3 256 Whereas large Earth birds, such as the eagle, must, when taking flight from the ground, begin with a running start, the tarn, with its incredible musculature, aided undoubtedly by the somewhat lighter gravity of Gor, can with a spring and a sudden flurry of its giant wings lift both himself and his ...

3 272 He fastened himself in the saddle with a broad purple strap.
Details
10
4 6 The effect was startling: there was the sudden bright flash of yellow glittering light, the splash of sparks, and a scream of pain and rage from the tarn as he immediately beat his wings, lifting himself out of my reach in a rush of air that nearly forced me over the edge of the roof.
Details
10
4 11 If he had not been simply a winged beast, I would have believed him to be struggling with himself, a creature locked inwardly in mental torture.
Details
10
4 90 There was a rush of wings outside the window of my apartment, and the Older Tarl flung himself across the room and dragged me to the floor.

12 21 He himself showed no impatience.

12 177 I breathed a sigh of relief as the black monster lifted himself in flight.

13 116 The man, who seemed to leap into gigantic stature as he lifted himself into full height, took from under his yellow robes a tarn whistle and blew a long, shrill note.

10
14 95 As I found a moment's respite, I spun to face him, hoping to have it out with the Ubar himself, but as I did so, the shackles that I had worn struck me forcibly in the face and throat, thrown like a bolo by Marlenus.
Details
10
14 115 Marlenus himself knelt in the darkness to check the knots in the binding fiber, tightening them carefully.
Details
10
14 146 The first guess would be that my body had torn in two, and the darkness would conceal the truth for a moment, until the tarnsman himself would try the ropes, to test the weight of their burden.

15 109 Without looking around the tent, the man addressed himself directly to Kazrak.

15 218 He will proclaim himself their liberator, their deliverer from the despotism of the Initiates, the restorer of the old order, the glory of the empire".

10
16 56 Indeed, it was probable that Pa-Kur had no intention of returning the Home Stones at all but was determined to follow in the imperial footsteps of Marlenus himself.

10
17 34 The Supreme Initiate, as he called himself, raised a shield and then set it at his feet.

19 87 Pa-Kur himself seemed awed.

10
19 128 Pa-Kur feinted, not exposing himself, his eyes seeming to watch my shoulder, noting how I parried the blow.

10
20 19 Oddly enough, the body of Pa-Kur himself was never recovered from the foot of the Cylinder of Justice.

10
20 21 Marlenus, in spite of his heroic role in the victory, submitted himself to the judgment of Ar's Council of High Castes.

10
1 62 I felt that the time would come when Cabot would speak to me of the mountains but that he himself would have to choose that time.

10
1 128 Cabot, still half-drunk, looked about himself, at the brutal electric geometry of that great city, at the dark, lonely shapes that moved through the light snow, at the pale glimmering headlights of the cars.

3 84 Indeed, frequent enough were the stories where even a warrior was overcome by an angry peasant into whose hut he had intruded himself, for in the vicinity of their Home Stones men fight with all the courage, savagery and resourcefulness of the mountain larl.

3 88 He would speak little himself, being unskilled in speech, and being too proud to form sentences which he knew would most likely be stumbling and ungrammatical, but would sit by the fire until dawn refusing to let me sleep, wanting me to talk to him, to tell him stories, to recount adventures, to giv...

10
5 75 He seemed to be struggling with himself, as though he wanted to speak his own words and not those of the Priest-Kings.

7 34 It was obvious that Thorn, unlike my old enemy Pa-Kur, who presumably had perished at the siege of Ar, was not a man above sensual vices, not a man who could with fanatical purity and single-minded devotion sacrifice himself and entire peoples to the ends of his ambition and power.
Details
10
8 109 Since the siege of Ar, when Pa-Kur, Master Assassin, had violated the limits of his caste and had presumed, in contradiction to the traditions of Gor, to lead a horde upon the city, intending to make himself Ubar, the Caste of Assassins had lived as hated, hunted men, no longer esteemed mercenaries ...

14 171 I wondered sometimes if that bird, my Ubar of the Skies, that tarn of tarns, of a race of birds spoken of by Goreans as Brothers of the Wind, might have considered himself as above the goad, resented its shocks and sparks, resented that that puny human device would pretend to teach him, he, a tarn o...

15 40 The man of Tharna, taught from birth to regard himself as an unworthy, ignoble and inferior creature, at best a dull-witted beast of burden, did not, on the whole, make a good tarnsman.

15 15 Looking up I saw Misk, disdaining the rope, bend himself backwards through the aperture in the ceiling and, step by dainty step, walk across the ceiling upside down and then back himself nimbly down the side of the wall.

16 60 I mused that man had not proved himself worthy of such a technology even to himself.

10
33 125 I had intended to make use of that moment myself, pretending to have come with a message from Priest-Kings, to encourage man to live as I wished him to live, to respect himself and others, to be kind and to be worthy of the heritage of a rational animal, and yet of what worth would these things be i...

2 92 As soon as he casts his weapon he throws himself to the ground and covers his body with his shield, as does each man successively behind him.

2 95 Once Last Spear casts his weapon he may not throw himself to the ground.

10
2 99 He does not hurl himself to the ground in order that he will remain conspicuously in the larl's field of vision and thus be the object of its wounded, maddened onslaught.

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.

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 27 His sandaled feet did not reach to the floor, and he made a slight grimace as he settled himself on the throne.

10
4 125 He glanced about himself with ill-concealed terror.

10
5 168 "But there is only one Priest-King," I said, "who calls himself Parp".

9 62 "But in the end," said Vika, "fearing he would slay himself she consented to become his Free Companion".

10
12 191 Now the man was on his knees, gasping, supporting himself on the palm of his right hand.
Details
10
14 156 I would learn later, however, that this simple fact was indeed almost incomprehensible to Priest-Kings, and that Misk, though he readily accepted it as a fact in his mind, could not bring himself, so to speak, in the furthest reaches of his heart to acknowledge it as true, for were not both he and S...

17 17 Sarm looked about himself.

17 104 Later we will allow him to rest, and he will see and hear and think again for himself".

10
17 127 He looked furtively about himself as though he feared he might be observed.

10
18 98 Sarm stopped on the narrow iron railing circling the huge, glassy blue dome and straightened himself and turned to face me.
Details
10
18 112 He moved his forelegs in a strange parallel pattern, touching himself with each leg at three places on the thorax and one behind the eyes.
Details
10
18 114 I then realized that he had touched himself at the points of entry taken by the wires which had been infixed in the young Priest-King's body on the stone table in the secret compartment below Misk's chamber.
Details
10
18 142 "Precisely," said Sarm, "and yet there is one among us—himself incredibly enough a Priest-King—who could betray his own kind, who would be willing to see this glory vanish".
Details
10
19 52 I was pleased to note that it was only with genuine effort that Sarm managed to control himself.
Details
10
20 204 Also of course a Free Companionship might be refused, in all Gorean right, by the girl, and thus a warrior can hardly be blamed, after risking his life, for not wanting to risk losing the precious prize which he has just, at great peril to himself, succeeded in winning.

10
22 91 Misk drew himself up to his proud, almost eighteen feet of height, save that he inclined slightly forward from the vertical, and fixed on us with his antennae what I had come to recognize in the last few weeks as a look of rather patient, gentle reproach.
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
27 167 Once again Sarm leaped in, his bladed projection lifted to strike, but this time Misk suddenly straightened himself promptly on the leg which had seemed to fail him and whipped his antennae back behind his head an instant before the stroke of Sarm's blade and when Sarm struck he found his appendage ...
Details
10
27 182 My interest was more with Sarm, whom I saw lift himself with delicate menace to his four posterior appendages.
Details
10
27 186 Sarm had drawn himself up again to his full height and like a golden blade he stood behind Misk and before the Mother.
Details
10
27 190 But Sarm looked about himself to the golden rows of immobile Priest-Kings who watched him and then, satisfied, he opened those great, laterally moving jaws and advanced slowly on Misk.
Details
10
28 5 I think with one such weapon a man might have made himself Ubar of all Gor.
Details
10
28 238 To be sure, a smaller dome would make the craft more maneuverable in the tunnels, but I think Misk did not trust himself to do battle with his former brethren.
Details
10
29 49 I hoped Sarm himself might have been in that flagship.
Details
10
29 136 His abdomen now dragged on the ground but he pushed himself toward me, jaws snapping, by means of the two forward supporting appendages and the remains of his posterior appendages.
Details
10
29 144 Did it wish me to comb the antennae? Was it conscious? Was it mad with pain? I stood not understanding and then the Priest-King did what he wished: with a toss of his great golden head he hurled his antennae against my blade, cutting them from his head, and then, after a moment, having closed himsel...
Details
10
30 186 The most remarkable event was a delegation of Sarm's Priest-Kings, led by Kusk himself, who surrendered to Misk, pledging themselves to his cause.
Details
10
31 5 Misk would surrender himself to Sarm and I, theoretically, would then be allowed to go free.
Details
10
31 104 Dusty, covered with whitish powder, he looked about himself disbelievingly at the ruins.
Details
10
31 153 He had been watching me approach and now his antennae focused on me and he drew himself up to his full golden height.
Details
10
31 194 I thought he might be telling himself to be done with me, but somehow I knew this could not be.
Details
10
31 231 One last time he looked about himself, his antennae surveying the grandeur of the Nest, and then tumbled from the walkway and fell to the surface of the globe and slid until he fell to the rubble below.
Details
10
32 93 I smiled to myself, for Misk seemed now to busy himself with his cleaning hooks.
Details
10
32 176 Misk seemed to straighten himself, his antennae waved about wildly, every fiber of his body seemed to shiver.
Details
10
32 238 In a bound, almost like a small balloon, he floated up, and twisting about, reseated himself in the throne.
Details
10
32 301 He threw the switch again and the portal began to roll down but one of the larls with a wild roar threw himself towards it and got half his body and one long, raking clawed paw under it.
Details
10
32 332 "Good," said Parp, not flinching, "follow me!" Vika screamed and I cried out for him to stop, but Parp dashed forward and threw himself into the jaws of the startled larl and it lifted him in its jaws and began to shake him savagely, and I was at its feet and thrust my sword between its ribs, plungi...

34 15 "We do not know," said the Older Tarl, for my father could not bring himself to say the words.

35 54 I truly believe it never occurred to Misk that I meant that he himself, Misk, was the greatest of the Priest-Kings.

10
8 243 The problem of the young man, and perhaps the reason that he had not yet won even the Courage Scar of the Tuchuks, was that he had fallen into the hands of Turian raiders in his youth and had spent several years in the city; in his adolescence he had, at great risk to himself, escaped from the city ...

8 249 He had armed himself with castoff weapons, with which he practiced in solitude.

9 464 It was something he would not buy with the golden sphere from Saphrar the merchant; it was something he was clearly capable of arranging, with Tuchuk cunning, by himself.
Details
10
10 18 It was one of the highest prices ever paid among the wagons for a slave and I judged that Albrecht had sorely missed his little Tenchika; the high price he was forced to pay for the girl was made even more intolerable by Kamchak's amusement at his expense, roaring with laughter and slapping his knee...
Details
10
10 164 "Any man who permits himself to care for a slave girl," said Kamchak, "is a fool".
Details
10
10 168 At this Kamchak lost all control over himself and he leaned over backward slapping his thighs with the palms of his hands, laughing as though he were demented.
Details
10
10 170 I would not have much minded if he had asphyxiated himself on the spot.
Details
10
12 18 I wondered if Saphrar himself might be the key to the mysteries that confronted me.
Details
10
12 218 These various things, from time to time, would be used not only by himself but by others in the group, probably the second kaska player and the third flutist.
Details
10
13 2 Kamchak was beside himself with fury.

10
13 13 He hoisted himself to the saddle of his kaiila, a prancing and trembling hunting sleen on each side of the animal, the chains running to the pommel of the saddle.

14 88 Kamchak looked about himself, and picked up one of the arrows and snapped it.

15 10 In the field the Tuchuks would counter the tarnsmen by breaking open the Hundreds into scattered Tens and presenting only erratic, swiftly moving targets; it is difficult to strike a rider or beast at a distance from tarnback when he is well aware of you and ready to evade your missile; and, of cour...

15 90 Once he pounded the rug on the polished floor in front of him and cried out angrily, as though to remind himself of some significant and inalterable fact, "She is Turian! Turian!" The work of the wagon was done by Tuka and another girl, whom Kamchak hired for the purpose.

16 64 If so, I might have nominated the young man hoisting himself up the rope above me as a candidate for the distinction.

21 139 In answer to her questions I told her the reason for which I had entered the city—to steal an object of value from Saphrar of Turia, which he himself had stolen from the Tuchuks.

21 220 Then the officer of the guard, nearly beside himself with rage, ordered several of his amused men to put their shoulders to the wagon as well.

23 50 He had apparently, in the past several days since our escape from Saphrar's keep, been familiarizing himself with the saddle straps and the bird's habits and responses.

24 11 I reminded myself, beyond this, that if his house should actually be forced, and himself threatened, he could always flee, with relative safety, at the last moment, abandoning his men, his servants and slaves to the mercies of ravaging Tuchuks.

10
25 304 What then would be her fate? Moreover, I reminded myself of my work, and that a warrior cannot well encumber himself with a woman, particularly not a free woman.

26 132 We passed through kitchens and galleries, even through the private compartments of Saphrar himself, where we saw the multitudinous robes and sandals of the merchant, each worked predominantly in white and gold, though often mixed with hundreds of other colors.
