11 16 "It was done to me by the slave master of Ligurious, on the orders of Ligurious," she said.
Details
10
34 1 Ligurious is Served by Two Slaves I lay naked on the couch of Ligurious, in the palace in Argentum.
Details
10
3 399 "I am the slave of Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus," she said.
Details
10
3 531 "My Master is Ligurious, of the city of Corcyrus," she said.
Details
10
3 554 Her master was Ligurious, of this city, said to be Corcyrus.
Details
10
3 578 "Ligurious, my master, has told me," she said.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
3 744 "I mean, who is Ligurious? Who are you? I have never heard of you".
Details
10
3 821 Then I looked into the eyes of Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus.
Details
10
3 824 Ligurious then turned and left the room.
Details
10
3 830 I did not wish to displease Ligurious.
Details
10
3 839 "Mistress understands, surely," said the girl, in misery, "that I must make reports to Ligurious, my master".
Details
10
3 1042 I was terrified of Ligurious.
Details
10
3 1075 "Am I to report to my master, Ligurious," asked the girl, "that Mistress did not finish her breakfast?" "No," I said.
Details
10
4 15 Always, in these things, Ligurious, happily, unobtrusively, was at my side.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 54 A Tatrix, Ligurious had informed me, has no secrets from her people.
Details
10
4 57 I had wondered if Ligurious was being candid with me.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 60 "Your people love you," had said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 62 I had done these things with graciousness and dignity, as I had been instructed to do by Ligurious.
Details
10
4 68 "It is good for you to appear before the people," had said Ligurious, "given the trouble with Argentum".
Details
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.
Details
10
4 84 "Do not mind such women," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 93 "Smile," suggested Ligurious, himself lifting his hand graciously to the crowd.
Details
10
4 108 "More slaves," explained Ligurious.
Details
10
4 130 "Put them from your mind," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 135 "The people love you," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 164 "Is anything amiss, my Tatrix?" inquired Ligurious.
Details
10
4 167 I hoped that my condition was not evident to the stern, practical Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus.
Details
10
4 179 "Silence!" said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 181 "Not forever will the citizens of Corcyrus brook the outrages of the palace!" "Treason!" cried Ligurious.
Details
10
4 184 "This man is a babbling lunatic," said Ligurious to me.
Details
10
4 187 "Bind him," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 197 "Obviously it was his intention to do harm to his Tatrix," said Ligurious.
Details
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".
Details
10
4 202 I did not doubt but what Ligurious was right.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 212 "Free him! Let him go!" "Tatrix!" protested Ligurious.
Details
10
4 217 The face of Ligurious was expressionless.
Details
10
4 227 Then this silence was broken by the voice of Ligurious.
Details
10
4 232 "Is there anything to what the fellow said?" I asked Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 235 "Heed them, then," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 238 "Do not pay attention to the babblings of lunatics," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 242 "No," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 251 "You are loved," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 256 "You did make a mistake," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 258 "What was that?" I asked, waving to the crowd, speaking to Ligurious.
Details
10
4 264 "Of course," said Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 270 "Various mercenaries are within our services," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 273 "Ar, Lady," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 275 "Drusus Rencius is a renegade, Lady," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 287 "He is to be your personal guard," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 289 "Yes, Lady," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 305 His skills with the sword, I suppose, had been what had called him to the attention of Ligurious.
Details
10
4 311 "The guard for a Tatrix," I said to Ligurious, "must be more resplendent".
Details
10
4 314 Ligurious had then left.
Details
10
4 349 "I am the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I had said to Ligurious, in the palanquin.
Details
10
4 360 "Certain traditions customarily govern the calendar of the Tatrix," Ligurious had informed me.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 373 Ligurious, first minister of the city, even, had assured me of the reality of this dignity.
Details
10
4 376 "I am the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I had told Ligurious.
Details
10
4 410 In this one was Ligurious.
Details
10
4 416 Ligurious held the coverlet with his right hand, holding it together, holding me in place, helplessly within it.
Details
10
4 427 How strange are dreams! "I think she will do very nicely," said Ligurious.
Details
10
4 429 Ligurious moved his right hand, grasping the rim of the coverlet, tight about my breasts.
Details
10
4 433 "You are not so clever as you think, Ligurious," she said.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 452 "No," said Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 577 "Those of Ligurious," he said.
Details
10
4 599 "Call Ligurious!" I said.
Details
10
4 659 I was angry with Ligurious.
Details
10
4 666 I wondered what it would be to be the woman of a man such as Ligurious.
Details
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".
Details
10
5 7 "The men behind him," said Ligurious, "carry chests, filled with riches, to sue for your favor".
Details
10
5 9 "Brush back your robes a bit, so that he may better see you," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 11 "Allow me," said Ligurious, "as these matters may be sensitive, to conduct this audience".
Details
10
5 13 I was relieved that Ligurious would do this for me.
Details
10
5 16 Ligurious would know what to do.
Details
10
5 28 "The throne of Corcyrus," said Ligurious, "greets the ambassador from Argentum, Miles, general of Argentum".
Details
10
5 30 "But do you not accept them for yourself, as well?" inquired Ligurious.
Details
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".
Details
10
5 33 "Forgive me, noble Ligurious," said Miles.
Details
10
5 47 "Your scrolls have been examined," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 54 Excerpts had been read to me, with criticism, by Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
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".
Details
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".
Details
10
5 74 Ligurious inclined his head, acknowledging these words graciously.
Details
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".
Details
10
5 79 "Beware," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 87 "You may now open the chests and coffers," said Ligurious, eyeing them with interest.
Details
10
5 88 "How is it," inquired Miles, "that the Tatrix of Corcyrus goes unveiled?" "It is custom," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 90 "Every custom has its beginning," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 96 "Interest?" asked Ligurious.
Details
10
5 98 "I think it is time," said Ligurious, "that you should improve your service to your Ubar.
Details
10
5 106 "Open the chests and coffers," said Ligurious, menacingly.
Details
10
5 109 "Let us see what Claudius has sent us," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 151 Where was my pride and freedom! "Let us see," insisted Ligurious, "what Claudius has sent us".
Details
10
5 156 Ligurious, and I, and the others, leaned forward, to glimpse the contents of these chests and coffers.
Details
10
5 159 "Nothing!" cried Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
10
5 167 "You have insulted our Tatrix," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 191 "Do you think there will be trouble?" I asked Ligurious.
Details
10
5 196 "He is a hothead," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 199 "Do not worry about it in the least," said Ligurious.
Details
10
5 205 "What did you think of Miles of Argentum?" asked Ligurious.
Details
10
5 207 "I see," smiled Ligurious.
Details
10
5 209 At the words of Ligurious there was a small sound from the chain of Susan.
Details
10
5 211 "Surely you saw her," said Ligurious, "when she knew herself to be under the gaze of the sleen from Argentum.
Details
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.
Details
10
5 217 "True," laughed Ligurious.
Details
10
5 220 I nodded, permitting Ligurious to take his leave.
Details
10
5 292 I had had matters out with Ligurious earlier, about such things as the barring on my door.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
9 48 "Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus," announced a voice, that of a guard.
Details
10
9 50 The door opened and Ligurious, with his imposing stature, yet leonine grace, entered.
Details
10
9 53 I wondered if Ligurious's slave master required this position of all of his women.
Details
10
9 55 Ligurious looked down at her, irritably.
Details
10
9 65 "Tonight," said Ligurious, "I will give her to guardsmen.
Details
10
9 74 "I have come to report another glorious victory," said Ligurious.
Details
10
9 77 "You have been examining maps?" inquired Ligurious.
Details
10
9 84 "Those will be guardsmen," said Ligurious, "issuing forth to disperse the rabble".
Details
10
9 88 "Those are small groups of dissidents," said Ligurious.
Details
10
9 98 Ligurious had been in the palanquin with me.
Details
10
9 103 Ligurious was silent.
Details
10
9 105 "Our generals did not feel it was necessary," said Ligurious.
Details
10
9 107 "Yes," said Ligurious.
Details
10
9 110 "Yes, my Tatrix," said Ligurious.
Details
10
9 112 "Yes, my Tatrix," said Ligurious.
Details
10
9 114 "It is part of a plan, my Tatrix," said Ligurious.
Details
10
9 122 "There are none in the palace," said Ligurious.
Details
10
9 124 "In a time of conflict," said Ligurious, "there are always some privations".
Details
10
9 144 "Did Ligurious speak to you?" I asked.
Details
10
9 150 "I did not ask Ligurious to have you punished.
Details
10
9 187 But a man such as Ligurious had bought her naked off a slave block in Cos.
Details
10
9 209 "Ligurious has several women," she said.
Details
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.
Details
10
9 219 "I did not know that Ligurious was coming to your quarters.
Details
10
9 250 "It will not be necessary to inform Ligurious of this action on your part," I said.
Details
10
10 14 Things in Corcyrus, it seemed, were much as Ligurious had assured me.
Details
10
10 176 These spies, if, indeed, there were any, must be reporting to someone else, perhaps to Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
10
11 18 "Because I did not inform Ligurious that you had had Drusus Rencius summoned tonight to your quarters".
Details
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.
Details
10
11 29 Ligurious apparently had been disturbed, particularly that I had left the palace.
Details
10
11 33 "Ligurious, first minister of Corcyrus," announced a guard, from the other side of the door.
Details
10
11 37 Ligurious entered.
Details
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.
Details
10
11 39 "To your kennel, Slave," said Ligurious.
Details
10
11 44 "You are up late," observed Ligurious.
Details
10
11 66 "He has been relieved of his duties," said Ligurious.
Details
10
11 72 "And I cannot say that I blame him," said Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
10
11 175 Ligurious bowed to me, from the waist, as though in deep apology.
Details
10
11 225 "I am afraid, Ligurious," I said.
Details
10
11 235 Ligurious looked at me and, suddenly, laughed.
Details
10
11 239 "Yes," said Ligurious.
Details
10
11 241 "Everything is planned for," said Ligurious.
Details
10
11 244 "That decision is not yours," said Ligurious.
Details
10
11 246 "Of course," smiled Ligurious.
Details
10
11 248 "Of course," said Ligurious.
Details
10
11 250 "Yes," said Ligurious.
Details
10
11 252 "I do," said Ligurious.
Details
10
12 1 I Sit upon the Throne; I Wait in the Hall "Dress her in her most regal robes," commanded Ligurious.
Details
10
12 20 Shortly thereafter Ligurious and Susan had arrived at my quarters.
Details
10
12 21 Ligurious wore soldierly garb, but of a sort with which I was not familiar.
Details
10
12 23 "Put her in the veil of state," said Ligurious.
Details
10
12 32 "Come along," said Ligurious.
Details
10
12 35 Falling in behind Ligurious were some five or six men, not my guards, who were dressed much as he was.
Details
10
12 54 A man, dressed rather in the fashion of Ligurious and the others, was lifting a sheet about her.
Details
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.
Details
10
12 60 "Is all ready?" asked Ligurious.
Details
10
12 62 "The tarns?" asked Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
12 88 I ascended the steps of the dais, conducted by Ligurious.
Details
10
12 90 "The doors of the anteroom will be locked behind us," said Ligurious.
Details
10
12 93 "You will soon serve your purpose," said Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
13 48 She was absolutely naked, save that she still wore the collar of Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
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...
Details
10
13 133 "Will you come back for me?" I had asked Ligurious.
Details
10
13 142 Ligurious and the woman, and the others, had doubtless, by now, on tarns, made good their escape.
Details
10
13 147 The words of Ligurious, that I would be come for, now took on a new and frightful meaning for me.
Details
10
17 96 For some reason Ligurious had seemed to think it fitting that I be kept that way.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
30 549 Ligurious had, once or twice, told me as much.
Details
10
30 554 In the great hall, before his departure, Ligurious had told me that I would soon serve my purpose.
Details
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...
Details
10
30 568 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...
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
32 52 "It is I, Ligurious, once first minister of Corcyrus".
Details
10
32 71 "I have not been captured," said Ligurious, "nor have I entered the palace surreptitiously.
Details
10
32 129 "No!" cried Ligurious.
Details
10
32 134 The hands of Ligurious fumbled at the cords on her ankles, and then on her hands.
Details
10
32 166 Ligurious tore the gag from her.
Details
10
32 169 "I am Ligurious!" "Yes, Master," she said.
Details
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...
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
32 245 "Where is Ligurious?" I asked, frightened.
Details
10
32 249 Indeed, I have been keeping a close eye on Ligurious ever since I discovered he was in the palace.
Details
10
32 254 "It is intended," I said, "that the cohorts of Ligurious detain Hassan, and prevent him from attending the banquet".
Details
10
33 7 Miles of Argentum was there, and Drusus Rencius, and Ligurious.
Details
10
33 20 At this table, too, sat Ligurious, Miles of Argentum and Drusus Rencius.
Details
10
33 26 Even Ligurious, I noted, politely joined in the applause.
Details
10
33 53 I saw Ligurious smile.
Details
10
33 55 "Ligurious," said Claudius, turning to him.

33 56 Ligurious rose, and walked about the table, to stand before it, and near the sack.
Details
10
33 57 "Many of you know me," said Ligurious, "if only by reputation, as the former first minister of Corcyrus.
Details
10
33 68 "Thank you, noble Ligurious," said Claudius.
Details
10
33 74 Ligurious looked down, smiling.
Details
10
33 77 "Let the sack be opened!" Ligurious looked about himself, pleased.
Details
10
33 80 Ligurious looked about.
Details
10
33 91 Ligurious then, perhaps curious, regarded her closely.
Details
10
33 100 "No, no!" said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 104 "I do not know!" said Ligurious, looking wildly about.
Details
10
33 127 "He has never seen her!" shouted Ligurious.
Details
10
33 129 "But from false clothing!" cried Ligurious.
Details
10
33 131 Ligurious looked down, confused.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 147 Ligurious threw him a look of hatred and then came closer to me.
Details
10
33 173 "Yes," said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 241 "Mistresses sometimes have different relationships to their serving slaves, or friends, than they do to others," said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 244 "Perhaps," said Ligurious, angrily.
Details
10
33 314 "I call now my fourth witness," said Miles of Argentum, "Ligurious, former first minister of Corcyrus.
Details
10
33 317 Ligurious".
Details
10
33 318 Ligurious unhesitantly pointed to me.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 339 The true Tatrix, meanwhile, eluded us, escaping in the company of Ligurious and others".
Details
10
33 340 "Ligurious?" asked Miles.
Details
10
33 341 "Preposterous," said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 370 "In making this identification," said Drusus Rencius, "I do no more than acknowledge that I was once the dupe of Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
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...
Details
10
33 388 I, too, in my way, had been a mere dupe of Ligurious.
Details
10
33 413 "May I speak?" inquired Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 444 "She whom you claim is the former Tatrix," said Ligurious.
Details
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".
Details
10
33 456 "I will be back shortly," said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 458 In a few Ehn Hassan and Ligurious had returned.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 502 I watched in horror as Ligurious tossed the clothing, piece by piece, to one of the sleen keepers.
Details
10
33 506 "It is," Ligurious assured him.
Details
10
33 508 "Surely you recognize that garment?" asked Ligurious, indicating a purple robe with golden trim, and a golden belt.
Details
10
33 511 "By you," said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 513 "But she did not wear it long, did she?" asked Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
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".
Details
10
33 553 "Examine the seals," said Ligurious, triumphantly.
Details
10
33 557 "The seal broken from the package of Ligurious," he said, "is the seal of Corcyrus".
Details
10
33 559 "Perhaps you will be given two Ahn in which to leave Argentum," said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 561 "It, too, doubtless, will bear the same seal as was on the package," said Ligurious.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 569 "The descriptions tally with the garments brought to us by Ligurious," said one of the members of the high council.
Details
10
33 570 "Who has signed the letter?" inquired Ligurious.
Details
10
33 575 "Who would dare to gainsay me in this?" inquired Ligurious.
Details
10
33 580 Ligurious staggered backwards.
Details
10
33 581 "My dear Ligurious," said Menicius, "your confederate in Corcyrus is now in custody.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 591 Ligurious looked about himself.
Details
10
33 595 Two guardsmen moved swiftly to Ligurious.
Details
10
33 601 Presumably it had been taken by Ligurious in his flight from the city.
Details
10
33 604 Ligurious, shackled, looked down at the tiles.
Details
10
33 629 "Admit nothing!" called Ligurious.
Details
10
33 632 She then, a slave, obeyed Ligurious, a free man.
Details
10
33 689 Ligurious was looking at the tiles.
Details
10
33 691 "Ligurious?" asked Claudius.
Details
10
33 692 "I know nothing of these things," said Ligurious, shrugging.
Details
10
33 721 "Be silent!" said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 733 "Fool!" cried Ligurious.
Details
10
33 741 "Fool!" cried Ligurious.
Details
10
33 744 "Be silent!" said Ligurious.
Details
10
33 791 "Ligurious?" asked Claudius.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 805 There, supported by the influence and wealth of beasts, and abetted by Ligurious, I ruled.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 812 Ligurious was smitten with me.
Details
10
33 819 I looked at Ligurious.
Details
10
33 823 Thus, through Ligurious, an order was placed with the beasts, that a double might be obtained for me.
Details
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.
Details
10
33 857 Claudius then regarded Ligurious.
Details
10
33 866 "True," said Ligurious, "but only at the cost of sacrificing the honor of Argentum".
Details
10
33 867 Claudius looked at Ligurious.
Details
10
33 869 "Ligurious, it is true," said Claudius, "came to us a free man, of his own will.
Details
10
33 877 Ligurious smiled.
Details
10
33 883 Two soldiers seized Ligurious by the arms.
Details
10
33 884 "We have matters to inquire into," said Claudius to Ligurious, "and resolutions to be made.
Details
10
33 888 "Such a reservation is fully in accord with our original arrangements," said Ligurious loftily.
Details
10
33 892 At a gesture from Claudius, Ligurious was conducted from the room.
Details
10
33 896 "I feel sorry for him in a way," said Claudius, looking after Ligurious.
Details
10
34 9 This was the last evening Ligurious was to spend in Argentum.
Details
10
34 35 Ligurious indicated that she should enter.
Details
10
34 43 "Kneel, Slave," said Ligurious, defining the relationship between them.
Details
10
34 92 "Whip," said Ligurious.
Details
10
34 97 "Face that direction," said Ligurious, pointing.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
34 138 Ligurious turned to face me.
Details
10
34 167 Ligurious, Sheila in his arms, looked over at me.
Details
10
34 178 "A fortunate man am I," said Ligurious, "to be served by two Tatrices".
Details
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".
Details
10
36 39 Five days ago Ligurious had left.
Details
10
36 601 "As Sheila, who was the true Tatrix of Corcyrus, was to Ligurious, so, too, are you to me!" he said.
