"It was done to me by the slave master of Ligurious, on the orders of Ligurious," she said. |
10 |
| 34 | 1 |
Ligurious is Served by Two Slaves I lay naked on the couch of Ligurious, in the palace in Argentum. |
10 |
| 3 | 399 |
"I am the slave of Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus," she said. |
10 |
| 3 | 531 |
"My Master is Ligurious, of the city of Corcyrus," she said. |
10 |
| 3 | 554 |
Her master was Ligurious, of this city, said to be Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 3 | 578 |
"Ligurious, my master, has told me," she said. |
10 |
| 3 | 647 |
"It is Ligurious, my Master," said the girl, her head now down to the floor, the palms of her hands on the tiles. |
10 |
| 3 | 739 |
"Who is she? Where am I? What am I doing here? What do you want of me?" "I am Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus," he said. |
10 |
| 3 | 744 |
"I mean, who is Ligurious? Who are you? I have never heard of you". |
10 |
| 3 | 821 |
Then I looked into the eyes of Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 3 | 824 |
Ligurious then turned and left the room. |
10 |
| 3 | 830 |
I did not wish to displease Ligurious. |
10 |
| 3 | 839 |
"Mistress understands, surely," said the girl, in misery, "that I must make reports to Ligurious, my master". |
10 |
| 3 | 1042 |
I was terrified of Ligurious. |
10 |
| 3 | 1075 |
"Am I to report to my master, Ligurious," asked the girl, "that Mistress did not finish her breakfast?" "No," I said. |
10 |
| 4 | 15 |
Always, in these things, Ligurious, happily, unobtrusively, was at my side. |
10 |
| 4 | 52 |
I did try to explain the matter to her, as Ligurious had explained it to me, when I had asked him about it. |
10 |
| 4 | 54 |
A Tatrix, Ligurious had informed me, has no secrets from her people. |
10 |
| 4 | 57 |
I had wondered if Ligurious was being candid with me. |
10 |
| 4 | 59 |
Indeed, only this morning I, unveiled, in a large, open, silken palanquin, borne by slaves, Ligurious at my side, had been carried through the streets of Corcyrus, behind trumpets and drums, flanked by guards, through cheering crowds. |
10 |
| 4 | 60 |
"Your people love you," had said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 62 |
I had done these things with graciousness and dignity, as I had been instructed to do by Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 68 |
"It is good for you to appear before the people," had said Ligurious, "given the trouble with Argentum". |
10 |
| 4 | 76 |
Perhaps it was traditional, I gathered, as I had been informed by Ligurious, that this was the fashion in which the Tatrix appeared before her people. |
10 |
| 4 | 84 |
"Do not mind such women," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 93 |
"Smile," suggested Ligurious, himself lifting his hand graciously to the crowd. |
10 |
| 4 | 108 |
"More slaves," explained Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 130 |
"Put them from your mind," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 135 |
"The people love you," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 164 |
"Is anything amiss, my Tatrix?" inquired Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 167 |
I hoped that my condition was not evident to the stern, practical Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 4 | 179 |
"Silence!" said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 181 |
"Not forever will the citizens of Corcyrus brook the outrages of the palace!" "Treason!" cried Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 184 |
"This man is a babbling lunatic," said Ligurious to me. |
10 |
| 4 | 187 |
"Bind him," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 197 |
"Obviously it was his intention to do harm to his Tatrix," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 200 |
"On a woman's throat," said Ligurious, coldly, "a man's hands need rest but a moment for dire work to be done". |
10 |
| 4 | 202 |
I did not doubt but what Ligurious was right. |
10 |
| 4 | 205 |
"I wish you no harm, Lady," said he, surlily, "save that you might get what you deserve, a collar in the lowest slave hole on Gor!" "It is treason," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 208 |
"That the truth might be spoken in Corcyrus," he said, "that the misery and anger of the people might be declared!" "Prepare his neck," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 212 |
"Free him! Let him go!" "Tatrix!" protested Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 217 |
The face of Ligurious was expressionless. |
10 |
| 4 | 227 |
Then this silence was broken by the voice of Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 232 |
"Is there anything to what the fellow said?" I asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 233 |
"Is there unrest in Corcyrus? Is there some discontentment among our citizens?" "You have surely received the reports of our officers," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 235 |
"Heed them, then," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 238 |
"Do not pay attention to the babblings of lunatics," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 242 |
"No," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 251 |
"You are loved," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 256 |
"You did make a mistake," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 258 |
"What was that?" I asked, waving to the crowd, speaking to Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 264 |
"Of course," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 268 |
"May I present to you Drusus Rencius, Lady Sheila, my sovereign, he who is first sword among our guards?" Ligurious had inquired several days ago. |
10 |
| 4 | 270 |
"Various mercenaries are within our services," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 273 |
"Ar, Lady," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 275 |
"Drusus Rencius is a renegade, Lady," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 287 |
"He is to be your personal guard," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 289 |
"Yes, Lady," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 305 |
His skills with the sword, I suppose, had been what had called him to the attention of Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 311 |
"The guard for a Tatrix," I said to Ligurious, "must be more resplendent". |
10 |
| 4 | 314 |
Ligurious had then left. |
10 |
| 4 | 349 |
"I am the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I had said to Ligurious, in the palanquin. |
10 |
| 4 | 360 |
"Certain traditions customarily govern the calendar of the Tatrix," Ligurious had informed me. |
10 |
| 4 | 362 |
The matters to be discussed in certain of these meetings, however, I had learned from Ligurious, were actually too trivial to warrant the attention of the Tatrix. |
10 |
| 4 | 367 |
"It is fitting that the proprieties of Corcyrus be respected by her Tatrix, even when they might appear arbitrary," had said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 373 |
Ligurious, first minister of the city, even, had assured me of the reality of this dignity. |
10 |
| 4 | 376 |
"I am the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I had told Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 410 |
In this one was Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 416 |
Ligurious held the coverlet with his right hand, holding it together, holding me in place, helplessly within it. |
10 |
| 4 | 427 |
How strange are dreams! "I think she will do very nicely," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 429 |
Ligurious moved his right hand, grasping the rim of the coverlet, tight about my breasts. |
10 |
| 4 | 433 |
"You are not so clever as you think, Ligurious," she said. |
10 |
| 4 | 434 |
"Do you think I do not see that you, in stripping her, would be, in effect, and to your lust and amusement, stripping me, and before my very eyes?" "Forgive me," smiled Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 4 | 452 |
"No," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 468 |
The contrast, I realized, had been clear, I helpless, sobbing under the domination of Ligurious, little better than a slave, and she above me, far superior to me, haughty, decisive, imperious, cold and powerful. |
10 |
| 4 | 577 |
"Those of Ligurious," he said. |
10 |
| 4 | 599 |
"Call Ligurious!" I said. |
10 |
| 4 | 659 |
I was angry with Ligurious. |
10 |
| 4 | 666 |
I wondered what it would be to be the woman of a man such as Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 1 |
Miles of Argentum; Drusus Rencius Speculates on What I Might Bring as a Slave; I Have Obtained Greater Freedoms "The arrogant knave now approaching the throne," said Ligurious, whispering in my ear, "is Miles, an ambassador, and general, from Argentum". |
10 |
| 5 | 7 |
"The men behind him," said Ligurious, "carry chests, filled with riches, to sue for your favor". |
10 |
| 5 | 9 |
"Brush back your robes a bit, so that he may better see you," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 11 |
"Allow me," said Ligurious, "as these matters may be sensitive, to conduct this audience". |
10 |
| 5 | 13 |
I was relieved that Ligurious would do this for me. |
10 |
| 5 | 16 |
Ligurious would know what to do. |
10 |
| 5 | 28 |
"The throne of Corcyrus," said Ligurious, "greets the ambassador from Argentum, Miles, general of Argentum". |
10 |
| 5 | 30 |
"But do you not accept them for yourself, as well?" inquired Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 32 |
"Beware the quickness of your tongue," said Ligurious, "for you rant now not in one of Argentum's taverns but in Corcyrus, and before the throne of her Tatrix". |
10 |
| 5 | 33 |
"Forgive me, noble Ligurious," said Miles. |
10 |
| 5 | 47 |
"Your scrolls have been examined," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 54 |
Excerpts had been read to me, with criticism, by Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 64 |
"It is fortunate for Corcyrus, and for peace," said Ligurious, "that he with whom we truly have to deal is not Miles, general of Argentum, but with Claudius, her Ubar. |
10 |
| 5 | 69 |
"Yet," smiled Ligurious, "it seems that men with you have brought chests, bound with bands of iron, and intricately wrought coffers, to the foot of our throne". |
10 |
| 5 | 72 |
"If the gifts are suitable," said Ligurious, "our Tatrix, after the cession of the mines, may be moved to deal somewhat less harshly with the miscreants of Argentum". |
10 |
| 5 | 74 |
Ligurious inclined his head, acknowledging these words graciously. |
10 |
| 5 | 77 |
"I see," said Ligurious, lightly, "that you bring with you no male silk slaves, in chains, to be presented to the Tatrix". |
10 |
| 5 | 79 |
"Beware," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 87 |
"You may now open the chests and coffers," said Ligurious, eyeing them with interest. |
10 |
| 5 | 88 |
"How is it," inquired Miles, "that the Tatrix of Corcyrus goes unveiled?" "It is custom," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 90 |
"Every custom has its beginning," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 96 |
"Interest?" asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 98 |
"I think it is time," said Ligurious, "that you should improve your service to your Ubar. |
10 |
| 5 | 106 |
"Open the chests and coffers," said Ligurious, menacingly. |
10 |
| 5 | 109 |
"Let us see what Claudius has sent us," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 151 |
Where was my pride and freedom! "Let us see," insisted Ligurious, "what Claudius has sent us". |
10 |
| 5 | 156 |
Ligurious, and I, and the others, leaned forward, to glimpse the contents of these chests and coffers. |
10 |
| 5 | 159 |
"Nothing!" cried Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 160 |
"There is nothing in them!" "And that," said Miles of Argentum, "is what Claudius, Ubar of Argentum, sends to Corcyrus!" "Insolence!" cried Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 167 |
"You have insulted our Tatrix," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 191 |
"Do you think there will be trouble?" I asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 196 |
"He is a hothead," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 199 |
"Do not worry about it in the least," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 205 |
"What did you think of Miles of Argentum?" asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 207 |
"I see," smiled Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 209 |
At the words of Ligurious there was a small sound from the chain of Susan. |
10 |
| 5 | 211 |
"Surely you saw her," said Ligurious, "when she knew herself to be under the gaze of the sleen from Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 216 |
Surely I could not admit to Ligurious that I, too, had been made uneasy by the presence of the ambassador from Argentum. |
10 |
| 5 | 217 |
"True," laughed Ligurious. |
10 |
| 5 | 220 |
I nodded, permitting Ligurious to take his leave. |
10 |
| 5 | 292 |
I had had matters out with Ligurious earlier, about such things as the barring on my door. |
10 |
| 6 | 458 |
I could have my vengeance on him! I could tell Ligurious that he had become fresh with me, that he had dared to try to kiss me. |
10 |
| 6 | 688 |
"If Lady Sheila is dissatisfied with my services," he said, "she need only call this to the attention of Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 9 | 48 |
"Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus," announced a voice, that of a guard. |
10 |
| 9 | 50 |
The door opened and Ligurious, with his imposing stature, yet leonine grace, entered. |
10 |
| 9 | 53 |
I wondered if Ligurious's slave master required this position of all of his women. |
10 |
| 9 | 55 |
Ligurious looked down at her, irritably. |
10 |
| 9 | 65 |
"Tonight," said Ligurious, "I will give her to guardsmen. |
10 |
| 9 | 74 |
"I have come to report another glorious victory," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 77 |
"You have been examining maps?" inquired Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 84 |
"Those will be guardsmen," said Ligurious, "issuing forth to disperse the rabble". |
10 |
| 9 | 88 |
"Those are small groups of dissidents," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 98 |
Ligurious had been in the palanquin with me. |
10 |
| 9 | 103 |
Ligurious was silent. |
10 |
| 9 | 105 |
"Our generals did not feel it was necessary," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 107 |
"Yes," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 110 |
"Yes, my Tatrix," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 112 |
"Yes, my Tatrix," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 114 |
"It is part of a plan, my Tatrix," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 122 |
"There are none in the palace," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 9 | 124 |
"In a time of conflict," said Ligurious, "there are always some privations". |
10 |
| 9 | 144 |
"Did Ligurious speak to you?" I asked. |
10 |
| 9 | 150 |
"I did not ask Ligurious to have you punished. |
10 |
| 9 | 187 |
But a man such as Ligurious had bought her naked off a slave block in Cos. |
10 |
| 9 | 209 |
"Ligurious has several women," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 215 |
"What is it like to be in the arms of a man such as Ligurious?" I asked, as though not much interested, really. |
10 |
| 9 | 219 |
"I did not know that Ligurious was coming to your quarters. |
10 |
| 9 | 250 |
"It will not be necessary to inform Ligurious of this action on your part," I said. |
10 |
| 10 | 14 |
Things in Corcyrus, it seemed, were much as Ligurious had assured me. |
10 |
| 10 | 176 |
These spies, if, indeed, there were any, must be reporting to someone else, perhaps to Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 1 |
Susan Has Been Beaten; Ligurious Speaks with Me; There is Nothing to Fear; I am Safe in the Palace I was thrust into my quarters by a guard, and the door was shut behind me. |
10 |
| 11 | 18 |
"Because I did not inform Ligurious that you had had Drusus Rencius summoned tonight to your quarters". |
10 |
| 11 | 22 |
It had been I, I recalled, in the prosecution of my own plans, and in my desire for secrecy, who had suggested to Susan that the summoning of Drusus Rencius to my quarters need not be made known to Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 29 |
Ligurious apparently had been disturbed, particularly that I had left the palace. |
10 |
| 11 | 33 |
"Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus," announced a guard, from the other side of the door. |
10 |
| 11 | 37 |
Ligurious entered. |
10 |
| 11 | 38 |
Susan, frightened, with an effort that must have been painful for her striped body, knelt, with her head down to the tiles, the palms of her hands on the floor, in that form of obeisance apparently required by Ligurious of his women. |
10 |
| 11 | 39 |
"To your kennel, Slave," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 44 |
"You are up late," observed Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 66 |
"He has been relieved of his duties," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 72 |
"And I cannot say that I blame him," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 171 |
What insanities, what perversions, what sickness, I had been taught on Earth! "Ah, forgive me, Lady Sheila," said Ligurious, as though concerned. |
10 |
| 11 | 175 |
Ligurious bowed to me, from the waist, as though in deep apology. |
10 |
| 11 | 225 |
"I am afraid, Ligurious," I said. |
10 |
| 11 | 235 |
Ligurious looked at me and, suddenly, laughed. |
10 |
| 11 | 239 |
"Yes," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 241 |
"Everything is planned for," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 244 |
"That decision is not yours," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 246 |
"Of course," smiled Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 248 |
"Of course," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 250 |
"Yes," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 11 | 252 |
"I do," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 1 |
I Sit upon the Throne; I Wait in the Hall "Dress her in her most regal robes," commanded Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 20 |
Shortly thereafter Ligurious and Susan had arrived at my quarters. |
10 |
| 12 | 21 |
Ligurious wore soldierly garb, but of a sort with which I was not familiar. |
10 |
| 12 | 23 |
"Put her in the veil of state," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 32 |
"Come along," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 35 |
Falling in behind Ligurious were some five or six men, not my guards, who were dressed much as he was. |
10 |
| 12 | 54 |
A man, dressed rather in the fashion of Ligurious and the others, was lifting a sheet about her. |
10 |
| 12 | 59 |
Ligurious turned me, so that I faced the door to the great hall, where, on the lofty dais, reposed the throne of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 12 | 60 |
"Is all ready?" asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 62 |
"The tarns?" asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 74 |
It was a slave collar and leash! Ligurious took me by the arm and turned me about, again, facing me toward the door to the great hall. |
10 |
| 12 | 75 |
I did not know who the woman was, but I suspected that she might be she with whom Ligurious had confessed himself to be so smitten, she to whom I apparently bore some resemblance. |
10 |
| 12 | 76 |
It seemed odd to me, almost incomprehensible, that Ligurious, a man such as he, who must have had some fifty women at his feet, women such as Susan, women kneeling in terror and awe about him, for he was their total master, should be so much like a callow youth, should be so weak, with this woman. |
10 |
| 12 | 77 |
Did he not know, I asked myself, scornfully, that she, too, ultimately, was only a woman, that she, too, ultimately, needed only the whip and a master? I was then conducted into the great hall by Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 88 |
I ascended the steps of the dais, conducted by Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 90 |
"The doors of the anteroom will be locked behind us," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 93 |
"You will soon serve your purpose," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 12 | 97 |
I did recall that last night I had been assured that everything had been planned for, that all contingencies, according to Ligurious, had been anticipated. |
10 |
| 12 | 102 |
I was afraid as to what might prove to be my fate if a man such as Ligurious no longer had any particular or special use for me. |
10 |
| 12 | 127 |
I heard the closing of the anteroom door behind Ligurious, and then the dropping in place of beams, the sliding of bolts. |
10 |
| 13 | 48 |
She was absolutely naked, save that she still wore the collar of Ligurious. |
10 |
| 13 | 75 |
She did not know then if, when the collar of Ligurious was removed from her, she would be sent to his headquarters or not. |
10 |
| 13 | 88 |
Twice, I knew, suddenly realizing it now, he could have stolen me from Corcyrus, delivering me to Argentum, once when we were on the walls near the tarn perches and once, later, when, my whereabouts unknown to Ligurious and others, I had been in the house of Kliomenes, braceleted, half naked and hel... |
10 |
| 13 | 133 |
"Will you come back for me?" I had asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 13 | 142 |
Ligurious and the woman, and the others, had doubtless, by now, on tarns, made good their escape. |
10 |
| 13 | 147 |
The words of Ligurious, that I would be come for, now took on a new and frightful meaning for me. |
10 |
| 17 | 96 |
For some reason Ligurious had seemed to think it fitting that I be kept that way. |
10 |
| 27 | 78 |
* * * * I knelt before him, my head down, the palms of my hands on the tiles, in the fashion which Ligurious had required of his girls. |
10 |
| 30 | 534 |
The experience which I had originally taken to be a dream, when I had been drugged, early in my stay in Corcyrus, I now understood had probably not been a dream at all, but my recollection of being inspected, in my half-conscious, drugged state, by Ligurious and Sheila. |
10 |
| 30 | 549 |
Ligurious had, once or twice, told me as much. |
10 |
| 30 | 554 |
In the great hall, before his departure, Ligurious had told me that I would soon serve my purpose. |
10 |
| 30 | 559 |
If things should go badly in Corcyrus for Ligurious and the Tatrix, if the people should rise, if the projected war for the mines of Argentum, which must have been truly theirs, turned out badly, they might escape, leaving behind them a pretty little proxy, a naive surrogate, on which enraged multit... |

Thus, instead of the matter of Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, supposedly being concluded with an impalement on the walls of Argentum, following which Ligurious and the real Sheila, under new identities, and doubtless with salvaged riches, might proceed almost wherever they might please, an intensiv... |
10 |
| 30 | 569 |
Ligurious and Sheila had expected me to be identified as the Tatrix and shipped under lock and key to Argentum, there to be impaled; they had not expected me to escape; they had not counted on sleen. |
10 |
| 30 | 571 |
I thought of the impaling spear and regardless of what she was, or might have been, or what she and Ligurious might have intended for my fate, I could not help but feel sorry for her. |
10 |
| 32 | 52 |
"It is I, Ligurious, once first minister of Corcyrus". |
10 |
| 32 | 71 |
"I have not been captured," said Ligurious, "nor have I entered the palace surreptitiously. |
10 |
| 32 | 129 |
"No!" cried Ligurious. |
10 |
| 32 | 134 |
The hands of Ligurious fumbled at the cords on her ankles, and then on her hands. |
10 |
| 32 | 166 |
Ligurious tore the gag from her. |
10 |
| 32 | 169 |
"I am Ligurious!" "Yes, Master," she said. |
10 |
| 32 | 185 |
Ligurious was truly a master; he had proved this with other women; similarly, in most circumstances, had he so much as snapped his fingers at me, I would have thrown my legs apart for him; this was not the modality though, for whatever reason, in which he related to this other woman; he seemed to se... |
10 |
| 32 | 191 |
Ligurious, to his fury, as a timid swain, would never get a hundredth from her of what Hassan, her master, might command with a casual word. |
10 |
| 32 | 207 |
In a moment Ligurious had freed my ankles of the thong that fastened me to the slave ring and dragged me by the arm across the tiles to the golden sack. |
10 |
| 32 | 245 |
"Where is Ligurious?" I asked, frightened. |
10 |
| 32 | 249 |
Indeed, I have been keeping a close eye on Ligurious ever since I discovered he was in the palace. |
10 |
| 32 | 254 |
"It is intended," I said, "that the cohorts of Ligurious detain Hassan, and prevent him from attending the banquet". |
10 |
| 33 | 7 |
Miles of Argentum was there, and Drusus Rencius, and Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 20 |
At this table, too, sat Ligurious, Miles of Argentum and Drusus Rencius. |
10 |
| 33 | 26 |
Even Ligurious, I noted, politely joined in the applause. |
10 |
| 33 | 53 |
I saw Ligurious smile. |
10 |
| 33 | 55 |
"Ligurious," said Claudius, turning to him. |
10 |
| 33 | 56 |
Ligurious rose, and walked about the table, to stand before it, and near the sack. |
10 |
| 33 | 57 |
"Many of you know me," said Ligurious, "if only by reputation, as the former first minister of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 33 | 68 |
"Thank you, noble Ligurious," said Claudius. |
10 |
| 33 | 74 |
Ligurious looked down, smiling. |
10 |
| 33 | 77 |
"Let the sack be opened!" Ligurious looked about himself, pleased. |
10 |
| 33 | 80 |
Ligurious looked about. |
10 |
| 33 | 91 |
Ligurious then, perhaps curious, regarded her closely. |
10 |
| 33 | 100 |
"No, no!" said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 104 |
"I do not know!" said Ligurious, looking wildly about. |
10 |
| 33 | 127 |
"He has never seen her!" shouted Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 129 |
"But from false clothing!" cried Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 131 |
Ligurious looked down, confused. |
10 |
| 33 | 146 |
"There," cried Ligurious in triumph, "that is the true Sheila, the true Tatrix of Corcyrus!" "Do you not think you should examine her somewhat more closely?" asked Drusus Rencius. |
10 |
| 33 | 147 |
Ligurious threw him a look of hatred and then came closer to me. |
10 |
| 33 | 173 |
"Yes," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 241 |
"Mistresses sometimes have different relationships to their serving slaves, or friends, than they do to others," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 244 |
"Perhaps," said Ligurious, angrily. |
10 |
| 33 | 314 |
"I call now my fourth witness," said Miles of Argentum, "Ligurious, former first minister of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 33 | 317 |
Ligurious". |
10 |
| 33 | 318 |
Ligurious unhesitantly pointed to me. |
10 |
| 33 | 334 |
I think that I, and many others, including yourself, were confused and misled by the brilliance of Ligurious, Corcyrus's first minister. |
10 |
| 33 | 339 |
The true Tatrix, meanwhile, eluded us, escaping in the company of Ligurious and others". |
10 |
| 33 | 340 |
"Ligurious?" asked Miles. |
10 |
| 33 | 341 |
"Preposterous," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 370 |
"In making this identification," said Drusus Rencius, "I do no more than acknowledge that I was once the dupe of Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 371 |
Can you not see? He is making fools of us all!" Ligurious looked down, as though grieved by some irresponsible and absurd outburst. |
10 |
| 33 | 375 |
What sort of evidence would you wish? How do we know, for example, that you are really Drusus Rencius, a captain from Ar? Or that I am Miles, a general from Argentum? Or that he is Ligurious, who was the first minister in Corcyrus? How do we know anyone in this room is who we think? Perhaps we are a... |
10 |
| 33 | 388 |
I, too, in my way, had been a mere dupe of Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 413 |
"May I speak?" inquired Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 438 |
Much of what Ligurious, the former first minister of Corcyrus, has told you is true, for example, about sleen, and their limitations and utilities. |
10 |
| 33 | 444 |
"She whom you claim is the former Tatrix," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 454 |
"I, too, have clothing from Corcyrus," said Ligurious, "but it is authentic clothing, clothing actually once worn by the true Tatrix of Corcyrus". |
10 |
| 33 | 456 |
"I will be back shortly," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 458 |
In a few Ehn Hassan and Ligurious had returned. |
10 |
| 33 | 497 |
How they can do with us whatever they wish! "The clothing with which the sleen was put on the scent of the woman on our right could have been imbued with her scent at any time, of course," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 502 |
I watched in horror as Ligurious tossed the clothing, piece by piece, to one of the sleen keepers. |
10 |
| 33 | 506 |
"It is," Ligurious assured him. |
10 |
| 33 | 508 |
"Surely you recognize that garment?" asked Ligurious, indicating a purple robe with golden trim, and a golden belt. |
10 |
| 33 | 511 |
"By you," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 513 |
"But she did not wear it long, did she?" asked Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 518 |
These garments, Ligurious had informed me in the throne room of Argentum, before placing me in the golden sack, from which I had been rescued by Drusus Rencius, had been smuggled out of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 33 | 551 |
I was not a warrior! I was a girl, and a slave! "Thus, you see," said Ligurious, "who was the true Tatrix of Corcyrus". |
10 |
| 33 | 553 |
"Examine the seals," said Ligurious, triumphantly. |
10 |
| 33 | 557 |
"The seal broken from the package of Ligurious," he said, "is the seal of Corcyrus". |
10 |
| 33 | 559 |
"Perhaps you will be given two Ahn in which to leave Argentum," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 561 |
"It, too, doubtless, will bear the same seal as was on the package," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 563 |
"I, too, have such a letter, but a genuine one," said Ligurious, "describing and authenticating the garments I have produced for you. |
10 |
| 33 | 569 |
"The descriptions tally with the garments brought to us by Ligurious," said one of the members of the high council. |
10 |
| 33 | 570 |
"Who has signed the letter?" inquired Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 575 |
"Who would dare to gainsay me in this?" inquired Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 580 |
Ligurious staggered backwards. |
10 |
| 33 | 581 |
"My dear Ligurious," said Menicius, "your confederate in Corcyrus is now in custody. |
10 |
| 33 | 587 |
He was the man whose life I had spared, when he had spoken out so forcibly against the Tatrix, on that day, so long ago, when I had been in the palanquin with Ligurious, that day in which, in the glory of a state procession, we had been carried through the streets of Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 33 | 589 |
"I was interested to hear that you were the leader of the opposition to the rule of the Tatrix," said Menicius to Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 591 |
Ligurious looked about himself. |
10 |
| 33 | 595 |
Two guardsmen moved swiftly to Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 601 |
Presumably it had been taken by Ligurious in his flight from the city. |
10 |
| 33 | 604 |
Ligurious, shackled, looked down at the tiles. |
10 |
| 33 | 629 |
"Admit nothing!" called Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 632 |
She then, a slave, obeyed Ligurious, a free man. |
10 |
| 33 | 689 |
Ligurious was looking at the tiles. |
10 |
| 33 | 691 |
"Ligurious?" asked Claudius. |
10 |
| 33 | 692 |
"I know nothing of these things," said Ligurious, shrugging. |
10 |
| 33 | 721 |
"Be silent!" said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 733 |
"Fool!" cried Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 741 |
"Fool!" cried Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 744 |
"Be silent!" said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 791 |
"Ligurious?" asked Claudius. |
10 |
| 33 | 804 |
By means of the wealth of beasts and the influence of Ligurious, the first minister of Corcyrus, I was brought to power in Corcyrus. |
10 |
| 33 | 805 |
There, supported by the influence and wealth of beasts, and abetted by Ligurious, I ruled. |
10 |
| 33 | 811 |
Ligurious, against his better judgment, at least initially, pleaded my case with beasts and protected me from them, convincing them to accept my proposals. |
10 |
| 33 | 812 |
Ligurious was smitten with me. |
10 |
| 33 | 819 |
I looked at Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 823 |
Thus, through Ligurious, an order was placed with the beasts, that a double might be obtained for me. |
10 |
| 33 | 833 |
Defeated in war and in the face of an uprising, too, within our own city, Ligurious and I, with some others, fled. |
10 |
| 33 | 857 |
Claudius then regarded Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 866 |
"True," said Ligurious, "but only at the cost of sacrificing the honor of Argentum". |
10 |
| 33 | 867 |
Claudius looked at Ligurious. |
10 |
| 33 | 869 |
"Ligurious, it is true," said Claudius, "came to us a free man, of his own will. |
10 |
| 33 | 877 |
Ligurious smiled. |
10 |
| 33 | 883 |
Two soldiers seized Ligurious by the arms. |
10 |
| 33 | 884 |
"We have matters to inquire into," said Claudius to Ligurious, "and resolutions to be made. |
10 |
| 33 | 888 |
"Such a reservation is fully in accord with our original arrangements," said Ligurious loftily. |
10 |
| 33 | 892 |
At a gesture from Claudius, Ligurious was conducted from the room. |
10 |
| 33 | 896 |
"I feel sorry for him in a way," said Claudius, looking after Ligurious. |
10 |
| 34 | 9 |
This was the last evening Ligurious was to spend in Argentum. |
10 |
| 34 | 35 |
Ligurious indicated that she should enter. |
10 |
| 34 | 43 |
"Kneel, Slave," said Ligurious, defining the relationship between them. |
10 |
| 34 | 92 |
"Whip," said Ligurious. |
10 |
| 34 | 97 |
"Face that direction," said Ligurious, pointing. |
10 |
| 34 | 109 |
Sheila, who had once been the Tatrix of Corcyrus, now a slave girl, lay at the feet of Ligurious, who had once been her first minister, positioned. |
10 |
| 34 | 130 |
Sheila was on her side, her body flaming with burning stripes; she was gasping and sobbing; she looked wildly up at Ligurious, a Gorean master. |
10 |
| 34 | 138 |
Ligurious turned to face me. |
10 |
| 34 | 167 |
Ligurious, Sheila in his arms, looked over at me. |
10 |
| 34 | 178 |
"A fortunate man am I," said Ligurious, "to be served by two Tatrices". |
10 |
| 34 | 204 |
"Yes," said Ligurious, "that sort of thing, precisely, and well would you have served such purposes had you not managed to escape from the camp of Argentum". |
10 |
| 36 | 39 |
Five days ago Ligurious had left. |
10 |
| 36 | 601 |
"As Sheila, who was the true Tatrix of Corcyrus, was to Ligurious, so, too, are you to me!" he said. |
10 |
