| 15 | 65 |
He was a short, powerful man, Kenneth, a free man, a keeper and the first groom in her stables. |
10 |
| 15 | 85 |
"Is he to be beaten further?" asked Kenneth, the keeper and groom. |
10 |
| 15 | 95 |
Then she turned to the fellow with the whip, Kenneth. |
10 |
| 15 | 103 |
"That he is," said he who wielded the whip, Kenneth, the groom. |
10 |
| 15 | 106 |
"Is he to be beaten further?" asked Kenneth. |
10 |
| 15 | 140 |
"Kenneth, Barus!" she called. |
10 |
| 15 | 149 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, who stood first among the two men. |
10 |
| 15 | 151 |
"Have you ever fought?" asked Kenneth, lifting me up, his fellow assisting him. |
10 |

The Inspection of the Stable Slaves "The stable slaves are ready for inspection, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, head keeper of the Mistress' slaves. |
10 |
| 18 | 24 |
"Stop!" It had been the voice of Kenneth, the head keeper of my mistress' slaves, the Lady Florence of Vonda. |
10 |
| 18 | 28 |
"It is Jason," had said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 31 |
"You are in the presence of the Mistress," had said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 35 |
"There is a note tied to his collar," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 41 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," had said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 44 |
Lady Florence, Kenneth and myself were alone left on the porch. |
10 |
| 18 | 45 |
Kenneth unbound my ankles and threw aside the binding fiber which had restrained them. |
10 |
| 18 | 47 |
Kenneth stood up. |
10 |
| 18 | 60 |
Kenneth was chuckling. |
10 |
| 18 | 66 |
"'My sweet friend and compatriot, Lady Florence of Vonda,'" read Kenneth, "'thank you very much for the use of your lovely silk slave, Jason. |
10 |
| 18 | 74 |
'" Kenneth then dropped the note, muchly where he had found it. |
10 |
| 18 | 83 |
"She is a woman," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 85 |
"She cannot bear that it might be found," laughed Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 116 |
"Good," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 118 |
"In the stables," said Kenneth, "authority is mine. |
10 |
| 18 | 136 |
Kenneth and Barus followed her. |
10 |
| 18 | 186 |
I saw Kenneth, behind her, grinning at me. |
10 |
| 18 | 190 |
Kenneth, who had held an earlier inspection, had been satisfied, and he was, I suspected, harder to please than would be the mistress. |
10 |
| 18 | 203 |
I saw a frown on the face of Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 206 |
Kenneth did not wish me to be torn to pieces between tharlarion, driven in opposite directions. |
10 |
| 18 | 218 |
"Slave!" snapped Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 234 |
"Is this not a new slave in the stables?" she asked Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 235 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, "but, still, he has been with us now for some five weeks". |
10 |
| 18 | 237 |
"Jason," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 239 |
"Perhaps you remember him, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 255 |
Kenneth had told me this. |
10 |
| 18 | 259 |
"He is splendid, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, warmly. |
10 |
| 18 | 263 |
"Of course, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 272 |
"When he does well, or is successful," she asked, as though merely curious, "is he rewarded?" "Yes," said Kenneth, "it is useful in the training". |
10 |
| 18 | 274 |
"An extra round of rations," said Kenneth, expansively, "some pastry upon occasion, sometimes with even a bowl of cheap wine". |
10 |
| 18 | 278 |
Kenneth had been generous. |
10 |
| 18 | 281 |
"And is he, upon occasion," asked the Lady Florence, "rewarded with things of another sort?" "Of course, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 283 |
"With meaningless little things, trivialities, baubles, things of no account or worth," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 286 |
"If Lady Florence disapproves," said Kenneth, "we shall, of course, discontinue the practice". |
10 |
| 18 | 288 |
"I do not know, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 290 |
"Of course," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 294 |
"Of course, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 300 |
"It is nothing whatsoever to me," said the Lady Florence to Kenneth, "whether this slave, a mere slave, is or is not used in the stable bouts. |
10 |
| 18 | 302 |
"Of course, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 307 |
"Does the Lady Florence wish to inspect her kajirae?" inquired Kenneth. |
10 |
| 18 | 311 |
"Which of these," she asked, "is the favorite of the fighting slave, he named Jason?" "Telitsia, this one," said Kenneth, puzzled. |
10 |
| 19 | 25 |
Kenneth and Barus, on the other hand, who bet on such matters, took these fights seriously. |
10 |
| 19 | 28 |
Indeed, Kenneth and Barus had accumulated small fortunes as a result of their efforts in this area. |
10 |
| 19 | 56 |
"Does Kenneth know you are here?" I asked. |
10 |
| 19 | 58 |
"Does Kenneth know you are here?" I asked. |
10 |
| 19 | 77 |
"Does Kenneth know you are here?" I asked. |
10 |
| 19 | 99 |
It was the voice of Kenneth, master keeper of the slaves of the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 19 | 108 |
"Telitsia!" said Kenneth, standing before the stall. |
10 |
| 19 | 111 |
"Where have you been?" said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 113 |
"Get your rag on," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 116 |
"You, Jason," said Kenneth, sternly. |
10 |
| 19 | 124 |
I did not think Kenneth truly objected to my rutting with the lovely, neck-ringed stable slut. |
10 |
| 19 | 130 |
Kenneth, it seemed, had come almost directly to the barn where I was training. |
10 |
| 19 | 131 |
Kenneth threw me some binding fiber and a leash. |
10 |
| 19 | 135 |
Too, however, it should be noted that Kenneth, permitting the bedding of the lovely slave girl at this time, had assured himself that she would be warmed for her sale. |
10 |
| 19 | 164 |
"Come along," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 166 |
* * * * "Greetings, Kenneth," said Borto, the driver of the low-bedded tharlarion wagon. |
10 |
| 19 | 168 |
"Greetings, Borto," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 172 |
"Good," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 175 |
Borto smiled, and handed Kenneth a note, from inside his tunic. |
10 |
| 19 | 176 |
Kenneth took the note and read it, frowning. |
10 |
| 19 | 178 |
"Put her in the wagon," said Kenneth, "kneeling position, leashed-legs tie". |
10 |
| 19 | 213 |
Kenneth, for example, was only too aware of this naive stratagem, and the errant girl would be whipped or shorn, or deprived of rations, or put somewhere by herself, her small limbs locked painfully in close chains. |
10 |
| 19 | 220 |
Kenneth looked at the sack move, responding to the luscious girl curves within it. |
10 |
| 19 | 221 |
"Does she not know she is not to squirm?" asked Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 224 |
"There is nothing in the note," said Kenneth, "to indicate that she is not to be a stable slut". |
10 |
| 19 | 226 |
"Barus!" called Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 228 |
"Bring a stable collar," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 230 |
"Hood her," said Kenneth to me. |
10 |
| 19 | 237 |
Why had she been sold? Kenneth threw the key to Telitsia's collar to Borto, who caught it and placed it in his pouch. |
10 |
| 19 | 239 |
"Remove her from the sack," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 242 |
Barus came to the wagon, handing Kenneth a stable collar, a light, hinged circle of iron, with an attached ring, that of the sort which is often used to loop the throats of stable sluts. |
10 |
| 19 | 249 |
"Ah!" said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 252 |
"It seems you have fallen from the Mistress' favor, Taphris," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 258 |
Kenneth, removing one of the keys from the enameled collar she wore, removed it from her, putting it, and its key, back in the wagon, to one side. |
10 |
| 19 | 263 |
Kenneth regarded her. |
10 |
| 19 | 269 |
Kenneth removed the note from his tunic, where he had placed it, and read it again, to himself, with apparent care. |
10 |
| 19 | 278 |
"It is true," said Kenneth, grimly. |
10 |
| 19 | 281 |
"Bring heavy shears," said Kenneth to Barus. |
10 |
| 19 | 290 |
Kenneth, shears in hand, stepped back and regarded Taphris. |
10 |
| 19 | 294 |
Kenneth, with the shears, cut away the sleeves of her tunic, so that her arms were bared. |
10 |
| 19 | 301 |
"And this," said Kenneth, angrily, "I do for the pleasure of my men". |
10 |
| 19 | 314 |
"Is it not time," Kenneth asked Barus, "that the hair of this Kajira was harvested?" "I think so," said Barus. |
10 |
| 19 | 317 |
"Have no fear, Slave," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 323 |
Kenneth normally did not shear the hair of his stable sluts, even in the fall. |
10 |
| 19 | 334 |
"Stand, shorn slave," said Kenneth to the girl. |
10 |
| 19 | 340 |
"Not bad," commented Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 343 |
"Not bad at all," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 348 |
"Yes," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 350 |
"I think so," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 358 |
"I wish you well," said Kenneth to him. |
10 |
| 19 | 367 |
"Turn your hip out," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 373 |
"Bend over at the waist," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 376 |
Kenneth stepped back from her. |
10 |
| 19 | 379 |
"Barus," said Kenneth, "will show you your kennel, and your duties". |
10 |
| 19 | 384 |
She tried to look up at Kenneth, but the hand of Barus did not permit it. |
10 |
| 19 | 387 |
"Barus," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 389 |
"See that the new girl is worked well," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 391 |
"Shoveled and scrubbed," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 19 | 399 |
Kenneth turned to me. |
10 |
| 19 | 405 |
Besides, it is said, why should a slave know how to read? "I do not think our little friend, Taphris," said Kenneth, "has fallen in the favor of the Mistress". |
10 |
| 19 | 408 |
"And she will learn what it is to be a stable slut," said Kenneth, grimly. |
10 |
| 19 | 410 |
I had little doubt but what Kenneth said was true. |
10 |
| 19 | 412 |
I gathered that Kenneth would have been willing to let me read it, had I been able to do so. |
10 |
| 19 | 420 |
"Yes," said Kenneth, grinning. |
10 |
| 19 | 422 |
"Our lovely Taphris, it seems," said Kenneth, "has business in the stables". |
10 |
| 19 | 432 |
"Taphris is a spy," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 19 |
"Get away from the wall!" Kenneth was screaming. |
10 |
| 20 | 23 |
"Get away from the wall!" screamed Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 43 |
"Here!" called Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 46 |
"You are doing splendidly," Kenneth assured me. |
10 |
| 20 | 49 |
"Drink," said Kenneth to Taphris, who knelt at our side. |
10 |
| 20 | 50 |
She thrust the bottle filled with water, thick with sugar, to Kenneth who, holding it for me, poured some of it down my throat. |
10 |
| 20 | 52 |
Kenneth pushed the bottle back to Taphris. |
10 |
| 20 | 58 |
"You have him now," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 61 |
Kenneth, I decided, was insane. |
10 |
| 20 | 87 |
Did not Kenneth hold the vial of sand? Blows it seemed I rained with an avalanche of lead on the reeling post shuddering in its braces. |
10 |
| 20 | 92 |
"Stop! Stop!" was crying Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 98 |
I was dragged to the center of the sand and my hands, one by the referee, the other by Kenneth, the trainer, were lifted in victory. |
10 |
| 20 | 103 |
"Bring him then forth!" cried Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 109 |
I was half dragged, half pushed, by a crowd, Kenneth and Barus close to me, Taphris behind, through the barred gate leading to the sand pit. |
10 |
| 20 | 116 |
"Well done, Jason," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 122 |
"Back," begged Kenneth, "back! Return to the tiers!" We were now near the corridor gate leading from the small arena, to the stables where we were prepared for combat. |
10 |
| 20 | 123 |
"The Mistress!" said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 138 |
"May I present, Kenneth," said the Lady Florence of Vonda, "my dear friend, the Lady Melpomene of Vonda". |
10 |
| 20 | 139 |
"I am charmed, Lady Melpomene," said Kenneth, bowing. |
10 |
| 20 | 147 |
"You will see that the grounds, and the stables, are tidy, won't you, Kenneth?" asked the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 148 |
"Surely, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 150 |
"As Lady Florence wishes," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 152 |
"No, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 153 |
"Oh, Kenneth," asked the Lady Florence, "is the new girl working out?" "Yes, Lady Florence," he said. |
10 |
| 20 | 155 |
"Taphris," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 157 |
"Is she doing well?" "Yes," said Kenneth, "she has the makings of a superb stable slut". |
10 |
| 20 | 163 |
Kenneth had seen to that. |
10 |
| 20 | 167 |
"And her hair had value," said Kenneth, "so, as she is merely a stable slut, I saw fit to shear it". |
10 |
| 20 | 169 |
She would not interfere, of course, with Kenneth's management of the slaves. |
10 |
| 20 | 170 |
Kenneth smiled. |
10 |
| 20 | 171 |
"Again, Jason," said the Lady Florence, turning away from Kenneth, "permit me to congratulate you on your victory". |
10 |
| 20 | 173 |
"I did not know, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, "that you were a partisan of the bouts". |
10 |
| 20 | 176 |
"I see," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 179 |
"I see," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 186 |
"They are only slaves," pointed out Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 196 |
"With your permission, Lady Florence," said Kenneth, "I would like to get Jason to the stall, that we may dry and warm him. |
10 |
| 20 | 200 |
"Of course," grinned Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 208 |
"Come, Jason," said Kenneth, drawing me to my feet. |
10 |
| 20 | 210 |
"Kenneth!" called the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 211 |
Kenneth stopped and turned. |
10 |
| 20 | 213 |
"Surely," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 215 |
"Of course," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 218 |
"He is a male slave, a fighter," protested Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 222 |
"Let me at least chain Taphris at his side," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 225 |
"No, Kenneth," said the Lady Florence. |
10 |
| 20 | 227 |
"He is a man," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 20 | 230 |
"Is that clearly understood, Kenneth?" "Yes, Lady Florence," he said, angrily. |
10 |
| 20 | 231 |
"Kenneth," she said. |
10 |
| 20 | 235 |
Kenneth looked at her, puzzled. |
10 |
| 20 | 238 |
Then I yielded to the pressure of Kenneth's arm and was guided down the corridor, toward the stall set aside for our fighters. |
10 |
| 21 | 29 |
"Kenneth, too, is displeased with her," said Barus to me. |
10 |
| 21 | 63 |
"Kenneth has already intimated to the Mistress that she has the makings of an excellent stable slut". |
10 |
| 21 | 435 |
"Jason," called Kenneth, from the shed above me. |
10 |
| 21 | 480 |
Kenneth and Barus, too, were weary of her constant spyings and reportings to the mistress. |
10 |
| 22 | 7 |
I stood with Kenneth behind a curtain. |
10 |
| 22 | 58 |
"The Lady Melpomene is richly garbed," I noted to Kenneth, who stood beside me. |
10 |
| 22 | 61 |
"Even the perfume she wears is that of the Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 22 | 83 |
Kenneth, near me, behind the curtain, was smiling. |
10 |
| 22 | 324 |
"Why have I been brought here?" I asked Kenneth. |
10 |
| 22 | 325 |
"Be patient," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 22 | 396 |
"It is natural in a woman," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 22 | 405 |
"Earlier, I suspect," said Kenneth, "she has danced so only in the privacy of her chambers, naked, before her mirror". |
10 |
| 22 | 459 |
"Kenneth!" she called. |
10 |
| 22 | 460 |
"Jason!" "Precede me," said Kenneth, holding back the curtain. |
10 |
| 22 | 589 |
"But I told Kenneth," she said, "that I would later find a slut for you, and that I had a slut in mind". |
10 |
| 22 | 828 |
"I should get the slave back to the stables," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 22 | 853 |
"Come along, Jason," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 5 |
Last night, while chained by the neck in my stall, I had received two visits, one from Taphris and one from Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 46 |
"I saw Taphris sneak from the barn," had said Kenneth, when he had come to see me in my stall yesterday evening. |
10 |
| 23 | 49 |
"Do not bother to kneel," said Kenneth, crouching at the end of the stall. |
10 |
| 23 | 51 |
"How is your back?" asked Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 54 |
"We had no choice," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 56 |
Kenneth looked at me. |
10 |
| 23 | 62 |
"The she-sleen," laughed Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 70 |
Kenneth took from his belt a flask, which he handed me. |
10 |
| 23 | 76 |
I handed back the flask to Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 77 |
"I am scarcely master any longer in the stables," grumbled Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 83 |
Kenneth threw back his head and finished the wine. |
10 |
| 23 | 152 |
Then Kenneth had lit the torch and held it. |
10 |
| 23 | 156 |
"The tunnel is often used as a trysting place for slaves," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 165 |
"Sell her!" "On your feet, Taphris," said Kenneth, "head down, in leading position". |
10 |
| 23 | 168 |
Taphris stood, bent over, her knees bent, too, her head at the hip of Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 173 |
"But she is now an ignited slave," said Kenneth, smiling. |
10 |
| 23 | 177 |
"Yes, Lady Florence," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 182 |
Kenneth then thrust Taphris' slave rag in her mouth. |
10 |
| 23 | 186 |
Kenneth then led Taphris down the tunnel, his left hand fixed in her hair, his right hand holding aloft the torch. |
10 |
| 23 | 187 |
The Lady Florence looked about the tunnel, and at the retreating figure of Kenneth. |
10 |
| 23 | 190 |
She then turned about and hurried after Kenneth, and the light of the torch. |
10 |
| 24 | 2 |
"Go to the tunnel at the fifteenth Ahn," had said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 24 | 7 |
"The tunnel is often used as a trysting place for slaves," had said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 24 | 19 |
"She now sends you one," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 24 | 75 |
"Kenneth has not yet put me in a collar," she said. |
10 |
| 25 | 4 |
Kenneth was wrapping the long strips of leather about my hands. |
10 |
| 25 | 13 |
"I have not heard of this slave," I said to Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 21 |
"He seems strong," I said to Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 22 |
"Yes," said Kenneth, not looking back, but continuing to wrap the leather about my hands. |
10 |
| 25 | 24 |
"It should be," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 35 |
When I had asked Kenneth about this, he had merely grinned, and asked, "Do you not know?" "Perhaps," I had smiled. |
10 |
| 25 | 47 |
"That is no ordinary fighting slave," I told Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 48 |
"No," said Kenneth, not looking back. |
10 |
| 25 | 62 |
Kenneth laughed. |
10 |
| 25 | 64 |
"Do not delude yourself," said Kenneth, "he will rejoice in each blow that is struck upon your body. |
10 |
| 25 | 71 |
"He is one of the finest fighting slaves of Ar," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 73 |
"I do not think it is impossible," said Kenneth, finishing with the leather on my hands. |
10 |
| 25 | 76 |
"Of course not," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 78 |
"You are champion," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 81 |
"No," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 83 |
"No," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 85 |
"Such a bet would cast suspicion on the honesty of the bouts," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 87 |
"Doubtless," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 91 |
"I will not bet against my own men," said Kenneth. |
10 |
| 25 | 95 |
"Yes," smiled Kenneth, striking me on the shoulder. |
