1	174	It was an instant's action to hurl them from me, and I gazed, bewildered, awe-stricken, at what seemed to be a furious blue combustion that lit the pines on all sides as if with acetylene flames.	10
2	16	There was a savage dignity about it, with the shield and spears, all of them stable on the wall, as if ready, like the famous colonial rifle over the fireplace, for instant use; they were all polished and gleamed dully in the half light.	10
4	5	In that instant I switched the tarn-goad to the "on" position, and when the great beak flashed downward again, I struck it viciously, trying to force it away from me.	10
4	45	"Agreed!" he shouted, wheeling his tarn in the instant he spoke, and turning him to the city.	10
5	156	They apparently had no intention of taking me prisoner, for an instant after the shout the sharp hiss of a bolt from a crossbow passed over my head.	10
5	176	I crossed swords with the nearer of the two warriors in a brief passage that could have lasted only an instant.	10
6	37	In an instant I had attained the saddle of the tarn and drew back savagely on the one-strap.	10
6	62	In the sickening instant of falling I realized I had not fastened my own saddle belt in the wild flight from the roof of the Ubar's cylinder.	10
6	133	In that instant I recognized the heavy brocaded robes, now mud-splattered and torn, of the daughter of the Ubar.	10
6	139	In an instant I had splashed into the marsh at the foot of the tree and raced toward the tharlarion, my sword raised.	10
6	145	In an instant the mouth had snapped for me, and I had left the mark of my blade deep in the teeth ridges of its lower jaw.	10
7	62	Then she angrily snapped, "You need not have made me say that!" She had lifted her head in fury, and she looked up into my eyes for an instant, and then suddenly lowered her head again, trembling with rage.	10
7	162	"You dirty, filthy, stinking, ungrateful animal!" Wild with anger, I picked up the dagger and for an instant felt tempted to plunge it into the heart of the treacherous girl.	10
9	143	The warrior's face clouded, but only for an instant.	10
11	88	She seemed to hesitate for an instant, then quickly gathered up the slave whip and a leading chain.	10
12	83	Savagely those vast talons struck and closed on my body, forcing the frame for an instant beneath the water, then the tarn was beating the air angrily with his wings, struggling to lift his prey, and suddenly both myself and the heavy frame were pulled free from the water.	10
12	100	Then he attacked again, and my bird swerved again, but the attacking tarn had allowed for the maneuver, compensating for it an instant before my own bird turned, with the result that it met my bird in full collision.	10
12	101	I was conscious in that mad, terrible instant of the flash of steel-shod talons at the breast of my bird, and then my bird shook as though seized with a convulsion and opened his talons.	10
12	103	In that wild instant I saw my bird beginning to fall, flopping downward, and saw his attacker wheeling in my direction.	10
12	137	He had died the instant the spear had entered his heart.	10
13	16	Perhaps the men of the mysterious camp heard the beating of the tarn's wings, perhaps I had been outlined for an instant against one of Gor's three circling moons, but suddenly the fires disappeared, kicked apart in a flash of sparks, and the glowing embers were smothered almost immediately.	10
13	23	When the larl hunts alone, it hunts silently, never uttering a sound until the sudden roar that momentarily precedes its charge, the roar calculated to terrify the quarry into a fatal instant of immobility.	10
13	48	For an instant I could not move, literally.	10
13	51	Then, as swiftly as it had come, that nightmarish instant of immobility passed and I set my spear to take the jolt of the larl's attack.	10
13	52	Perhaps my sudden appearance had disoriented the beast or shaken its marvelous instincts, because it must have uttered its killing cry an instant too soon, or perhaps my muscles and nerves responded to my will more rapidly than it had anticipated.	10
14	89	One tarnsman leveled a crossbow, and in that instant I hurled the lance and he toppled backward, the shaft of the weapon protruding from his chest, the bolt from his crossbow ricocheting from the rock above my head with a flash of sparks.	10
14	96	I choked, and shook my head to clear the blood from my eyes, and in that instant was seized by three or four of the Ubar's tarnsmen.	10
15	51	I tossed a silver tarn disk to the tarn keeper and ordered him to care for the bird, to groom and feed it and see that it was ready on an instant's notice.	10
15	127	A brief, crafty light flickered momentarily in Mintar's small eyes, and his pudgy hand hovered, hesitating an instant, over one of the pieces of the hundred-squared board, a centered Tarnsman.	10
18	137	In that instant a great black shape hurtled into the fray, and the tarn had met his match.	10
19	75	In an instant they would join the battle raging in the streets.	10
19	112	But in that instant he seemed to be concealed in a bluish haze, and then, suddenly, to the horror of all, he seemed, like a living bomb, to explode with fire.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
14	153	For an instant, perhaps an unworthy instant, I feared the bird would immediately take to the skies, but though the metal was shaken from its leg, though it was free, though the spearmen advanced, it did not move.	10
1	41	In an instant he released me, apologizing profusely even before recognizing me.	10
1	45	I knew that I had been an instant from death.	10
1	105	And in that sudden instant of startled, awe-struck silence, I heard him clearly, intensely, repeat in a hoarse whisper that strange phrase, "Ta-Sardar-Gor!" The bartender, a heavy, soft-faced man, waddled to the table.	10
4	25	In that instant every sense was alert.	10
4	67	The blinding fury of the lightning like a whip of electricity struck again and again into the hills dazzling me for an instant of crashing agony, then vanishing again into the darkness.	10
4	69	For an instant it seemed to stand like a gigantic crooked spear poised in my path, luminous, uncanny, forbidding, then vanished.	10
7	10	The officer had been an instant too late.	10
11	105	He did not take his eyes from the Tatrix, wanting to strike at the first instant she permitted the blow.	10
14	152	"The bird is chained! Attack! Kill them both!" In that instant the bolt gave, and the nut spun from the shaft! The tarn, as if it understood it was free, shook the hated metal from its leg and lifted its beak to the skies and uttered such a cry as must have been heard by all in Tharna, a cry seldom ...	10
14	206	In one instant that must have been the most terrifying in her life, the Tatrix stood alone, looking up, deserted by all, on the steps before her golden throne in the midst of tumbled cushions and trays of candies and sweetmeats.	10
14	212	And so for an instant stood the tarn, its head and beak extended, its wings snapping, its prey locked in its grasp, and uttered the terrifying capture scream of the tarn, at once a scream of victory, and of challenge.	10
15	36	How frightful for her must have been those minutes of flight, grasped in the talons, hundreds of feet above the plains of Tharna, not knowing if she might be dropped at any instant, or carried to some ledge to be ripped to pieces by that monstrous beak, those hideous steel-shod talons.	10
16	80	Thorn and the warriors were startled, and in this instant I leapt between their weapons, seized Thorn and a warrior, dashed them together, and threw them both, weapons clattering, to the marble flooring of the pillar.	10
25	2	Both of us cast our spears at the same instant and the two weapons passed one another like tawny blurs of lightning.	10
25	8	Only an instant after myself Thorn's shield too was flung to the stones of the chamber floor.	10
25	84	An instant before I knew the blade must fall I released my grip on the animal's neck and slipped under its belly.	10

27	191	At that instant I kicked loose the grille on the ventilator shaft and uttering the war cry of Ko-ro-ba sprang to the Platform of the Mother and in another instant had leaped between Sarm and Misk, my sword drawn.	10
2	131	At last I came to the bend in the path and braced myself for the sudden bolt about that corner in which I must cry aloud to startle them and in the same instant cast my spear at the nearest larl and set upon the other with my drawn sword.	10
3	1	Parp There was a sudden startled rattle of chains and I saw two huge, white larls frozen in the momentary paralysis of registering my presence, and then with but an instant's fleeting passage both beasts turned upon me and hurled themselves enraged to the lengths of their chains.	10
3	13	Only an instant later did I understand what was happening, for, suddenly turning, he threw himself on his side and, his head facing in the other direction, hurled his hind legs at me.	10
3	62	When I started a momentary flicker of annoyance crossed his features, but in an instant he was again his chuckling, affable, bubbling self.	10
4	38	For an instant it seemed to point at me.	10
4	132	Then it seemed in the impending darkness in the Hall of Priest-Kings as he looked down on me that the pupils of his eyes for an instant glowed briefly, fiercely, like two tiny fiery disks of molten copper.	10
6	151	And then came the third and final stroke of that distant gong and at the same instant the energy bulbs in the room dimmed and I understood that now somewhere in the long corridors of that vast edifice there walked the Priest-Kings of Gor.	10
12	180	In the same instant I leaped toward them, taking them by surprise and compounding the momentum of my blow.	10
12	185	Had it been combat to the death in that brief instant I would have finished him, leaping over him and gouging my heels into his stomach, rupturing the diaphragm.	10
14	9	For an instant I had considered scrambling out of their reach but then I had sensed that there would be no escape in the smooth, closed, carefully prepared room in which I found myself.	10
21	11	My eyes drifted upward and I froze for an instant and then, scarcely moving, touched Mul-Ba-Ta's arm.	10
24	1	The Golden Beetle At that instant I heard a slight noise and looked up to see peering at me from the darkness of one of the tunnels leading from the cavern, two flaming, luminous eyes.	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 ...	10
27	170	Then, with a force that might have been that of clashing, golden glaciers, Misk's jaws tightened and turned and suddenly Sarm was thrown to his back beneath him and in the instant Sarm struck the floor Misk's jaws had slipped their grip to the thick tube about which hung the string of Tola's silveri...	10
27	171	In that instant I saw the bladelike projections disappear from the tips of Sarm's forelegs and he folded his forelegs against his body and ceased resistance, even lifting his head in order to further expose the crucial tube that linked thorax with head.	10
27	256	I hardly saw it coming but an instant before its flight began I had seen the tremor of a fiber in his shoulder and I knew the signal for its strike had been transmitted.	10
27	260	In an instant I was again on guard, my vision cleared, but I saw that Sarm was now some fifteen yards or more away and was slowly turning and turning in what must have been some primitive, involuntary dance of agony.	10
28	16	And yet there was not an instant's pause in that singing nor the dropping of a beat or tempo.	10
29	84	In an instant I would be within the firing radius of the disrupter cone.	10
29	108	I flashed my ship to the ground only an instant before the entire ship above me seemed to explode silently in a storm of metallic dust glinting in the light of the energy bulbs above.	10
31	30	It took Sarm but an instant to realize he had been tricked and he hurled the box from him and it shattered on the tiles of the plaza.	10
34	13	But in that instant my joy was gone, for my father's face became grave.	10
34	145	Though I had met them only for a moment in the shadow of the Sardar, we had renewed our affection and comradeship, one to the other, in the timeless instant of friendship.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	5	At the last instant, the lances of four riders but a hand's breadth from my body, the enraged, thundering kaiila, hissing and squealing, at a touch of the control straps, arrested their fierce charge, stopping themselves, tearing into the deep turf with suddenly emergent claws.	10
3	6	Not a rider was thrown or seemed for an instant off balance.	10
3	133	And it was in that instant that I sensed what the bosk might mean to the Wagon Peoples.	10
4	1	The Outcome of Spear Gambling The Tuchuk warrior lifted the lance in triumph, in the same instant slipping his fist into the retention knot and kicking the roweled heels of his boots into the silken flanks of his mount, the animal springing towards me and the rider in the same movement, as if one wi...	10
7	120	She would show him a woman indeed—allowing herself for the instant to be insolently and fully female—showing him in her walk her contempt and scorn for him.	10
8	63	There was a thunder of kaiila paws on the worn turf and Conrad, with his red lance, nipped the tospit neatly from the tip of the wand, the lance point barely passing into it, he having drawn back at the last instant.	10
8	318	She must have been counting to herself because only an instant or so after Conrad had spurred after her she looked over her shoulder, seeing him approaching.	10
8	321	Indeed she did, but in an instant I saw the leather flash of the bola, with its vicious, beautiful almost ten-foot sweep, streak toward the girl's ankles, and I saw her fall.	10
8	362	She had misjudged the heartbeat or had not understood the swiftness of the kaiila, never having before observed it from the unenviable point of view of a quarry, because when she turned to see if her hunter had left the vicinity of the circle, he was upon her and as she cried out the bola struck her...	10
8	489	I heard her startled cry as the weighted leather straps flashed about her thighs, calves and ankles, in an instant lashing them together as tightly as though by binding fiber.	10
8	492	Her hands were out, trying instinctively to maintain her balance; the bola weights were still snapping about her ankles in tiny, angry circles; in an instant she would fall to the grass; racing past I seized her by the hair and threw her over the saddle; scarcely did she comprehend what was happenin...	10
8	593	In an instant he had passed her, the tospit riding the lance tip.	10
9	416	There was a firm snap of the heavy lock in the back of the collar and the throat of Aphris of Turia had been encircled with slave steel! At the same instant Kamchak lifted her startled to her feet and turned her to face him, with both hands tearing the veil from her face! Then, before any of the sta...	10
9	445	For an instant I saw Kamchak's eyes gleam and thought he might at the very table at which he stood accept the challenge of the Champion of Turia, but instead, he shrugged and grinned.	10
10	342	I thought I saw her tremble for just an instant, realizing herself secured, but then she stood quietly, looking about herself as though bored.	10
10	387	It seemed then Aphris of Turia leaned back for an instant in exhausted relief against the stake.	10
10	544	Kamchak turned to see what I had in mind and to his great good fortune, as he did so, the sun flashed from the blade into the eyes of Kamras, who suddenly threw his arm up, blinking and shaking his head, for the instant blinded.	10
10	551	Kamras lunged and it looked like Kamchak threw up his arm at the last instant as though he had lost balance, and indeed he was now tottering on one boot.	10
10	562	Each time the Turian struck and I would have thought Kamchak slain, somehow, incomprehensibly, at the last instant, nearly causing my heart to stop, with a surprised, weary little twitch, the blade of the Tuchuk would slide the Turian steel harmlessly to the side.	10
10	563	It was only about this time that it dawned on me that for three or four minutes Kamchak had been the object of the ever-more-furious assault of Turia's champion and was, to this instant, unscratched.	10
11	70	"You understand, of course," continued Saphrar, "that at the instant you became slave all your properties and riches, your wardrobes and jewels, your investments and assets, chattels and lands, became mine".	10
14	35	I rode at Kamchak's side and in an instant it seemed we had passed through the bellowing, startled herd and had emerged on the plain beyond.	10
14	47	In an instant we were hurtling through ranks of men back toward the camp.	10
18	1	The Pleasure Gardens At the very instant that Saphrar had called out there was a great blast of steam and fumes that seemed to explode from the fluid about me as though the monster in which I found myself had now, its prey satisfactorily entrapped, dared to respire and, at the same time, I felt the...	10
19	117	After an instant she realized that she could not, that she had been bound by a warrior.	10
20	130	Any instant I expected it to pick Harold from the roof with its beak, bite him in two and eat the pieces.	10
21	301	In an instant the position of the man I had felled was filled by yet another guardsman.	10
21	315	In an instant another five and then another and another had repeated this maneuver and soon, sometimes with squealing of kaiila and dismounting of riders as one beast or another would be crowded between the gates and the others, a Hundred and then another Hundred had hurtled howling into the city, b...	10
23	68	In an instant we were embroiled among angry men—the half-formed, disorganized Hundreds of the Paravaci—striking to the left and right, shouting the war cry of the Tuchuks.	10
23	158	"To your animals!" And in an instant it seemed the wagon lashings had been cut by quivas and our hundreds of warriors, the pitiful remnant of our two Thousands, swept forth upon the Paravaci, riding as though they had been fresh rested and ready, shouting the wild war cry of the Tuchuks.	10
25	242	"If you wished," she pointed out, "I could in an instant be returned to slave steel—simply be re-enslaved—and would then again be yours to do with precisely as you pleased".	10
25	618	I saw the place on her thigh where not many days before the fiery iron had been so cruelly pressed, leaving behind it, smoking for the instant, deep and clean, the tiny mark of the four bosk horns.	10
25	661	She recovered her poise in an instant.	10
25	707	One may in an instant show a woman who is master, but I did not wish, though I was tempted, to do so.	10
26	205	My heart stopped for the instant.	10
28	68	"Good fortune attend you, Tarl Cabot, Commander of a Thousand Tuchuks, Warrior of Ko-ro-ba!" I lifted my hand to them and then drew on the one-strap and the wings of the great tarn began to strike the resistant air and the Tuchuks on all sides fell back stumbling in the dust and the driven wind smot...	10

3	203	"Aii!" I cried, though the outburst was scarcely in keeping with the somber black I wore, and an instant later the Tarn Keeper and the Saddle Maker cried out, and began to stamp their feet in the dust, and pound their fists against their left shoulders.	10
5	174	For an instant it seemed as though the great creature could not stand, as though he might fall; then, as though by an act of will, moving inch by inch through his body, he straightened himself.	10
5	506	In an instant we were surrounded by Warriors on tarnback, the guard, and I raised my hand in the sign of the city, and drew on the four-strap, taking the tarn down.	10
12	130	The judge's bar rang once and there was a cry from the crowd and all leaped to their feet as, with a flurry of beating wings, almost at the instant the white cord was whipped away from in front of them, the tarns took flight.	10
13	307	With a tap on the two-strap I took the bird in a sudden breathtaking sweep to the high right and in an instant had joined Mip in flight.	10
15	60	Then, after this instant of silence under the torches, the music struck the final note, with a mighty and jarring clash of cymbals, and the Warrior had lowered her to the furs and her lips, arms about his neck, sought his with eagerness.	10
15	69	She stood there for an instant, the pastry clutched in her hands, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears, then she turned and fled from the room.	10
15	289	Phyllis leaped upon her and in an instant the two girls were rolling and scratching on the stones, screaming at one another.	10
16	109	In an instant her bracelets had been removed.	10
16	139	A sly look came over her face and in an instant, saying "Yes, Master," she was gone.	10
17	39	Two girls had even, behind me, darted unseen to my ankles, and in an instant had looped and drawn tight ropes on them.	10
17	153	After each race Mip, in detail, would discuss my riding, making suggestions; before each race, he would explain to me what he knew of the habits of the riders and tarns I faced, which was almost invariably a great deal; he taught me to recognize for myself certain faults in other riders, certain exp...	10
18	2	In the same instant the hurled knife struck a chest behind us and I had rolled over throwing my legs under me, trying to draw the sword from my sheath, when Ho-Tu, running, hook knife in hand, leaped upon me, the curved blade streaking for my throat; I threw my left hand between the knife and my thr...	10
18	16	For an instant the face of Ho-Tu seemed in agony, and then he turned again to me.	10
19	354	Four dances the girls danced while the crowd screamed and roared, and then, at an instant, their dances ended, they stood suddenly motionless, splendid, animal, magnificent, inciting.	10
20	368	"It is he!" And in that instant the recognition came to me so suddenly and powerfully that the room seemed black for a moment and I could not breathe.	10
21	364	I turned in an instant's respite from the attack.	10
21	411	In an instant I was racing up the long tiers.	10
22	502	My tarn was locked, talon to talon, with a nonfaction bird; each was tearing at the other; the tarn goad of the rider struck me, almost blinding me with pain; for an instant my consciousness seemed nothing but a blinding shower of yellow, fiery needles; his tarn struck for me and I beat its beak awa...	10
22	528	I whipped out the Tuchuk bow and, in the instant, found myself wheeling and fighting in the midst of more than a dozen tarnsmen, while many others, wheeling about, attempted to press in upon me.	10
22	533	"The race!" The tarn, to my amazement, turned from the fray in an instant and smote his way from the environing, reeling tarns and struck out again for the rings.	10
22	567	Quarrel, automatically, had struck the second perch only an instant behind us.	10
23	138	In an instant our blades had met in the swift discourse of flashing steel.	10
24	281	For the instant it seemed the world shook beneath me.	10

9	256	In the instant that our glances had met I had seen that she, whom I took as woman, would, if she had had the power, make men slaves, but in that same instant she had seen, in my eyes, that it was men who were the stronger, who held the power, and that it would be she, if any, who would be the slave.	10
6	191	For the instant we were alone.	10
8	649	In an instant, with peasant knots, Thurnock had lashed them together.	10
9	422	And she danced superbly for me, every fiber of her beautiful body straining to please me, her eyes, each instant, pleading, trying to read in mine her fate.	10
13	244	In an instant he was screaming for mercy.	10
15	385	When she went to draw her arms back to her body there was just the briefest instant in which she could not do so, and she frowned, looked annoyed, puzzled, and then was permitted to move as she wished.	10
15	389	Again a thong, this time that on her right wrist, prohibited, but only for an instant, the movement, but inches from her hair.	10
15	640	"For an instant," she said, "I thought—I thought it was the face of Surbus".	10
15	655	I howled with rage and turned about, striking the walls with my fists and then, throwing off my cloak, spun weeping to face them, in the same instant drawing my blade.	10
16	273	And there was a belonging, and a victory, and a meaningfulness, and cries, and the clashing of weapons, and tears and, in that instant, love.	10
17	389	I feared for the instant I might have broken Chenbar's back.	10
17	409	Five of my men seized its rope, and, in an instant, they were lifted away from the ship.	10
18	5	Chenbar stood facing me for an instant, his fists clenched, fury in his eyes, and then he was rudely turned about and, by two seamen, forced below decks.	10
18	195	In that instant I heard, from down a passageway, a sharp whistle, and the sound of running feet, those of several men.	10
18	618	For an instant, white-faced, wild, I saw below Lysias, with his helmet with its crest of sleen hair, and beside him, with the string of pearls of the Vosk sorp about his forehead, the rencer Henrak, who had, long ago, betrayed the rencers for the gold of Port Kar.	10

3	461	For an instant I could not swallow.	10
8	459	Men tease you, but, in an instant they may change, and their eyes may grow hard.	10
8	692	For an instant I thought they rested upon me, and saw me, but not as an animal sees, but as something might see that is not an animal.	10
8	916	Lana was but an instant behind her and she, too, fell to her hands and knees, head down.	10
8	1025	Lana, for an instant, stopped, her hands lifted over her head.	10
11	225	I felt acute pain for an instant, and then a prolonged, burning, stinging sensation.	10
13	579	I saw the sun, for a brief instant, flash from the helmet of its rider.	10
13	587	In an instant it had jerked tight, pinning my arms helplessly to my sides, and I felt my body, my back almost broken, jerked from the grass.	10
13	842	My captor attacked, giving him no instant in which to set again his bow.	10
13	883	I saw the broad blade of his sword but an inch from my face, for one terrifying instant of immobility, the other's blade, edge downward, resting on it, stopped.	10
16	43	I recalled each instant of the hours in his tent, and, later, when I had lain at his side, holding him, my cheek pressed against his thigh, my hair about his body.	10

9	421	In an instant another girl, and then another, and another had followed her example.	10
9	453	Then the dance became progressively swifter and wilder, and the feigned blows became more frequent, and then, suddenly, with a wild cry, the swirling throng about me stood for an instant stock still, and then with a cry, each spear thrust down savagely toward my heart.	10
