| 31 | 177 |
Surely if Policrates had been in the holding he would have threatened me with his name and not that of Kliomenes, since I had expressly mentioned Policrates and he stood higher in the holding than Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 4 | 87 |
"Kliomenes, a lieutenant to Policrates," he said. |
10 |
| 6 | 50 |
For several weeks I had moved from one river town to the next, examining slave markets and attempting to obtain information on the whereabouts of the pirate, Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 6 | 122 |
I knew she had been taken recently, and by Kliomenes, the pirate. |
10 |
| 6 | 124 |
Indeed, I had little doubt but what I might find Miss Henderson, if I could but find in what market, or markets, Kliomenes would see fit to dispose of his most recent prizes. |
10 |
| 7 | 134 |
"Are you familiar with a pirate named Kliomenes?" I asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 176 |
"Tonight," I said, "Kliomenes puts his wares upon the block at the sales barn of Lysander". |
10 |
| 8 | 137 |
"Fortunately for you, my dear Callimachus, my friend Kliomenes, the disagreeable fellow who left the tavern earlier, does not know you. |
10 |
| 8 | 155 |
"The fellow who threatened me," I said to Tasdron, the proprietor of the tavern, "he called Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 8 | 156 |
Who is he?" "He is Kliomenes, the pirate, lieutenant to Policrates," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 9 | 6 |
"Have the girls of Kliomenes been sold?" I asked a fellow. |
10 |
| 9 | 30 |
"Are there girls of Kliomenes who remain to be sold?" I asked, desperately. |
10 |
| 9 | 76 |
"And here," called the auctioneer, "we have one of the catches of Kliomenes, taken near Lara". |
10 |
| 10 | 269 |
Had it not been for him I would doubtless have been slain by the pirate, Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 11 | 15 |
"Do you recall I was the fellow who challenged in this tavern, and who was threatened by Kliomenes, the pirate, the fellow who was saved, happily, by one called Callimachus". |
10 |
| 18 | 34 |
"In my own tavern," said Tasdron, "he had difficulty with Kliomenes, the pirate. |
10 |
| 19 | 109 |
I was startled to hear this name, for it was the name of he who had saved me, some weeks ago, from the steel of Kliomenes, the pirate. |
10 |
| 20 | 15 |
At a gesture from Kliomenes, who sat, cross-legged, beside her, a half-naked paga slave, whose left ankle was belled, refilled Miss Henderson's cup. |
10 |
| 20 | 25 |
"May I introduce my new friend," she said, "Kliomenes, a river captain". |
10 |
| 20 | 28 |
"Perhaps that was a mistake," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 20 | 41 |
"Kliomenes is a merchant," she told me. |
10 |
| 20 | 49 |
Kliomenes again gestured to the half-naked slave, with the belled ankle, that she refill the girl's cup. |
10 |
| 20 | 54 |
"Kliomenes is buying me a drink," she said. |
10 |
| 20 | 56 |
"I did not know she was yours," said Kliomenes, amused. |
10 |
| 20 | 59 |
"I am a free woman!" "Are you his companion?" asked Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 20 | 61 |
"Is she your wench slave?" asked Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 20 | 65 |
"Are you concerned for her?" asked Kliomenes, amused. |
10 |
| 20 | 70 |
"You see?" asked Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 20 | 72 |
"You have heard the lady," said Kliomenes, putting his arm about her shoulders. |
10 |
| 20 | 73 |
"Kliomenes, meet Jason," she said. |
10 |
| 20 | 74 |
"Jason, meet Kliomenes". |
10 |
| 20 | 75 |
Kliomenes inclined his head, amused. |
10 |
| 20 | 79 |
"Begone, Buffoon," said Kliomenes, not pleasantly. |
10 |
| 20 | 82 |
"Have no fear," grinned Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 20 | 86 |
"Unless," said Kliomenes, rising to his feet, "you care to meet me with steel". |
10 |
| 20 | 88 |
Kliomenes looked at me, grinning. |
10 |
| 20 | 92 |
I knew myself no match for Kliomenes, or the others. |
10 |
| 20 | 94 |
As I left the tavern I heard the laughter of Kliomenes and his men behind me, and the laughter, too, of the girl. |
10 |
| 20 | 96 |
I heard Kliomenes, within, call out. |
10 |
| 22 | 47 |
I saw Kliomenes, some seventy yards away, directing his men and the enforced laborers, citizens of Victoria, loading the galleys. |
10 |
| 22 | 226 |
"At the wharves," I said, "there were pirates, few more than half a hundred of such men, under the command of Kliomenes, lieutenant to Policrates". |
10 |
| 22 | 231 |
"And would you then," I asked, "willingly deliver them, prizes more fittingly yours, into the hands of such men as Kliomenes and Policrates. |
10 |
| 22 | 235 |
"You are, then, so fond of Kliomenes and Policrates that you are willing, graciously, to surrender to them the women and other treasures of this town". |
10 |
| 23 | 1 |
I am Made Welcome in the Holding of Policrates; Kliomenes Makes Test of Me; I Select a Girl for my Night's Pleasure The naked slave girl, in her bells and jewels, writhed on the scarlet tiles of the floor before us. |
10 |
| 23 | 16 |
"And let us drink to that!" He lifted his goblet and we clinked our goblets together, and I reached across, before Policrates, extending my goblet, too, to Kliomenes, who, surlily, sat on the right of Policrates. |
10 |
| 23 | 18 |
Kliomenes eyed me narrowly. |
10 |
| 23 | 54 |
"I would feel better," said Kliomenes, "if I could see your face". |
10 |
| 23 | 56 |
"It is common, Kliomenes," said Policrates, "for the courier, he carrying the topaz, to cover his features in foreign holdings. |
10 |
| 23 | 58 |
"For all you know," I said to Kliomenes, "I might be Ragnar Voskjard himself". |
10 |
| 23 | 59 |
Kliomenes shrank back. |
10 |
| 23 | 63 |
"There is something about you which seems familiar," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 23 | 65 |
"You see, Kliomenes," said Policrates, "our friend may be well known upon the river. |
10 |
| 23 | 68 |
"True," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 23 | 88 |
"I know who you remind me of," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 23 | 93 |
"Jason, of Victoria," said Kliomenes, "did not know the sword". |
10 |
| 23 | 95 |
"Draw!" cried Kliomenes, leaping across the table, and whipping out his blade. |
10 |
| 23 | 99 |
What could be the point?" "These things seem to me true," said Policrates, "but, as Kliomenes has said, there seems a resemblance". |
10 |
| 23 | 104 |
"But, on the other hand, it is well known upon the river that Kliomenes is an excellent swordsman. |
10 |
| 23 | 108 |
With one foot I moved aside the low table, watching Kliomenes, that he not attack me as I step upon the table, maintaining an uneven balance. |
10 |
| 23 | 109 |
Kliomenes, I saw, noted this. |
10 |
| 23 | 114 |
Kliomenes thrust suddenly at me and I parried the blow, smartly. |
10 |
| 23 | 119 |
Suddenly, angrily, Kliomenes attacked. |
10 |
| 23 | 130 |
Kliomenes angrily thrust his steel into its sheath. |
10 |
| 23 | 142 |
Kliomenes returned to his place, and I, replacing the table to its original position, returned, too, to my place. |
10 |
| 23 | 143 |
"Kliomenes," observed Policrates, "you seem weary". |
10 |
| 23 | 144 |
"I only wished to make test of him," said Kliomenes, "to determine whether or not he knew the sword". |
10 |
| 23 | 146 |
"His skills seem adequate," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 23 | 154 |
"I only wished to make test of him," said Kliomenes, "to see whether or not he knew the sword. |
10 |
| 23 | 160 |
Kliomenes, angrily, continued to swill wine. |
10 |
| 23 | 181 |
"I would prefer," said Kliomenes, "that he did not wear a mask". |
10 |
| 23 | 184 |
"What if one here should turn traitor, and later identify and betray our guest, say, for gold? Or, what if his features might be seen by a slave, say, a mere serving wench, who might later, herself being sold or given away, inadvertently, by her reaction, give suspicion as to his identity?" Kliomene... |
10 |
| 23 | 248 |
Too, she is perhaps intimidated by my presence, and that of Kliomenes, for we are highest in this holding". |
10 |
| 23 | 296 |
"Kliomenes fell in with her at the tavern of Hibron, the Pirate's Chain, in Victoria," he said. |
10 |
| 23 | 303 |
"Kliomenes did not even use Tassa powder on her," he said. |
10 |
| 23 | 394 |
I then bowed graciously to my host, Policrates, and to Kliomenes, his lieutenant and confederate, and then turned about, and made my way to my chambers. |
10 |
| 24 | 226 |
Whereas the frightened, deferential slave had not recognized me sitting regally with Policrates and Kliomenes in the feasting hall, in the robes and mask of the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, I did not doubt but what she might quickly recognize my voice. |
10 |
| 25 | 32 |
"If men such as Kliomenes or Policrates should understand that we are met on such subjects, my tavern, at the least, would be speedily reduced to ashes". |
10 |
| 28 | 98 |
Later, of course, she had been captured by Kliomenes, the lieutenant to Policrates, the pirate, and taken to the stronghold of Policrates. |
10 |
| 30 | 30 |
Kliomenes stood beside the curule chair of Policrates. |
10 |
| 30 | 91 |
"Liar!" said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 30 | 120 |
I saw Kliomenes smile. |
10 |
| 30 | 152 |
It angered me that Policrates and Kliomenes, and the others, could not even accept this possibility. |
10 |
| 30 | 161 |
"I crossed swords with the courier of Ragnar Voskjard in the great hall," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 30 | 165 |
"Certainly not," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 30 | 269 |
Policrates and Kliomenes laughed. |
10 |
| 30 | 319 |
Policrates was talking with Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 30 | 387 |
"I will take our fleet east on the river," said Policrates to Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 30 | 389 |
"Yes, Captain," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 31 | 121 |
In his own hall, when his girls had finished with me, making me yield in his presence, his enemy, for the amusement of himself and his men, I had heard him, as he had spoken to Kliomenes, declare an intention to move his fleet east. |
10 |
| 31 | 152 |
Kliomenes, I suspected, would then have been left in charge of the holding. |
10 |
| 31 | 171 |
He did not know me for an impostor, any more than the dolt, Kliomenes". |
10 |
| 31 | 175 |
"Persist in these lies," cried the pirate, "and I will bring the matter to the attention of Kliomenes himself!" "Forgive me, Captain," I said, as though frightened. |
10 |
| 31 | 178 |
Kliomenes must now, I gathered, be in charge of the holding. |
10 |
| 32 | 1 |
My Plan is Successful; I Take my Leave from the Holding of Policrates "Let them be whipped," said Kliomenes, "both of them". |
10 |
| 32 | 2 |
Kliomenes reclined in the curule chair of Policrates, holding his court. |
10 |
| 32 | 3 |
Mira and Tala, the blond sisters from Cos, kneeling naked before the chair of Kliomenes, their hands bound behind their back, their necks joined by a length of binding fiber, cried out with misery. |
10 |
| 32 | 12 |
"Should this complaint be brought again to my attention," said Kliomenes to the girls, "I shall have you cast naked into the jaws of tharlarion". |
10 |
| 32 | 15 |
"Take them away," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 19 |
"Kliomenes is holding court," he grinned. |
10 |
| 32 | 21 |
"We shall let Kliomenes be the judge of that," he said. |
10 |
| 32 | 26 |
"What is next?" inquired Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 35 |
On Gor what stronger bond need a girl wear? She stood before Kliomenes, graceful in the chains. |
10 |
| 32 | 36 |
"Is she pretty?" asked Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 51 |
"You may do obeisance, my dear," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 52 |
The girl rose to her feet and went to Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 58 |
"She is pretty," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 60 |
"Girl," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 62 |
"How were you taken?" asked Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 80 |
"You were to escort the Tamira back to the vicinity of the chain," said Kliomenes, regarding the pirate who had presented the loot before him. |
10 |
| 32 | 82 |
"The Tamira is carrying the signs and countersigns, as you know," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 105 |
How futile, how ineffective, was the expedient of the chain! Kliomenes regarded the flat coffers of coins on the tiles before his dais, the jewelry, the bowl of pearls, and the girl. |
10 |
| 32 | 107 |
"I see," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 111 |
"Once joined with the Voskjard," said Kliomenes, "we can fetch it forth from the towns, as it pleases us". |
10 |
| 32 | 113 |
Kliomenes smiled, addressed as Captain, though within the holding of Policrates. |
10 |
| 32 | 114 |
"Put the coins, the jewelry, the pearls in the general coffers," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 117 |
Kliomenes regarded the girl, musingly. |
10 |
| 32 | 123 |
"Keep her in the holding," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 126 |
Kliomenes then looked at me, and I was thrust forward, stumbling, toward the dais. |
10 |
| 32 | 131 |
"I should have slain you long ago, in the tavern of Tasdron, in Victoria," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 133 |
"I understand that you are a braggart, and a liar," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 136 |
"Are you so desperate for status among your fellow sleen," asked Kliomenes, "that you will risk such lies in this place?" I kept my head down. |
10 |
| 32 | 138 |
"You warned him, did you not?" inquired Kliomenes, of my guard. |
10 |
| 32 | 139 |
"Many times, Kliomenes," said the man. |
10 |
| 32 | 141 |
"I see," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 143 |
"What did he say?" inquired Kliomenes, amused. |
10 |
| 32 | 146 |
Now, I noted, lifting my head, that Kliomenes did not seem amused. |
10 |
| 32 | 147 |
There was resentment of Kliomenes, and jealousy, and fear, I suspected, in the holding. |
10 |
| 32 | 149 |
Kliomenes looked about the room, and the laughter instantly faded. |
10 |
| 32 | 150 |
"That is indeed amusing," said Kliomenes, returning his attention to me. |
10 |
| 32 | 152 |
"The courier, or he who posed as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, though not my equal, was not unskilled with the sword," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 154 |
"Do not slay him, Kliomenes," said one of the men near the curule chair, "for he might be of use in bargaining for the freedom of the true courier of Ragnar Voskjard, who must have been captured by our enemies in Victoria". |
10 |
| 32 | 155 |
"They would not exchange so valuable a man for this worthless fellow, a dock worker," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 158 |
"In the absence of Policrates," said Kliomenes, "I am first in the holding". |
10 |
| 32 | 160 |
Kliomenes again looked at me. |
10 |
| 32 | 163 |
"Put a sword in his hand," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 166 |
"No," I said, "no!" "Take it," said Kliomenes, evenly. |
10 |
| 32 | 171 |
Kliomenes then rested back in his curule chair. |
10 |
| 32 | 176 |
"Must you mock me?" "Take him outside," said Kliomenes, rising, and stretching. |
10 |
| 32 | 178 |
"What?" asked Kliomenes, puzzled. |
10 |
| 32 | 180 |
"Bring them, in their chains, outside," said Kliomenes, to my guard, "that they may observe what is done to this fellow". |
10 |
| 32 | 202 |
Give us room," said Kliomenes, approaching. |
10 |
| 32 | 208 |
"Clear more space," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 210 |
Two of the men with Kliomenes, I noticed, had their own blades drawn. |
10 |
| 32 | 212 |
It would do me no good, of course, even if I could manage it, to wound or slay Kliomenes within the confines of the present situation. |
10 |
| 32 | 215 |
"Are you ready, my stalwart simpleton, my handsome braggart, to now make good your showy boasts?" inquired Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 228 |
"There is no Callimachus to rescue you now, Dolt," said Kliomenes, measuring me, the point of his blade moving subtly, a yard or so from my chest. |
10 |
| 32 | 231 |
But then I was afraid, for I realized that Kliomenes had intended, that time, to truly strike me. |
10 |
| 32 | 234 |
"He is skilled," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 237 |
"Are you afraid, Kliomenes?" asked another. |
10 |
| 32 | 238 |
Kliomenes glanced to the two men nearest him, those with their swords drawn. |
10 |
| 32 | 241 |
Kliomenes tensed, but did not rush forward. |
10 |
| 32 | 244 |
I looked at Kliomenes, as though frightened. |
10 |
| 32 | 245 |
Kliomenes was regarding me, undecided. |
10 |
| 32 | 251 |
It was not the others I must convince of my ineptitude with the blade, but Kliomenes himself. |
10 |
| 32 | 258 |
Kliomenes smiled. |
10 |
| 32 | 260 |
I knelt at the mercy of Kliomenes, defenseless. |
10 |
| 32 | 263 |
Kliomenes looked about himself, and smiled. |
10 |
| 32 | 269 |
Kliomenes cried out with misery. |
10 |
| 32 | 271 |
"Back away!" whispered Kliomenes, tensely, held. |
10 |
| 32 | 274 |
"I slipped," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 276 |
"Drop your sword," I told Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 282 |
They hesitated and Kliomenes felt the edge of the steel, set to slide on his throat. |
10 |
| 32 | 283 |
"Put down your swords, Fools!" said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 285 |
My steel was then to the back of Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 288 |
"Surrender your sword," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 294 |
"Perhaps not," said Kliomenes, uneasily. |
10 |
| 32 | 306 |
"Put away your bow," ordered Kliomenes, angrily, preceding me. |
10 |
| 32 | 310 |
"Do as he says," said Kliomenes, angrily. |
10 |
| 32 | 321 |
"What do you intend?" asked Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 323 |
Kliomenes grinned. |
10 |
| 32 | 326 |
"It seems you will make good your escape," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 32 | 331 |
"Now, we are alone on the wall," I said to Kliomenes, leveling the sword at his belly. |
10 |
| 33 | 84 |
"It has already paid call on Kliomenes, in the holding of Policrates". |
10 |
| 33 | 92 |
"I learned these things in the court of Kliomenes," I said. |
10 |

I had learned this in the court of Kliomenes, in the holding of Policrates. |
10 |
| 10 | 1 |
What Hung at Our Prows; How We Greeted Kliomenes I crossed the wrists of Lola and, with the dark strap, bound them tightly together, before her body. |
10 |
| 10 | 49 |
It was that of Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 10 | 76 |
Miles of Vonda, on the stem castle of the Tuka, and Kliomenes, on the walls of the holding, exchanged signals. |
10 |
| 10 | 84 |
I could not hear the discourse which took place between Kliomenes and Miles of Vonda, but I knew, and well, its nature. |
10 |
| 10 | 90 |
Kliomenes spoke to someone beside him. |
10 |
| 10 | 93 |
Kliomenes stepped back from the wall. |
10 |
| 10 | 120 |
Kliomenes had descended from the wall. |
10 |
| 10 | 147 |
Kliomenes waited to greet him. |
10 |
| 10 | 162 |
I saw Kliomenes seizing the hand of Miles of Vonda. |
10 |
| 10 | 172 |
"Hold, hold there!" cried Kliomenes, suddenly. |
10 |
| 10 | 178 |
The arms of Kliomenes were pinned behind him by two men. |
10 |
| 10 | 183 |
"Throw down your arms!" called Kliomenes, hoarsely. |
10 |
| 10 | 214 |
Accordingly, within the fortress, under the command of Kliomenes, only a small force had been left, some two hundred to two hundred and fifty men. |
10 |
| 12 | 2 |
"Bring Kliomenes to the wall," I told a man. |
10 |
| 12 | 6 |
Kliomenes had spent a good part of yesterday, and the night, with certain other pirates, chained, in rags, at the windlass. |
10 |
| 12 | 31 |
There was a sound of chain near us and Kliomenes, his ankles shackled, was thrust to the parapet. |
10 |
| 12 | 34 |
"Smile, Kliomenes," I encouraged him. |
10 |
| 12 | 38 |
Kliomenes, at our suggestion, climbed to a place behind the wall where he might be the more easily seen. |
10 |
| 12 | 60 |
"Who is on the deck of the stem castle?" I asked Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 12 | 61 |
"Reginald," said Kliomenes, "who was the captain of the Tamira". |
10 |
| 12 | 65 |
"The courier of Ragnar Voskjard," said Kliomenes, "he in the mask". |
10 |
| 12 | 67 |
"I do not know," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 12 | 69 |
"I do not think so," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 12 | 70 |
Reginald hailed Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 12 | 74 |
Naturally Kliomenes, quarrels trained on his back, saw fit to accept these explanations. |
10 |
| 12 | 77 |
