9 1 Aphris of Turia There was little doubt that I, in the worn, red tunic of a warrior, and Kamchak, in the black leather of the Tuchuks, seemed somewhat out of place at the banquet of Saphrar, merchant of Turia.

10
9 93 Among the Wagons, clad in a brief bit of cord and leather, branded, wearing nose ring and Turian collar, could be found many of the beauties of Turia.
Details
10
10 264 The secret justification, I suspect, however, is that the Turian warrior is fond of meeting the enemy and acquiring his women, particularly should they be striking little beasts, like Hereena of the First Wagon, as untamed and savage as they are beautiful; it is regarded as a great sport among Turia...

10
10 273 I wondered how many of the proud beauties of Turia would this night tearfully serve barbarian masters; and how many of the wild, leather-clad girls of the Wagons, like Hereena, would find themselves this night naught but bangled, silken slaves locked behind the high walls of distant, lofty Turia.

13 117 He did not buy the kaiila near the wagon of Yachi of the Leather Workers though it was apparently a splendid beast.

10
11 1435 How pleased I was to be free! And then suddenly I turned and, behind me, some eight or ten feet away, standing, not speaking, tall in the blue and yellow robes of the slaver, still partially hooded, the band of leather across his left eye, was Soron of Ar.
Details
10
11 1449 I now saw, in his hand, coiled, several slender loops of braided leather.

11 1451 The leather loop suddenly dropped about me and jerked tight, pinning my arms to my sides.

12 731 The wide, swiftly closing loop of braided leather fell about her running body.
Details
10
13 80 Ute was of the leather workers.
Details
10
13 86 At the age of twelve, Ute had been purchased by a leather worker, who dwelt on the exchange island, administered by the Merchants, of Teletus.
Details
10
13 88 They had adopted her as their daughter, and had seen that she was trained well in the work of the leather workers, that caste which, under any circumstances, had been hers by right of birth.
Details
10
13 89 On her nineteenth birthday, members of the Caste of Initiates had appeared at the door of the leather-worker's hut.
Details
10
13 94 "Do you wish the piece of gold?" asked the chief of the delegation of Initiates, of the leather worker and his companion.
Details
10
13 99 Ute knew that the leather worker, and his companion, could well use this piece of gold.
Details
10
13 108 The leather worker and his companion, reluctantly, yielding to her entreaties, accepted the piece of gold.

10
13 117 It was there that she had been purchased by Barus, who, as she had once been, was of the leather workers.

13 761 He thrust the horn nozzle of a leather bota of water between my teeth.
Details
10
13 773 He wore scarlet leather.
Details
10
13 775 Neither his leather nor his helmet were distinguished by insignia.
Details
10
13 1031 Even when I had thought myself most free, after the escape from Targo, after betraying Ute, and escaping in the Ka-la-na thicket, this beast, with his laugh, his leather rope, and his slave collar, had been upon my trail.
Details
10
13 1065 He fastened his helmet to the side of the saddle and, from his saddle pack, withdrew a roll of leather.
Details
10
13 1067 I remembered then, the tall figure in the blue and yellow silk, with the leather covering one eye.

14 123 There were many warriors about, perhaps a hundred or more, the men of Rask of Treve, and perhaps some twenty girls, lovely ones, in brief work tunics, busying themselves with their tasks, cooking, cleaning leather, polishing shields.
Details
10
14 182 They made us work! Why did they not do their own cooking, and polish their own leather, and go to the stream or the washing shed and wash their own clothes? They did not do so because they did not wish to do so.
Details
10
14 368 How beautiful I thought would have been Ena, in the straps, arched, supine, bound over the dark, oiled leather of a saddle, a tarnsman's prize, so tethered, so bared, so constrained, so helpless, so subdued.
Details
10
14 425 The roving tarnsman, with his leather loops at the side of his saddle, thinking of trying "chain luck," the scrutinizing slaver, with his capture loops and notebooks, engaged in the commerce of women, may surely better assess a half-naked quarry.
Details
10
14 508 In the alcove, he draws shut and ties the leather curtains.
Details

14 683 We faced one another, not speaking, he with his blade, and in his leather, I with nothing, stripped at his command.
Details
10
15 24 My wrists were still bound, fastened by the leather knots of the tarnsman, Rask of Treve.
Details
10
15 194 Many of the girls ran to individual warriors, their eyes shining, leaping up and seizing the stirrups, pulling themselves up and putting their cheeks against their soft leather boots.
Details
10
15 479 The musician fastened leather cuffs, mounted each with three rows of bells, on her wrists and ankles.
Details
10
15 551 A guard was with us, and we were charged with filling our leather buckets with ram-berries, a small, reddish fruit with edible seeds, not unlike tiny plums, save for the many small seeds.
Details
10
15 561 It was glorious to be outside the stockade, even though fastened by a leather neck strap to another girl.
Details
10
15 784 There had been the terrible sound of the leather, and then the pain.
Details
10
15 794 Again the leather fell and I gasped and twisted, hanging burning from the pole.
Details
10
15 819 My thigh burned terribly, from the branding, and my back and the back of my legs still screamed from the cruel flames of the leather lash.
Details
10
15 975 No matter what brands might be fixed in my flesh, nor what the leather might do to my back or the tiny dimensions of the slave box to my body, I knew I did not have their weaknesses.
Details
10
15 1209 Before I reached it I felt myself seized in a man's arms, and felt his leather.
Details
10
16 27 She had forgiven me! I loved her! Ute, only of the leather workers, was the kindest, most generous, most loving girl I had ever known.
Details
10
16 191 Across the back of her dark hair I could see leather gag straps.
Details
10
16 250 As it was, only the tiniest sound of pain, little more than a startled gasp, forcing its way about the stoppage of the leather, the wadding and straps, escaped her.
Details
10
17 192 But I knew that she would seek out one named Barus, of the leather workers, whose name she had often moaned in her sleep.
Details
10
17 208 Then the basket jerked forward, on its leather runners, and skidded across the clearing, and then, swung below the tarn.
