Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
32 211 When the door opened I found myself once more in the Hall of Priest-Kings, though the great dome above it was now broken and portions of it had fallen to the floor of the hall.
Details
10
1 2 It came about late in the month of En'Kara in the year 10,117 from the founding of the city of Ar that I came to the Hall of Priest-Kings in the Sardar Mountains on the planet Gor, our Counter-Earth.
Details
10
2 42 The journey to the Hall of Priest-Kings was not as difficult as I had anticipated.
Details
10
3 39 Yet I supposed this seemingly impervious wall must house the portal of the Hall of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
3 96 Only the rumbling growl of the now sullen mountain larls as I passed between them convinced me that I could not be dreaming, that I had come at last to the Hall of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
4 1 The Hall of Priest-Kings As I followed the man who called himself Parp down the stone passage, the portal behind me closed.
Details
10
4 11 Then we came to a large hall.
Details
10
4 111 In the far distance, perhaps from some passage leading away from the Hall of Priest-Kings, I heard the roar of a larl.
Details
10
4 121 I wondered why I had been allowed to reach the Sardar, to find the Hall of Priest-Kings, to stand before this throne.
Details
10
4 122 Suddenly there was the sound of a distant, reverberating gong, a dull but penetrating sound which carried from somewhere even into the Hall of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
4 132 Then it seemed in the impending darkness in the Hall of Priest-Kings as he looked down on me that the pupils of his eyes for an instant glowed briefly, fiercely, like two tiny fiery disks of molten copper.
Details
10
4 136 Then again came the sound of that great unseen gong, that distant sound, dull, penetrating, reverberating even in the vastness of the great hall in which we stood.
Details
10
4 137 With a cry of terror Parp cast one last wild glance about the Hall of Priest-Kings and stumbled behind the great throne.
Details
10
4 146 Once more the distant and unseen gong rang out, and once more the Hall of Priest-Kings seemed filled with its ominous vibrations.
Details
10
4 155 Then seized by an impulse I sat myself down on the great throne in the Hall of Priest-Kings, drew my sword and placed it across my knees.
Details
10
4 157 For some reason I laughed and my laugh was the laugh of a warrior of Gor, full and mighty, unafraid, and it roared in the dark and lonely Hall of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
5 136 "Long ago," she said, "when I first came to the Sardar and found the Hall of Priest-Kings, I was a young and foolish girl.
Details
10
5 173 Perhaps Parp was the last of the Priest-Kings? Surely it seemed likely that such massive structures as the Hall of Priest-Kings must have been the product of more than one being.
Details
10
6 124 Suddenly in the distance I heard the rumble of the gong which I had heard before in the Hall of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
7 17 I would not have enjoyed sleeping in such a room, for there was no way to protect oneself from the hall, and of course eventually one would need sleep.
Details
10
7 59 * * * * After some hours I found myself again in the Hall of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
7 86 My decision was motivated in part by the fact that the hall allowed few concealments for ambush and I would presumably see my pursuer almost as soon as he saw me.
Details
10
8 215 I walked from the room into the dimly lit hall.
Details
10
13 2 "This is the Hall of Processing," said one of them.
Details
10
13 37 Down the hall running towards us, not frantically but rather deliberately, at a steady pace, came a young human female, of perhaps eighteen years of age, with shaved head and clad in the brief plastic tunic of a Mul.
Details
10
13 50 "She is a messenger," said the other, "who carries scent-tapes between portals in the Hall of Processing".
Details
10
13 76 Then all three of us turned to watch the girl, who was now no more than a bluish speck under the energy bulbs far down the hall.
Details
10
13 84 "Well," I said, still looking down the hall, "I would have supposed that the mighty Priest-Kings could have devised a quicker way of transporting scent-tapes".
Details
10
13 90 All three of us stared down the hall after the girl, but she had now disappeared in the distance.
Details
10
13 93 I laughed and clapped both of the slaves on the shoulders, and the three of us, arm in arm, walked down the hall.
Details
10
14 42 I was still quite ill when, clad in a red plastic tunic, I rejoined the two slaves in the hall outside the door.
Details
10
14 58 I leaned back against the portal of the Hall of Processing, my eyes closed, and took several slow, deep breaths.
Details
10
14 67 I could feel them gently take my arms and I accompanied them slowly down the hall.
Details
10
27 7 I had not walked far from the Vivarium before I was able to regather my general directions in the Nest and, as I walked impatiently along, I spied a transportation disk docked, so to speak, hovering on its cushion of gas, outside one of the tall steel portals of the Hall of Commissaries.
Details
10
27 10 I was soon gliding rapidly down the hall on my, let us say, considering the significance and urgency of my mission, commandeered vehicle.
Details
10
27 11 I had gone not more than a pasang or so when I spun the disk to a stop before another portal in the Hall of Commissaries.

10
19 68 Here we climbed several low, broad marble steps and passed down a columned porch and entered the central building, finding ourselves in a dim, lamp-lit hall, bestrewn with carpets and cushions and decorated, here and there, with carved, reticulated white screening.
Details

19 69 There were seven or eight girls, clad in Pleasure Silks, sleeping in this hall, scattered about, curled up on cushions.

10
19 77 Soon Harold had left the central hall and was making his way down a long, carpeted, lamp-hung corridor.
Details
10
19 82 At last we came to a largish room, but much smaller than the main hall, in which there were some seventeen beauties strewn about, all in Pleasure Silk.
Details
10
19 203 In a short while Harold, carrying the struggling Hereena, and I had retraced our steps to the central hall and descended the steps of the porch and returned by means of the curving walks between the shrubs and pools to the flower tree by means of which we had originally entered the Pleasure Gardens ...

Details
10
26 125 Not hurrying Kamchak walked his kaiila up the stairs of the house and, on kaiilaback, entered the main hall of the House of Saphrar.
Details
10
26 126 In the main hall he looked about and then, Harold and I following, and the man with the two sleen, and the slaves with gold, and his archers and other men, he began to walk his kaiila forward, across the broad marble tiles, following the terrified Saphrar of Turia.
Details
10
26 131 We passed through the banquet hall, where long before we had been entertained by the fleeing merchant.
Details
10
26 296 I was only partly cognizant of these things, for I was overcome with grief, kneeling in Saphrar's audience hall before the shards of the shattered golden sphere.
Details
10
27 48 Was it only because Kamchak believed, as he had once said, that the Wagon Peoples must have an enemy? —or was there some other reason, beyond that? Suddenly there was commotion at the door and three men, followed by some others, burst into the hall.

1 3 Before me, over the long, heavy table behind which I sat, I could see the large tiles of the hall floor.

10
1 10 The hall was dark.
Details
10
1 12 The hall was silent.
Details
10
1 14 The hall was large, and empty and silent.
Details
10
1 16 Seldom did I have my chair carried from the hall.
Details
10
1 70 I looked about the hall, at the great walls of stone, the long table, the tiles, the narrow apertures through which I could glimpse the far stars, burning in the scape of the night.

1 85 That young man with fiery hair, laughing, innocent, seemed far from me now, this huddled mass, half paralyzed, bitter, like a maimed larl, sitting alone in a captain's chair, in a great darkened hall.
Details
10
1 136 I was rich! I gazed into the darkness of the hall.
Details
10
1 196 But the Goreans have a saying, which came to me in the darkness, in the hall.
Details
10
1 208 But how could I live, I, a cripple, huddled in the chair of a captain, in a darkened hall? I was rich, but I envied the meanest herder of verr, the lowest peasant scattering dung in his furrows, for they could move as they pleased.
Details
10
1 215 But I could still command steel, that of my men, who, for no reason I understood, they Goreans, remained true to me, loyal to a cripple, confined to a captain's chair in a darkened hall.
Details
10
1 222 But I had had my chair carried to his hall.
Details
10
1 417 She turned and strode toward the door of the hall.
Details
10
1 433 I now sat in my own hall, in the darkness, thinking on many things.
Details
10
1 564 The hall was lit.

10
1 714 I turned and strode toward the door of the hall.

2 5 The High Initiate of Kassau, a town at the northern brink of the forest, sat still in his white robes, in his tall hat, on the throne to the right, within the white rail that separated the sanctuary of Initiates from the common ground of the hall, where those not anointed by the grease of Priest-Kin...

2 73 A hall built with Ka-la-na wood, for example, is thought a great luxury.

3 199 "In the north, my pretty maids," Ivar assured them, "the burdens you carry will be more prosaic, bundles of wood for the fires, buckets of water for the hall, baskets of dung for the fields".
Details
10
4 202 "Your Hall is taken," said the Forkbeard.
Details
10
4 204 The taking of the Hall, in the Kaissa of the North, is equivalent to the capture of the Home Stone in the south.

10
4 208 The hall had been taken in the middle game.

6 1 Ivar Forkbeard's Long Hall There was a great cheer from the men of Ivar Forkbeard.
Details
10
6 66 It would be holiday, I gathered, at the hall of Ivar Forkbeard.
Details
10
6 307 "Your hall," said I to the Forkbeard, "is scarcely what I had expected".
Details
10
6 309 Indeed, the true hall, lofty, high-beamed, built of logs and boards, with its benches and high-seat pillars, its carvings and hangings, its long fires, its suspended kettles, was actually quite rare, and, generally, only the richest of the Jarls possessed such.
Details
10
6 310 The hall of Ivar Forkbeard, I learned, to my surprise, was of a type much more common.
Details
10
6 314 If a man of Torvaldsland must choose between his hall and his ship, it is the ship which, invariably, wins his choice.
Details
10
6 315 Furthermore, of course, were it not for goods won by his ship or ships, it would be unlikely that he would have the means to build a hall and house within it his men.
Details
10
6 318 The hall of Ivar Forkbeard was a longhouse.
Details
10
6 330 The center of the hall, down its length, is dug out about a foot below the ground level.
Details
10
6 333 At the edges of the hall, at ground level, is a dirt floor, on which furs are spread.
Details
10
6 335 Thus, in a sense, the hall proper is about a foot below ground level, and the sleeping level, on each side, is at the ground level, where the walls begin.
Details
10
6 338 The two bondmaids, stripped, too, like the others, for the feast, Pretty Ankles and Pouting Lips, struggled down the length of the smoky, dark hall, a spitted, roasted tarsk on their shoulders.
Details
10
6 352 "That is one reason," said he, "that my hall is not of wood".
Details
10
6 367 Surely you could have a hall of wood, if you wished".
Details
10
6 418 Another of the new girls was thrown over one of the benches; she lay on her back; her head was down, her dark hair, long, wild, was in the dirt and reeds, strewn on the floor of the hall; her head twisted from side to side; her eyes were closed; her lips were parted; I saw her teeth.
Details
10
6 426 In his hall, it was said he fed a thousand men.
Details
10
6 473 "I think, soon," said he, "his daughter might be fetched to the hall of Ivar Forkbeard".
Details
10
6 480 In a moment, through the dark, smoky hall, returned Gunnhild, bearing a great horn of mead.
Details
10
6 491 Though the hall of Ivar Forkbeard was built only of turf and stone, and though he himself was outlaw, he had met me at its door, after I had been bidden wait outside, in his finest garments of scarlet and gold, and carrying a bowl of water and a towel.
Details
10
6 492 "Welcome to the hall of Ivar Forkbeard," he had said.
Details
10
6 495 Then from his chests, within the hall, he had given me a long, swirling cloak of the fur of sea sleen; a bronze-headed spear; a shield of painted wood, reinforced with bosses of iron; the shield was red in color, the bosses enameled yellow; a helmet, conical, of iron, with hanging chain, and a steel...
Details
10
6 519 At the foot of the ground level, which is the sleeping level, which lies about a foot above the dug-out floor, the long center of the hall, on the floor, against the raised dirt, here and there, were rounded logs, laid lengthwise.
Details
10
6 521 If one thinks of the sleeping level, on each side, as constituting, in effect, a couch, almost the length of the hall, except for the cooking area, the logs lie at the foot of these two couches, and parallel to their foot.

10
6 570 Male thralls are chained for the night in the bosk sheds; bondmaids are kept in the hall, for the pleasure of the free men.
Details
10
7 25 "Yes, Jarl," said they, turning, and hurrying toward the hall.
Details
10
7 84 This is a stout post, outside the hall, of peeled wood, with an iron ring near the top, to which the wrists of a bondmaid, crossed, are lashed over her head.
Details
10
7 92 When we left the side of the hall we had stopped, briefly, to watch Gunnhild and Pouting Lips at the standing looms.
Details
10
7 97 On the way back to the hall, cutting through the tospit trees, we had passed by the sul patch.
Details
10
7 199 She turned and ran toward the hall, but, after a few steps turned, and faced me.
Details
10
7 200 "I await your discipline, my Jarl," she cried, and then turned again, and fled, that fine young lady of Kassau, barefoot and collared, now only a bondmaid, to the hall, to the furs, to await her discipline.
Details
10
7 257 I heard the heavy breathing of the men in the hall.
Details
10
7 265 In the same instant I felt myself seized in great, clawed paws and lifted high into the air of the hall.
Details
10
7 306 With chains and poles the body of the Kur was dragged and thrust from the hall.
Details
10
7 317 "I hope," I said, "that it was not because of me that it came to the hall".
Details
10
7 321 "Why did it enter the hall?" I asked.
Details
10
7 329 "Have you killed a verr here, and a bosk?" "And, in the hall," it said, its lips drawing back from its jaws, "last night a man".
Details
10
8 293 "How will you know the one of the Kurii whom you seek?" Ivar had asked me, in his hall.
Details
10
9 112 The bondmaids, laughing, dragged Hilda to the post, stout, of peeled wood, which stood outside the hall.
Details
10
9 161 "Go now to the kitchen of the hall," said he.
Details
10
9 177 Weeping, clutching her clothing, she ran to the hall.
Details
10
9 181 * * * * The shrieking of Pouting Lips, as she yielded to Gorm, supine, kicking in the furs, rang through the low, smoking hall.
Details
10
9 203 The hall roared with pleasure.
Details
10
9 205 His daughter, stripped, poured mead in the hall of his enemies.
Details
10
9 262 He then left, following Gorm, who had dragged Hilda from the hall.
Details
10
9 317 I lit the way with the torch, and we took her to the hall of the Forkbeard.
Details
10
9 318 We carried her through the darkness and smoke of the hall, between the posts.
Details
10
9 362 Within an Ahn, Hilda the Haughty, to the jeers of men, the taunts of bondmaids, on her hands and knees, head down, hair falling forward, crept to the circle of the bondmaid, which Ivar Forkbeard had drawn in the dirt of the hall floor, between the posts.
Details
10
9 379 The delicious little thing, like the other goods of the hall, was, for most practical purposes, for the use of us all.
Details
10
10 383 At her waist she wore a jeweled scabbard, protruding from which I saw the ornamented, twisted blade of a Turian dagger; free women in Torvaldsland commonly carry a knife; at her belt, too, hung her scissors, and a ring of many keys, indicating that her hall contained many chests or doors; her hair w...
Details
10
10 624 I did not wish, incidentally, even if I could, to give him a gift commensurate with what he had, in his hospitality, bestowed upon me; the host, in Torvaldsland, should make the greatest gifts; it is, after all, his house or hall; if his guest should make him greater gifts than he makes the guest th...
Details
10
12 89 "And, too," begged the Forkbeard, "by the fires of your hearth, by the timbers of the hall and the pillars of your high seat".
Details
10
12 92 "Very well," said the Blue Tooth, "I swear by the ship's side, the shield's rim, the sword's edge, the fires of my hearth, the timbers of my hall and the pillars of the high seat in my house".
Details
10
13 2 The interior hall, not counting rooms leading from it on various sides, or the balcony which lined it, leading to other rooms, was some forty feet high, and forty feet in width, some two hundred feet in length.
Details
10
13 4 Behind this table, its back to the western wall, facing the length of the hall, facing east, was the high seat, or the rightful seat, the seat of the master of the house.
Details
10
13 15 There was, extending almost the length of the hall, a pit for a "long fire," over which food was prepared for retainers.
Details
10
13 16 On the long sides of the hall, on the north and south, there were long tables, with benches.
Details
10
13 19 If one sat between the salt and the high seat, one sat "above" the salt; if one sat between the salt and the entrance to the hall, one sat "below" the salt.
Details
10
13 22 The division was made approximately at the third of the hall closest to the high seat, but could shift, depending on the numbers of those in attendance worthy to be above the salt.
Details
10
13 23 The line, so to speak, imaginary to be sure, but definitely felt as a social reality, dividing those above from those below the salt, was uniformly "drawn" across the width of the hall.
Details
10
13 32 I describe those appointments characterizing the hall of Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 33 It is common, however, for the entrance of the hall to be oriented toward the morning sun, and for the high seat to face the entrance.
Details
10
13 37 About the edges of the hall hung the shields of warriors, with their weapons.
Details
10
13 41 The hall was ornately carved, and, above the shields, decorated with cunningly sewn tapestries and hangings.
Details
10
13 115 "I frown upon you, and would not let you within the doors of my hall," said Svein Blue Tooth, "because you are the greatest scoundrel and rogue in Torvaldsland!" I could see that this compliment much pleased the Forkbeard, who, a vain fellow, was jealous of his reputation.
Details
10
13 127 "May I pay my respects to you this night in your hall?" asked the Forkbeard.
Details
10
13 132 "Come tonight to our hall, Champion," said she.
Details
10
13 144 * * * * We had fed well in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 152 It was not unusual, incidentally, that the floor of the great hall, rich as it was, was of dirt, strewn with rushes.
Details
10
13 154 When the Forkbeard, and I, and other followers, many of them bearing riches, entered the hall we had been given a room to one side, in which we might wash and dry ourselves before the feast.
Details
10
13 161 Looking out through the window I could see the palisade about the hall and its associated buildings.
Details
10
13 162 The palisade enclosed some two acres; within it were many shops and storage houses, even an ice house; in the center, of course, reared the great hall itself, that rude, high-roofed palace of the north, the house of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 205 The hall was light.
Details
10
13 212 * * * * We had fed well in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 220 More than one minstrel, too, was driven from the hall, the target of barrages of bones and plates.
Details
10
13 234 No Jarl I knew can hold men in his hall unless there are ample women for them.
Details
10
13 239 After the entertainers had been driven from the hall and much food had been eaten, Svein Blue Tooth, who had showed much patience, said to Ivar Forkbeard, "It is my understanding that you believe yourself to have that wherewith your deed's wergild might be met".
Details
10
13 246 To the astonishment of all those in the hall, from the side room, boxes and sacks of gold were brought forth, by the Forkbeard's men, and, too, a large, heavy sack of leather, filled with tiny objects.
Details
10
13 271 I had no doubt that the spilled glory heaped gleaming in the dirt of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth was what it seemed, true stones, and an incredible treasure.
Details
10
13 298 Even the men of Svein Blue Tooth, perhaps a thousand in the hall, were angry.
Details
10
13 305 The Forkbeard turned and, facing the entrance of the hall, called out, "Bring forth the female".
Details
10
13 306 There was no sound in the great hall, save the crackle of the fires and torches.
Details
10
13 308 From the doors to the hall, swung wide, now approaching, came four figures, Ottar, who had accompanied the Forkbeard to the Thing, two of the Forkbeard's men, with spears, and, between them, clad in rich robes of concealment, such as are worn in the south, even to the veils, the figure of a girl.
Details
10
13 318 "I was once in the hall of Thorgard.
Details
10
13 335 I have been in his hall.
Details
10
13 345 There was a great cheer from the men in the hall, both those of Ivar Forkbeard and those of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 354 There was another great cheer in the hall.
Details
10
13 402 It seemed we would come alive, after all, out of the hall of the Blue Tooth.
Details
10
13 416 "But who has told you that I choose to meet it?" Suddenly the men in the hall, both those of the Forkbeard and of Svein Blue Tooth, began to cheer.
Details
10
13 425 Then, to the astonishment of all Torvaldsland, and most to that of Svein Blue Tooth, the Forkbeard, redoubtable, after earning six talmits in the contests, delivered to his hall the very wergild no man had supposed it possible to pay, and had then, arrogantly, before the high seat of the Blue Tooth ...
Details
10
13 434 Then there was silence in that high-roofed hall.
Details
10
13 441 "The hall is afire!" cried one man.
Details
10
13 448 Then one leapt within the hall.
Details
10
13 453 This cry, like a stimulus, acted upon the others, as well; almost instantly, with the velocity that the stranger signal can course through a pack of urts, this shriek was picked up by those with it; then, the hall filled with their horrid howling, eyes blazing, led by the Kur with the golden band, f...
Details
10
14 1 The Forkbeard and I Depart From the Hall of Svein Blue Tooth I saw half of the body of a man spinning crazily past.
Details
10
14 2 Kurii leapt down the long sides of the hall, slashing, cutting men down as they fled to their weapons.
Details
10
14 4 More than once the blades of the Kurii axes bit through the spines of men, reaching for their weapons, and splintered, gouging, in the beams of the hall.
Details
10
14 16 The hall rang with their howling.
Details
10
14 20 Then it threw the man more than a hundred feet against the back of the hall.
Details
10
14 42 Some men, behind Kurii, fled away, out of the great, opened, double doors of the hall.
Details
10
14 45 Many fled into the axes of the Kurii in the yard of the hall.
Details
10
14 76 The Kur who had taken the girl then took another leash from the interior of his shield, where there were several wrapped about the shield straps, and surveyed the hall.
Details
10
14 78 Methodically, moving her toward a corner of the hall, leash swinging, he followed her.
Details
10
14 82 Turning I saw Svein Blue Tooth and four others, trying to splinter their way from the hall.
Details
10
14 89 There had been more than a thousand men in the hall.
Details
10
14 93 Then her leash was surrendered into the keeping of the Kur who held the others, and then the first Kur, leaving his prize in the care of the other, turned about, to hunt yet another delicacy from the herd within the hall.
Details
10
14 95 The side doors, leading from the hall, were now also closed to us.
Details
10
14 96 Kurii, too, stood before the entrance to the hall, axes ready, eyes flaming.
Details
10
14 98 At our backs was the western wall of the hall.
Details
10
14 107 I heard a scream from a height, and, looking up, saw a human thrown from the balcony which ringed the hall, some thirty feet above the dirt floor, some ten feet below the roof beams.
Details
10
14 110 The smoke was thick in the hall.
Details
10
14 147 Again in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth rang the blood shriek of the Kurii.
Details
10
14 155 There was uneven footing in the hall.
Details
10
14 169 A beam fell, burning, from the roof at the southeastern corner of the hall.
Details
10
14 180 In rage it had cried, "A thousand of you can die beneath the claws of a single Kur!" There were perhaps now no more than a hundred or a hundred and fifty men left alive in the hall.
Details
10
14 182 His ax, and those of his men, had shattered through the rear of the hall.
Details
10
14 190 The hangings which had decorated the hall were now gone, burned away, the walls scorched behind them.
Details
10
14 192 I saw ten Kurii leap to the back of the hall, to where Svein Blue Tooth and his men had made their opening, to prevent the escape of others.
Details
10
14 195 One who begged mercy in the center of the hall was cut in twain, the blade of the ax driving into the very dirt itself, emerging covered with dirt and blood, streaked with ash.
Details
10
14 197 "Red Hair," he cried, "the lamps!" Another beam from the roof, burning, dropped heavily to the floor of the hall.
Details
10
14 198 I saw the Kur who held the leashes of the caught bondmaids dragging the girls from the hall.
Details
10
14 202 The Kur left the hall.
Details
10
14 212 Kurii now encircled the group of men near the western wall of the hall.
Details
10
14 215 I saw Ivar Forkbeard standing among the huddled men near the western wall of the hall.
Details
10
14 226 Then again the Forkbeard's voice, through the smoke, the sparks, suddenly half choking, drifted across the hall to me.
Details
10
14 229 The tharlarion-oil lamps, on their chains, hanging from rings on the roof beams! The apertures in the ceiling of the hall, through which smoke might pass! He had intended that I would escape.
Details
10
14 270 Then he, with the others, turned about and, swiftly shambling, some looking back, fled the hall.
Details
10
14 274 After him, I squeezed through one of the smoke holes in the roof of the burning hall.
Details
10
14 275 Then we were standing on the wooden-shingled blazing roof of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
14 280 He sped to the northwest corner of the hall.
Details
10
14 282 I looked over and saw him, in the moonlight, making his way downward, hand by hand, foot by foot, using the clefts, projections and niches in the ornate carvings of the exterior corner beams of the Blue Tooth's hall.
Details
10
15 8 We had climbed down from the roof of the Blue Tooth's burning hall, using the projections and relief of the ornately carved corner beams.
Details
10
15 9 Climbing down, I had seen Kurii moving about, but near the front of the hall.
Details
10
15 10 In the light of the burning hall, here and there, scattered in the dirt of the courtyard, we saw sprawled, scattered bodies, and parts of bodies.
Details
10
15 15 We slipped behind the hall, keeping, where possible, buildings between us and the yard.
Details
10
15 31 The attack had been simultaneously launched, obviously, on the hall and the surrounding Thing-Camps.
Details
10
15 117 "It is quite possible," said Ivar, looking at me, "that we are being hunted now, by those from the hall".
Details
10
15 119 "Yellow scarves will not protect us from those from the hall".
Details
10
15 129 Beneath this redness burned the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
15 270 From where we stood we could see the black ruins of Svein Blue Tooth's hall and holdings, the desolated Thing-Fields, the sea, Thassa, with the ships at the beach.
Details
10
16 76 In the fest-season of Odin a fine skald is difficult to bring to one's hall.
Details
10
17 102 After their devastating victory of the night of Svein Blue Tooth's feast, in which his hall was burned, and the Thing encampments laid waste, they had formed their own camp, and set methodically about gathering supplies for their southern march.
Details
10
17 298 Well did I remember their treachery, well did I remember the massacre, hideous, merciless, in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
18 119 The rally had been led by the Kur who had been foremost in the attack on his hall.
Details
10
18 251 I saw the general within their square, the huge Kur whom I had seen before, in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth, it with the golden ring on the left arm.
Details
10
19 4 Down a hall of men, standing in the field, came the Kur.
Details
10
20 36 "When I, in the hall of Samos, before leaving for the northern forests to seek Talena, learned of your flight, I wept".
Details
10
20 78 It had been he who had been first in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth, the night of the attack.
Details
10
21 15 She was the only one in the hall who was not stripped, though, to be sure, her kirtle, by order of her master, was high on her hips, and, over the shoulders, was split to the belly.
Details
10
21 73 "Charges appertaining thereto," roared the Blue Tooth, spilling mead, "are revoked!" There were more cheers among the ashes, the blackened, fallen timbers, of the Blue Tooth's razed hall, amidst which the benches and tables of the feast were set.
Details
10
21 75 And brightly glowed the long fire in the hall, over which tarsk and bosk, crackling and glistening with hot fat, roasted, turned heavily on spits by eager, laughing bondmaids.
Details
10
21 88 Few eyes, I think, in the ruins of that hall, under the torchlight, beneath the stars, the height of the Torvaldsberg in the distance, illuminated in the light of the three moons, were dry.
Details
10
21 94 But as the men cried out, and cheered, and the weapons clashed on shields, I looked to a place in the hall where, mounted on a great stake, was the huge, savage head of the Kur which I had slain on the Skerry of Vars.
Details
10
21 110 Knee deep in the riches waded Ivar and, laughing, hurled untold wealth to those in the hall.
Details
10
21 246 The plan of Tyros might thus, foiled upon the coast of Thassa, be in effect accomplished in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth, at least with respect to he known as Bosk of Port Kar.
Details
10
21 250 I had little doubt but what, in time, it would again force me to the blankets and chair of a recluse in a hall in Port Kar.
Details
10
21 260 "Sarus of Tyros," I said to Ivar, "is a guest in the hall of Svein Blue Tooth".
Details
10
22 95 Here, with the Forkbeard, with the sea, the wind, in his hall and in battle, I had become, somehow, much different.
Details
10
22 100 I recollected the head of the giant Kur, mounted on its stake, in the ruins of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth.
Details
10
22 233 When he had left the ruins of the hall of Svein Blue Tooth I had run after him, and, a pasang from the camp, had stopped him.

11 54 Sorgus, with some forty cohorts then, seeing me deploy bowmen to his rear, broke for the hall and barricaded himself within.

10
11 265 I slipped my fist into the handle of the tie she wore and, looping it about my fist twice, tightening it, thrust her before me toward the door of the hall.

11 343 They would see the destruction of the wall, and of the buildings, except for the hall.
Details
10
11 412 I was weary then, and I had lost blood, from the wound in my leg, so I turned away, descended the steps of the whipping platform, and made my way to the hall, where I would sleep.
Details
10
11 414 I did not answer her but entered the hall, to rest, for I was weary.
Details
10
11 422 I would fire the hall, too, before I left.

10
11 438 In a few moments I had set fire to the hall.

35 417 When I was about to re-enter the hall I suddenly stepped back.
Details
10
35 697 I expected that Kurii would be manning the lensed monitors in the hall.
Details
10
35 758 Instead I took her by the hair and walked her, bent over, beside me, sliding the chain along with us, backward, until I came to a branching in a hall.
Details
10
35 759 I slid the chain a distance down that hall, and then, still holding her, returned to that point at which the track system terminated.
Details
10
35 861 We were then free in the hall.

35 1199 I walked down the long hall toward the chamber of Zarendargar.
