12 115 "I do not understand how it is that I, Hassan," Hassan had said, "was not first picked for the pleasure of the mistress".
Details
10
13 42 "And you," said the man, indicating Hassan, "are Hassan, the bandit".
Details
10
25 134 "And Hassan the bandit," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 308 "Are you thinking, Hassan," I asked, "what I am? That there might be one hope for her life?" "Perhaps," grinned Hassan.

26 261 First, she had called out his name at Red Rock, among the flames, during the raid of Tarna's men; secondly, she had fled from his riders, to return to Red Rock, to seek him out, when she had been captured; third, she had, that very evening, upon discovering who might be her master, cried out his nam...

8 1 I Become the Guest of Hassan the Bandit I did not sleep as well as I might have that night, for, from time to time, clouds of riders, with bows and lances, swept through the streets of Nine Wells, returning from one sortie into the desert or another.

9 6 "No, Hassan!" cried one of the girls.
Details
10
9 14 "Chain her," said Hassan, indicating the kneeling girl.
Details
10
9 19 "In the sun," said Hassan to two others of his men.
Details
10
9 26 "Free her," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 29 At a gesture from Hassan, one of the men, from a small coffer to one side, drew forth a golden tarn disk, and gave it to the girl.
Details
10
9 32 "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 59 Alyena, anguished, tears in her eyes, looked at Hassan, her master.
Details
10
9 61 "Leave the tent or be lashed, Slave," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 67 "No, Hassan! No!" she cried, the golden tarn disk clutched in her small palm.
Details
10
9 73 "Please, Hassan," she wept, "keep me as a slave girl!" "But you are free," he said.
Details
10
9 77 Whip me for it! Though I was fortunate enough never to be collared or branded, or mastered, I am a natural slave! Though I have lived as a free woman since birth, I concealed the fact that I was a true slave!" "And when did you learn this fact?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
9 83 She stood before Hassan, relaxed, soft, though frightened, her right foot at a right angle with her left, turning her hip out, opening her beauty to him, as a slave girl.
Details
10
9 84 "I confess to you, Hassan," she said, "what I have never confessed to any other man—that I am a slave girl".
Details
10
9 87 "It is true," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 97 Hassan indicated to his man that he should release the girl.
Details
10
9 99 "Do you understand what you are saying?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
9 106 "Please, Hassan," she said.
Details
10
9 108 "Yes, Hassan," she said.
Details
10
9 123 The collar, from behind, was put about her throat and locked; her head was jerked sideways as, by the collar chain, in the fist of one of Hassan's men, she was secured by the snap lock at the chain's free end, to the stake ring.
Details
10
9 124 Her ankles were chained, snapped into the ankle rings; her right wrist was then locked in a slave bracelet; Hassan's man, reaching under her right leg, by the dangling bracelet, rudely jerked her right hand and wrist under her right leg; he then locked her left wrist in the bracelet, confining her h...

9 126 When free women and slave girls are chained together, it is common to respect the distinction between them by chaining them somewhat differently; in this case the free girl's hands were braceleted before her body, the slave's were fastened below her right leg; it is common for the slave to be placed...

9 127 Hassan slipped the golden tarn disk into his wallet.
Details
10
9 131 "Give us more tea," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 133 "Are you not afraid the free girl will kill her?" I asked Hassan.
Details
10
9 137 "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 144 "Alyena," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 161 "Give the free girl water," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 163 "The slave will wait until she is branded before she drinks," said Hassan.
Details
10
9 164 "Yes, Hassan," said one of the men.
Details
10
9 165 "Water her after the kaiila," said Hassan to Alyena.
Details
10
9 168 Hassan shrugged.
Details
10
9 183 "As a free woman," smiled Hassan, "she would have brought me nothing".
Details
10
9 193 "Hassan, the bandit," I said.

10 1 Hassan Departs From the Oasis of Two Scimitars The oasis of Two Scimitars is an out-of-the-way oasis, under the hegemony of the Bakahs, which, for more than two hundred years, following their defeat in the Silk War of 8,110 C.
Details
10
10 15 "It is Hassan," said a voice.
Details
10
10 17 "Tal," said Hassan, to the merchant who stood at his stirrup.
Details
10
10 19 Hassan stood in his stirrups, looking about at the palms, the red-clay walls, the buildings of mud, some domed, of the oasis, the gardens.
Details
10
10 21 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 25 Only she now wore the name which she had borne as a free woman as a slave name, to shame her, given to her by her master, Hassan, the bandit.
Details
10
10 26 Her companion prize, whose name was Tafa, was bound similarly before the saddle of one of Hassan's men.
Details
10
10 29 Others of the men of Hassan led pack kaiila, containing in their burdens goods taken from the caravan plundered four days ago.
Details
10
10 51 "Aretai are sleen," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 55 Hassan, nor his men, did not even cry out in outrage.
Details
10
10 56 Then Hassan said, thinly, "Do not jest".
Details
10
10 58 "Aretai are sleen," said Hassan, "but yet are they of the Tahari".
Details
10
10 60 "Do you wish to see?" "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 62 Hassan's face was white.
Details
10
10 73 He was looking up at Hassan.
Details
10
10 80 "He is Hakim of Tor," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 86 "I wish to leave before dawn," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 93 "Interesting, Hassan," smiled the merchant, "that it should be the slave you choose to carry before your saddle".
Details
10
10 94 Hassan shrugged.
Details
10
10 96 "True," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 98 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 102 "I have branded many women," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 107 "Touch her, and see," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 121 "Bring them in," said he to Hassan, and his man.
Details
10
10 124 Hassan, his man, I, and others of his men, slowly, on kaiila, filed into the courtyard, following the merchant.
Details
10
10 146 "Hassan?" asked the merchant.
Details
10
10 147 "Very well," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 154 "Keep me, Hassan," she begged.
Details
10
10 158 "Keep me, Hassan!" she wept.
Details
10
10 160 "What is she worth?" asked Hassan of the merchant.
Details
10
10 162 "Hassan!" cried the girl.
Details
10
10 163 "Done," said Hassan, selling his slave.
Details
10
10 164 "No, Hassan!" she cried.
Details
10
10 166 "Agreed," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 167 "Hassan!" cried the slave girl.
Details
10
10 171 She looked over her right shoulder at Hassan.
Details
10
10 172 "Hassan!" she cried.
Details
10
10 173 Hassan took the moneys from the merchant.
Details
10
10 175 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 176 "Hassan!" cried the girl.
Details
10
10 196 Neither of us, Hassan, nor myself, responded to him.
Details
10
10 198 Earlier, though it had not been our original intention, following our commercial interaction, in which Hassan had exchanged his plunder, flesh and otherwise, for gold, we had been conducted by the merchant to the well, shattered, perhaps ruined.
Details
10
10 200 Hassan's fists had clenched.
Details
10
10 209 "And strangest of all," said the merchant, leaning forward, looking at us intently, "is the fact that the Aretai raiders were led by a woman!" "A woman?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
10 211 "And the war messengers have already been sent?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
10 213 "Has there been talk of truce, of discussion?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
10 215 "Of course not!" "And what word," asked Hassan, "has been heard from Haroun, high pasha of the Kavars?" "Who knows where Haroun is?" asked the merchant, spreading his hands.
Details
10
10 217 "I see," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 220 "I am weary," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 225 "He does not know officially," said Hassan, "and I do not wish him to have to dispatch a hundred soldiers to ride about in the desert searching for us, to satisfy outraged citizens.
Details
10
10 229 "Perhaps," smiled Hassan.
Details
10
10 231 "I suppose so," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 233 "Welcomed by night, sought by day," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 236 "I wish that the men of other oases were so complicated," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 239 "But to whom do you sell the goods I bring you?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
10 241 "They know?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
10 243 "I see," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 250 Outside, shortly before dawn, when drops of moisture beaded on the rocks, Hassan and I, and his men, put our left feet into the stirrup of our saddles and mounted our swift beasts.
Details
10
10 251 "Hassan," said I.
Details
10
10 254 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 256 "Did he escape?" asked Hassan, smiling.
Details
10
10 258 "That, too, is my intelligence," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 260 "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 262 "It would be hard riding," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 265 "It might have been hidden in the desert," suggested Hassan.
Details
10
10 268 "I do not know," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 271 "It would, indeed," smiled Hassan.
Details
10
10 272 "Yet the raiders wore the garments of Aretai, the saddle markings, shouted 'For Nine Wells and Suleiman!'" "You and I, too," smiled Hassan, "might arrange such matters, and shout boldly".
Details
10
10 274 "Odd," said Hassan, "that they should shout 'For Nine Wells and Suleiman!'" "Why?" I asked.
Details
10
10 275 "The names of leaders," said Hassan, "do not figure in the war cries of Aretai, nor of most tribes.
Details
10
10 278 "Do the Kavars have a similar cry?" "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 280 "No," said Hassan, "Aretai did not raid Two Scimitars".
Details
10
10 282 "A well was broken," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 287 "Who, then," I asked, "raided the oasis of the Sand Sleen, the oasis of Two Scimitars?" "I do not know," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 291 "If war erupts, fully, in the desert," said Hassan, "the desert, for all practical purposes, will be closed.
Details
10
10 296 "Strange," said Hassan, "that these matters should occur now".
Details
10
10 298 "Doubtless it is only a coincidence," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 336 "Of course not," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 340 "Hassan is generous," I laughed.
Details
10
10 349 "You will not, for you are my guest," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 358 "True," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 367 Hassan threw back his head and laughed.
Details
10
10 372 "She loves you," I told Hassan.
Details
10
10 381 "It is near dawn," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 395 "I took the body," said Hassan.
Details
10
10 399 "He was my brother," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 1 Red Rock, Where Salt is Shared; Hassan and I Encounter Tarna "You do not wear bells on your kaiila harness!" said the man, threatening us with his lance.
Details
10
11 2 "We come in peace," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 4 Hassan turned aside his kaiila, with its single rein, and continued our journey, his nine men, myself, and the slave girl, Alyena, following, on our kaiila.
Details
10
11 9 "Perhaps there is no steel tower," I suggested to Hassan.
Details
10
11 15 Hassan, in his own burnoose, sheltered the girl, Alyena, commonly keeping her wrists braceleted behind her, that she not forget she was slave.
Details
10
11 19 Hassan was the first to stand.
Details
10
11 35 The men of the Tahari, however, led by Hassan, sought quickly the highest ground in the vicinity.
Details
10
11 39 They sank to their knees in the mud, snorting, eyes rolling, and we, mud to our hips, pushing and pulling, sometimes actually seizing one of their mired limbs, freeing it and moving it, at last brought them to the place Hassan had designated, the lee side of a rocky formation.
Details
10
11 40 Hassan put Alyena, whom he had carried, beside him.
Details
10
11 44 "It is unlikely," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 48 I noted that Hassan's men had thrown blankets over the heads of the kaiila, to prevent them from seeing the storm, and keep rain from striking their faces, which phenomenon, frightening them, tends to make them unmanageable.
Details
10
11 49 "One must not, of course," said Hassan, "camp in a dried watercourse.
Details
10
11 52 "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 78 "Where, friend," asked Hassan, of another nomad, "is the steel tower?" "I have never heard of such," said he, warily.
Details
10
11 84 It is at this time that Hassan, the bandit, would make his camps.
Details
10
11 87 At these times, Hassan, cross-legged, would sometimes sit silently before his tent.
Details
10
11 95 How can there be such a thing?" "My thanks, Herder," said Hassan, and again led us on our quest.
Details
10
11 115 "Young warrior," asked Hassan, of a youth, no more than eight, "have you heard aught of a tower of steel?" His sister, standing behind him, laughed.
Details
10
11 138 "Is she expensive?" asked the boy of Hassan.
Details
10
11 139 "Yes," said Hassan, "young warrior.
Details
10
11 141 "Ah," said Hassan, understanding.
Details
10
11 144 He looked at Hassan.
Details
10
11 148 "Is she a good slave?" asked the boy of Hassan.
Details
10
11 149 "She is a stupid, miserable girl," said Hassan, "who must be often beaten".
Details
10
11 162 "Have you seen, or heard, aught, young warrior," asked Hassan, "of a tower of steel?" The boy looked at him and laughed.
Details
10
11 164 Hassan nodded his head, graciously.
Details
10
11 173 "The oasis of the Battle of Red Rock," said Hassan to me, "is one of the few outpost oases maintained by the Aretai.
Details
10
11 176 "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 180 "Can you not see it?" I asked Hassan, the others.
Details
10
11 182 "We, too, see it," said Hassan, "but it is not there".
Details
10
11 214 "It is not there," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 215 "Does the oasis of the Battle of Red Rock have, at its northeast rim, a kasbah, with four towers?" "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 217 "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 223 "True," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 225 "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 231 "Pennons," said Hassan, "of the Tashid and Aretai".
Details
10
11 236 "I shall speak clearly," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 240 "Ride ahead," suggested Hassan.
Details
10
11 248 "It is an interesting phenomenon, is it not?" asked Hassan, when he, and the others, had joined me.
Details
10
11 251 "Precisely," said Hassan, "with layers of air the glass.
Details
10
11 255 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 269 "In the Tahari," said Hassan, "it is well to be of the Tahari, if one would live".
Details
10
11 271 "I will help you," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 280 "Do you fear to enter the oasis of a vassal tribe of the Aretai?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
11 282 "I think, too, there is little danger," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 286 The girl, Alyena, rode next to the last in our line, in the position of least status; she was followed by one of Hassan's men, the guard; such a guard is commonly posted; he, from time to time, watches the trail behind the caravan and, of course, prevents the escape of slave girls.
Details
10
11 300 A child ran beside the stirrup of Hassan, playing.
Details
10
11 302 "They were stolen by raiders," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 304 "We shall seek an inn," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 336 "We shall stop here," said Hassan, reining in before an inn.
Details
10
11 340 Two of Hassan's men went with them, to see that the animals were well cared for.
Details
10
11 341 One of Hassan's men helped Alyena to dismount.
Details
10
11 354 She then, as satisfied as she could be without a mirror, smiled at Hassan and went to him, with small measured steps, as Aya had taught her, the sort of steps which might be regulated by the length of an affixed walking chain.
Details
10
11 356 She then smiled again at Hassan, and knelt beside him, gracefully, in slave deference, her head down, at his left thigh.
Details
10
11 360 It was pleasant to see her kneeling there beside Hassan, her head down, in slave deference.
Details
10
11 377 Her master was Hassan, the bandit.
Details
10
11 388 Hassan then, carrying his saddle and other belongings, went into the inn.
Details
10
11 395 Those of Hassan's men who carried water, too, emptied the water into the cistern.
Details
10
11 404 She rose to her feet and went to kneel beside Hassan, who was sitting at a bench before a table.
Details
10
11 407 "Have you heard aught of a tower of steel?" Hassan was asking the master of the inn.
Details
10
11 409 This was irritating to Hassan, and did not much please me either, for the oasis of the Battle of Red Rock was the last of the major oases of the Tahari for more than two thousand pasangs eastward; it lay, in effect, on the borders of the dreaded dune country; there are oases in the dune country but ...
Details
10
11 413 I had little doubt, nor did Hassan, that it was within the dune country that lay the steel tower, if there was indeed such an unusual edifice.
Details
10
11 431 "We shall leave in the morning," said Hassan to me, stretching.
Details
10
11 443 "I am weary," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 447 Hassan looked about himself.
Details
10
11 448 "What is the hour?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
11 454 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 455 Then Hassan said, "Soldiers are returning".
Details
10
11 458 Hassan's fingers, on the table, had caught the subtle vibration.
Details
10
11 461 Hassan leaped to his feet, throwing over the table.
Details
10
11 465 I heard Hassan shouting upstairs.
Details
10
11 477 "Upstairs!" cried Hassan.
Details
10
11 480 Alyena, white faced, stood, her arm held in the grip of one of Hassan's men.
Details
10
11 481 "Follow me," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 492 Hassan looked at me, wildly, angrily.
Details
10
11 501 Below us, in the stable yard, holding the reins of kaiila, came Hassan's men.
Details
10
11 502 "Guard the trap door," said Hassan to one of his men.
Details
10
11 503 Almost at that moment the trap door thrust up and a man's face appeared; Hassan's man thrust his scimitar through the jaw and wrenched it free, loose with blood and teeth and kicked shut the door.
Details
10
11 509 He fell back, thrust from the gate by a lance in the hands of one of Hassan's men.
Details
10
11 512 Hassan's men threw their burnooses over the heads of the animals.
Details
10
11 516 Hassan and I met them, fiercely, forcing them back over the edge, into the crowded, dark, screaming throng below.
Details
10
11 521 "Their garments, their saddles," said Hassan, "are Kavar!" From the roof we could see men and women, and children, running through the palm groves and gardens.
Details
10
11 526 "Tarna!" Hassan went to the edge of the wall looking down into the now-blazing stable yard.
Details
10
11 527 "Follow them!" cried Hassan, indicating his two men below, to the rest of his men, even to him who guarded the trap door.
Details
10
11 531 Hassan tore off his own burnoose and, putting it under Alyena's arms, lowered her from the roof to the arms of one of his men, mounted on his kaiila.
Details
10
11 532 Alyena looked upward at Hassan, wildly.
Details
10
11 538 "On my signal," said Hassan, "have them throw open the gate to the stable yard, and ride!" I went to the edge of the roof overlooking the burning yard.
Details
10
11 542 "I relay the signal of Hassan," said I.
Details
10
11 545 "What of you," he cried, "and Hassan!" "Upon the signal," I said, "take flight".
Details
10
11 548 "Hassan!" screamed Alyena.
Details
10
11 549 "Hassan!" One must watch, to see when the escape might best emerge from the yard, another must convey the signal.
Details
10
11 550 "Hassan!" screamed Alyena, from below.
Details
10
11 555 If Hassan survived, he would, I suspected, well beat her for this lapse.
Details
10
11 557 Hassan, however, was not so lenient; he had, as yet, not permitted his pretty Alyena this liberty.
Details
10
11 567 "There are two kaiila remaining, saddled," I called to Hassan.
Details
10
11 592 "Get your kaiila, escape!" said Hassan.
Details
10
11 610 Hassan and I leaped from the roof, which was now partly aflame, to the stable yard.
Details
10
11 637 "There are others," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 642 "Tal," said Hassan, greeting them.
Details
10
11 652 Hassan kissed one on the back of the neck.
Details
10
11 656 "Run then to the desert," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 659 "Run!" said Hassan, smacking her smartly with the flat of his blade.
Details
10
11 662 "They are pretty," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 666 "Yet," said Hassan, "this seems scarcely a time propitious for the braceleting of wenches".
Details
10
11 668 "Besides," said Hassan, "they were young.
Details
10
11 676 "Here," said Hassan, kneeling beside one of the fallen men.
Details
10
11 678 Hassan thrust up the left sleeve.
Details
10
11 681 "No," said Hassan.
Details
10
11 687 Hassan smiled.
Details
10
11 690 "This," said Hassan, smiling, "is the Kavar scimitar".
Details
10
11 693 "Of course," said Hassan.

12 1 What Occurred in Tarna's Kasbah; Hassan and I Decide to Take Our Leave From that Place I rolled about, on my back, splashing in the water.
Details
10
12 14 Hassan, in a brief, white-silk garment, sat cross-legged nearby.
Details
10
12 27 Two males, too, had been taken, myself and Hassan.
Details
10
12 29 Hassan, similarly secured, trudged at the stirrup of one of her lieutenants.
Details
10
12 31 There Hassan and I, locked in slave hoods, and chained, were thrown into one of the wagons, with other loot.
Details
10
12 36 Then, again, Hassan and I had been chained at stirrups.
Details
10
12 38 "Where are we?" I had asked Hassan.
Details
10
12 40 "I do not know," had said Hassan.
Details
10
12 107 There were several of Tarna's males sitting about, in silken tunics, some with jewelry, curious about Hassan and myself.
Details
10
12 112 On the other hand, Hassan and myself had a certain advantage, I supposed, in freshness and novelty.
Details
10
12 139 "Let us assume she is," proposed Hassan.
Details
10
12 165 She glared at Hassan, and myself.
Details
10
12 166 "You two, too, will be so designated!" Then she cried, "Go! Go to your alcoves, Slaves! Go!" The men, some of them frightened, with the exception of Hassan who sat, puzzled, by the side of the bath, scurried to their tiny alcoves.
Details
10
12 243 I glanced to Hassan, and to the other girl.
Details
10
12 249 Then I turned to Hassan.
Details
10
12 260 I saw Hassan measuring the distance between the two girls.
Details
10
12 584 At the outer door of the seraglio I demanded entrance, to fetch the slave, Hassan, to the quarters of Tarna.
Details
10
12 593 "Greetings," said Hassan.
Details
10
12 605 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
12 606 "What of this one?" I asked Hassan, indicating Lana.
Details
10
12 607 "I tested her," said Hassan.
Details
10
12 613 He broke into a run, but I managed to trip him, and Hassan leaped upon him and carried him, squirming, to the bath.
Details
10
12 617 Hassan took the fellow and threw him on his belly by the bath and held his head under water, for about an Ehn.
Details
10
12 622 Hassan threw him to two of the other males.
Details
10
12 623 "If he attempts to give the alarm," said Hassan, "drown him".
Details
10
12 627 "You may blame his drowning on us, of course," said Hassan.
Details
10
12 644 "I left her for you," said Hassan.
Details
10
12 648 By the ankles I pulled her as far from the pillar as the bonds on her wrists, fashioned by Hassan from strips from her white, removed clothing, would permit.
Details
10
12 657 "You have ruined her, I judge," said Hassan, "as an effective mistress of the seraglio".
Details
10
12 673 I noted that Hassan, following my example, had now indicated the evidence of his pleasure, and his satisfaction with her slave performance, on the flesh of the other girl.
Details
10
12 679 "He would be a good fellow, indeed," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 22 Scarcely had Hassan and I, clad in the garments of guards, astride kaiila taken from the stables of Tarna's kasbah, emerged from the fortress's gate than, on the path to Red Rock, clouds of riders had swept before us.
Details
10
13 28 "No," had said Hassan.
Details
10
13 41 Hassan looked at me.
Details
10
13 43 "It is possible," admitted Hassan.
Details
10
13 55 "It can be only," said Hassan, "the kasbah of the Guard of the Dunes".
Details
10
13 57 "That," agreed Hassan.
Details
10
13 80 Hassan and I knelt.
Details
10
13 82 Hassan and I pressed our lips to the sand before the great, open portal.
Details
10
13 84 Hassan and I rose to our feet.
Details
10
13 91 "What is the name of the Salt Ubar?" I asked Hassan.
Details
10
13 92 "I thought everyone knew his name," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 94 "What is his name?" "Abdul," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 96 I, and Hassan, entered the kasbah of the Guard of the Dunes, the Salt Ubar, him whose name was Abdul.
Details
10
13 108 The feet of myself, and those of Hassan, too, were washed, and dried.
Details
10
13 128 Though Hassan and I were stripped, she was more naked than we, for she wore Gorean slave silk.
Details
10
13 131 On ropes, hands bound behind our back, Hassan and I entered the lofty chamber.
Details
10
13 135 Hassan and I knelt.
Details
10
13 160 "We fell well into your trap," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 161 The man shrugged, a Tahari shrug, tiny, subtle, like a swift smile, acknowledging the compliment of Hassan.
Details
10
13 162 "It is not clear to me," said Hassan, "why a simple date merchant, like my friend, Hakim of Tor, and I, a lowly bandit, would be of interest to one so august as yourself".
Details
10
13 163 The man regarded Hassan.
Details
10
13 165 "I am a bandit," said Hassan, in cheerful explanation.
Details
10
13 169 "Then I have little with which to bargain," admitted Hassan.
Details
10
13 171 "Perhaps it was another bandit," suggested Hassan.
Details
10
13 175 "Perhaps that was unwise on my part," volunteered Hassan.
Details
10
13 180 "I did not mean to be uncivil," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 182 "My business must often be conducted with dispatch," admitted Hassan.
Details
10
13 185 "I hope that you will forgive me," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 189 "I was not optimistic," admitted Hassan.
Details
10
13 191 "Doubtless each of us has our own business," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 196 "Of course not," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 202 I did not care greatly for Hassan's description.
Details
10
13 215 Four of the girls, with a jangle of slave bells, fled to Hassan and myself.
Details
10
13 242 Suddenly I realized that this was the same girl who had been one of the pair captured by Hassan in the desert, shortly before I had first made his acquaintance.
Details
10
13 244 It was difficult now to see in this lascivious, delicious slave, who seemed born to the collar, the proud free woman whom Hassan had earlier captured, and who had been later sold at the Bakah oasis of Two Scimitars.
Details
10
13 253 Hassan's eyes were hard.
Details
10
13 255 "Do you remember this one?" asked the veiled man, of Hassan.
Details
10
13 256 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 262 Alyena trembled under the eyes of Hassan.
Details
10
13 272 "She was crying the name 'Hassan'".
Details
10
13 273 I could see that this did not please Hassan at all.
Details
10
13 282 "I love you!" She had risked her life to return to Hassan.
Details
10
13 291 Alyena looked upon Hassan, agonized.
Details
10
13 302 "Dance, Slave," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 326 "I do not fear them," said Hassan.
Details
10
13 458 Hassan began to struggle.
Details
10
13 467 Hassan, too, seemed shocked.
Details
10
13 471 "What are you doing with us?" demanded Hassan.
Details
10
13 480 "I give Hassan a woman," said he, "for his audacity.
Details
10
13 485 "Chain Riza," said he to one of the guards, selecting the women who would serve us, by his will, "beside Hassan, this bandit, and Tafa by the side of this man, he of the Warriors, he whose name is Tarl Cabot".
Details
10
14 33 She had not, however, been able to hold Hassan and me.
Details
10
14 164 Hassan stood, some four men from me, similarly manacled.
Details
10
14 208 Ibn Saran had turned his kaiila toward Hassan.
Details
10
14 211 Hassan did not speak.
Details
10
14 212 It had puzzled me that Ibn Saran had spoken thusly to Hassan, a bandit.
Details
10
14 239 "Many men will die," cried Hassan, "both Kavars and Aretai, and of the vassal tribes! It must be stopped! They must be warned!" "It is necessary," said Ibn Saran to him.
Details
10
14 241 A slave hood was pulled over the head of Hassan.
Details
10
14 553 It was Hassan! "You live!" I cried.
Details
10
14 657 Hassan and I were freed.
Details
10
14 661 "He is dead," said Hassan.
Details
10
14 662 Together, Hassan and I rose to our feet.
Details
10
14 677 Hassan and I had not found the steel tower.
Details
10
14 680 Then I followed Hassan, who had trudged on ahead, wading in the salt, following him toward Klima.
Details
10
15 59 When we had approached Klima Hassan had said to me.
Details
10
15 122 "We may, however," asked Hassan, "leave Klima when we wish?" T'Zshal regarded him.
Details
10
15 123 Clearly he was wondering if Hassan were insane.
Details
10
15 127 "Very well," said Hassan, noting the point.
Details
10
15 137 "Is it your intention," inquired T'Zshal of Hassan, "to purloin several bags, fill them, battling guards, and walk your way out of Klima?" Even, of course, if one could obtain several such bags, and fill them with water, it did not seem likely that one could carry enough water to find one's way afoo...
Details
10
15 138 Hassan shrugged.
Details
10
15 141 "I have made the march to Klima," said Hassan.
Details
10
15 148 "Even the salt master?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
15 154 "And we?" said Hassan.
Details
10
15 157 "Did you come hooded to Klima?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
15 160 Hassan had doubtless had in mind the forcing of a guard, or kennel master, perhaps T'Zshal himself, to guide him from Klima, could he obtain water.
Details
10
15 172 "There is a way," said Hassan.
Details
10
15 177 "I choose to stay, for the time," said Hassan.
Details
10
15 179 Hassan, too, bowed his head, in Taharic courtesy acknowledging the compliment.
Details
10
16 1 Hassan and I Agree to Accompany T'zshal I held the line coiled, in my left hand, it tied to the handle on the metal, perforated cone, swinging in my right.
Details
10
16 232 "Hassan!" I cried.
Details
10
16 251 I and Hassan had survived, and the steersman, and the man I had saved.
Details
10
16 273 Hassan and I looked at one another.
Details
10
16 277 "And I, too," said Hassan.
Details
10
17 19 Beside he, only Hassan, on the other side, and myself, of yesterday's crew, accompanied T'Zshal.
Details
10
17 284 The Old One was still alive when I was drawn away from it, pulled by Hassan and another man to the surface of the raft.
Details
10
17 286 Hassan pried it from my fingers with his hands.
Details
10
17 303 "You cannot save him," said Hassan.
Details
10
17 314 "Help me," said I, "Hassan".
Details
10
17 315 "Be merciful," said Hassan.
Details
10
17 320 "I will help you," said Hassan.
Details
10
17 321 Using the dagger as an awl, punching through the flesh, and the long lacing from the lance head, while Hassan held together the edges of the ripped furrows, I crudely sewed together the rent, bloodied meat before me.
Details
10
17 331 "I myself," said Hassan, "would not admit him to the leather workers".
Details
10
18 5 Near me stood Hassan.
Details
10
18 19 "I will accompany him," said Hassan.
Details
10
18 23 "The desert is my mother, and my father," said Hassan.
Details
10
18 25 "And yet you would leave Klima afoot?" "Furnish me kaiila," said Hassan.
Details
10
18 31 "I, too," said Hassan.
Details
10
18 37 "Sleen!" cried Hassan.
Details
10
18 58 "Hassan," I said.
Details
10
18 68 "Hassan," I said.
Details
10
18 83 "By noon tomorrow, we shall be dead," said Hassan.
Details
10
18 86 Hassan's face was turned toward me.
Details
10
18 91 "Save yourself," said Hassan.
Details
10
18 95 "Leave," said Hassan.
Details
10
18 125 Then he gave Hassan and me to drink from the water he carried.
Details
10
18 130 "What of him?" asked T'Zshal, indicating Hassan.
Details
10
18 131 "I can walk," said Hassan, straightening himself.
Details
10
18 145 Hassan and I turned and, with the water, and our supplies, into the night desert, took our way.
Details
10
18 148 I held it to my face, and to the face of Hassan.
Details
10
18 151 "No," smiled Hassan.
Details
10
19 1 The Wind Blows From the East; We Encounter a Kur I heard Hassan cry out.
Details
10
19 10 "It is madness," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 24 "I have heard of them," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 26 "No such beast could live in the desert," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 28 "Strange," said Hassan, "that I should imagine a Kur here in the Tahari".
Details
10
19 33 "Let us continue our trek," said Hassan, "before we both go mad".
Details
10
19 34 Shouldering again the water, I followed Hassan.
Details
10
19 37 Hassan saw five birds overhead in flight.
Details
10
19 46 Hassan began to kiss rhythmically at the back of his hand, his head down, but moving so as to see the birds.
Details
10
19 50 Hassan broke the bird's neck between his fingers and began to pull out the feathers.
Details
10
19 53 "Stop," I said to Hassan.
Details
10
19 62 Hassan stood nearby.
Details
10
19 72 "Come," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 79 Hassan scanned the dunes.
Details
10
19 84 * * * * The march of Hassan had as its object not Red Rock, northwest of Klima, but Four Palms, a Kavar outpost known to him, which lay far to the south of Red Rock.
Details
10
19 93 Hassan had gambled wisely; whether or not he had also gambled well would remain to be seen.
Details
10
19 94 I followed Hassan, he orienting himself by the sun and the flights of certain birds, migrating.
Details
10
19 99 A consequence of Hassan's plan was that we were actually moving, generally, south and west of Klima, in short, for a time, deeper into the most desolate, untraveled portions of the dune country, far even from the salt routes.
Details
10
19 101 * * * * "We have water," I said to Hassan, "for only four more days".
Details
10
19 107 "I do not know," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 111 "Have you not noticed the wind?" said Hassan.
Details
10
19 114 "From what direction does it come?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
19 116 "It is spring," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 120 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 123 An Ahn earlier Hassan had said, "It is now time to dig the shelter trench".
Details
10
19 128 Hassan and I stood at the edge of the ditch, looking eastward.
Details
10
19 129 "Yes," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 133 "We had come so far," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 135 "I will sleep," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 137 I watched, while Hassan slept.
Details
10
19 146 Toward night Hassan and I awoke.
Details
10
19 163 "Hassan," I cried.
Details
10
19 172 "Run!" cried Hassan.
Details
10
19 178 "The water," said Hassan.
Details
10
19 181 Hassan took them and, when I was clear of the ditch, we backed away from the beast, watching it.
Details
10
19 184 Hassan and I turned and, stumbling, carrying the water, fled into the desert.
Details
10
19 185 Once, briefly, I lost sight of Hassan, then again saw him, no more than a yard from me in the darkness, in the pelting, driven sand.
Details
10
20 1 The Kur Will Re-Enter the Dune Country; I Accompany Him "It is there," said Hassan.
Details
10
20 11 "There will be other such storms," said Hassan.
Details
10
20 21 "It is not dead," said Hassan.
Details
10
20 23 "We, too, are weak," said Hassan.
Details
10
20 40 What business had it in the Tahari? "It will die soon," said Hassan.
Details
10
20 44 "Do not approach it!" warned Hassan.
Details
10
20 49 "Kill it," said Hassan.
Details
10
20 52 "Desist in this madness!" cried Hassan.
Details
10
20 62 Hassan did not speak.
Details
10
20 67 Hassan stood back.
Details
10
20 72 "You are insane," whispered Hassan.
Details
10
20 76 "So it was mad from the desert, the storm," said Hassan.
Details
10
20 107 "I had it freed from a dungeon in Port Kar," I told Hassan.
Details
10
20 121 I know him, Hassan.
Details
10
20 123 I think, Hassan, strange though it may seem, that we hold a cause in common".
Details
10
20 124 "A man and a Kur!" protested Hassan.
Details
10
20 126 I turned to Hassan.
Details
10
20 127 "I wish you well, Hassan," I said.
Details
10
20 134 "It is a hard choice you impose upon me," said Hassan, "to choose between my brother and my tribe".
Details
10
20 139 Hassan looked at the Kur.
Details
10
20 147 Hassan turned away.
Details
10
23 296 "Excellent," said I, "Hassan".
Details
10
24 8 I came once within one hundred and fifty yards of Ibn Saran; Hassan, or Haroun, high Pasha of the Kavars, came within twenty yards of him, fighting like a wild animal, but was turned back at last by a wall of bucklers, a hedge of lances.
Details
10
24 14 "He will take refuge in his kasbah," said Hassan.
Details
10
24 23 "We must take the kasbah," said Hassan.
Details
10
24 740 I saw the white burnoose of Hassan, swelling behind him, in their lead.
Details
10
25 7 Haroun, or Hassan, as I continued to think of him, with his boot, spurned the bound prisoner.
Details
10
25 20 "Let us assume, Pasha," said I to Hassan, "that Ibn Saran entered this kasbah".
Details
10
25 51 "You have the audacity of Hassan the bandit, to whom you bear a striking resemblance".
Details
10
25 56 Hassan then turned and led the way into the tunnel.
Details
10
25 58 * * * * It was on the height of the highest tower of the kasbah of Tarna that Hassan, I close behind him, cornered Ibn Saran.
Details
10
25 61 "He is mine," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 69 "That was years ago," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 77 Hassan sheathed his sword.
Details
10
25 96 Hassan shook himself.
Details
10
25 106 Hassan and I went down to the yard of the kasbah.
Details
10
25 107 Startled was I to discover in the courtyard, mounted in the high saddle of the kaiila, the leader of Hassan's mystery lancers, who had invested the kasbah of Tarna.
Details
10
25 111 "I sent," said Hassan, Haroun, high Pasha of Kavars, "a thousand kaiila, a thousand lances, supplies, to Klima.
Details
10
25 116 I feared that Hassan had made a terrible mistake.
Details
10
25 120 Hassan held his blade to the throat of Hamid.
Details
10
25 128 "I was there," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 131 Hassan smiled.
Details
10
25 136 "Surely you did not think there could be two such handsome, dashing fellows?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
25 138 "Do not be too broadcast with my additional identity," requested Hassan.
Details
10
25 274 "What have we here?" asked Hassan, entering the room.
Details
10
25 276 He no longer wore the white of the high Pasha of the Kavars but simpler garments, those which might have befitted Hassan, the outlaw of the Tahari.
Details
10
25 278 She looked at Hassan; she was incredibly beautiful; her cheeks were stained with tears.
Details
10
25 284 "The capture is yours," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 290 "Doubtless," said Hassan, "Haroun, high Pasha of the Kavars, and Suleiman, high Pasha of the Aretai, will pay a high reward to the man who brings Tarna before them".
Details
10
25 292 "I have heard them crying out for her," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 295 Hassan looked down upon the stripped, tethered beauty.
Details
10
25 299 "The punishment for breaking a well," said Hassan, "is not light".
Details
10
25 314 "Forget it," agreed Hassan.
Details
10
25 319 "Better torture and impalement on the walls of the kasbah at Nine Wells," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 323 "Oh, what?" "On the lower levels," said Hassan, "I understand that slave girls are kept".
Details
10
25 327 "I might be slipped among them!" "It is a chance," admitted Hassan.
Details
10
25 329 "That can be arranged," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 334 "I knew you would not approve," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 341 "Please! Please!" "There will be much risk," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 347 "One thing," said Hassan, "prisoner rope is not appropriate.
Details
10
25 352 "Most female slaves," said Hassan, "walk very proudly.
Details
10
25 366 "Most," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 369 She was scandalous! And the girls, too, who served in the cafe! Shameful! Scandalous!" "Speak with care," said Hassan, "Girl, for someday you, too, may so dance and serve".
Details
10
25 371 "Did the girls seem proud?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
25 373 "But why should they have been proud?" "They were proud of their bodies, their feelings, their desirability," said Hassan, "and proud, too, of their masters, who had the will and power to put them in a collar and keep them there, because it pleased them to do so".
Details
10
25 375 "Too," said Hassan, "undeniable females, secure in their sexuality, it was difficult not for them to be proud.
Details
10
25 377 "But why, why," wept Tarna, "should they be proud?" Hassan shrugged.
Details
10
25 380 Hassan laughed.
Details
10
25 385 "There is a difference," laughed Hassan, "between the pride of a free woman and the pride of the slave girl.
Details
10
25 390 "You are no longer competing with men," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 395 "It is a start," said Hassan.
Details
10
25 399 "She cannot yet walk like, or truly seem, a slave girl," said Hassan, "for she is not yet a slave girl, but if little attention is paid, we may have a chance".
Details
10
25 403 Hassan moaned.
Details
10
25 410 Hassan grinned.
Details
10
25 425 "Is she not much too clean?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
25 430 When she stood again before us, Hassan took soot from one of the tharlarion-oil lamps and rubbed it, here and there, on her body.
Details
