12 52 Lastly, Pa-Kur spit in his hand and then placed his hand on my chest.
Details
10
13 97 "Would you like the Holy Disease?" he asked, stretching out one hand in the darkness, as if trying to clutch my hand.
Details
10
2 45 I saw that the ring of red metal, with the crest of a "C," had been placed on the second finger of my right hand.
Details
9
2 66 Yet, somehow, in spite of these things, I found that I wanted to cross the room, to put my hand on his arm, to touch him.
Details
9
2 180 My hand clenched on the metal goblet.
Details
9
2 202 "On the other hand," he said, "you will learn that in lighting, shelter, agricultural techniques, and medicine, for example, the Mortals, or the Men Below the Mountains, are relatively advanced".
Details
9
3 44 On the other hand, a new succession of noises in A would be received by the machine and emitted as a message in Gorean.
Details
9
3 72 On the other hand, the High Castes, specifically the Warriors, Builders, Scribes, Initiates, and Physicians, were told the truth in such matters, perhaps because it was thought they would eventually determine it for themselves, from observations such as the shadow of their planet on one or another o...
Details
9
3 171 I was also forced to learn to throw the spear with my left hand.
Details
9
3 185 Once again, I was supposed to learn to wield the weapon equally well with either hand, but, again, I could never manage to develop the skill to my genuine satisfaction.
Details
9
3 203 The Older Tarl, my redoubtable instructor in arms, did not care for them, regarding them as secondary weapons almost unworthy for the hand of a warrior.
Details
9
3 226 A billion tiny yellow stars, like pieces of fiery needles, seemed to explode in my hand.
Details
9
3 228 I thrust my hand to my mouth.
Details
9
3 229 It had been like a sudden, severe electric charge, like the striking of a snake in my hand.
Details
9
3 230 I examined my hand; it was unhurt.
Details
9
4 30 I couldn't breathe for a minute, but clung, frightened and thrilled, to the saddle-ring, my hand wrapped in the one-strap.
Details
9
4 141 On the other hand, I objected to the Initiates being in the place of honor, as it seemed to me that they, even more than the Warriors, were nonproductive members of society.
Details
9
4 156 About my shoulder he slung the steel sword, fastened on my left arm the round shield, placed in my right hand the spear, and slowly lowered the helmet on my head.
Details
9
4 165 I removed my helmet, feeling proud as I heard the approval of the Council, both in voice and by Gorean applause, the quick, repeated striking of the left shoulder with the palm of the right hand.
Details
9
5 171 I had no time to think, but somehow I was aware that my sword was now in my hand and the tarn-goad thrust in my belt.
Details
9
6 154 Accordingly, carrying the sword in my hand, I waded back to the foot of the swamp tree and climbed the small, dry knoll at its base.
Details
9
6 161 Exhausted, I sat with my back against the tree, my hand never leaving the hilt of my sword.
Details
9
7 16 I glanced no more at her, but put my hand on the foreleg of Nar, gently, so that I might not injure any of the sensory hairs.
Details
9
7 33 I had hardly taken her in my arms when she struck my face viciously with one muddy hand.
Details
9
7 80 I led her by the hand toward Nar, helped her to the glossy, hairy back of the spider, and climbed up after her.
Details
9
7 91 I placed my hand on Nar's grotesque face, and the gentle monster lightly closed his mandibles on my arm and then opened them.
Details
9
7 124 At last my hand clutched something—the girl's wrist—and I drew her slowly upward out of the sand.
Details
9
7 160 She howled with rage as I twisted the weapon from her hand.
Details
9
7 170 With both hands I wrenched the veil back from her face, thrusting my hand under it to fasten my fist in her hair, and then, as if she were a common tavern girl or a camp slut, I dragged the daughter of the Ubar of all Gor to the shelter of the Ka-la-na trees.
Details
9
7 228 Then, with her right hand, she slapped me savagely with all the force and fury of her body.
Details
9
8 58 "I see that I must teach you to respect an officer," he said, putting his hand between her throat and the chain, drawing her to him.
Details
9
8 66 His hand drew Talena's dagger from his belt, and, manacled as I was, I could not have prevented the blow.
Details
9
8 68 Talena had picked up his sword and struck off the hand that held the dagger.
Details
9
8 112 On the other hand, I think that Talena was actually pleased to be rid of the encumbering, ornate robes of the daughter of the Ubar.
Details
9
8 146 "The ring," she said, pointing to the red metal band that encircled the second finger of my right hand.
Details
9
9 70 "Here," she said, "I have it!" She took a lead chain from my pouch, wrapped it several times about her slim ankle and snapped it shut, placing the key in my hand.
Details
9
9 164 The warrior, who held his shoulder, blood streaming down from his hand, smiled bitterly.
Details
9
10 182 Then she held out her small hand imperiously.
Details
9
11 82 Attached to the thumb and index finger of each hand were tiny finger cymbals.
Details
9
12 22 "My weapon," he said, simply extending his hand.
Details
9
12 27 Pa-Kur raised his hand with an imperious gesture.
Details
9
12 59 Bound helplessly, without food or water, my own body would torture me by its weight dragging on the hand and ankle ropes, suspended a few inches above the roiling, muddy surface under the fiery sun.
Details
9
13 69 On the other hand, the Afflicted, as they are called, have little to fear from their fellow men.
Details
9
13 98 I drew back my hand in horror.
Details
9
13 106 I stilled a shiver of disgust and extended my hand to the object.
Details
9
13 107 "Take my hand," I said.
Details
9
13 109 From the bent heap of rags that was a fellow human being, a hand reached up to me, the fingers crooked, as though they might have been the claws of a chicken.
Details
9
13 110 Disregarding my misgivings, I took the hand, to draw the unfortunate creature to its feet.
Details
9
13 111 To my amazement, the hand that clasped mine firmly was as solid and hardened as saddle leather.
Details
9
13 113 In his hand was a warrior's sword, and the point was at my breast.
Details
9
14 5 One of the tarnsmen of Marlenus thrust his hand in my hair and forced my lips down to his sandal.
Details
9
14 119 His hand, shielded from his men by his body, was on my throat.
Details
9
14 131 Merchants must keep their friends on both sides of the fence, for who knows if Marlenus may not once more sit upon the throne of Ar?" I must have uttered a sound of joy, for Marlenus quickly placed his hand over my mouth.
Details
9
14 144 When the bird drew again, there was a sharp pain as flesh was torn from my hand, but the rope darted off into the darkness, and I was swinging by my ankles from the other ropes.
Details
9
14 151 Then, with one hand, while clinging to the talon, I loosened the girth straps.
Details
9
14 156 Daring everything, I leaped in the darkness for the reins of the bird and with one scrambling hand managed to seize the guiding collar.
Details
9
15 46 She spit the coins she carried in her mouth into her hand, and told me what I wanted to know.
Details
9
15 72 At last the weary figure of Kazrak, helmet in hand, bent down to enter the tent.
Details
9
15 83 I took my hand from his mouth.
Details
9
15 98 He drained the flask in one drink and wiped his hand across his beard, stained with the red juice of the fermented drink.
Details
9
15 127 A brief, crafty light flickered momentarily in Mintar's small eyes, and his pudgy hand hovered, hesitating an instant, over one of the pieces of the hundred-squared board, a centered Tarnsman.
Details
9
15 169 "And," I went on, "when Pa-Kur falls, the garrison will be divided, and a revolution may take place—" "Led by a Ubar," said Marlenus, looking fixedly at the game piece in his hand.
Details
9
16 7 On the other hand, the thought of her in the tents of Pa-Kur enraged me, and I knew I would be unable to restrain myself indefinitely.
Details
9
17 38 In surrender, on the other hand, the shield straps and the shaft of the spear are broken, indicating that the vanquished has disarmed himself and places himself at the mercy of the conqueror.
Details
9
18 95 I thrust my hand into the slimy water, desperately examining the bottom.
Details
9
18 96 My hand clutched a valve, and I turned it fiercely as far as it would go.
Details
9
18 106 Without much success, by hand and voice, I tried to soothe the beast's apprehensions.
Details
9
18 136 The tarn-goad was torn from my hand.
Details
9
19 45 Lying on the ground, bound hand and foot, still clad in the white robe, was Talena.
Details
9
19 83 One long, clawlike hand was raised grandly to the heavens.
Details
9
19 166 During this time Talena, though bound hand and foot, had struggled to her knees, and she watched us fight, her hair and the folds of her robe blown by the wind that whipped across the roof of the cylinder.
Details
9
19 195 I struck the blade from his hand.
Details
9
19 222 My hand was on my sword.
Details
9
19 223 The Ubar's hand gently restrained mine.
Details
9
20 53 In my hand I held the ring of red metal, the ring that bore the crest of Cabot, the gift of my father.
Details
9
20 54 I cut my hand with the ring, to make myself bleed, and I laughed with joy as I felt the pain and saw the blood.

Book 2. (73 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
11 264 She pointed her hand imperiously at me, that hand wearing its glove of gold, now spattered with my blood, wet and dark from the sweat of her hand.
Details
10
8 69 With one hand he held the folds together, lest the wind should lift the cloth and reveal his face, and with the other hand, he clutched the rail on the bridge, as if uncomfortable, uneasy at the height.
Details
10
18 57 When one man was beaten, others would pass water from hand to hand that his wounds might be bathed, that he might drink though the chain did not allow him to the water.
Details
10
22 211 I laughed and spun the fat little fellow about and, with one hand on the collar of his robes and the other hand firmly affixed south of the collar, flung him stumbling toward the exit of the tent.
Details
10
1 31 I would have seized his hand and forced him to speak to me, to tell me what had happened.
Details
9
1 49 He thrust out his hand impulsively, apologetically.
Details
9
1 51 I'm afraid my grip was a bit weak, and that my hand shook a little.
Details
9
1 85 He pulled his arm away from my hand.
Details
9
1 140 He unlocked this with a key which he carried on his own person, and removed a manuscript, written in his own clear, decisive hand and bound with twine.
Details
9
1 151 "Yes," said Cabot, extending his hand, "this is the ring".
Details
9
1 159 At the doorway he held out his hand.
Details
9
1 171 My hand was clenched firmly on his, and his on mine.
Details
9
2 62 It felt strange to hold it again in my hand, to feel its weight, the familiar grasp of the hilt.
Details
9
2 65 And now again I held it in my hand.
Details
9
2 82 I picked up the massive spear lightly in my right hand.
Details
9
4 8 It writhed in my hand like a snake, its pods gasping.
Details
9
5 77 One hand stretched out to me, and the words, his own, far from the ringing authority of his former tones, were hoarse and almost inaudible.
Details
9
6 115 On the other hand, it is not too unusual a set of compartments on Gor where the master, in effect, willingly wears the collar, and his lovely slave, by the practice of the delightful wiles of her sex, with scandalous success wheedles her way triumphantly from the satisfaction of one whim to the next...
Details
9
6 145 She stood before me, as it is said, face-stripped, and that by her own hand.
Details
9
7 57 "On the other hand," said Thorn, "I do not wish to lose another man".
Details
9
7 95 I reached out my hand to touch her, and she shuddered and drew back.
Details
9
7 120 I felt my hand clench on the hilt of my sword.
Details
9
7 121 "Stay your hand, Warrior," said Thorn.
Details
9
8 29 He who speaks for her hand, especially if she is of low caste, is seldom unknown to her, although the parents and the young people as well solemnly act as though this were the case.
Details
9
8 38 In this market, on the other hand, a steward would simply approach a vendor and point to some article, and hold up a certain number of fingers.
Details
9
8 43 If a sale had been made, the steward would take a number of pierced coins, threaded on a string hung about his left shoulder, hand them to the vendor, pick up his article and depart.
Details
9
9 26 Then to my surprise he pressed a small, heavy leather sack of coins into my hand.
Details
9
9 156 There was a hand on my shoulder.
Details
9
9 163 His hand darted to the table where the bag of coins lay, half spilled out in the dried puddles of Kal-da.
Details
9
11 35 "The whip," said Thorn, extending his hand.
Details
9
11 36 The burly man in wrist straps placed it in his hand.
Details
9
11 42 Thorn's hand would allow me to rise no further.
Details
9
11 77 In her hand, covered with a glove of gold, she held a small, dark leather sack, half filled with coins.
Details
9
11 92 She smoothed the silver folds of her robes with a nervous hand, gloved in silver.
Details
9
11 97 Thorn's whip hand was raised.
Details
9
11 109 The Tatrix coldly lifted her gloved hand.
Details
9
11 112 Slowly, every muscle straining to keep my balance, the cords in my legs and back like tortured cables, I reached out my hand to Ost's and, struggling in agony to keep my balance, added the weight of his yoke to mine as I drew him to his knees.
Details
9
11 121 Lara held up her gloved hand for silence.
Details
9
11 173 She extended her silver-gloved hand, palm facing her body and chopped brutally down with it, as though it might have been a blade.
Details
9
11 223 "He thrust them in my hand," I said, "and ran".
Details
9
11 228 Should I have thrown them away?" "These coins," said Lara, holding the tiny sack in her hand, gloved in gold, "were to buy my death".
Details
9
12 37 Her hand reached out and touched the silver yoke I wore.
Details
9
13 37 The Tatrix arose and lifted her hand.
Details
9
13 65 The hand of the Tatrix lifted slightly, almost languorously, from the arm of her throne, and the race began.
Details
9
13 101 The hand of the Tatrix must have lifted.
Details
9
13 124 My hand clutched his withdrawn fist and slipped off, unable to keep its grip from the sweat, his and mine.
Details
9
13 140 Everywhere I saw the silver masks, and heard the shrill command, "Slay him!" On every side I saw the merciless gesture, the extended right hand, palm turned inwards, the cruel, downward chopping motion.
Details
9
14 44 I jerked the whip from his hand, and with my arm struck him aside.
Details
9
14 71 His hand tightened on the whip.
Details
9
14 200 The descent was as smooth and silent as the falling of a rock, the opening of a hand.
Details
9
14 205 On every hand, robes and regalia flying, the silver masks of Tharna which had so insolently screamed but moments before for blood fled now for their lives in panic-stricken rout, trampling one another, scratching and tearing at one another, scrambling over the benches, thrusting one another even ove...
Details
9
15 6 When I had borne Talena home from Ar to Ko-ro-ba, I had tried to teach her the reins of the tarn-harness and help her, at least with me at hand, to learn to master the brute.
Details
9
15 70 With the Tatrix in hand, I might be in a position to bargain with Tharna.
Details
9
15 267 Then, holding her in one arm, and fastening one hand deep in the quills of the tarn's neck, I called "One-strap!" and the beast sprang from the ledge and began climbing.
Details
9
19 6 But the bull-like Kron of Tharna's hand was on the neck of the conspirator.
Details
9
19 69 I wondered if they would understand that such an action was beneath the hand of a truly free man, and that the men who fought them—who had conquered on this windy and cold night, who had fought like larls in the darkness of the tunnels below, who had not sought their own safety but the libera...
Details
9
20 1 The Invisible Barrier In my hand I held a sword, taken from one of the guardsmen in the mines.
Details
9
21 42 On the other hand, the professional slaver, as a business practice, almost always brands his chattels, and it is seldom that an unbranded girl ascends the block.
Details
9
21 98 On the other hand, I have known of several cases in which a proud, insolent woman, even one of great intelligence, who resisted a master to the very touch of the iron, once branded became instantly a passionate and obedient Pleasure Slave.
Details
9
22 124 For the first time in my life my senses were kindled—for the first time I could feel the movements of clothing on my body, for the first time I noticed how an eye opens and what, truly, is the feel of a hand's touch—and I knew then that I was no more nor less than he or any other livin...
Details
9
22 235 And so it was that I took the cords from her hand, and in the same night Lara who had once been the proud Tatrix of Tharna became according to the ancient rites of her city my slave girl—and a free woman.
Details
9
23 122 There was no tarn cot at hand in which to enclose him, and, moreover, even if there had been, I would not have trusted him to the tarn-keepers of Tharna.
Details
9
23 135 One hand attempted to clutch his weapon but the sheath had been emptied.
Details
9
23 157 "Yes, brave Guardsman," said the girl, placing her hand gently on his forehead as though to soothe him, "I am Lara".
Details
9
23 169 And had it not been forbidden that he, a man of Tharna should touch her, a woman of Tharna, I think he would have reached his hand toward her.
Details
9
23 170 To his wonder, Lara took his hand in hers.
Details
9
23 188 On the other hand I did not believe the guardsmen would cast their weapons from the wall.
Details
9
24 24 Holding Lara by the hand, I followed him.
Details
9
25 16 I kicked the sword from the hand and turned over the body with my foot.
Details
9
25 57 I thrust her behind me and, my hand on the wall, climbed the dark stairs as rapidly as I could.
Details
9
25 117 I suddenly knew the answer, that Thorn somehow had loved this cruel woman, that his warrior's heart had been turned to her though he had never looked upon her face, though she had never given him a smile or the touch of her hand.
Details
9
25 129 Her hand was wrapped in the one-strap.
Details
9
26 135 My weapons and my shield and helmet are at hand.

Book 3. (80 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
6 4 The temperature of the water which sprang from the wall tap, I learned, was regulated by the direction in which the shadow of a hand fell across a light-sensitive cell above the tap; the amount of water was correlated with the speed with which the hand passed before the sensor.
Details
10
12 247 He held his hand out with the back of his hand up.
Details
10
15 5 I had no mind to do this, but I did grasp the torch in my teeth with one end lit and, hand over hand, lower myself down the knotted rope.
Details
10
25 6 I leaped forward and thrust my hand under the wing shell and seized the short, tufted antennae and with one hand on them twisting and the other beneath the shell I slowly managed, lifting and twisting, to force the struggling creature onto its back and when it lay on its back, rocking, its short leg...
Details
10
26 261 As I thought of our primeval ancestor standing in the mouth of his cave one hand gripping a chipped stone and perhaps the other a torch, his mate behind him and his young hidden in the mosses at the back of the cave I wondered at the genetic gifts that would ensure the survival of man in so hostile ...
Details
10
29 123 I wrenched the hatch open and it swung wildly out from its locked side and suddenly I hung there, one hand on the rim, one hand on the silver tube, as the ship lay on its side in the air.
Details
10
1 44 In the contests of scribes, on the other hand, the blood that is spilled is invisible and the valiant foemen retire in good order, reviling their enemies and recouping their forces for the next day's campaign.
Details
9
1 94 It is said that the Priest-Kings know whatever transpires on their world and that the mere lifting of their hand can summon all the powers of the universe.
Details
9
2 33 At last there was a great creak and the vast portal parted a hand's breadth and then the width of a shoulder and the width of a man's body.
Details
9
2 77 I then understood that the larl I had heard must be a larl of Priest-Kings, for no animal and no man enters or exists in the Sardar without the consent of Priest-Kings, and if it was fed it must be at the hand of Priest-Kings or their servants.
Details
9
2 121 On the other hand if I were under the larl I would have a brief but clean strike at the great, pounding, eight-valved heart that lies in the center of its breast.
Details
9
3 2 My spear had not left my hand.
Details
9
3 77 He had not extended his hand.
Details
9
3 91 I shivered, but to my surprise the man who called himself Parp clutched his pipe in a white hand and seemed to give a start of terror.
Details
9
4 58 My hand clenched on the spear.
Details
9
4 119 "You are a Priest-King," I said, "why do you not simply lift your hand and destroy it?" "Of what use is a dead larl?" asked Parp.
Details
9
5 2 I grasped the hand that held the sponge and found that I held a girl's wrist.
Details
9
5 33 She then moved her hand past a glass disk in the wall and water emerged from a concealed aperture and curved into the shallow bowl.
Details
9
5 42 Then with a motion of her hand, which did not touch the wall, she opened a small, circular panel into which she dropped the two towels which I had used.
Details
9
5 85 Standing in the passageway outside the room I extended my hand to the girl.
Details
9
5 241 When I said this, though I spoke in jest, she stiffened as though I might have lashed her mouth with the back of my hand.
Details
9
5 268 Her hand loosened the clasp by which her garment was secured over her left shoulder.
Details
9
6 85 "Very well," she said, withdrawing her hand.
Details
9
7 39 On the other hand these generalizations are imperfect, for Gorean speech is no less complex than that of any of the great natural language communities of the Earth nor are its speakers any the less diverse.
Details
9
7 107 Angrily I stood alone in the passageway in the dimmed light of its energy bulbs, my unused sword grasped futilely in my hand.
Details
9
8 49 I seized the bowl from her hand and hurled it underhanded up against the bulb which, though it had apparently burned out, shattered with a great flash and hiss of smoke and sparks.
Details
9
8 80 She leaped from the stone couch and ran to me, seizing my sword arm, but with my left hand I flung her back and she fell stumbling back against the side of the stone couch.
Details
9
8 216 In the passageway, I extended my hand to her, that she might come and take it.
Details
9
8 218 "Vika," I said, "come here and take the hand of a fool".
Details
9
8 224 "Come," I said, "take my hand".
Details
9
8 232 She put out her hand to me.
Details
9
9 20 Then with his own hand he throws upon the stone floor of his chamber luxurious love furs, perhaps from the larl itself, and commands her to them.
Details
9
9 222 How was it that the girl was not aware of it? How was it that she did not know? Was it not part of her plan? "Please," she said, looking up at me, lifting her hand to me.
Details
9
9 256 I looked once more at Vika, who lifted her hand to me.
Details
9
10 34 On the other hand it may well be the case that, as a matter of fact, the morpheme set of the language of Priest-Kings is indeed larger than that of English.
Details
9
10 51 The floor seemed to drop beneath me and my hand grasped my sword.
Details
9
10 77 My hand left the sword hilt and I wiped the sweat from my palm on my tunic.
Details
9
12 19 "Is it your intention," I asked, "that I should be so shaved and clad?" My hand was on my sword hilt.
Details
9
12 90 "I am Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba," I said to them, extending my hand.
Details
9
12 91 If they saw my hand they made no effort to accept it.
Details
9
12 191 Now the man was on his knees, gasping, supporting himself on the palm of his right hand.
Details
9
12 200 Now the slave who was conscious lifted his hand piteously to the Priest-Kings.
Details
9
12 243 I approached him and held out my hand.
Details
9
12 245 It took my hand and awkwardly held it, not knowing how to shake hands apparently.
Details
9
12 248 I took the hand and turned it and shook it.
Details
9
16 103 The torch seemed to tremble in my hand.
Details
9
19 5 Why had we not gotten on directly with the business at hand? In the morning, after the hour of the first feeding, Sarm entered Misk's compartment, where I was waiting for him.
Details
9
19 18 The weapon felt good again in my hand.
Details
9
19 68 It would be simpler, when I approached Misk with my sword in hand, to see if he would volunteer the information.
Details
9
20 54 My hand went to my sword.
Details
9
20 55 "No," said Mul-Al-Ka, placing his hand on my wrist.
Details
9
