10 |
| 7 | 489 |
Ute and I, tied together by the throat, but otherwise unimpeded, wearing our camisks, like the other girls, under a guard, went off with two buckets to gather berries. |
10 |
| 7 | 492 |
We were not supposed to eat the berries, and I do not think Ute did, but I would slip them inside my mouth when the guard was not looking. |
10 |
| 7 | 517 |
"You were foolish to hire mercenaries to guard you," said Targo. |
10 |
| 7 | 560 |
A guard pulled me away. |
10 |
| 8 | 35 |
The grizzled, one-eyed guard unlocked the ankle bar, lifting it. |
10 |
| 8 | 182 |
He spoke to the one-eyed guard, who stood behind him. |
10 |
| 8 | 184 |
The one-eyed guard nodded. |
10 |
| 8 | 188 |
Then Targo and the one-eyed guard returned toward the stern of the barge, where two of the bargemen handled the great steering oars. |
10 |
| 8 | 269 |
The man bowed low to the guard in mock apology. |
10 |
| 8 | 281 |
The one-eyed, grizzled guard stood near Targo. |
10 |
| 8 | 286 |
"She might," said the guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 290 |
"Yes," said the guard, "but there is a good market for white silkers". |
10 |
| 8 | 294 |
When I looked up again Targo and the guard were elsewhere. |
10 |
| 8 | 306 |
Then there was a jerk at my neck, on the binding fiber, and the guard prodded me ahead with the butt of his spear. |
10 |
| 8 | 388 |
Returning from the market they would call at the building, at which time I and my guard would go outside. |
10 |
| 8 | 389 |
There I would be leashed with the others again, the burdens would be redistributed, I would take up my share, and, carrying my burden as a slave girl, on the head, balancing it with one hand, I and the others, under guard, would return to the compound. |
10 |
| 8 | 407 |
The guard had strictly forbidden me to speak to the physician, other than to answer his questions, which I was to do promptly and accurately, regardless of their nature. |
10 |
| 8 | 415 |
The guard nodded. |
10 |
| 8 | 418 |
The guard took me and threw me, belly down, on the platform, fastening my wrists over my head and widely apart, in leather wrist straps. |
10 |
| 8 | 431 |
The guard, with the side of the butt of his spear, pressed against my back, and I was thrust from the room. |
10 |
| 8 | 434 |
Outside the other four girls and their guard were waiting. |
10 |
| 8 | 441 |
"The serums are effective," he told the guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 442 |
"Good," said the guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 443 |
On the second day, after the shot, I had tried to speak to the physician, in spite of the guard, to beg him for information. |
10 |
| 8 | 444 |
The guard did not beat me but he slapped me twice, bringing blood to my mouth. |
10 |
| 8 | 446 |
Later, outside, the guard looked at me, amused. |
10 |
| 8 | 451 |
I had seen him, once or twice, tell a girl to ask a guard to beat her. |
10 |
| 8 | 453 |
And the guard uses not the handful of leather straps with which Lana, only with her woman's strength, had struck me, but the five-strap Gorean slave whip, wielded with the full, terrible strength of a man. |
10 |
| 8 | 456 |
No, I shook my head, no! "Does the little slave beg her guard's forgiveness?" he asked, teasing me. |
10 |
| 8 | 469 |
"Ho!" said a voice, that of the other guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 471 |
Angrily, my guard released me and I staggered back. |
10 |
| 8 | 472 |
"She is white silk!" said the other guard, laughing uproariously. |
10 |
| 8 | 474 |
My guard, however, with a great laugh, seized me and, like a naughty child, threw me across his knee. |
10 |
| 8 | 481 |
"She's a lovely, isn't she?" said the guard who had interfered. |
10 |
| 8 | 482 |
"She is learning the tricks of the slave girl," said my guard, grinning, breathing heavily. |
10 |
| 8 | 483 |
The other guard looked at me. |
10 |
| 8 | 493 |
When I left his house on the fifth day I heard him tell the guard, "An excellent specimen". |
10 |
| 8 | 496 |
I suddenly realized, climbing the ramps of Laura toward the compound, leashed, under guard, carrying a jar of wine on my head, balancing it with my right hand, among my sisters in bondage, breathing the fantastic air of Gor, that I was happy. |
10 |
| 8 | 508 |
Once Ute caught me holding the tunic of the guard who had watched me at the physician's against my cheek, my eyes closed. |
10 |
| 8 | 538 |
"Work," said a guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 549 |
"I want a master! I want a master!" "Return to your work," said a guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 597 |
I ran to the barred gate of the compound and the guard unlocked it, and I went inside, and then he closed the gate, relocking it. |
10 |
| 8 | 664 |
During this time his beast slept, or seemed to sleep, behind him, curled on the grass, a guard holding its chain. |
10 |
| 8 | 665 |
Then the mountebank, with a bow, turned to the animal and, taking its chain from the guard, spoke to it, abruptly and authoritatively. |
10 |
| 8 | 754 |
We were different! I recalled how a guard had once given me his spear, and it had been so heavy, I could throw it only a few feet. |
10 |
| 8 | 907 |
"No!" "Run!" cried the guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 938 |
Elinor Brinton had done well for her guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 958 |
"Paga!" called the guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 961 |
The guard handed me a piece of meat and I took it in my teeth kneeling beside him, where he sat cross-legged, I lifting and squeezing the bota of paga, filled from one of the large jugs, guiding the stream of liquid into his mouth. |
10 |
| 8 | 963 |
The guard, with one hand, gestured that he had had enough. |
10 |
| 8 | 985 |
I took the hand of the guard near whom I knelt, and placed it at my waist, slipping his fingers inside the double loop of binding fiber that belted my camisk, that he might hold me. |
10 |
| 8 | 1009 |
The guard who held her then threw her to the grass at their feet. |
10 |
| 8 | 1011 |
Would she be beaten? "If you have so much energy," said the guard who had torn away the camisk, "you may dance for us". |
10 |
| 8 | 1018 |
Meanwhile the Ka-la-na bottle was brought forth again by another guard. |
10 |
| 8 | 1034 |
I became aware, suddenly, that the hand of the guard near whom I knelt, his fist, was in the binding fiber that belted my camisk. |
10 |
| 9 | 68 |
I recalled with shame how I had, near the fire, placing my guard's hand in my binding fiber, encouraged my own ravishment as a slave girl, and how I had knelt, my hair falling about his face, to kiss him. |
10 |
| 11 | 42 |
"No!" A guard dragged the distraught Lady Rena of Lydius, a slave girl, back to her place in the line. |
10 |
| 11 | 71 |
I smiled as Lana was dragged, weeping, by a guard to her place in line. |
10 |
| 11 | 74 |
A guard, holding her by the arm, half carried her to the wall, where he left her. |
10 |
| 11 | 117 |
She tried to pull them from her ears and the guard, angrily, cuffed her, and, with a foot of binding fiber, lashed her wrists behind her body. |
10 |
| 11 | 215 |
Another guard pulled my hands behind my back and my wrists were lashed together. |
10 |
| 11 | 218 |
Another guard put his left arm about my throat, from behind, and with his right hand in my hair, pulled my head back, holding it still. |
10 |
| 11 | 220 |
The guard's arm on my throat was tight. |
10 |
| 11 | 238 |
A guard, not much pleased with me, dragged me stumbling, eyes filled with tears, moaning with misery, from the platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 361 |
As I passed by a guard, as a slave girl passes a man, he seized me by the arm and held me, almost jerking me off my feet, pulling me to him. |
10 |
| 11 | 386 |
How I hated Inge! Could she not see that these things were innocent, that they were mere accidents, that I had merely tripped! But, of course, I also mistrusted the guard. |
10 |
| 11 | 408 |
And clearly this amused the guard, the brute. |
10 |
| 11 | 430 |
I had attracted the guard. |
10 |
| 11 | 441 |
"Camisk," said a guard, and I slipped out of the garment and handed it to him. |
10 |
| 11 | 444 |
Let him see how beautiful I am! I remembered the other guard. |
10 |
| 11 | 450 |
The guard then looked toward Inge, within the cage, and, instantly, under his eye, she stood straight, exhibiting herself as I had, as a lovely stripped slave. |
10 |
| 11 | 452 |
"She is a nice cutlet of slave meat, don't you think so, El-in-or?" asked the guard. |
10 |
| 11 | 458 |
The guard opened the small door to the cage. |
10 |
| 11 | 527 |
Inge then came forward with two small thongs, probably wheedled from a guard. |
10 |
| 11 | 535 |
"You may call the guard," she said, "for brushes and water, and fresh straw". |
10 |
| 11 | 544 |
The guard brought fresh straw, and water in a leather bucket, and a heavily bristled brush. |
10 |
| 11 | 584 |
"It is time to leave for the private pens, for morning training," said a guard, passing by. |
10 |
| 11 | 637 |
A guard was now in the cage and had each of us, separated, bent over, held by the hair. |
10 |
| 11 | 658 |
"The guard was outside," said Lana. |
10 |
| 11 | 663 |
The guard grinned. |
10 |
| 11 | 669 |
The guard, then, pulling me by the hair, dragged me to one side of the cage. |
10 |
| 11 | 673 |
The guard then left the cage, locking the gate behind him. |
10 |
| 11 | 689 |
The next morning, when the guard unbound our hair from the crossbars, Inge and I collapsed to the steel plating that floored our cage. |
10 |
| 11 | 716 |
But, unlike Inge, I was a superb, and exciting, slave! I heard the sandals of the guard approaching, outside, on the grating before the tier of cages. |
10 |
| 11 | 914 |
"Sometimes he comes north, with some hundred tarnsmen, for the hunting in the forests," said the guard. |
10 |
| 11 | 916 |
"Sleen, panthers, women," said the guard. |
10 |
| 11 | 918 |
"He hunts for a week or two," said the guard, "and then returns to Ar". |
10 |
| 11 | 927 |
"Yes," said the guard, "Verna, an outlaw girl". |
10 |
| 11 | 935 |
"It is said she is beautiful," said the guard. |
10 |
| 11 | 1020 |
I heard the step of a guard outside. |
10 |
| 11 | 1073 |
A guard looked at me, curiously. |
10 |
| 11 | 1289 |
* * * * "Slaves out," said the guard, turning the key in the heavy lock and swinging back the barred gate of the cage. |
10 |
| 11 | 1339 |
I waited for him to call a guard, to bring the lash. |
10 |
| 12 | 25 |
Ute had her back to me, and the guard, too. |
10 |
| 12 | 49 |
She was not facing me, nor was the guard. |
10 |
| 12 | 51 |
Neither she nor the guard noticed. |
10 |
| 12 | 52 |
Ute and the guard were stupid. |
10 |
| 12 | 71 |
A guard then entered the wagon, with ten sets of chains and ankle rings over his shoulder. |
10 |
| 12 | 120 |
Here and there, among the wagons, leashed, clad in short woolen skirts, heavy bands of iron hammered about their throats, under the guard of huntsmen, cowled in the heads of forest panthers, there walked male slaves, male outlaws captured by Marlenus and his hunters in the forest. |
10 |
| 12 | 425 |
Neither she nor the guard were watching, so I stole some more of her berries for my bucket. |
10 |
| 12 | 537 |
We heard the guard call again. |
10 |
| 12 | 565 |
I looked about to see if the guard was watching. |
10 |
| 12 | 585 |
I felt, in more than one such tie, that if a guard had so much as touched me, perhaps as the small man had done, back in New York City, I might have exploded. |
10 |
| 12 | 602 |
The point of the neck tether, of course, was to keep Ute and I together, certainly as there was only one guard. |
10 |
| 12 | 616 |
Ute, too, and the guard, at the same time, heard it. |
10 |
| 12 | 627 |
What seemed most clear to me, and most incomprehensible, was that our guard had left us. |
10 |
| 12 | 663 |
The guard had knotted the binding fiber, tightly. |
10 |
| 14 | 165 |
"Girls may not linger by the gate," said a guard. |
10 |
| 14 | 176 |
"Move on, Girl," said the guard. |
10 |
| 14 | 238 |
The guard who had spoken to me rose to his feet. |
10 |
| 15 | 2 |
The guard, by the hair, threw me to her feet. |
10 |
| 15 | 21 |
"She is frightened," said the guard. |
10 |
| 15 | 27 |
"You may leave us," said Ute to the guard. |
10 |
| 15 | 30 |
The guard turned and left. |
10 |
| 15 | 102 |
"Guard!" called Ute. |
10 |
| 15 | 103 |
A guard approached. |
10 |
| 15 | 105 |
I lifted my tightly bound wrists to the guard, and he undid the knots. |
10 |
| 15 | 107 |
"You may now leave us," said Ute to the guard, and he left. |
10 |
| 15 | 551 |
A guard was with us, and we were charged with filling our leather buckets with ram-berries, a small, reddish fruit with edible seeds, not unlike tiny plums, save for the many small seeds. |
10 |
| 15 | 590 |
Ute had then said to the guard, "Leash her". |
10 |
| 15 | 601 |
When neither the guard nor Techne were looking I stole berries from her buckets, to put in mine, handfuls. |
10 |
| 15 | 604 |
Ute and the guard had never seen. |
10 |
| 15 | 607 |
The guard handed our buckets to other girls to be taken to the kitchen shed, and he then unleashed us. |
10 |
| 15 | 627 |
Ute turned to the guard. |
10 |
| 15 | 633 |
"Sometimes the guard sees you, sometimes he sees the shadow, or he hears what you are doing, or he sees the different amounts in the buckets. |
10 |
| 15 | 637 |
"You frequently stole from me," said Ute, "but I asked the guard, who also knew, not to inform on you". |
10 |
| 15 | 645 |
Ute looked at the guard. |
10 |
| 15 | 675 |
"Now," said Ute, "ask a guard to brand and beat you". |
10 |
| 15 | 873 |
After Inge and Rena had finished their work, even to the cleaning of my hair, a guard, summoned, not much pleased, carried me, helpless and in pain, back to the shed for female work slaves. |
10 |
| 15 | 940 |
If a guard even lifted one, I would cringe. |
10 |
| 16 | 51 |
Would I be again summoned to his tent? But he had called a guard. |
10 |
| 16 | 52 |
"Yes, Captain," had said the guard. |
10 |
| 16 | 54 |
"Yes, Captain," said the guard, and left. |
10 |
| 16 | 84 |
"Guard!" he called. |
10 |
| 16 | 85 |
A guard entered the tent. |
10 |
| 16 | 88 |
"Come, Girl," said the guard. |
10 |
| 16 | 91 |
What did I care that the girl, Talena, was tonight sent to the tent of Rask of Treve? I hated him! I hated her, even more than him! I wished the guard had not taken my clothes. |
10 |
| 16 | 136 |
Had I been able I would have cried outside his tent, struggling even with the guard for entrance. |
10 |
| 17 | 215 |
Another was the guard who had escorted me to the house of the physician, whom I had once provoked. |

"She attempted to serve as a slave," said Marlenus, "to put us off our guard". |
10 |

Then, quietly, from the rear, my hand would close over the mouth of the guard. |
10 |

I would then locate another guard, and repeat the same stratagem. |

A lesser protection and control of the salt, though a not unformidable one, lies in the policing of the desert by the Salt Ubar, or the Guard of the Dunes. |

| 13 | 69 |
For example, caravans between Red Rock, and certain other oases, and the salt districts, will travel under an escort of the Guard of the Dunes. |
10 |

Even these caravans, of course, once in the dune country are accompanied by the men of the Guard of the Dunes. |

"It is customary for the men of the Guard of the Dunes to veil themselves," said he. |
10 |
| 13 | 353 |
In the historic sense, the planetary sense, there would have been only one likely "Abdul" in the Tahari at this time, the potent, powerful, dreaded Guard of the Dunes, the Salt Ubar. |
10 |

We were turned about and taken from the audience hall of the Guard of the Dunes, Abdul, the Salt Ubar, he who was Ibn Saran. |
