I had seen too many village cooking fires on the last night, and twice I had heard the tarn whistles of nearby patrols—groups of three warriors flying their rounds. |
9 |
| 5 | 155 |
Almost simultaneously I heard the raucous cry of a patrol leader of Ar, "We have him!" They had followed my tarn, trailing it back from its feeding in the swamp forest, and now, like the points of a rapidly converging triangle, three warriors of Ar were closing in on me. |

9 |
| 9 | 100 |

9 |
| 13 | 20 |

9 |
| 19 | 35 |

Some four days into the mountains I heard for the first time in my journey the sound of a thing other than the wind, the sighing of snow and the groaning of ice; it was the sound of a living thing; the sound of a mountain larl. |
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. |
9 |

9 |

9 |
| 7 | 11 |
I thought I heard her weep, and supposed that she did so for herself, because she was frightened. |

9 |

9 |

In that moment I sensed once more that slightly acrid scent which I had experienced in the corridors beyond the chamber, and I pressed my mouth hard into Vika's until her lips were cut by my teeth and I had pressed her back until only my arm kept her from falling to the stones of the floor, and I he... |

9 |
| 21 | 31 |
We listened carefully and in the distance it seemed we heard, incredibly enough, the mournful singing of human voices, as though of many men, and the sound was as we determined by listening for a minute or two gradually nearing. |
9 |
| 21 | 44 |
I heard Mul-Al-Ka draw in his breath quickly beside me. |
9 |

I heard the other bar drop with a great clang to the floor. |

"It is not done," he said, echoing words I had heard once from Misk. |
9 |

9 |
| 27 | 307 |
Behind me I heard one of the Priest-Kings repeat over and over, "The Nest is eternal". |
9 |
| 27 | 343 |
Then once again the voice of the translator was heard. |
9 |
| 28 | 13 |
Therefore it was much to my surprise when I heard a distant singing in the tunnel that grew louder as I approached and soon I slowed the transportation disk and waited, my weapon ready. |

9 |
| 29 | 163 |
I thought I heard a noise and listened for some time, but there was nothing more. |
9 |
| 29 | 165 |
Suddenly I heard a voice, a mechanically transmitted voice. |
9 |
| 30 | 2 |
I heard the words from somewhere, vague, distant, and I tried to move but could not. |
9 |
| 30 | 92 |
Then I heard her laugh and knew who was my tormentor. |
9 |
| 30 | 194 |

9 |
| 30 | 195 |
Once I heard the hiss of silver tubes not more than a few hundred yards away. |
9 |
| 31 | 24 |
I heard Sarm's translator behind me. |
9 |
| 31 | 34 |

The effect of the scars, ugly, startling, terrible, perhaps in part calculated to terrify enemies, had even prompted me, for a wild moment, to conjecture that what I faced on the Plains of Turia were not men, but perhaps aliens of some sort, brought to Gor long ago from remote worlds to serve some n... |

Indeed, secretly among themselves, I have heard, they regard themselves as the highest caste on Gor, though they would not say so for fear of rousing the indignation of other castes. |
9 |
| 9 | 32 |
I have heard, though, there is a Caste of Thieves in Port Kar, a strong caste which naturally protects its members from such indignities as ear notching. |
9 |
| 9 | 149 |
Then, later in the evening, when I was drunker on paga than I should have permitted myself to become, I heard them discuss details which could only have pertained to what Kamchak had called the games of Love War, details having to do with specifications of time, weapons and judges, and such. |
9 |
| 9 | 150 |
Then I heard the sentence, "If she is to participate, you must deliver the golden sphere". |
9 |
| 9 | 158 |
Then I heard the Feast Steward call out, his voice silencing all else, all conversation, even the musicians. |
9 |
| 9 | 160 |
The Feast Steward's voice was heard, "The Lady Aphris of Turia". |
9 |
| 9 | 179 |
I heard Saphrar whisper to Kamchak, whose eyes glowed as they rested on the figure in white and gold on the distant stairway. |
9 |
| 9 | 239 |
"I had brought you a five-belt necklace of diamonds," said Kamchak, "for I had heard you were beautiful". |
9 |
| 9 | 251 |
Kamchak was now swilling paga and acted as though he had not heard the remark of Kamras. |
9 |
| 9 | 328 |
I heard the sound of slave bells attached to ankle rings, to locked wrist bracelets, to Turian collars. |
9 |
| 9 | 363 |
The back and head of Aphris of Turia were rigid with fury, but she gave no sign that she had heard him. |
9 |
| 9 | 410 |
When Aphris heard the delicate click of the box lid it was all she could do not to turn and regard the prize that was to be hers, but she did not do so. |
9 |
| 9 | 461 |
"Wily Tuchuk," I heard him mutter. |
9 |
| 10 | 196 |
I heard some musicians, come out early from Turia, playing a light tune behind the Turian stakes, about fifty yards or so away. |
9 |
| 10 | 244 |
I heard a cry from the Turians across the way. |
9 |
| 10 | 282 |
I heard a judge call, "First Stake! Aphris of Turia!" "Hah!" yelled Kamchak, slapping me on the back, nearly knocking me from the back of my kaiila. |
9 |
| 10 | 320 |
I heard her laugh softly beneath the white veil, trimmed with silk. |
9 |
| 10 | 348 |
I soon heard the other judges repeating his cry. |
9 |
| 10 | 371 |
"You sleen! You filthy sleen! Come back! Come back!" I heard her pulling at the rings and kicking at the post. |
9 |
| 11 | 177 |
We also heard that the wench Hereena, of the First Wagon, had been won by a Turian officer representing the house of Saphrar of the Merchants, to whom, for a fee, he presented her. |
9 |
| 12 | 236 |
I heard two snaps and I saw that Kamchak had put a hobble on Aphris. |
9 |
| 12 | 266 |
I heard a bit of chain and looked up. |
9 |
| 12 | 382 |
I heard Kamchak hush up Aphris of Turia and he gave Elizabeth a poke in the ribs that she might bestir herself. |
9 |
| 12 | 407 |
He pushed up her head and then, with a click that could be heard throughout the enclosure, closed the collar—a Turian collar—about her throat. |
9 |
| 13 | 172 |
One haruspex, as we left, I heard cry out that he had found a favorable liver. |
9 |
| 13 | 188 |
I heard her scream. |
9 |
| 13 | 233 |
Then I too heard it, the winding of a bosk horn in the distance, and then another. |
9 |
| 14 | 12 |
I heard a child screaming its disgust at being thrust in the wagon. |
9 |
| 14 | 28 |
"Master!" I heard Aphris cry. |
9 |
| 14 | 43 |
In the distance we heard a sound like a thunder of wings and then, against the three white moons of Gor, to my dismay, we saw tarnsmen pass overhead, striking toward the camp. |
9 |
| 14 | 56 |
We heard a new thunder of wings and looking overhead saw the tarnsmen, like a black storm, drum beating and tarns screaming, streak by overhead. |
9 |
| 14 | 74 |
I heard Kamchak moan. |
9 |
| 15 | 53 |
I had heard, from a master of hunting sleen, that the Omens were developing predictably, several to one against the choice of a Ubar San. |
9 |
| 16 | 32 |
I heard Harold's voice in the darkness, sounding hollow against the tiled walls and over the water. |
9 |
| 16 | 116 |
We had scarcely cleared the portal and set foot in the street when we heard a swift rustle of heavy wire and, startled, looking up, saw the steel net descend on us. |
9 |
| 16 | 117 |
Immediately we heard the sound of several men leaping down to the street and the draw cords on the wire net—probably of the sort often used for snaring sleen—began to tighten. |
9 |
| 17 | 47 |
I heard the Paravaci, behind the hood, snicker. |
9 |
| 17 | 111 |
"When is it that I meet the monster?" Over the surface I heard Saphrar, standing behind the wooden shield, laugh. |
9 |
| 18 | 4 |
I heard Saphrar remark, "It sometimes takes hours to be fully digested". |
9 |
| 18 | 73 |
"Kill him!" I heard Saphrar cry, and there was suddenly the hiss of a crossbow quarrel which streaked past me and shattered on the curving wall behind me. |
9 |
| 18 | 75 |
I heard another hiss and saw a bolt from the crossbow shatter through the crystalline blue substance. |
9 |
| 18 | 78 |
Then suddenly I heard his agonized cry and saw that beneath me, once again, there glistened the yellow fluids of the pool, moving about him, for the thing—perhaps thermotropic—had again, as rapidly as it had hardened, liquefied and swirled about him, the luminescent spheres and filamen... |
9 |
| 18 | 80 |
I heard the wild, eerie cry of the luckless man beneath me and then, with my fist, broke the blue surface and climbed through, grasping the iron of a reticulated framework supporting numerous energy bulbs. |
9 |
| 18 | 102 |
We heard running feet approaching, those of several men, the clank of arms, the high-pitched, enraged screaming of Saphrar of Turia. |
9 |
| 19 | 36 |
Besides several of the flower trees there were also some Ka-la-na trees, or the yellow wine trees of Gor; there was one large-trunked, reddish Tur tree, about which curled its assemblage of Tur-Pah, a vinelike tree parasite with curled, scarlet, ovate leaves, rather lovely to look upon; the leaves o... |
9 |
| 19 | 41 |
I also heard the running of feet, the sound of arms. |
9 |
| 20 | 18 |
I was about to respond when I heard a stifled scream of horror and saw that Harold had hurled Hereena in my direction, across the space between the tree and the wall. |
9 |
| 20 | 30 |
Then overhead in the darkness we heard the beat of a tarn's wings and saw one of the monstrous birds pass above us. |
9 |
| 20 | 31 |
In a short moment we heard it flutter to alight somewhere beyond. |
9 |
| 20 | 44 |
Almost immediately I heard a shout from the building. |
9 |
| 20 | 47 |
I saw briefly the wild, frightened look in her eyes, heard what might have been a muffled plea. |
9 |
| 20 | 71 |
I then heard a sudden, sharp crack, as of a fist meeting bone. |
9 |
| 20 | 84 |
"My plan exactly," said Harold, "but first should you not teach me to master the tarn?" I heard Hereena moan with horror and she began to struggle madly to free herself of the scarves that bound her. |
9 |
| 20 | 149 |
"Aiii!" I heard Harold cry, and could well imagine what had happened to his stomach. |
9 |
| 20 | 153 |
"The bird will follow this one!" "Very well," I heard him call, cheerily. |
9 |
| 21 | 68 |
I heard the guards laugh. |
9 |
| 21 | 75 |
I heard him cry. |
9 |
| 21 | 80 |
Then I heard a girl cry out, and scream, and two men curse. |
9 |
| 21 | 85 |
I heard the running feet of the two warriors, and then of six more men, pass in the street below. |
9 |
| 21 | 87 |
I heard some speculative conversation in the street below, between two or three passersby, then it seemed quiet. |
9 |
| 21 | 98 |
About this time I heard someone coming along the street whistling a tune. |
9 |
| 21 | 99 |
I had heard it. |
9 |
| 21 | 100 |
Then I realized that I had heard it among the wagons of the Tuchuks. |
9 |
| 21 | 287 |
I heard Harold's voice behind me. |
9 |
| 21 | 341 |
I heard the hiss of crossbow quarrels and one rider and his mount stumbled off the wagon top, falling and rolling to one side, others bounding over him. |
9 |
| 21 | 342 |
Then I heard the twang of the small horn bows of Tuchuks. |
9 |
| 21 | 343 |
Somewhere, off on the other side of the wagon, I heard the heavy grunting of a tharlarion and the squealing of a kaiila, the meeting of lances and shields. |
9 |
| 22 | 42 |
"I heard the crying of women," I said. |
9 |
| 22 | 76 |
It was these women whom I had heard outside the wall. |
9 |
| 23 | 29 |
In the saddle I said to him, "I have heard that the Paravaci are killing bosk". |
9 |
| 23 | 129 |
We heard the bosk horns of the Paravaci signaling to the assembled Thousands. |
9 |
| 23 | 133 |
Then again we heard the bosk horns and the Paravaci, in vast ranks, like sweeping crescents, like steel scythes of men and animals and arms, far extending beyond our own lines, began to move slowly towards us, gaining steadily in momentum and speed with each traversed yard of stained prairie. |
9 |
| 23 | 137 |
I listened, but seemed to hear only the maddeningly intensifying thunder of the Paravaci kaiila sweeping towards us, but then I heard, from the far left and right, the sound of distant bosk horns. |
9 |
| 25 | 3 |
I heard a rustle of chain. |
9 |
| 25 | 10 |
Had I not heard a rustle of chain? Did she think to conceal her bonds, her condition? Surely any Gorean, despite the sheet, would have instantly supposed her to be what she indeed was, a slave, tethered with obdurate metal. |
9 |
| 25 | 153 |
I heard a slight movement of chain. |
9 |
| 25 | 154 |
I heard her voice from behind me, husky. |
9 |
| 25 | 281 |
"I heard," said the girl, seriously, "from a slave—whose name was Hereena—that tomorrow there will be great fighting". |
9 |
| 25 | 538 |
I heard her whisper, "Vella asks only to tremble and obey". |
9 |
| 25 | 908 |
"Well," said I, "what of her?" "As you may have heard," whispered the girl, "Miss Elizabeth Cardwell, the nasty little wench, was forced to yield herself as a slave girl to a master". |
9 |
| 25 | 909 |
"I had heard as much," I said. |

The Egg of Priest-Kings In the dampness and darkness long before dawn the forces of Kamchak, crowding the streets of Turia in the vicinity of Saphrar's compound, waited silently, like dark shapes on the stones; here and there the glint of a weapon or accouterment could be made out in the fading lig... |
9 |
| 26 | 12 |
I heard someone chewing nearby and noted that Harold, who had thrust some strips of bosk meat from the commissary wagon in his belt, was busily engaged, quiva in hand, with cutting and eating the meat. |
9 |
| 26 | 41 |
I heard the rustling of men below in the streets, the checking of arms. |
9 |
| 26 | 87 |
Once or twice I heard swords ringing from within the walls, as perhaps some men, loyal to Saphrar, or to their codes, attempted to prevent their fellows from leaving the compound, but I gather, judging from the continued exodus from the walls, that those who were this loyal were scattered and few in... |
9 |
| 26 | 109 |
Behind me I heard hundreds of ladders and grappling hooks strike against the wall, and, turning, I saw, climbing over the walls, as well as entering through the open gates, hundreds and hundreds of men, until the walls were swarming with Tuchuks, and others of the Wagon Peoples. |
9 |
| 26 | 148 |
Harold tossed a pebble into the opening and it took about ten Ihn before we heard it strike water far below. |
9 |
| 26 | 158 |
I heard Harold cry out with delight at the sight of the fellow, and the man turned to face us, a quiva in his hand. |
9 |
| 26 | 289 |
I heard Harold say, "It is Tolnus". |
9 |
| 26 | 301 |
I heard, vaguely, someone say, "Saphrar and Ha-Keel have fled". |
9 |
| 26 | 304 |
I heard the chains loosened and the two sleen bounded from the room, eyes blazing. |
9 |
| 26 | 332 |
Suddenly, far off, we heard a weird scream, high, wavering, and the shrill howls of frustrated sleen. |
9 |
| 26 | 533 |
"I have heard," said Harold, "that she does nothing but sing around the bosk and in the wagon all day—I myself would probably beat a girl who insisted on making all that noise". |
9 |
| 27 | 198 |
"Wait!" we heard. |
9 |
| 28 | 10 |
Within something like fifty yards we heard a frightened squawk and saw Tuka thrown to the ground with a tackle that might have done credit to a qualified professional player of the American form of football. |
9 |
| 28 | 12 |
There was only so much of this and we soon heard Tuka shrieking for mercy. |

Once as I walked about I heard the wild cry, a howling roar, of an animal, apparently large and fierce; I supposed it to be the Beast of which Ho-Tu, and others, seemed so frightened; they seemed to know as little of it as I; when I heard the cry an involuntary shiver coursed my spine; I felt the ha... |

"Game! Game!" I heard, and quickly shook my head, driving away the memories of Ar, and of the girl once known, always loved. |
9 |
| 3 | 56 |
"Game!" I heard, an answering cry, and a fat fellow, of the Caste of Vintners, puffing and bright eyed, wearing a white tunic with a representation in green cloth of leaves about the collar and down the sleeves of the garment, stepped forth from a doorway. |
9 |
| 3 | 108 |
And through this small crowd, when it heard the terms of the Vintner, there coursed a mutter of irritation. |

I had heard the Pool of the Tropics was an excellent pool in the Capacian; and also the Pool of Ar's Glories, and the Pool of the Northern Forests; there was even, of recent date, a Pool of the Splendor of the Hinrabians; I myself, however, with one arm about Nela, who nestled against me, felt conte... |

"Everything that goes on in Ar," she said, "is heard in the Capacian". |

"Capture of Home Stone," I heard Cernus say to Caprus, who spread his hands helplessly, acknowledging defeat. |

After two months of such treatment, Cernus, perhaps because he wearied of her body, or because he felt she was now ready, now at the height of her hatreds and miseries, ordered her sent to Tor, where, I heard, she was collared, marked and publicly sold during the ninth passage hand, that preceding t... |

9 |

| 17 | 447 |
We heard the voice of Ho-Tu booming in the hall. |
9 |
| 17 | 564 |
I heard Cernus laugh. |
9 |
| 17 | 565 |
"I have heard," jeered Cernus, "that the Killer knows well how to use slaves!" Sura stopped at that moment, and put her head back, though she did not turn to face him, and then she hurried through the door. |
9 |
| 17 | 566 |
"Killer," I heard. |
9 |
| 17 | 825 |
I had heard it cry out and knew that it was not a sleen, nor a larl. |
9 |
| 18 | 153 |
"You seem to me, from what I have seen and heard," I said, "a skilled Physician". |
9 |
| 18 | 275 |
Suddenly I heard an enraged roar from somewhere behind the door. |
9 |
| 18 | 281 |
Suddenly there was a wild cry from behind the door, of almost maniacal intensity, and I thought I heard something moving on the stones behind it, uncontrollable, clawed. |
9 |
| 18 | 284 |
To my horror I heard something behind the door fumbling with a bolt. |
9 |
| 18 | 285 |
It seemed to draw it open, and then, wildly, to thrust it back, keeping the door locked; and then I heard the bolt rattling in its brackets as though something had seized it and trembling was trying to hold it in place. |
9 |
| 18 | 331 |
"Paga," I heard her whisper. |
9 |
| 18 | 366 |
I heard the guard take another swallow of the paga, a long swallow, and then he sat there again, holding the bottle. |
9 |
| 18 | 372 |
I heard the guard calling out from near the stairs. |
9 |
| 18 | 465 |
I heard a laugh behind me, and spun. |
9 |
| 19 | 24 |
"Slave!" I heard. |
9 |

"Slave!" I heard, and felt again the sting of a strap in someone's hand. |
9 |

"This is the Curulean," I heard Philemon of Tyros say, the words sounding far off, blurred through the hood. |
9 |

I heard two girls laugh and I felt my ankles seized and held while small hands thrust on my back, taking me by surprise and throwing me heavily forward; I struck my shoulder on the back of the cart and the booted foot of a Warrior thrust me from the cart and I fell to my knees on the stones; when I ... |
9 |
| 19 | 55 |
I heard the two girls laugh and dart away. |
9 |
| 19 | 58 |
I heard my neck chain being unbolted from the back of the wagon. |
9 |
| 19 | 96 |
I heard movement about me and sensed that Cernus had now arrived. |
9 |
| 19 | 97 |
In a few moments I heard his voice. |
9 |
| 19 | 173 |
It was perhaps the plainest of all the barbarians who had been brought on the black ships; though I knew the girl to be among the most intelligent, and also, I had heard, among the most responsive. |
9 |
| 19 | 202 |
I even heard some angry pounding on the wooden screens surrounding the box of Cernus. |
9 |
| 19 | 236 |
"Eight gold pieces!" I heard cry from the crowd. |
9 |
| 19 | 238 |
"Ten!" I heard cry. |
9 |
| 19 | 243 |
"Twenty gold pieces!" I heard cry. |
9 |
| 19 | 244 |
"Twenty-five!" I heard from another area. |
9 |
| 19 | 247 |
"Forty!" I heard cry. |
9 |
| 19 | 335 |
When the tumult subsided, the voice of Samos was heard again. |
9 |
| 19 | 429 |
Then we heard nine hundred and fifty bid, and then, incredibly, a thousand, and then a bid for the astounding sum of fourteen hundred pieces of gold. |
9 |
| 19 | 473 |
I heard the sound of a slave whip below the block, the hysterical, wild sobbing and screaming of a slave girl. |
9 |
| 19 | 482 |
I heard the crowd cry out. |
9 |
| 19 | 483 |
I heard the auctioneer making his call for the first bid. |
9 |
| 20 | 43 |
I heard, far off, a weird scream, that of Portus, and a wild, savage cry, almost a roar. |
9 |
| 20 | 161 |
I heard someone ask, "Was she of High Caste?" "I was the daughter of a Cloth Worker," said Melanie. |
9 |
| 20 | 187 |
I had gathered in the months in the house, from what I had seen and heard, that Cernus was indeed a fine player. |
9 |
| 20 | 222 |
I heard one of the men near me whisper to another. |
9 |
| 21 | 79 |
I heard a distant trumpet, the warning trumpet. |
9 |
| 21 | 85 |
The voice struck me as familiar, as being one I had heard somewhere before. |
9 |
| 21 | 86 |
"Beloved Vancius!" I heard. |
9 |
| 21 | 90 |
I heard light, bare feet run into the room. |
9 |
| 21 | 91 |
"Vancius!" I heard a girl cry. |
9 |
| 21 | 93 |
Then, unmistakably, I heard her run to Vancius and, apparently to his surprise, and consternation, but not displeasure, she flung herself into his arms. |
9 |
| 21 | 94 |
I heard their words not plainly, his question, her asseverations of passion, mixed in the meetings of their mouths. |
9 |
| 21 | 96 |
"Vancius, I am yours!" I heard. |
9 |
| 21 | 97 |
"Yes, yes!" I heard him say. |
9 |
| 21 | 98 |
I then heard a heavy sound, as though someone had been struck heavily from behind. |
9 |
| 21 | 99 |
"Now, Vancius," I heard, "you are mine!" I tried to tear the steel helmet from my head with my manacled wrists. |
9 |
| 21 | 102 |
I heard the girl's voice again. |
9 |
| 21 | 113 |
I heard the key move in the lock, and felt air as the helmet was lifted. |
9 |
| 21 | 156 |
We heard then the third trumpet, signaling the beginning of the sport. |
9 |
| 21 | 175 |
I heard the crowd crying far off. |
9 |
| 21 | 176 |
I heard the snapping of a whip. |
9 |
| 21 | 180 |
Ho-Tu came behind me, fiercely cracking the whip, crying out, "Hurry, Lazy Slave! Hurry!" I heard men in the tunnel laugh. |
9 |
| 21 | 183 |
"Hurry!" I heard a stadium attendant call. |
9 |
| 21 | 238 |
I had heard the ring of steel. |
9 |
| 21 | 270 |
I moved swiftly drawing one Warrior or another after me, and he who was swiftest died first; I turned and spun, accepting or not accepting an attack, always to isolate a man; vaguely, as though far off, I heard the screaming of Philemon in the Ubar's box, the shouting of Taurentians; in a moment's r... |
9 |
| 21 | 271 |
"Kill him! Kill him!" I heard Philemon screaming. |
9 |

I heard the leader of the men I had attacked laugh. |
9 |
| 21 | 349 |
"Kill them!" I heard Philemon scream. |

I heard Relius cry to Ho-Sorl. |

I heard the warning bar for a race about to begin. |
9 |

Approaching him we heard a wild tarn scream, of hate and challenge, and we stopped. |
9 |

I heard the judge's bar ringing three times signaling tarns to the starting perches. |
9 |

I heard the crowd roar. |
9 |
| 22 | 99 |
I heard the men behind me gasp with wonder. |
9 |
| 22 | 109 |
I heard the judge's bar, a bristling fire of wings, and the sudden, wild roar of the crowd. |
9 |
| 22 | 116 |
I heard cries of astonishment from those I passed. |
9 |
| 22 | 117 |
"It is Gladius of Cos!" I heard. |
9 |

I heard the rider of the Blues curse and those who favored the Steels leaped roaring to their feet. |
