Suddenly she began to shake with sobs and fell to her knees at the paws of the kaiila, the gold piece in her left hand. |

"And I know that you liked her—that you would not wager for her—and," he added, nodding toward the pouch at my belt, "your pouch is no heavier now than when you left". |

The two lines are separated by about fifty feet and each stake in a line is separated from the stake on its left and right by about ten yards. |

I saw the first blood leap from the cheek of Kamras, and then again from his left arm, then from the thigh, then from an ear. |
9 |
| 11 | 115 |
Then Kamchak, with his two women, and I, left the Plains of a Thousand Stakes and set out for the wagons of the Tuchuks. |
9 |
| 11 | 173 |
After this Kamchak and I left the wagon and wandered about, stopping at one of the slave wagons for a bottle of paga, which, while wandering about, we killed between us. |
9 |
| 11 | 209 |
I noted that there was a large welt on the side of her face, that her hair was ripped up a bit and that there were five long scratches on the left side of her face. |
9 |
| 11 | 213 |
There were teeth marks in her left arm and, if I was not mistaken, her right eye was ringed and discolored. |
9 |
| 11 | 307 |
Kamchak then took a bit of meat that was left over from the fresh-roasted meat that Miss Cardwell had prepared. |
9 |
| 11 | 320 |
We left Aphris standing there, clutching the knife, breathing deeply. |
9 |
| 11 | 404 |
"Sleen! Sleen! Sleen!" I followed Kamchak down the steps of the wagon and, blinking and still sensible of the effects of the paga, gravely held open the large dung sack near the rear left wheel of the wagon. |
9 |
| 12 | 233 |
He had also parked Aphris on his right and Elizabeth on his left. |
9 |
| 12 | 238 |
In a right-handed girl, such as either Aphris or Elizabeth, it locks on the right wrist and left ankle. |
9 |
| 12 | 257 |
Also, she may have feared more than death that if she failed in an attempt to slay him she would be plunged in the sack again which lay ever ready near the back, left wheel of the wagon. |
9 |
| 12 | 276 |
Then I took her left ankle in my hand and lifted it a bit, slipping the open ankle ring under it. |
9 |
| 12 | 305 |
But Elizabeth, with her free left hand had seized the paga bottle from Kamchak, and, to his amazement, had thrown back her head and taken, without realizing the full import of her action, about five lusty, guzzling swallows of paga. |
9 |
| 12 | 309 |
I held her by the shoulders and suddenly she turned herself in my hands and, as I was sitting cross-legged, threw herself on her back across my lap, her right wrist still chained to her left ankle. |
9 |
| 12 | 442 |
"Why not?" Then suddenly she jerked at the hobble but could not rise and nearly fell, and pounded her left fist into the dirt before her. |
9 |
| 12 | 490 |
Then, shrugging, I too left the enclosure, thinking that perhaps I should wander among the wagons for a few hours, before returning. |
9 |
| 12 | 518 |
I found the paga bottle and noted that there was a bit of liquid left in it, below the neck of the bottle. |
9 |
| 13 | 43 |
"I did not see her after she left the enclosure of the dance," I said. |
9 |
| 13 | 52 |
She then went to stand by the left, rear wheel of the wagon. |

He was eating a piece of bosk meat in the Tuchuk fashion, holding the meat in his left hand and between his teeth, and cutting pieces from it with a quiva scarcely a quarter inch from his lips, then chewing the severed bite and then again holding the meat in his hand and teeth and cutting again. |
9 |
| 15 | 150 |
"Perhaps," he granted, carefully wiping the quiva on the back of his left sleeve. |

On the left of Saphrar there sat another warrior, in the leather of a tarnsman, save that he wore a jeweled belt, and about his neck, set with diamonds, there hung a worn tarn disk from the city of Ar. |
9 |
| 16 | 161 |
The other warrior, a strong, gaunt man, scarred across the left cheekbone, with shrewd, dark eyes, said nothing, but watched us, considering us, as a warrior considers an enemy. |
9 |
| 16 | 202 |
"I was once," continued Saphrar, "a perfumer of Tyros—but I one day left the shop it seems inadvertently with some pounds of the nectar of talenders concealed beneath my tunic in a bladder—and for that my ear was notched and I was exiled from the city. |

The second objective, that of obtaining the egg for themselves, was already almost accomplished; Kutaituchik had been killed and it had been stolen from his wagon; there was left only to deliver it to the gray man, who would, in turn, deliver it to the Others—whoever or whatever they might be... |

Harold left the walk and stepped carefully to avoid trampling a patch of talenders, a delicate yellow flower, often associated in the Gorean mind with love and beauty. |

I had left the tarn with the wagons. |
9 |

I might go after the wagons, which would be moving slowly, obtain the tarn I had left with them, and then return on tarnback to Saphrar's house. |

The roof of a building on the left was afire and smoke and sparks were being hurled into the sky and swept by the wind across the adjoining buildings. |

Then in the clearing inside the gate, on his kaiila, lance in his right fist, turning and barking orders, I saw Kamchak of the Tuchuks, waving men to the left and right, and to the roof tops. |
9 |

He turned his kaiila to face the city and it reared and he lifted his shield on his left arm and his lance in his right fist. |

In an instant we were embroiled among angry men—the half-formed, disorganized Hundreds of the Paravaci—striking to the left and right, shouting the war cry of the Tuchuks. |

We left them facing one another, cursing, while we moved slowly back through our bosk, keeping them as a shield. |

I looked to the left and right over the torn, bloody barricade of wagons, at the remains of my men, wounded and exhausted, many of them lying on the barricade or on the ground behind it, trying to gain but a moment's respite. |
9 |

I listened, but seemed to hear only the maddeningly intensifying thunder of the Paravaci kaiila sweeping towards us, but then I heard, from the far left and right, the sound of distant bosk horns. |
9 |

"Look!" cried Harold, sweeping his hand to the left and right. |

Suddenly rising over the crest of rolling hills, like black floods, from both the left and the right, I saw on racing kaiila what must have been thousands of warriors, thousands upon thousands. |

And even the sky seemed dark for a moment as, from the left and right, thousands upon thousands of arrows fell like dark rain among the startled, stumbling, turning Paravaci. |

"No," said Hakimba, "we sent riders to Turia even as we left our own camp. |

"Those that pleased us—both of goods and women," remarked Conrad, "we carried off—of goods that did not please us, we burned them—of women that did not please us, we left them stripped and weeping among the wagons". |
9 |

I left the kaiila with the Tuchuks and mounted my tarn, and, in less than an Ahn, saw the shimmering walls of Turia in the distance, and the veils of smoke rising over the city. |
9 |
| 24 | 23 |
Kamchak's forces, on the whole, were so disposed as to push the Turians toward two gates which he had left open and undefended, thus providing a route of escape for civilians and soldiers who would make use of it. |

I nodded curtly and turned and left the room, dismissed. |

Then he got up, wiped his quiva on his left sleeve, and thrust it in his belt. |

Muttering I jerked loose the reins of my kaiila from the column to which I had tethered it, leaped to the saddle and raced after Harold, not wishing to be left behind somewhere in the streets of Turia or among the dark wagons beyond the gate, pounding on wagon after wagon to find which one might be ... |
