4 5 Cernus of Ar wore a coarse black robe, woven probably from the wool of the bounding, two-legged Hurt, a domesticated marsupial raised in large numbers in the environs of several of Gor's northern cities.
Details
10
4 6 The Hurt, raised on large, fenced ranches, herded by domesticated sleen and sheared by chained slaves, replaces its wool four times a year.
Details
10
4 13 It was a large room, some seventy feet square and with a ceiling of some fifty feet in height.
Details
10
4 20 Behind Cernus, on the wall, there hung a large tapestry, richly done in red and gold, which bore the same sign.

5 59 In tying such a knot, with the cord looped on the inside about the latch bar, and the knot too large to slip through the hole, I would have fastened the bar down.

5 512 Elizabeth, besides speaking boldly out on a large number of delicate civic, social and political issues, usually not regarded as the province of the fairer sex, categorically refused to wear the cumbersome Robes of Concealment traditionally expected of the free woman.

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 ...

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.

6 127 "The slave who lost at hook knife," said Ho-Tu, pushing a large spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

7 139 There was a large quantity of this gold, perhaps forty squares, which were distributed among the four tarn baskets remaining on the ledge.

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.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
9 30 This type of thing is at its worst when large numbers of girls must be sold, as when a city has fallen.
Details
10
9 44 Who knows what women, freshly branded, hooded and braceleted, chained in the slave wagons, pass to and from Ar? Passing down a corridor, trailing after Ho-Tu, we stopped briefly to peer into a large room.
Details
10
9 48 Elsewhere in the room there were some free men, Scribes I gathered though they were stripped to the waist, who were inking, using a silk-screen process, large sheets of layered, glued rag paper.

10 6 Once again I found myself staring through a large rectangle of glass, but this time there was only one such panel.

11 31 I followed him into a large room, barred by a heavy iron door.

11 37 He was a large man, smooth-shaven.

11 39 There was also an anvil in the room, resting on a large block of wood.

12 3 The tarn, screaming, its wing useless, tumbled uncontrollably from the edge of the large, open, padded ring suspended over the net on the track, plunging into the net, its rider cutting the safety straps and leaping from its back in order that he not be slain beneath the bird struggling in the net.
Details
10
12 12 The other bird was apparently only stunned, and it was being rolled to the edge of the net where it would be dropped into a large wheeled frame, drawn by two horned tharlarion, onto a suspended canvas, where it was immediately secured by broad canvas straps.

12 109 "Candies!" I looked down and was startled to see, some four tiers below, not seeing me, the pathetic, stubby, bulbous little body of Hup the Fool, limping and hopping about in the aisle, his large head on the fat little body lolling one way or another, the tongue occasionally, suddenly, unexpectedly...

12 135 The course is determined by twelve rings, hung on chains from great supporting towers; six of these "rings" are rectangular and six are round; the large rectangular "rings" are three on a side; the smaller, round rings are set at the corners of the dividing wall, and one at each of the narrowest por...

12 377 I was approached twice by men who had small scrolls to sell, reputedly containing important information on forthcoming races, the tarns to be flown, their riders, their times recorded in previous races and such; I supposed this would be little more than what was publicly available on the large track...

12 393 Angrily I tried to step about him, but then there were others pressing between myself and the large man in the peasant's garments, and he had disappeared.

13 101 In a secluded place, among the planted grasses and ferns, sheltered from view, I had lifted Nela from the pool and placed her on a large piece of orange toweling on the grass, near which I had left my clothes and pouch.

13 229 After we had eaten and drunk together, clapping me on the shoulders, Mip invited me to the tarncot where he worked, one of the large cots of the Greens.

13 264 I looked up and saw the three moons of Gor, the large moon and the two small ones, one of the latter called the Prison Moon, for no reason I understood.
Details
10
13 287 The major difference is the tautness of the reins between the two rings; the racing saddle, on the other hand, is only a slip of leather compared to the common tarn saddle, which is rather large, with saddle packs, weapon sheaths and paired slave rings.

10
14 112 Once as I walked about I heard the wild cry, a howling roar, of an animal, apparently large and fierce; I supposed it to be the Beast of which Ho-Tu, and others, seemed so frightened; they seemed to know as little of it as I; when I heard the cry an involuntary shiver coursed my spine; I felt the ha...

15 101 The training of slaves and criminals for these fights, and the acquisition and training of the beasts is a large business in Ar, there being training schools for men, and compounds where the beasts, captured on expeditions to various parts of Gor and shipped to Ar, may be kept and taught to kill und...

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...

16 213 Not only is it expensive to buy or rent tarncots, acquire racing tarns, hire riders and Tarn Keepers, and the entire staff required to maintain a faction organization, but there is a large track fee for new factions, during the first two probation years.

10
17 4 About that time a large pan of warm water splashed down on me from a window some sixteen feet above the street level.

10
17 45 We stopped when I was pushed stumbling into a large room, in which there were numerous baskets and harnesses hanging about, apparently a storeroom of sorts in an unimportant cylinder.

17 179 "Bring paga!" called the disguised guard, summoning a belled slave girl to him, one carrying a large vessel of paga, that drinks might be dispensed yet once again.

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.

17 741 "A pen, ink?" "I have silk," she said, "and rouge, and bottles of cosmetics!" In a short time we had spread a large square of silk on the floor between us, and, carefully, finger in and out of a rouge pot, I had drawn the squares of the board.

18 150 Then he rose in his green quarters tunic and went to a chest in his room, from which he drew forth a large bottle of paga.

18 217 "Everything was gone," said Flaminius, "the records, our equipment, the animals; several of my staff had been slain; those who survived, in large part, did not wish to continue the work".

18 274 There were, however, the means for shutting it at hand, two large beams which might be placed in iron brackets.

18 319 "There, Master!" said she, pointing to a basket of bottles under the large cutting table in the center of the room.

18 320 I went to the basket and took out a bottle, a large one.

10
18 324 Two large wine jugs stood in one corner of the room.

10
18 353 He grinned and put out his hand and I bit the cork from the bottle, which was a very large bottle, and handed it to him.
Details
10
18 443 He then indicated behind himself, on the wall, a large number of tiny, regularly formed scratches in the stone, perhaps cut there by a pebble or the edge of the tin drinking dish.

18 447 There were a very large number of scratches.

19 19 Particularly was I angered by the occasional large, flat blocks of stone placed across the streets, low enough to permit a wagon to pass over them, and separated by enough distance to allow the passage of a wagon's wheels, but surely a threat to a tethered fool, shackled and hooded, led on a chain b...

19 29 I was barefooted; my only garment was a short woolen, sleeveless tunic; on both the back and the front of this tunic was sewn a large block letter, the initial letter of the Gorean expression "Kajirus," which means a male slave.

19 46 I stumbled again, on one of the large, broad, flat stepping stones, and fell forward and was jerked by the chain tearing at the back of my neck, and struggled again to my feet, hearing through the thick layers of leather in the slave hood the laughter of the guards, as though far away.

10
19 60 Within, the hood was, to my satisfaction, removed; when the large wad of soured leather was removed from my mouth I threw up against one wall; the guards laughed and struck me; the lights, lamps, though they were feeble, seemed very bright, and ringed with many colors; the hood had been dark and hot...

19 85 This was surprising because the hour was still early; I supposed the crowd this night would be unusually large, even for the fourth night of the Love Feast; none of the citizens had paid much attention to my being brought under guard to the box of Cernus; he was Ubar; it is not unusual on Gor for a ...

10
5 175 Suddenly, from it, through the clear air, from far off, there drifted a roar, as of some large animal.
Details
10
5 190 Then, to my horror, a large, golden creature, six-legged, supporting itself on its four long back legs, almost upright, stepped from the ship.
Details
10
5 191 It had large eyes and, I thought, antennae.
Details
10
6 26 Near me, startling me, there was a tiny movement in the grass and a small, furry creature, with two large gnawing teeth, skittered past.
Details
10
6 31 Once, looking up, I saw a flight of large, white, broad-winged birds.
Details
10
6 54 It was a large pool, and I drank as much as I wanted.
Details
10
6 191 When the small man, in my penthouse, when I had lain bound on my bed, had touched me, the large man, abruptly, angrily, had said that word to him.
Details
10
6 197 But I recalled the accent of the large man, who had commanded them.
Details
10
6 214 The spears were large, with curved bronze heads.
Details
10
6 233 It was rather large.
Details
10
6 286 I had heard him converse with the large man.
Details
10
7 19 Two gold pieces is a high price for a raw girl, delivered in Laura, but if the same girl can be brought safely to a large market city, she will probably bring five or more, even if untrained.
Details
10
7 67 In the "display chain" we were spaced on the chain, and the chain stretched rather taut and fastened at both ends, sometimes to trees, sometimes to two large metal screws, more than two feet in length, which screwed into the ground, beyond the reach on each end of the first and last girl.
Details
10
7 106 He also purchased a large quantity of rough cloth.
Details
10
7 161 Each was drawn by two bosk, large brown creatures with spreading, polished horns, hung with beads.
Details
10
7 177 Now, chained, kneeling in a circle, we passed about, one to the other, a bowl of hot soup; then each of us was given a sixth of a round yellow loaf of bread, which we ate with our hands; then, before each of us, on the grass, the guards threw a large piece of cooked meat.
Details
10
7 294 They tend, on the whole, to be large, strong, virile, confident, uncompromising, powerful men.
Details
10
7 392 We could see a large, flat wagon, drawn by four huge, beautifully groomed black bosk.
Details
10
7 531 I remembered that the large man, on the planet Earth, had said to me this thing.
Details
10
7 539 She was bound tightly over the large rear wheel of our wagon.
Details
10
8 50 It had two large steering oars, manned by bargemen.
Details
10
8 75 They were mounted on large circles of wood, which could rotate.
Details
10
8 198 Through the great doors I could see large central areas, and various floors, reached by more ramps.
Details
10
8 230 Yet I had little doubt that the strong, large-handed men of Laura, sturdy in their work tunics, who stopped to regard us, would not appreciate the body of a slave girl, provided she is vital, and loves, and leaps helplessly to their touch.
Details
10
8 245 What a fate for Elinor Brinton! I must not be sold here! I must not! One of the extra bargemen came and, with his heavy key, unlocked the large padlock that secured the gate of our slave cage.
Details
10
8 313 This yard resembles a large cage.
Details
10
8 564 And her men I liked, in their rough cloaks and tunics, vital, supple, strong men, large-handed and laughing, men who worked with their hands and backs in the clean air and on the river.
Details
10
8 672 It was an incredibly hideous, large-eyed, furred thing.
Details
10
8 677 Its mouth was huge, large enough to take a man's head into it, and it was rimmed with two rows of stout fangs.
Details
10
8 686 They were large and spreading.
Details
10
8 691 They were large and black-pupiled.
Details
10
8 699 Frequently, especially when it had performed well, the mountebank would throw the animal a tiny piece of bosk meat, this taken from a large pocket in his robes.
Details
10
8 711 The piece of meat disappeared into that vast, fanged orifice and the large, round eyes blinked sleepily, contentedly.
Details
10
8 787 The girls were now waving to the mountebank and he, smiling and bowing, acknowledged our attention and then, with his large, strange animal on its chain, turned and left.
Details
10
8 961 The guard handed me a piece of meat and I took it in my teeth kneeling beside him, where he sat cross-legged, I lifting and squeezing the bota of paga, filled from one of the large jugs, guiding the stream of liquid into his mouth.
Details
10
8 1078 His large head bent toward my throat.
Details
10
8 1087 The man who had held me leaped half to his feet, crying out, when something large and heavy struck him on the side of the head.
Details
10
9 283 Bright in the dark, star-strewn Gorean sky, large, dominating, seemingly close enough to touch, loomed the three moons of Gor.
Details
10
10 1 What Transpired in the Hut The large-eyed, furred thing blinked at me.
Details
10
10 31 The eyes were large, black, round, the snout wide, two-nostriled and leathery.
Details
10
10 521 Then, from a hook on the wall, he took a large piece of meat, bosk meat, and threw it to the animal.
Details
10
10 624 The large, wide, triangular head of the sleen, its nocturnal eyes blinking against the sudden light of the fire, thrust further into the room, followed by its shoulders, then its right, clawed paw.
Details
10
10 649 It lifted its large paws to its throat.
Details
10
11 30 "Yes, Master," I said, and went to one side of the large slave room in the public pens of Ko-ro-ba.
Details
10
11 99 The Turian collar, too, a looser ring of steel, large enough for a man's fist to grasp on the girl's throat, was occasionally seen now in the northern cities.
Details
10
11 1290 In a few minutes I, pleased, knelt, naked, on the wooden platform in the large room in the public pens of Ko-ro-ba.
Details
10
12 65 Each of us had then been forced to eat a large bowl of heavy slave gruel.
Details
10
12 132 Just at that moment one of the cowled huntsmen, a large, swarthy fellow, looked our way and saw us peeping out.
Details
10
12 147 How straight walked the huntsmen, how broad their backs, how straight their gaze and high their head, how large their hands, how keen their gaze! They were masters! They had made slaves even of men! What would a mere woman be in their hands? I detested them.
Details
10
12 452 How I ran inside the large fortress.
Details
10
13 28 We had run for perhaps an Ahn, when, gasping, exhausted, scarcely able to move, we had reached the edge of a large Ka-la-na thicket.
Details
10
13 165 She had also shown me how, with binding fiber, a log and a stick trigger, to make a snare large enough to catch a tabuk, but we did not actually make such a snare.
Details
10
13 312 By dawn we came to another large stand of Ka-la-na, in which we, wearily, concealed ourselves.
Details
10
13 640 I heard some clanging of pans, some seemingly celebratory, or congratulatory, pounding on kettles, perhaps with large metal spoons.
Details
10
13 643 "I see you have her, Warrior," said a large peasant, bearded, in a rough tunic of rep cloth.
Details
10
13 769 He had a large head, muchly concealed within the war helmet.
Details
10
13 772 His hands were large, and rough, fit for weapons.
Details
10
13 1043 He had a large head.
Details
10
13 1047 The teeth in his darkly tanned, wind-burned face seemed large and white, and strong.
Details
10
14 201 I stood before a large, low tent of scarlet canvas, suspended on eight poles.
Details
10
14 341 It was a large chest and apparently quite full.
Details
10
14 579 I knelt, naked, on a large fur.
Details
10
15 221 When I could, I would manage, in my daily tasks, to pass by the tent of Rask of Treve, that large, low tent, on its eight poles, of scarlet canvas lined with scarlet silk.
Details
10
15 234 When Rask had collared Inge he had shaken her blond head with his large hand.
Details
10
15 288 To one side there was a large pile of laundered work tunics, which I had washed in the early morning.
Details
10
15 469 He cut a large slice of juicy bosk meat.
Details
10
15 920 The small, light, unpleasant work will be done by the female slave; the large, heavy, unpleasant work by the draft animal, or the male slave.
Details
10
15 1124 As I stood there two large, golden earrings were thrust through the piercing of my ears and fastened on me.
Details
10
15 1387 I felt his large hands part the bit of silk that I wore and, gently, drop it about my ankles.
Details
10
15 1465 He was so large.
Details
10
17 290 My master, Bosk, a large man, very strong, did not use me.
Details
10
17 292 There were other beauties in the house: slender, dark-haired Midice, the woman of a captain, Tab; large, blond-haired Thura, the woman of the great peasant, master of the bow, Thurnock; and short, dark-eyed Ula, woman of silent, strong Clitus, once a fisherman of the isle of Cos.

6 352 It was quite possibly the same camp he had used several months ago, when, as recreation from the duties of the Ubar, he had gone hunting in the northern forests, a sporting trip in which he had captured a large number of animals, and, as well, Verna, a famed outlaw woman, and her entire band.

16 104 She knew only that she knelt, stripped, blindfolded and bound, before a harsh female interrogator, one whose uncompromising strictures and imperious tones could only be interpreted as those of a leader of a large and important band of panther women.

18 88 She still wore large, golden earrings.
