Details

Details
10
6 4 The temperature of the water which sprang from the wall tap, I learned, was regulated by the direction in which the shadow of a hand fell across a light-sensitive cell above the tap; the amount of water was correlated with the speed with which the hand passed before the sensor.

10
7 1 I Hunt for Priest-Kings In spite of Vika's protests it was with a light heart that I strode into the passageway beyond her chamber.

Details
10
21 66 His abdomen, drained of Gur, was now normal and he stalked regally to the door, moving on those light, feathery feet with the delicate steps of one of nature's masters.
Details
10
21 70 In the light of the last torches which left the chamber I could see that there remained one Priest-King who, though emptied of Gur, still clung to the ceiling.
Details
10
22 159 In the blue torchlight I examined the blade and the light coat of oil that protected it.
Details
10
23 50 It was a long, eerie search, in the blue light of the Mul-Torch, thrusting it into one crevice and another, trying one passage and then the next.
Details

Details
10
25 126 The light pouring through the grille formed a reticulated pattern of shadows on her body.
Details
10
25 141 As she gazed upon me her eyes held a strange light which I did not understand.
Details
10
26 265 Perhaps if she were thrown by her hair to the back of the cave and raped on furs in the light of the animal fire at its mouth this would have been to her little more than the proof of her mate's regard for her, the expected culmination of her innate desire to be dominated and his.
Details
10
28 38 Al-Ka looked at me in the light of the hanging torches.
Details
10
28 41 "I admire them," said Al-Ka, "for they can see a thousand yards in the darkness by the light of a single Mul-Torch and they can live on a handful of fungus and a swallow of water a day and they are very brave and proud".

Details
10
29 150 Feeling what seemed to be a blank area of the ceiling of the control area I fired a blast upward, using the simple expedient of the tube to open a hole in the craft through which light might enter.
Details
10
29 151 In the light which now entered the control area I examined the controls.
Details
10

10
9 209 Over the veil I could now see two dark, deep, almond-shaped eyes; her skin, what I could see of it, was lovely and clear; her complexion was not so light as that of Miss Cardwell, but was lighter than that of the girl Hereena, of the First Wagon.
Details

10
17 8 The light in the room came, interestingly, from behind a translucent blue ceiling, probably being furnished by energy bulbs.
Details
10
17 9 Saphrar was a rich man indeed to have energy bulbs in his home; few Goreans can afford such a luxury; and, indeed, few care to, for Goreans, for some reason, are fond of the light of flame, lamps and torches and such; flames must be made, tended, watched; they are more beautiful, more alive.
