2	2	I awoke, feeling rested, and opened my eyes, half expecting to see my room in the alumni house at the college.	10
2	35	I leaped to the top of the table almost as I would have climbed a stair in the alumni house.	10
18	80	Looking about, I saw several of the caves dug into the walls of the pit, which, at least in most pits, house the inmates.	10

3	39	Yet I supposed this seemingly impervious wall must house the portal of the Hall of Priest-Kings.	10
9	34	In the house of Priest-Kings there could be no love, nor could she know her own mind in these matters, and there was always Talena, whose image would never be eradicated from my heart.	10

26	125	Not hurrying Kamchak walked his kaiila up the stairs of the house and, on kaiilaback, entered the main hall of the House of Saphrar.	10
9	3	It was somewhat surprising to me that Kamchak and I, being in our way ambassadors of the Wagon Peoples, were entertained in the house of Saphrar, the merchant, rather than in the palace of Phanius Turmus, Administrator of Turia.	10
9	53	"Do not object that we are entertained in the house of Saphrar of the Merchants," Kamchak had said, "for in Turia power lies with such men".	10
9	60	"Besides," Kamchak had told me, nudging me in the ribs, "the food and the entertainment are better in the house of Saphrar than in the palace of Phanius Turmus".	10
9	90	Thus, unfortunately, save for an occasional furtive pair of dark eyes peering from behind a veil in a recessed casement, we saw in our journey from the gate of the city to the House of Saphrar none of the fabled, silken beauties of Turia.	10
9	161	I and all others turned our eyes to a wide, swirling marble stairway in the back and to the left of the lofty banquet hall in the house of Saphrar the merchant.	10
10	297	The selection of the girls, incidentally, is determined by judges in their city, or of their own people, in Turia by members of the Caste of Physicians who have served in the great slave houses of Ar; among the wagons by the masters of the public slave wagons, who buy, sell and rent girls, providing...	10
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.	10
15	43	Now, to my chagrin, the sphere lay not in a Tuchuk wagon on the open prairie but, presumably, in the House of Saphrar, a merchant stronghold, behind the high, white walls of Turia.	10
15	130	"I expect," I said, "it might be found here or there in the House of Saphrar, a merchant of Turia".	10
16	61	"Stealing a wench from the House of Saphrar and returning on a stolen tarn".	10
16	79	"Is it far to the House of Saphrar?" I asked.	10
16	98	"That is all well and good," I said, "but I think it would be better to strike out for the House of Saphrar".	10
16	113	I told myself it might be better, even, to come to the House of Saphrar late, rather than possibly before the twentieth hour.	10
16	123	"Take them to the House of Saphrar," said the first man.	10
16	222	"The collar was sewn on the girl in this very house," said he, "though the poor thing was anesthetized at the time and unaware of the honor bestowed upon her".	10
16	247	I recalled, with a certain amount of satisfaction, even in the House of Saphrar, that I had managed to resolve most of these disputes in my favor.	10
17	3	The pool is indoors—in a spacious chamber in the House of Saphrar—with a domed ceiling of some eighty feet in height.	10
18	116	About a hundred and fifty yards away, over several small roofs and domes, all within the vast compound that was the House of Saphrar of Turia, I saw the high walls of what was undoubtedly a Pleasure Garden.	10
19	20	"Their movements will undoubtedly be coordinated in the house of Saphrar—and some tarns and their riders, if only messengers or officers—will surely be available".	10
19	22	Undoubtedly tarnsmen, mounted, would come from time to time during the night to the House of Saphrar.	10
19	33	And so we sat with our backs against the flower tree in the House of Saphrar, merchant of Turia.	10
20	4	"Probably," I said, "on the highest roof of the highest building in the House of Saphrar".	10
20	33	It stood some seventy feet from any of the other buildings in the compound that was the House of Saphrar, but now, swaying, formed of rope and sticks, a removable footbridge extended from an open door in its side to a porch some several feet below us.	10
20	155	I took one long turn, seeing the torches and lights in the House of Saphrar below, and then guided my bird out over the prairie in the direction of the wagons of the Tuchuks.	10
20	156	I was elated that we had managed to escape alive from the House of Saphrar, but I knew that I must return to the city, for I had not obtained the object for which I had come—the golden sphere—which still resided in the merchant stronghold.	10
21	56	I came to the ring of flat, cleared ground, some hundred feet or so wide, which separates the walled compound of buildings which constitutes the House of Saphrar of Turia from all the surrounding structures.	10
21	92	I might go after the wagons, which would be moving slowly, obtain the tarn I had left with them, and then return on tarnback to Saphrar's house.	10
21	166	There I thought long on the matter of the egg of Priest-Kings and the House of Saphrar.	10
21	239	"Do as I say! Go home, bolt the door to your rooms, do not leave the house!" "But, Tarl Cabot," she said.	10
22	9	The compound of the House of Saphrar, however, had not fallen, protected by its numerous guardsmen and its high walls, nor had the tower elsewhere that sheltered the tarn cots and warriors of Ha-Keel, the mercenary from Port Kar.	10
22	20	After we had taken the girl and the potter and wine vendor to whatever safety their homes might afford, we set out for the House of Saphrar, where, after some examination of the scene, I convinced myself there was nothing immediately to be done.	10
24	7	The House of Saphrar still stood, and the tower that had been fortified by Ha-Keel's tarnsmen.	10
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
24	63	"Kamchak will close the gates soon," said Harold, "and then we shall get to work on Saphrar's house and that tarn roost of Ha-Keel's".	10
24	65	The city now largely clear of defenders, and closed to the outside, Kamchak could bring his forces to bear on Saphrar's house, that fort within a fort, and on the tower of Ha-Keel, taking them, if necessary, by storm.	10
24	233	Tomorrow I knew the assault would begin on the House of Saphrar and the tower of Ha-Keel.	10
26	66	The House of Saphrar was encircled literally by thousands of warriors.	10
26	124	"Sleen!" cried Saphrar, and turned and ran deeper within the house.	10
26	127	Again and again we encountered guards within the house but each time, when Saphrar took refuge behind them, Kamchak would throw gold to them and they would dissipate and Saphrar, panting, puffing, still clutching the large, purple-wrapped object in his arms, would on his short legs hurry off again.	10
26	130	Our pursuit carried us from room to room, through hall after hall, in the great house of Saphrar of Turia.	10
26	414	We turned the kaiila from the courtyard of the burning House of Saphrar and, abreast, rode from that place.	10
27	5	Turia had been a rich city, and though much gold had been given to the tarnsmen of Ha-Keel and the defenders of the House of Saphrar, it was a tiny amount when compared with the whole, not even counting that lost by being carried by civilians through the gates Kamchak had designated as escapes from ...	10

9	21	Less impressive perhaps but even more essential to the operation of the House were its kitchens, its laundries, commissaries and storerooms; its medical facilities, in which dental care is also provided; its corridors of rooms for staff members, all of whom live in the House; its library, its record...	10
4	194	A year later, by slave wagon, I reached the fair of Se'Var near the Sardar, where I was sold to the House of Clark, from which house I and many others were fortunate enough to be purchased by the House of Cernus, in Glorious Ar".	10
16	3	The men of the House of Portus, who had been Slavers and mercenaries the equals of those of the House of Cernus, had now been disbanded, some leaving the city, some taking their gold from new masters, some even hiring their swords to the House of Cernus.	10
2	263	"Where does this house obtain riches such that they may so easily outbid all other factions in Ar?" "It is a rich house," said Portus, looking about himself.	10
4	36	In the House of Cernus, after the sheet, bracelets, leash and collar had been removed, agents of the House of Cernus had checked her fingerprints against those on the papers.	10
5	497	Papers will be prepared on you and you will be transmitted to the House of Clark in Thentis, whence you will be taken by tarn caravan to Ar, where you will be sold privately, your purchase to be effected by the agents of the House of Cernus, under the instructions of Caprus".	10
5	608	Then, whistling, Al-Ka would pull the wagon out of the grove and Elizabeth would be on her way to Thentis, for delivery to the House of Clark, only another slave girl, naked and chained, perhaps lovelier than most but yet scarcely to be noticed among the many others, each day, delivered to so large ...	10
5	761	At that moment a bar, struck in a certain pattern by an iron hammer somewhere in the house, rang out, the sound taken up by other bars, also struck, on various floors of the House of Cernus.	10
7	141	It was undoubtedly such gold which permitted the House of Cernus to gain significant influence in the city, sponsoring races and games, as well as permitting the house to undersell, when it pleased, other Merchants.	10
9	1	I Learn of the House of Cernus Ho-Tu, as Elizabeth had suggested, was only too willing to show me about the House of Cernus.	10
9	6	The breeding lines of the House of Cernus were recognized, with those of the House of Portus, and certain other of the large slave houses, throughout known Gor.	10
9	9	On the other hand, considering the large number of slaves on Gor, only a small fraction are carefully bred; a larger fraction is bred, but more haphazardly, as when a given male of one private house is mated, for a price, with a given female of another house.	10
9	18	The House of Cernus, which is a broad, many-storied cylinder, has a number of facilities which any large slave house must have.	10
9	24	Although there are some private show and sales rooms in the House of Cernus, and private auctions and exhibitions, intended to interest prospective clients, are held, most slaves, of the House of Cernus and others, are sold in one of the five public auction houses, licensed and taxed by the Administ...	10
14	5	It is a rule in the House of Cernus that all slaves, save those who may be on house business, be secured by the eighteenth bar.	10
14	55	The reason that Elizabeth and I had been placed in the House of Cernus had been because Caprus, according to report, could not obtain the documents we believed must exist in the house.	10
14	134	I knew the House of Portus was the greatest remaining rival to the House of Cernus, fighting it for the control of the slave trade in Ar.	10
15	218	Later, when the girls became reasonably proficient at Gorean, they were permitted the freedom of the House baths, which they enjoyed, and the liberty to move about the House rather as they pleased, saving that they must be locked in their cells by the eighteenth bar.	10
15	225	In the beginning, when moving about the house, the girls had been permitted only the garb customarily worn in the sweat and motion of the training, a rectangle of silk, about a foot long, thrust into a silken string knotted about the waist; Virginia and Phyllis would not even leave their cells so cl...	10
15	358	My own duties during these months in the House of Cernus remained light, consisting of little more than accompanying Cernus on infrequent occasions on which he left the house, a member of his guard; in the city Cernus traveled in a sedan chair, borne on the shoulders of eight men.	10
16	48	According to Ho-Tu, whom I had once asked about this, there were two main reasons for this; first, their training was peculiarly full and intensive; second, the prospect of being permitted to leave the house, particularly attractive to Virginia and Phyllis, who had known nothing of Gor save the Hous...	10
17	168	He referred to a practice of handing out passes, dated ostraka bearing the print of the House of Cernus, outside the gate of the Slaver's house, which were dispensed on a first-come-first-served basis, a thousand a day, each day of the races.	10
17	238	It was true that Elizabeth was no longer needed in the House, nor had she been for a long time; Caprus had located the important materials and was copying them; I was needed, of course, to take the documents and Caprus from the house.	10
17	239	Elizabeth, predictably, did not care to leave without me, but she recognized the plan as a good one; if she could be independently removed from the House there would be less for Caprus and me to worry about; further, she naturally wished Virginia and Phyllis to have the same opportunity for freedom ...	10
18	499	"We knew that Priest-Kings would suspect our House, as we intended that they should; so simple a ruse, and profitable a one, as selling barbarian Earth girls under the auspices of the House would guarantee their investigation.	10
19	193	Yet when he persisted, there were some token offers, perhaps by men who wished to obtain a kettle girl for next to nothing; I was not surprised to note that each time a legitimate offer was made, though small, it was topped slightly by a fellow in the robes of the Metal Workers, whom I knew to be a ...	10
2	244	"I am that Portus," said he, "who is Master of the House of Portus".	10
2	245	Kuurus had heard of the House of Portus, one of the largest of the slave houses in the Street of Brands.	10
2	248	"There is a house greater than mine, or any on the Street of Brands," said he.	10
2	249	"You fear this house?" asked Kuurus.	10
2	250	"Those of this house stand near the Administrator, and the High Initiate," said Portus.	10
2	252	"The gold of this house is heavy in the councils of the city".	10
2	253	"The Administrator and the High Initiate," asked Kuurus, "owe their thrones to the gold of this house?" Portus laughed bitterly.	10
2	254	"Without the gold of this house, how could the Administrator and the High Initiate have sponsored the races and the games that won them the favor of the lower castes?" "But the lower castes do not elect the Administrator or the High Initiate," said Kuurus.	10
2	264	"It is a rich house".	10
2	267	"My own house could not begin to sponsor the games of even two days—we would be bankrupt".	10
2	268	"Of what interest is this house to you?" asked Kuurus.	10
2	269	"It wants to be the single slave house of Ar," whispered Portus.	10
2	271	"My house," said Portus, "is twenty generations old.	10
2	273	The house of Portus is known on all Gor".	10
2	277	"That is the wish, however, of the house of which I speak," said Portus.	10
2	280	"How can this house of which you speak," asked Kuurus, "undersell so consistently? Is it that the number of slaves is so great that the profit taken on each is less?" "I have thought long on it," said Portus, "and that cannot be all of it.	10
2	281	I know this business well, the costs of information, organization, planning, acquisition, transportation and security, the care and feeding and training of the animals, the guards, the costs of the auctions, the taxes on sales, the deliveries to distant cities—and the staff of the house I spe...	10
2	287	I am convinced the house of which I speak has major sources of gold other than the income on their merchandise".	10
2	289	"There is another strange thing about that house I do not understand," said Portus.	10
2	312	"I gather," said Kuurus, "that you wish to hire my sword, that you may in some degree protect yourself from the men and the plans of the house of which you have spoken".	10
2	315	"You say that this house of which you speak is the largest and richest, the most powerful, on the Street of Brands?" "Yes," said Portus.	10
2	316	"What is the name of this house?" asked Kuurus.	10
2	317	"The House of Cernus," said Portus.	10
2	320	"Good!" "By the House of Cernus," said the Assassin.	10
2	349	It bore the legend: I am the property of the House of Cernus.	10
2	351	"Unfortunately," said she, "the key reposes in the House of Cernus".	10
2	353	"You had best call me Vella," said she, "for that is the name I am known by in the House of Cernus".	10
2	360	I mumbled something, but she would hear nothing of it, and suddenly feeling her in my arms I laughed and held her to me, and she laughed, and whispered, "I love you, Tarl Cabot," and I said to her, "Kuurus, Kuurus—of the Caste of Assassins," and she said, "Yes, Kuurus—and poor Vella of...	10
4	2	Cernus of Ar, of the House of Cernus, studied me, his large face impassive, his eyes revealing nothing, like gray stones.	10
4	7	The House of Cernus, I had heard, had interests in several of the Hurt Ranches near the city.	10
4	11	"I am the first sword in the House of Cernus," said Cernus.	10
4	12	The room in which I stood was the Hall of the House of Cernus.	10
4	18	It reminded me, in its way, of a room in a prison and such, in its way, it was, for it was a room in the House of Cernus, greatest of the slave houses of Ar.	10
4	19	Cernus wore about his neck, on a golden chain, a medallion which bore the crest of the House of Cernus, a tarn with slave chains grasped in its talons.	10
4	21	"I have come," I said, "to rent my sword to the House of Cernus".	10
4	24	"It is understood by me," said Cernus, evidently relaying certain reports which had reached him, "that Portus, of the House of Portus, sought to hire your sword in vain".	10
4	27	"Otherwise," he said, "you surely would not have come here—for in this house we are innocent".	10
4	30	After a bit of cold bosk, some water and a handful of peas, I had come to the House of Cernus.	10
4	33	It was Caprus of Ar, Chief Accountant to the House of Cernus.	10
4	34	He lived in the house and seldom went abroad in the streets.	10
4	37	She had then been examined thoroughly by the Physicians of the House of Cernus.	10
4	38	Then, found acceptable, she had knelt while agents of the House signed the receipt of her delivery and endorsed her papers, retaining one set, giving one set to the seller's agent, for forwarding to the Cylinder of Documents.	10
4	39	Then she had submitted herself to the House of Cernus, kneeling before one of its agents, lowering her head, extending her arms, wrists crossed.	10
4	42	There had been no difficulty, it seemed, in placing Vella in the House of Cernus.	10
4	57	I heard them shouting in the corridors of the house.	10
4	89	Now, in the Hall of the House of Cernus, my thoughts became bitter.	10
4	102	"This house itself," said Cernus, "is allied with the faction of the Greens, as certain other houses, and various of the establishments of the city, are associated with other factions".	10
4	103	"I know," I said, "that the House of Cernus is allied with the Greens".	10
4	104	"I now see," said Cernus, "that there is more reason than I suspected in your desire to rent your sword in this house".	10
4	105	"Yes," said I, "for all I know, the man I seek may be of this house".	10
4	109	"But you are welcome in this house," said Cernus.	10
4	114	"But for the time," he said, "it is valuable for me simply for it to be known that your sword is in this house".	10
4	120	"It is known to me that in the tavern of Spindius, you slew four Warriors of the House of Portus".	10
4	129	Indeed, I had instructed her, when she had returned late to the House of Cernus, to bewail and protest what had theoretically happened to her in no uncertain terms.	10
4	131	Moreover, he probably knew it anyway, as she had been assigned to his staff, primarily to run errands in the city, for Caprus, it was said, seldom cared to leave the House of Cernus.	10
4	132	I wished to be able to work closely with Vella in the House of Cernus.	10
4	153	She did so, and I gathered it was the first time she had actually looked on the face of the master of the House of Cernus.	10
4	180	"My last master," said she, "Clark of the House of Clark in Thentis, removed it".	10
4	185	"I had a Tuchuk girl once," said Cernus, "a wild girl of the wagons, of whom I was fond, but when she tried to kill me, I strangled her in the chain of the House of Cernus".	10
4	228	On the other hand it would be done presumably in the House of Cernus.	10
4	229	Further, such training, though spread over a period of months, normally consumes only about five of the Gorean hours daily, that the girls have time to rest, to absorb their lessons, to recreate themselves in the pools and gardens of the house.	10
4	230	During this time, since Elizabeth was nominally of the staff of Caprus, we could surely find time to be about our work, for which purpose we had arranged to enter the House of Cernus.	10
5	1	In the House of Cernus Kneeling back on her heels in my quarters, in the traditional fashion of Gorean women, Elizabeth laughed merrily and slapped her knees, so pleased was she.	10
5	31	The door to my compartment, however, in the House of Cernus, did not have a lock.	10
5	35	Such a demand might seem importunate or to evince a concern for secrecy not in place in a house where I, supposedly, had taken gold for the use of my steel.	10
5	138	The allusion was to certain practices having to do with the merchandising of Red Silk Girls, in private sales for individual and important clients of the House.	10
5	139	At certain times of the year several such booths are set up within the courtyard of a slaver's house; in each, unclothed, chained by the left ankle to a ring, on furs, is a choice Red Silk Girl; prospective buyers, usually accompanied by a member of the Caste of Physicians, in the presence of the sl...	10
5	451	"The House of Cernus in Ar," said Misk.	10
5	454	"We have an agent in that house," said Misk, "a Scribe, the chief accountant, whose name is Caprus".	10
5	457	"Then," I said, "you will need another in the House".	10
5	496	"It will be arranged," said he, "that you will be placed as a slave in the House of Cernus, as a member of the staff of Caprus.	10
5	499	"I shall follow her," I said, "probably as a mercenary tarnsman, and attempt to take service with the House of Cernus".	10
5	614	We estimated that she would surely be in the House of Clark by the Third Passage Hand, which precedes the month of En'Var.	10
5	615	If all went well, we expected she would be in Ar, and perhaps in the House of Cernus, by the end of En'Var.	10
5	616	It is true that if she, with other girls, were shipped by wagon to Ar, this schedule would not be met; but we knew that the House of Clark, in the case of select merchandise, under which category Elizabeth surely fell, transported slaves by tarn caravan to the markets of Ar, usually binding them in ...	10
5	617	I had decided to wait until the Fourth Passage Hand, that following En'Var, and then take tarn for Ar, where I would pose as a mercenary tarnsman seeking employment in the House of Cernus, but when the Warrior from Thentis, who resembled me, was slain early in En'Var, I decided to go to Ar in the gu...	10
5	638	Also, as she was, legally, having submitted in the House of Cernus, a slave girl, any small thing she had or could do which was her own was doubtless rather precious to her.	10
5	697	"When you returned to the House of Cernus," I asked, "and told the Keeper what had theoretically happened to you, as I instructed you, what happened?" Elizabeth smiled.	10
5	735	About his neck he wore a rude ornament, a loose iron chain bearing, also in iron, a medallion, the crest of the House of Cernus.	10
5	763	There is method in the house of a slaver.	10
6	7	He scarcely glanced up from the game board at which he sat across from Caprus, of the Caste of Scribes, Chief Accountant of the House.	10
6	23	There was a shout from the men-at-arms and members of the House who sat at the tables as the second slave, he who had scored the first point, managed to leave a long streak of blue down the inside of the right arm of the first slave.	10
6	26	I heard the odds changing rapidly at the tables as the men of the house of Cernus revised their betting.	10
6	41	The food at the table of Cernus was good, but it was plain, rather severe, like the master of the House.	10
6	49	Following the meal, I understood, in the House of Cernus, is a time for the pleasure and recreation of the men.	10
6	78	In a large house, with various slave girls, it is thought only an act of courtesy on the part of a host to permit a guest the use of one of the girls for the evening.	10
6	96	She had been quite angry, kneeling there bound hand and foot, fastened to the slave ring by chain and collar, while I trotted off to have dinner with the master of the house.	10
7	7	I did so, and we climbed a long spiral staircase until we came to the roof of the House of Cernus.	10
7	8	Though doubtless Ho-Tu was well known to the guards at the tarncot, he nonetheless showed them a small, flat rectangle of glazed clay, white in color, marked with the sign of the House of Cernus.	10
7	10	Some were tarnsmen, others members of the House.	10
7	14	"It is not necessary," I said, "it is well known the House of Cernus is generous".	10
7	24	"You are master of the house," I said.	10
7	25	"You will see," said Cernus, "that the house of Cernus is indeed generous, and more generous than you have thought to dream.	10
7	26	You will come with us this night and for the first time you will understand how great indeed is my house.	10
7	97	"The power of the House of Cernus is great indeed," I said, "greater than I had dreamed".	10
7	102	Almost immediately the first man, he who wore the tiny Thief's brand, returned to the panel and crouching down, held out a small, obviously heavy box, to Cernus, who, in spite of the fact that he was the master of the House of Cernus itself, took it in his own hands.	10
7	112	I gathered that the main cargo, whatever it was, had already been unloaded, that it reposed in the small, heavy box, and that it was now on the way to the House of Cernus.	10
7	113	"Hurry!" called the man with the Thief's scar, and those of the staff of the House, including even the tarnsmen, stood lined before the panel and received various goods which they placed in the carrying baskets.	10
7	171	Elizabeth, I had learned, who had been shipped from the House of Clark, had been transported in a covered basket, lashed shut.	10
7	186	"We return to the House of Cernus," said a man-at-arms, and I, and the others, entered our baskets or mounted our tarns.	10
8	72	"What did you learn," she asked, "of the House of Cernus last night?" "I will tell you," I said, coming close to her and sitting down cross-legged.	10
8	79	She was generally intrigued, though frightened when I spoke of the thing called the beast, and distressed when I mentioned the girls brought from Earth, to be sold as slaves from the House of Cernus.	10
8	81	"It is to learn more of the House of Cernus," I said.	10
8	82	"Do you know much of the House?" "I know certain areas quite well," she said.	10
8	83	"Further, I can receive a pass tile from Caprus to go most places in the house".	10
8	86	"First," she said, "learn what areas of the House are open.	10
8	90	That way you would be familiarized with the House and would also, indirectly, have the forbidden areas clearly marked out for you".	10
8	150	"He holds me to no close schedule, and lets me leave the house when I wish.	10
9	4	The House of Cernus was more than thirty generations old.	10
9	15	I suspected that the House of Cernus was attempting to create a need for barbarian girls, if only to add variety to a rich man's Pleasure Gardens—girls of a sort it seemed it could supply in numbers not possible to competing slavers.	10
9	19	The only difference between these facilities in the House of Cernus and such facilities in other houses would probably have been in size, numbers of staff and lavishment of appointment.	10
9	20	I have already mentioned the baths in the House of Cernus, which can rival some of the pools in the gigantic Capacian Baths, the finest of known Gor.	10
9	25	The major auction house, the Curulean, contains the great block.	10
9	33	I looked into one of the private salesrooms in the House of Cernus.	10
9	52	The common thread in these various matters was that the House of Cernus was involved, either in presenting the sale or in sponsoring the races or games.	10
9	136	"Is there more to the House of Cernus?" I asked, turning away.	10
10	11	It might have been the private compartment of a lady of High Caste save that, of course, in this house it was a cell.	10
10	17	"Then," said Ho-Tu, "they are strangled in the chain which bears the crest of the House of Cernus".	10
10	25	"You do not seem much pleased with the House of Cernus," observed Ho-Tu.	10
10	29	"Most of the House you have seen," said he, "with the exception of training areas, the iron pens, the processing rooms, and such".	10
10	49	"Or perhaps even by En'Kara?" "Should the experiment be successful," I said, "it seems the House of Cernus will have the largest supply of such girls".	10
10	62	Sometimes they are even permitted, under guard, to leave the house, that they may be stimulated and pleased by the sights of Ar".	10
10	130	"Fear of the beast keeps good order in the House of Cernus," said Ho-Tu.	10
11	6	The expression "The Iron Pens," incidentally, generally refers to all of the subterranean retention facilities in the house of a slaver, not simply cages, but pits, steel drums, wall chains and such; it is the name of an area, on the whole, rather than a literal description of the nature of the only...	10
11	7	The expression "kennels" is sometimes used similarly, but more often it refers to a kind of small, cement cell, customarily about three feet by three feet by four feet, with an iron gate, which can be raised and lowered; similar cells, but entirely of bars, are also common, and are to be found in th...	10
11	115	We have men of their world in the House and men of our world on their planet".	10
11	396	"If there is a demand for such girls," said Flaminius, "our house will profit handsomely indeed".	10
12	63	When I had left the House of Cernus I had removed the livery of the black caste and had washed the sign of the dagger from my forehead.	10
12	156	The White Silk Girls, of course, having been released from the house, would have been placed in locked, iron belts.	10
12	157	The girls were neither of the House of Cernus nor of Portus, but of one of the several lesser houses on the Street of Brands.	10
12	163	It was my intention to relax at the Capacian Baths, have a leisurely supper at some paga tavern and then return to the House of Cernus.	10
12	165	By the time I returned to the House of Cernus Elizabeth would have finished her slave porridge and be in the compartment, and I would hear about her day, and she would hear about mine, or most of it.	10
12	166	When she was permitted, later in her training, to leave the house more often, I was eager to take her to the races and the baths, though perhaps not to the Pool of Blue Flowers.	10
12	186	Flaminius, apparently moved by their entreaties, told them he would speak to Cernus, master of the house, and to Ho-Tu, Master Keeper.	10
12	213	She wore a yellow collar, that of the House of Cernus, and yellow Pleasure Silk.	10
12	278	They could not be trained by anyone, except perhaps Tethrite of the House of Portus".	10
12	284	"Besides," said Flaminius to Ho-Tu, "even Tethrite of the House of Portus could not train such barbarians".	10
12	313	He indicated Elizabeth's yellow enameled collar, bearing the legend of the House of Cernus.	10
13	379	In a few Ehn I had left the cylinder and was returning to the House of Cernus.	10
14	1	The Prisoner When I had returned to the House of Cernus I passed the heavy, bolted door which led to the hallway off which was the luxurious cell in which Cernus was accustomed to keep his Special Captures, which cell had been shown to me earlier by Ho-Tu.	10
14	18	I think it was not so much I minded an occasional bit of silk lying on the floor as that I derived great pleasure from the fact that the lovely Miss Elizabeth Cardwell, slave in the House of Cernus, must keep my quarters.	10
14	52	"That should not be difficult," I said, "for I have free exit from the house and you, when you are working with Caprus after your training, may upon occasion leave".	10
14	56	It was thought that I, as a mercenary in the house, or Elizabeth, as a staff slave, might be able to locate and seize the documents in question.	10
14	67	He is already known to Al-Ka, who brought you to the House of Clark in Thentis".	10
14	70	"He fears there may be discovery in sending them from the House.	10
14	71	Also he fears there may be spies of Others in the Sardar itself who, if they found out about the information being sent from the House of Cernus, would investigate and, doubtless, find us".	10
14	104	I left the compartment and walked the halls of the House of Cernus, lost in thought.	10
14	106	I had, for most practical purposes, the freedom of the house.	10
14	107	I was angry and frustrated that Caprus would not surrender the results of his labors before their completion, but I could understand his reasoning, his fears; and, on the other hand, the fact that he had himself located the documents we wished and was copying them gave me great satisfaction, for it ...	10
14	113	I did not fear it, but, like Ho-Tu, I was pleased that it was doubtless safely caged; I would not have cared to meet it in the lonely halls of the House.	10
14	116	To my surprise at the door I encountered none other than Cernus, Master of the House of Cernus.	10
14	118	About his neck hung the golden medallion of the House of Cernus, the tarn with slave chains grasped in its talons.	10
14	133	"The downfall of the House of Portus," said he.	10
14	145	"Behold the downfall of the House of Portus," said Cernus.	10
14	184	"I had intended to have her used by a male slave before she leaves the house, but I shall not do so.	10
14	187	I shall, therefore, before she leaves the house, use her myself, but she will not know who it is whom she serves, for when I visit her from time to time she will be locked in a slave hood".	10
14	196	"What has all this to do with the House of Portus?" I asked.	10
14	206	"I am the property of the House of Portus".	10
14	208	"And it will be the downfall of the House of Portus".	10
15	1	Portus Comes to the House of Cernus I observed Phyllis Robertson performing the belt dance, on love furs spread between the tables, under the eyes of the Warriors of Cernus and the members of his staff.	10
15	49	Her hair was now about three inches longer than it had been when she had come to the House of Cernus.	10
15	114	Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, though she had now been gone months from the House, had been kept for better than two months in the cell for Special Captures.	10
15	138	Various members of the House might observe the training without being noted from behind this glass.	10
15	143	In the past two months, in particular, I noted two young Warriors, guards, recent additions to the staff of the House.	10
15	147	The staff, incidentally, had been increased in the last month, largely due to the increasing number of slaves being processed by the House but perhaps also, in part, in preparation for the approaching spring, which is the busiest season on the Street of Brands, for then, after the winter, slave raid...	10
15	152	Long before that time, however, I hoped, with Elizabeth and Caprus, to be free of the House.	10
15	309	It is, incidentally, one of the perquisites of employment in the house of a slaver that a member of the guard or staff may ask for, and generally receive, the use of whatever Red Silk Girls he pleases.	10
15	310	Elizabeth had not been bothered in this particular because she was, by general recognition, solely mine while I remained in the house.	10
15	346	For example, the Pleasure Slave, if she is trained by a good house, must also be the master of those duties commonly assigned to Tower Slaves.	10
15	353	One thing that I thought was nice was that Elizabeth had asked Sura about the dance she had begun to perform but could not finish, when we had first come to the house of Cernus, the dance which is accompanied by the Tuchuk slave song.	10
15	365	But perhaps more importantly he had been spreading rumors throughout the city of the desirability of trained barbarians, of which he now had several in training, those who had been brought to Gor with Virginia and Phyllis, some who had been brought to the pens earlier and not sold off immediately, a...	10
15	410	It seemed incredible to me that Portus had come to the House of Cernus, for much bad blood had existed between the houses.	10
15	411	Surely to come to this place, the house of his enemy, must have been a last recourse in some fearful set of events, to throw himself on the mercies of Cernus, claiming Caste Sanctuary.	10
15	415	My house is confiscated by the state! I am nothing! I am nothing!" Cernus meditated his move, his chin on his two fists, one above the other.	10
15	432	"I do not know!" Then, piteously, Portus lifted his hands to Cernus, Master of the House of Cernus.	10
16	1	The Tarn Less than a month following the downfall of the House of Portus, Cernus had become the undisputed master of the slave trade in Ar.	10
16	2	He had purchased from the state the facilities and chattels of the House of Portus, at a comparatively small price.	10
16	7	He did not, of course, give up the House of Cernus nor any other of his widely ranging interests in Ar and beyond it.	10
16	12	Indeed, he was said to be, and I do not doubt it, first sword in the house.	10
16	19	On the first day of the Waiting Hand, the last five days of the old year, the portals of Ar, including even that of the House of Cernus, had been painted white, and in many of the low-caste homes had been sealed with pitch, not to be opened until the first day of En'Kara.	10
16	20	Almost all doors, including that of the House of Cernus, had nailed to them some branches of the Brak Bush, the leaves of which, when chewed, have a purgative effect.	10
16	23	Rations even in the House of Cernus were halved during this period.	10
16	31	Even the slaves in the iron pens in the House of Cernus received that day a small cake with oil and had their troughs filled with water mixed with paga.	10
16	32	It was also the day that, before the High Council and the Administrator, Cernus, of the House of Cernus, accepted the red of the Warrior from the hands of Saphronicus, Captain of the Taurentians.	10
16	33	The following day would begin the races and games sponsored by the House of Cernus.	10
16	34	On the first day of En'Kara much of the old year had been forgotten, but there were three who could not forget it; Portus, who lay chained in the dungeons of the Central Cylinder; Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, now free, but who had endured the shame of slavery, and would perhaps never again permit hersel...	10
16	36	But he had assured me that just recently Cernus had received a large batch of new documents and maps, which were perhaps crucial, and that the Priest-Kings would surely be angry if he did not obtain copies of them as well; moreover, he reminded me, he would refuse to let any documents leave the hous...	10
16	46	For them, it was the first time since the beginning of their training that they were permitted to leave the house.	10
16	88	There was a metallic snap and Virginia Kent, the slave girl, had been leashed by Relius, guard in the House of Cernus, Slaver of Ar.	10
16	94	Then, together, we left the House of Cernus, leading our girls.	10
16	95	Outside the House of Cernus, and around the first corner, I took the bracelets and leash from Elizabeth.	10
16	224	Now, of course, as I usually did when I was outside the house, I wore the red of the Warrior.	10
17	11	Three male house slaves stumbled by, crowned with odorous garlands woven of the Brak Bush.	10
17	25	I decided I had better return to the House of Cernus.	10
17	152	I gathered that it had not been coincidence that had brought them to the House of Cernus.	10
17	159	Meanwhile the intrigues of Cernus, of the House of Cernus, threaded their way through the days and events of the spring and summer in Ar.	10
17	162	"Cernus, of the House of Cernus," said the disguised guard, "is a Warrior".	10
17	167	"My admission to the races," said another man, a Miller, "has been paid a dozen times by the House of Cernus".	10
17	169	Some men spent the night at the walls of the house of Cernus, that they might obtain their ostrakon at dawn.	10
17	181	I turned and left when I heard the men at the table, led by the guard, lifting their cups to Cernus, of the House of Cernus.	10
17	182	"May Cernus, of the House of Cernus," said they, "become Ubar of Ar!" I saw one other man rise up when I did, and also leave the tavern.	10
17	187	"I saw Falarius leave the house," said he, "in the garb of a Leather Worker.	10
17	198	As these might be repaid from the private treasuries of the Hinrabians, he required ever larger payments, greater and greater portions of the moneys owed to his house by the Hinrabians.	10
17	214	Then, as I would have expected, within the month, there were rumors of peculation, and an accounting and investigation, theoretically to clear the name of the Hinrabian, was demanded by one of the High Council, a Physician whom I had seen upon occasion in the house.	10
17	232	Elizabeth, with Virginia and Phyllis, would be extricated from the house and carried to safety.	10
17	233	Caprus, who had become more affable, and apparently somewhat bolder, following the enthronement of Cernus, perhaps because Cernus was less often then in the House, informed me that he had made contact with an agent of Priest-Kings.	10
17	237	They would then be as naturally and neatly removed from the House as Elizabeth had originally been introduced into it.	10
17	261	* * * * Cernus, upon occasion, though Ubar of Ar, would return to sit table in his own house, where, as he had invariably done before, he would play with Caprus, losing himself in the movements of the red and yellow pieces on the large board of red and yellow squares.	10
17	263	There was much hilarity in the hall of the House of Cernus, and, though it was early in the evening, paga and full-strength Ka-la-na were flowing.	10
17	277	"I would be served!" Virginia Kent, with her pitcher of Ka-la-na, ran light-footedly to Relius, guard in the House of Cernus.	10
17	400	I saw that even Cernus had now looked up from his board and was roaring with laughter, the first time I had ever seen such amusement in the person of the Master of the House of Cernus.	10
17	413	Revel filled the hall of the House of Cernus.	10
17	429	"It is easier than rounding them up all over the House," she pointed out.	10
17	466	You must make a good showing for the House of Cernus".	10
17	470	"Tomorrow, White Silker," she said, "you will be sold but Lana will still be in the House of Cernus".	10
17	472	"If Lana is permitted to leave the House tomorrow," she wheedled the guard, "Lana wants to wear the leash of Relius".	10
17	476	"Lana," said Ho-Tu, "you will indeed leave the House tomorrow".	10
17	496	"To the Waiting Cells!" Virginia Kent, who had taught classics and ancient history in a college on Earth, leaped to her feet and, barefoot, a slave girl, raced from the room, hurrying to the Waiting Cells, whence at dawn, with others, she would be sent to the Curulean, where, in the evening, she wou...	10
17	527	It was merely another of the turnabouts of Kajuralia, but in it was perhaps more; Sura's pride and her position in the House, though she was slave, had been resented by many of the men and staff; perhaps even Cernus felt she had overstepped herself; surely he seemed pleased that she would now be hum...	10
17	571	Sura preceded me through the halls of the House of Cernus, and then we passed through her training room, and entered her own quarters where we stopped.	10
17	583	Her black hair was quite marvelous, long and unbound, falling as it did over her shoulders; her eyes were dark and deeply beautiful; her body, as the slave masters had intended, was tormentingly magnificent; the features of her face and lips showed to my eye, which had become more discerning in the ...	10
17	693	When the father of Cernus was poisoned and Cernus, then the lesser, placed upon his neck the medallion of the House, Ho-Tu protested.	10
17	695	He has remained in the house these many years".	10
17	697	"Perhaps," she said, "because it is in this house that Sura is slave".	10
17	702	"Further, I am confident that the men of the house will expect me to remain some time here".	10
17	814	"The Master Keeper in the House of Cernus?" I asked, smiling.	10
17	821	"That is since the beast came to the house," she said, looking down.	10
17	843	"Ho-Tu," I observed, "seldom leaves the house".	10
17	846	"In last year's En'Var," she said, "when he was gone from the city on the business of the house".	10
18	130	Even from the Physician's quarters we could hear, at various points in the House, the laughing and sporting of drunken slaves in their cells, drunken guards running down one hall or another playing jokes on each other.	10
18	234	"I left the Cylinder of Physicians and the next day took service in the House of Cernus, where I have been for many years.	10
18	242	That is why this is a good house for me".	10
18	257	* * * * I wandered about the house.	10
18	297	* * * * I continued to wander about the House, here and there bumping into inebriated guards or staff members, who would invariably hail me with "Kajuralia!" to which greeting I would respond in turn.	10
18	302	But as I walked the halls it seemed to me that, on the whole, things were not proceeding badly, though I regretted the amount of time lost, apparently necessarily, in the House of Cernus.	10
18	311	Caprus who seldom left the house.	10
18	456	"It was before I came to the House of Cernus," I said, my voice trembling.	10
18	466	Standing in the doorway, four guards armed with crossbows with him, stood Cernus, of the House of Cernus.	10
18	493	His resemblance to a certain Koroban Warrior, perhaps Tarl Cabot, would make it seem clear, in the darkness of the night, that the knife had been intended for that Warrior, and a convenient clue, a patch of green, would lead to Ar, and doubtless then to the House of Cernus".	10
18	496	"He was sent to Ko-ro-ba only to be slain, that you would be lured to this house, where in effect you have been my prisoner for more than a year".	10
18	507	"And so we arranged to have you arrive in our house, the trusted spy and agent of Priest-Kings, who would thus think themselves moving secretly and intelligently against us.	10
18	538	"Do you not wish to see the little beauty presenting herself on the block? I expect she, with the others, will bring much gold to the House of Cernus, which we may then invest in our cause".	10
19	15	In the House of Cernus, however, to all, he had been known simply as Caprus, having been introduced to the staff and guards in this fashion by Cernus.	10
19	42	Some girls, whom the House had determined late would be sold, arrive at the Curulean with a small leather cylinder tied about their collar, which contains their papers, which girl is then, by the staff of the Curulean, assigned a lot number.	10
19	43	Lana, whom Ho-Tu, who held considerable power in the House of Cernus, had decided to sell at the Love Feast, so arrived at the Curulean.	10
19	47	The girls, when brought to the Curulean, are braceleted and naked; they have been chained in slave wagons; they are brought to a large, heavy, barred gate in the rear of the large building, through which they are led; the bracelets are, of course, to secure them; the lack of clothing is simply to sa...	10
19	77	I saw no merchandise in my passage through the rear halls of the Curulean; the girls are generally kept, prior to their sale, in holding cells, lit by energy bulbs, beneath the ground level; soon, however, I was passing by the exposition cages, which are accessible to the public; these cages were no...	10
19	80	Philemon, I and the guards emerged from the exposition area to the interior of the sales amphitheater; the entire house was now lit by energy bulbs; later, the block alone would be illuminated; the seats rose in tier after tier, largely circling the block, though a passage lay open behind the block;...	10
19	162	Some of the girls, as the sales progressed, I recognized as from the House of Cernus.	10
19	169	I supposed the auctioneer had received his instructions from the House of Cernus.	10
19	204	They screamed imprecations on the auctioneer, on the Curulean, even some of the braver ones, anonymous in the pressing throng, on the House of Cernus itself.	10
19	222	"These are three barbarians, two White Silk, one Red Silk," called the auctioneer, "all from the House of Cernus, whom it is our hope you will find pleasing".	10
19	258	I knew that, in effect, this was a performance, each detail planned expertly, choreographed and rehearsed in the House of Cernus.	10
19	332	Almost instantly, by the whip slaves, the three barbarian beauties from the House of Cernus were revealed to the buyers of Ar.	10
19	475	"Before she is delivered to Samos," Cernus was saying, "I think I will have her returned to the house and use her.	10
20	27	The Slaver who had been chief competitor to the House of Cernus was brought forward, doubtless from the dungeons of the Central Cylinder of Ar, on order of its Ubar, Cernus, once of the Merchants, now of the Caste of the Warriors.	10
20	42	The only body not recovered had been that of Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, who had been originally the unfortunate victim of the intrigues of Cernus, the means whereby was brought about the downfall of the house of Portus.	10
20	55	"I was brought hooded to your house".	10
20	88	"I have been in misery," she wept, "since I was stolen by the men of the house of Portus and enslaved".	10
20	97	"But the House of Portus—" she said.	10
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.	10
20	227	I myself thought it was perhaps well that Cernus, doubtless by design, had sent Ho-Tu from the house.	10
20	228	Surely I would not have expected the powerful Ho-Tu to stand by while Sura, whom he loved, was so treated, even by the Master of the House of Cernus.	10
20	230	I was, as I suggested, just as well satisfied that Ho-Tu was not now in the house.	10
20	258	"Qualius the Player," called Cernus, "you are once again in the House of Cernus, who is now Ubar of Ar".	10
20	329	"If you do not play," Cernus said, not pleasantly, "you will not leave this house alive".	10
20	349	"Further, let no word of this shame be spoken outside this house".	10
20	417	His features were those of Sura, though with the heaviness of the masculine countenance, the bred slave lines of the House of Cernus.	10
21	2	"Murmillius is apparently victorious again," said Vancius of the House of Cernus, lifting a blind helmet and fitting it over my head.	10
21	146	Ho-Tu wore the garb of one of the guards of the House of Cernus.	10
21	330	"But Ho-Tu, of his house, did not care for the plan".	10
22	124	Some seventy or eighty yards away I saw the box of the Ubar and, upon the throne of the Ubar, Cernus, of the House of Cernus, in the imperial purple of the Ubar.	10
22	618	I had business remaining in the house of Cernus, once Ubar of Ar.	10
23	1	I Finish My Business in the House of Cernus I waited in the hall of Cernus, on his own great chair.	10
23	3	I had had little difficulty in arriving at his House before him.	10
23	5	My eyes had not permitted any to dispute my passage, and, indeed, the halls of his house were now largely empty.	10
23	6	Word had apparently reached the House of the doings at the Stadium of Blades before it had come to the Stadium of Tarns, much farther away.	10
23	20	Surely Flaminius, drunk, might still be in the house.	10
23	24	"Kuurus," she said, calling me by the name by which she had known me in the house.	10
23	65	I could hear shouting outside in the streets but, because of the thick walls of the House of Cernus, it seemed distant.	10
23	114	"Do not strike me!" "But," I laughed, "you are first sword of the House of Cernus.	10
23	148	He tore his robe from his body and wore only the belted house tunic; the left shoulder was soaked with blood.	10
23	264	I returned to my own chambers in the House of Cernus.	10
24	167	The Ubar gave him pardon for his actions on behalf of the House of Cernus, and he requested permission to remain within the city.	10
24	174	"Here are the most choice of the female slaves of the House of Cernus," said Marlenus, expansively gesturing to the two or three hundred girls.	10
24	226	I remember among this business arose the matter of more than one hundred exotic slaves from the House of Cernus, the white-robed girls who had been raised without the knowledge of the existence of men.	10
