 259 "The Fleer was impressed," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 261 "I am proud of all of them," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 263 "They are good stuff," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 273 "Your tutelage of them in submission and servitude, the instructional abuse to which you have subjected them," said Grunt, "may prove to be instrumental in saving their lives".
Details
10
15 275 "Good," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 276 I wondered why Grunt had administered so little, if any, of this form of instruction to his coffled properties.
Details
10
15 278 "Up with your burdens, my pretty beasts!" called Grunt.
Details
10
15 280 "He was probably left behind to kill survivors," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 282 "He was in the paint of war," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 284 "We were not involved in the action," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 286 "I fear so," said Grunt.
Details
10
15 288 "I think that is probably true," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 1 The Kur; I Meet Waniyanpi; I Hear of the Lady Mira "It occurred here," said Grunt, "obviously".
Details
10
16 9 "It could be worse than you think," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 19 "The attack presumably did not take place at dawn," said Grunt, "and, presumably, it would not have occurred late in the day".
Details
10
16 21 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 23 "That is it," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 26 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 41 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 51 "What is it?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
16 53 "What is it that you see in the grass?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
16 56 I threw the reins to Grunt, and dismounted.
Details
10
16 59 "No Fleer or Yellow Knife did that," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 64 "It must have been a survivor," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 68 "Then a wild sleen must have caught him," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 72 "So?" said Grunt.
Details
10
16 76 "I see," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 83 Grunt looped the reins of my kaiila over the pommel of his saddle.
Details
10
16 85 I heard Grunt arm his bow, drawing back the stout cable, his foot in the bow stirrup, then slotting the quarrel into the guide.
Details
10
16 86 I shuddered, and quickly mounted the kaiila, taking back the reins from Grunt.
Details
10
16 91 I glanced to Grunt's bow.
Details
10
16 93 "What is it?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
16 97 "It will be, then, extremely dangerous," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 105 Grunt and I moved our kaiila forward.
Details
10
16 108 "Look!" cried Grunt.
Details
10
16 129 The paws of Grunt's beast thundered beside my own.
Details
10
16 130 "He is insane!" cried Grunt.
Details
10
16 154 "It is going to attack," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 158 Grunt did not discharge the weapon.
Details
10
16 160 The beast regarded Grunt, and then myself.
Details
10
16 163 "Contempt?" said Grunt, puzzled.
Details
10
16 166 "It is a beast," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 174 Then I returned to where Grunt, and the others, were waiting.
Details
10
16 175 "You should have let me kill it," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 177 "Why did you not have me fire?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
16 179 "Who are you, truly?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
16 271 "Death holds few terrors for those who have never known life," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 292 "Who are these people?" I asked Grunt.
Details
10
16 293 "They are Waniyanpi," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 296 I noted that none of the Waniyanpi lifted their eyes to assess the scantily clad loveliness of Grunt's chained properties.
Details
10
16 314 "The field is mostly cleared," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 317 "Are they still about?" asked Grunt, nervously.
Details
10
16 319 The object of Grunt's concern, potent as it was, did not occur to me at the time.
Details
10
16 333 "And you must understand," said Grunt, "the savages clear the field of their own dead".
Details
10
16 335 "It was a rout, and a massacre," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 340 "The settlers must have been wiped out, almost to a man," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 344 "Something in the neighborhood of six hundred soldiers then fell," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 347 "That is extremely interesting," I said to Grunt.
Details
10
16 351 "That they did not fall on the field does not mean that they did not fall," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 356 Grunt shrugged.
Details
10
16 417 "That would be the lad, the young man, who was with the column, the slave, one called Urt," I said to Grunt.
Details
10
16 418 Grunt shrugged.
Details
10
16 425 "It would be the Lady Mira, of Venna!" I said to Grunt.
Details
10
16 426 "Excellent! Excellent!" "Do you know her?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
16 430 "What is wrong?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
16 443 "No," said Grunt.
Details
10
16 447 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 1 Cuwignaka; Sleen, Yellow Knives and Kaiila "This is the lad of whom the Waniyanpi spoke," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 7 "Is this the fellow you thought it might be?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
18 13 "He is Dust Leg," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 17 "I have spoken Dust Leg to him, and Kaiila, and some Fleer," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 20 "We are white," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 22 "I do not think he will last much longer," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 30 "Do not consider interfering," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 33 "He is in the care of the Waniyanpi," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 37 "He is in the care of the Waniyanpi," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 39 "Do not interfere," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 43 "Do not," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 51 "Leave him," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 53 "It would have done nothing anyway," said Grunt, "but prolong his agony".
Details
10
18 54 "What is the significance of this lance," I asked, "with the cloth wound about it?" "It is a warrior's lance," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 58 "You are probably right," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 61 "Yes," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 63 "We must be on our way," said Grunt, nervously.
Details
10
18 66 Then, too, this had seemed to disturb Grunt.
Details
10
18 69 "What are you doing!" said Grunt.
Details
10
18 72 "Do not kill him," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 74 "Stop!" said Grunt.
Details
10
18 76 "You understand nothing of the Barrens," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 79 "The Waniyanpi would have done so," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 81 "See the lance, the dress," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 83 "He did not support his comrades in arms," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 95 "No," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 102 "Stop," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 107 "Will you truly loose your shaft at me?" I asked Grunt, not turning about.
Details
10
18 110 "I do not wish to fire," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 146 "Now you have done it," said Grunt, glumly.
Details
10
18 148 "I?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
18 157 "Sleen, and Yellow Knives," said Grunt, "and Kaiila, too".
Details
10
18 162 The lance near him, too, that about which was wound the white dress, was, according to Grunt, a lance from that tribe.
Details
10
18 164 "I feared this," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 171 "That is camp smoke," said Grunt, "cooking for the evening meal".
Details
10
18 173 I now, for the first time, fully, understood Grunt's earlier noticed lack of ease.
Details
10
18 175 "They have superior advantages in numbers and arms," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 187 "The nearest are Sleen," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 195 "You are Kaiila," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 197 "We will expect you, then," said Grunt, "to intercede for us with the Kaiila".
Details
10
18 199 "Oh," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 202 "They may want only gifts," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 206 "Only generous gifts, hopefully," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 209 "What is your name?" asked Grunt.
Details
10
18 212 "Woman's Dress," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 215 Grunt spit disgustedly into the grass.
Details
10
18 217 "It means the same, only in Kaiila," said Grunt.
Details
10
18 231 "Smile," said Grunt.
Details
10
19 11 Grunt stood behind, his fists clenched.
