What an honor, what a privilege, what an incredible gift, just to be able to see you, just to be permitted to be here! How unworthy are the women of Earth to know your glory and beauty! What could a woman such as I be on a world such as this but a slave? On such a world what else could we be? Oh, th... |

"Ellen!" called Laura, sharply. |
10 |
| 13 | 124 |
"Laura," she said, "someone has hung up some of the things from my basket". |
10 |
| 13 | 125 |
"I did," said Laura, irritably. |
10 |
| 13 | 129 |
She decided that Laura might not be as unpleasant or stupid as she had supposed. |
10 |
| 13 | 130 |
Laura looked at her, suddenly, sharply. |
10 |
| 13 | 131 |
"You are sorry, aren't you?" said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 133 |
"Let us hurry," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 140 |
"There are many more baskets below," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 154 |
"May I speak?" Ellen asked Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 155 |
Laura grunted in response, a pair of clothespins between her teeth, others in her left hand, which also held a corner of a robe. |
10 |
| 13 | 157 |
Ellen waited until Laura had finished with the robe. |
10 |
| 13 | 158 |
"To better conceal you," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 161 |
"It is spring," said Laura, "and that is a popular time for the hunts of tarnsmen, not that those monsters need any seasonal excuse for their predations". |
10 |
| 13 | 165 |
"Surely you are apprised of at least the first knowledge?" said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 167 |
"I have never seen a hith," said Laura, "but I have spoken to those who have. |
10 |
| 13 | 172 |
"You might ask to do so," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 177 |
"They do," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 179 |
"Oh, Laura!" protested Ellen. |
10 |
| 13 | 180 |
"There are many sorts of sleen," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 197 |
"Laura, please," prompted Ellen. |
10 |
| 13 | 207 |
"There may be something to that," said Laura, "but I suspect that men dress their slaves as they do, if they dress them at all, because they find them exciting to look upon, and wish to call attention to their beauty, and enjoy displaying them as their properties. |
10 |
| 13 | 213 |
"Sometimes they break through," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 223 |
"To be sure," said Laura, "if a tarnsman did settle for you, I do not think that afterwards, when he had you squirming naked in his ropes, bound hand and foot, he would be at all disappointed with the nature of his catch". |
10 |
| 13 | 225 |
"Really?" "To be sure," said Laura, "you are only a slave. |
10 |
| 13 | 228 |
"If a tarnstrike should be upon us," said Laura, "and you cannot get below, just throw yourself to your belly on the roof. |
10 |
| 13 | 235 |
"They will have the wind behind them!" said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 241 |
"Get below!" called Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 244 |
"There are prize slaves below, and riches," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 251 |
"Get down!" cried Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 258 |
"Get down!" called Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 270 |
"Who taught you your work? Go home and play with vulos! You have the skill of a tharlarion!" "Come down!" called Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 284 |
"It is the strategy of the second strike," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 288 |
"Yes," said Laura, "the two of them, the monsters, are having their rendezvous. |
10 |
| 13 | 291 |
"Doubtless they will split her price," said Laura, or perhaps they will keep her and gamble for her". |
10 |
| 13 | 293 |
"Yes," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 298 |
"True," smiled Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 301 |
"We all are," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 328 |
"I speculate that her life is going to change," said Laura to Ellen. |
10 |
| 13 | 342 |
"Stay back, keep away from him!" warned Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 348 |
"Summon guardsmen!" "He is clever," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 352 |
"We are in the presence of a free man," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 356 |
"Kneel as the slaves you are," whispered Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 361 |
"She is beautiful, Master," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 363 |
"There are no guardsmen to call," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 365 |
"He took my clothing! He tunicked me! He put a collar on me!" "He is clever," said Laura to the others. |
10 |
| 13 | 368 |
"They are well revealed, Master," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 380 |
"In a few moments the pursuit, organized, will depart, following the raiders," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 383 |
Laura looked at her, sharply, with interest. |
10 |
| 13 | 391 |
"Master is strong and clever," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 393 |
Laura spread her knees more widely, but subtly, seemingly shyly, beneath her gown. |
10 |
| 13 | 395 |
She had not seen Laura like this before, so before a man. |
10 |
| 13 | 396 |
So, she thought, Laura is indeed a slave girl. |
10 |
| 13 | 398 |
Surely not I! Ellen did not think this behavior on Laura's part was unnoticed by the stalwart figure on the roof. |
10 |
| 13 | 404 |
"Mistress," said Laura, respectfully. |
10 |
| 13 | 426 |
"Laura," whispered Ellen. |
10 |
| 13 | 427 |
"Yes," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 428 |
"He is waiting for tarnsmen to leave the city?" "Yes," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 430 |
"Do not concern yourself about her," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 433 |
"I do not think so," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 435 |
"But the whip dance?" "True, that will hurt her," said Laura, "but it will teach her, too, who her masters are". |
10 |
| 13 | 438 |
"Yes," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 442 |
"Ar," said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 445 |
"He is magnificent!" breathed Laura, in awe. |
10 |
| 13 | 449 |
"Master!" called Laura suddenly. |
10 |
| 13 | 457 |
"Forgive me, Master!" wept Laura, lowering herself humbly to her belly before him, and pressing her lips to his bootlike sandals. |
10 |
| 13 | 461 |
The tarnsman crouched down beside Laura and, with a length of binding fiber, crossed her wrists and bound them together before her body. |
10 |
| 13 | 468 |
Laura's gown, in a moment, cut from her, cast aside, had fluttered to the roof. |
10 |
| 13 | 469 |
"I am yours, Master!" said Laura. |
10 |
| 13 | 497 |
Laura, too, was gone. |
10 |
| 13 | 502 |
She did not know what Laura's fate might be. |
10 |
| 13 | 519 |
Nelsa and Laura, slaves of the house. |
10 |
| 13 | 520 |
Of those upon the roof, Laura was first girl". |
10 |
| 13 | 533 |
But she might be sold in favor of Laura. |
10 |
| 16 | 567 |
That woman now, perhaps, with Laura, heeled her master in Brundisium, some paces behind, and to his left. |

10 |

I had been a number, 119, and I was now "Laura," because I had been so named! I felt the collar on my neck. |
10 |
| 23 | 126 |
I was then indeed "Laura," or whatever masters might choose to name me, should they give me a name. |
10 |
| 23 | 127 |
But Laura could run! She could flee! I was not such a fool as to suppose I was not now a slave, for in the perfection of the law it was so, but I could run. |
10 |
| 23 | 128 |
Laura could run! I looked beyond the end of the dock. |
10 |

Was I truly free, I asked myself? Then I thought to myself, no, Margaret, Laura, you are not free, but a slave. |

I also learned that there was a town there, on the Laurius, called Laura, which interested me, for it is a name I was familiar with from my former world, and, indeed, it had been given to me in Tarncamp. |
10 |

I was now Laura, if it pleased masters. |
10 |

"I have been named 'Laura'," I said. |
10 |

It was my understanding that she had been given the name 'Laura', either in Tarncamp or Shipcamp, presumably Tarncamp, perhaps named for the town on the Laurius, to the south, though, as I also understood it, that was a familiar barbarian female name, which might be bestowed on any barbarian slave, ... |
10 |
| 43 | 577 |
In any event, the name 'Laura' had been given to the barbarian, and it was the only name she had, a name given her at the pleasure of masters, a slave name. |

"Can she lick the whip as well as Laura?" she asked. |
10 |
| 50 | 77 |
"So this is Laura?" said Asperiche. |

10 |
| 52 | 741 |
