This may seem cruel but in the long run it tends to be conservative of human life; it is better, as the Goreans say, for one man to die than many. |
10 |
| 3 | 10 |
Their tails, long and tufted at the end, lashed back and forth. |
10 |
| 3 | 43 |
I had not long to wait for only a few moments later, perhaps no more than ten Gorean Ihn, a section of stone rolled silently back and upward revealing a rock passage beyond of perhaps some eight feet square. |
10 |
| 3 | 50 |
He had long whiskery sideburns which flared merrily from his muffinlike face. |
10 |
| 4 | 20 |
It seemed to take us a long time to reach the dais. |
10 |
| 5 | 26 |
She wore a long, simple sleeveless white robe, which fell gracefully about her in dignified classic folds. |
10 |
| 5 | 50 |
When she looked again my eyes fixed on hers and we looked into one another's eyes for a long time until her lip trembled and her eyes fell before mine. |
10 |
| 5 | 72 |
"As long as you are in this room I belong to you". |
10 |
| 5 | 80 |
I arose and walked through the portal and found myself in a long stone passageway beyond it which stretched as far as I could see in either direction. |
10 |
| 5 | 136 |
"Long ago," she said, "when I first came to the Sardar and found the Hall of Priest-Kings, I was a young and foolish girl. |
10 |
| 5 | 206 |
There was a long silence I did not feel I should break. |
10 |
| 5 | 247 |
There stood before me insolently the beautiful, predatory girl who had come so long ago to the Sardar to exploit Priest-Kings. |
10 |
| 5 | 259 |
"How long did I sleep?" I asked. |
10 |
| 5 | 260 |
"Long," she said. |
10 |
| 5 | 261 |
"How long?" I asked. |
10 |
| 6 | 13 |
The meat was a steak, cut from the loin of a bosk, a huge, shaggy, long-horned, ill-tempered bovine which shambles in large, slow-moving herds across the prairies of Gor. |
10 |
| 6 | 151 |
And then came the third and final stroke of that distant gong and at the same instant the energy bulbs in the room dimmed and I understood that now somewhere in the long corridors of that vast edifice there walked the Priest-Kings of Gor. |
10 |
| 7 | 66 |
I am a warrior of Ko-ro-ba and I issue the challenge of a warrior to the Priest-Kings of Gor! Let us do battle! Let us make war!" My voice echoed for a long time in the vast chamber, but I received no response to my challenge. |
10 |
| 7 | 72 |
I had walked perhaps an Ahn and was deep inside one of the long, dimly lit passageways which led in the direction of her chamber when I seemed somehow to sense a presence behind me. |
10 |
| 7 | 81 |
I have the patience of a warrior and I waited for a long time. |
10 |
| 8 | 113 |
Each year in the fall legions of tarnsmen from Treve were said to emerge from the Voltai like locusts and fall on the fields of one city or another, different cities in different years, harvesting what they needed and burning the rest in order that a long, retaliatory winter campaign could not be la... |
10 |
| 8 | 151 |
Cities, of course, would pursue the raiders from Treve, and carry the pursuit vigorously as far as the foothills of the Voltai, but there they would surrender the chase, turning back, not caring to risk their tarnsmen in the rugged, formidable territory of their rival, whose legendary ferocity among... |
10 |
| 8 | 158 |
It was a wild, agile, ill-tempered beast, long-haired and spiral-horned. |
10 |
| 8 | 238 |
Perhaps now I would not have so long to wait for the Priest-Kings of Gor. |
10 |
| 9 | 26 |
She regarded me for a long time. |
10 |
| 9 | 139 |
"Once—long ago—I thought I loved". |
10 |
| 9 | 153 |
"How long has it been since you have seen her?" demanded Vika. |
10 |
| 9 | 229 |
I watched Vika and suddenly she seemed too to know and her head lifted and her eyes widened with horror and she crept to her knees, her hands before her face as though to shield herself and she shuddered and suddenly uttered a wild, long, terrible scream of abject fear. |
10 |
| 9 | 238 |
From its head there extended two fragile, jointed appendages, long and covered with short quivering strands of golden hair. |
10 |
| 9 | 255 |
It was stalking in long, delicate steps down the passageway. |
10 |
| 10 | 40 |
I followed the Priest-King for a long time through the passages. |
10 |
| 10 | 44 |
It walked on four extremely long, slender, four-jointed stalks that were its supporting legs, and carried its far more muscular, four-jointed grasping legs, or appendages, extremely high, almost level with its jaw, and in front of its body. |
10 |
| 10 | 70 |
At that moment to my horror a large, perhaps eight feet long and a yard high, multilegged, segmented arthropod scuttled near, its eyes weaving on stalks. |
10 |
| 11 | 25 |
I observed their antennae and the general posturing and carriage of their long, graceful bodies. |
10 |
| 11 | 121 |
Scarcely had they placed their weight on the disk when it began to smoothly and silently accelerate down the long ramp which led toward the bottom of the canyon. |
10 |
| 12 | 47 |
Sarm, who stood in the long room on an oval dais, seemed satisfied with this transaction. |
10 |
| 12 | 51 |
I had been pacing back and forth in the long room, nervous without the feel of the sword steel at my thigh. |
10 |
| 12 | 138 |
He pointed one long, jointed foreleg at the Muls. |
10 |
| 12 | 184 |
Before the other could regain his balance, I had leaped to him and seized him in my hands and lifted him high over my head and hurled him on his back to the stone flooring of the long chamber. |
10 |
| 13 | 1 |
The Slime Worm I followed Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta through several rooms and down a long corridor. |
10 |
| 13 | 11 |
Scents, of course, will fade in time, but the specially prepared synthetic products of the Priest-Kings can last for thousands of years and, in the long run, will surely outlast the fading print of human books, the disintegrating celluloid of our films, perhaps even the carved, weathering stones so ... |
10 |
| 13 | 94 |
* * * * We had not walked far when we passed a long, wormlike animal, eyeless, with a small red mouth, that inched its way along the corridor, hugging the angle between the wall and floor. |
10 |
| 13 | 107 |
"Long ago it functioned in the Nest," said one of the slaves, "as a sewerage device, but it has not served that function in many thousands of years". |
10 |
| 14 | 8 |
Two circular metal plates in the wall beneath the shield had slid upward and suddenly long metal arms had telescoped outwards and reached for me. |
10 |
| 14 | 127 |
Misk said nothing for a long time, and then he dejectedly lowered his head, delicately extending his antennae to me for grooming. |
10 |
| 14 | 133 |
"I was indulgent," said Misk, straightening up so that his long body now loomed over me, inclined forward slightly from the vertical in the characteristic stance of Priest-Kings. |
10 |
| 14 | 158 |
The Second, Third and Fourth Born, in the long ages, have, one by one, succumbed to the Pleasures of the Golden Beetle. |
10 |
| 14 | 165 |
Misk bent down until his long body was horizontal and then inclined downward yet more towards me. |
10 |
| 15 | 45 |
I held the torch high and looked at the Priest-King, who was rather small for a Priest-King, being only about twelve feet long. |
10 |
| 15 | 46 |
What most astonished me was that he had wings, long, slender, beautiful, golden, translucent wings, folded against his back. |
10 |
| 15 | 55 |
I looked at the long, golden wings of the creature. |
10 |
| 15 | 60 |
He paused for a long time and the antennae regarded the inert figure on the stone table. |
10 |
| 15 | 78 |
At one time we were rich and filled with life and in that time our great patterns were formed and in another time our arts flourished and then for a very long time our only passion was scientific curiosity, but now even that lessens, even that lessens". |
10 |
| 16 | 90 |
"Yes," said Misk, "as was the man from Ar whom you met on the road long ago near Ko-ro-ba". |
10 |
| 16 | 187 |
They had been long, cruel, lonely years. |
10 |
| 16 | 206 |
"The Mother was hatched and flew her Nuptial Flight long before the discovery of the stabilization serums," said Misk. |
10 |
| 17 | 53 |
I stayed a long time in the washing-booth and when I came out and donned my plastic tunic it took quite some time to make the Mul-Fungus Porridge of just the consistency at which I preferred it, and then, since I had finally managed to make it the way in which it was least unpalatable, I took some t... |
10 |
| 17 | 79 |
"We use random scanning patterns," said Sarm, "for we find in the long run, over centuries, they are more effective than following fixed scanning schedules. |
10 |
| 17 | 89 |
It was an exceedingly long chamber and built on four levels, almost like steps. |
10 |
| 17 | 123 |
* * * * Sarm and I passed further on down one of the long levels, looking into one or another of the observation cubes. |
10 |
| 18 | 88 |
"Sometimes this is spoken of as the Home Stone of all Gor," said Sarm, as we walked the long, winding, iron spiral that clung to the side of a vast, transparent blue dome. |
10 |
| 19 | 13 |
"Good," said Sarm, and went to one of the high cabinets in Misk's chamber and touching a button in a certain sequence of long and short presses opened it. |
10 |
| 19 | 94 |
Sarm pranced backwards on those long, delicate, jointed legs, clearing the passage to the door. |
10 |
| 19 | 95 |
He lifted his long, bladelike body almost to the vertical. |
10 |
| 20 | 91 |
She gave a long, frantic, terrified, wild scream and squirmed about in the cylinder, her small gloved fists striking futilely at the strong, curved plastic walls that confined her. |
10 |
| 20 | 101 |
Bending to a panel in the disk he took out three objects: the long, classic, white garment of a Chamber Slave, which was contained in a wrapper of blue plastic; a slave collar; and an object of which I did not immediately grasp the import, a small, flat boxlike object which bore the upraised figure ... |
10 |
| 20 | 235 |
The two Muls looked at me for a long time, and at themselves, and at me again, and seemed to reach some sort of accord. |
10 |
| 21 | 43 |
Then, as we crouched in the darkness of the far side of the chamber, the doors opposite us swung open and we observed two long lines of strange men, marching abreast, each of whom carried a Mul-Torch in one hand and in the other by a handle what resembled a deflated wineskin of golden leather. |
10 |
| 21 | 47 |
The men who came through the door in the long mournful procession may have been of the human kind or they may not have been. |
10 |
| 21 | 48 |
They were shaven and clad in plastic as are all Muls of the Nest, but their torsos seemed smaller and rounder than those of a human being and their legs and arms seemed extraordinarily long for their body size and the hands and feet seemed unusually wide. |
10 |
| 22 | 139 |
"They are mutations," said Misk, "bred long ago for service in the darkened tunnels, now preserved for ceremonial purposes and for the sake of tradition". |
10 |
| 23 | 4 |
She wore only brief rags, the remains of her once long and beautiful garment, torn and stained by what must have been her terrified flight through these dark, rocky tunnels, running, stumbling, screaming, futilely trying to escape the pursuing jaws of the implacable Golden Beetle. |
10 |
| 23 | 15 |
How long Vika had been dead I had no way of judging, though I cursed myself for it would not have appeared to be a matter of more than a few hours. |
10 |
| 23 | 22 |
Because of the lack of coldness in the body I listened for a long time for a heartbeat. |
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. |
10 |
| 24 | 7 |
Most strangely perhaps were several long, golden strands, almost a mane, which extended from the creature's head over its domed, golden back and fell almost to the floor behind it. |
10 |
| 24 | 14 |
Undoubtedly in its long life it had never encountered anything like this in its tunnels. |
10 |
| 24 | 45 |
About an Ehn after I had turned and began to move away from the cavern, Vika on my shoulder, I heard from the cavern one of the strangest and most horrifying sounds I had ever heard in my life, a long, weird, frantic, enraged rush of sound, more than a rush of air, more than a wild hiss, almost a cr... |
10 |
| 24 | 78 |
I cried out as I felt two long, hard, curved objects close on my body. |
10 |
| 25 | 24 |
What approached was not another Golden Beetle, though I supposed there might have been several in those tunnels, but another inhabitant of those dismal passages, the whitish, long, slow, blind Slime Worm. |
10 |
| 25 | 25 |
Its tiny mouth on the underside of its body touched the stone flooring here and there like the poking finger of a blind man and the long, whitish, rubbery body gathered itself and pushed forward and gathered itself and pushed forward again until it lay but a yard from my sandal, almost under the she... |
10 |
| 25 | 26 |
The Slime Worm lifted the forward portion of its long, tubular body and the tiny red mouth on its underside seemed to peer up at me. |
10 |
| 25 | 30 |
I had been long enough in this place. |
10 |
| 25 | 109 |
In a vast low case, on the floor of which apparently grew real grass, I saw a pair of shaggy, long-horned bosk grazing, and in the same case but in a different corner was a small herd, no more than five adult animals, a proud male and four does, of tabuk, the single-horned, golden Gorean antelope. |
10 |
| 25 | 129 |
She was very beautiful and the brief rags that were all that remained of her once long and lovely garment left little of her beauty to conjecture. |
10 |
| 26 | 48 |
He looked at her unshaved head and long, beautiful hair with disgust. |
10 |
| 26 | 259 |
As the girl spoke and I tried to lightly dismiss her words, I wondered at the long processes of evolution that had nurtured over thousands of generations what had in time become the human kind. |
10 |
| 26 | 260 |
I wondered of the struggles of my own world as well as on Gor, struggles which over millennia had shaped the blood and inmost being of my species, perhaps conflicts over tunnels in cliffs to be fought with the savage cave bear, long dangerous weeks spent hunting the same game as the saber-toothed ti... |
10 |
| 27 | 18 |
There I took a few minutes to replenish my energies from the containers of Mul-Fungus and I took a long welcome draught of water from the inverted jar in my case. |
10 |
| 27 | 27 |
Yes, the hours would be long and lonely for the caged, shorn Vika of Treve. |
10 |
| 27 | 89 |
There was no male, no Father of the Nest, and I supposed the male had died, or had not lived long after her mating. |
10 |
| 27 | 110 |
But I now understood as I observed the slight, almost enraptured tremor of their antennae responding to the scent-music of the musicians that this was not a simple demonstration of their patience but a time of exaltation for them, of gathering, of bringing the Nest together, of reminding them of the... |
10 |
| 27 | 138 |
His entire frame, that long, slender golden blade, seemed to shudder. |
10 |
| 27 | 147 |
For a long moment the antennae of the two Priest-Kings regarded one another and then Sarm's antennae flattened themselves over his head and so, too, did Misk's. |
10 |
| 27 | 155 |
Again Sarm charged and again I saw a long greenish-wet opening appear as if by magic on the side of Misk's huge golden head, and again Sarm, whose speed was almost unbelievable, leaped away before Misk could touch him and was again circling and watching. |
10 |
| 27 | 157 |
I wondered how long it would take to kill a Priest-King. |
10 |
| 27 | 311 |
I wondered how long the scent-message, whatever it was to be, would linger in the air before fading into an unrecognizable blur of scent to be drawn through the ventilator system and dispelled somewhere far above among the black crags of the treeless, frozen Sardar. |
10 |
| 27 | 320 |
"Long ago," she said, "Misk, my child, stole the egg of a male and now he has hidden it from Sarm and others who do not wish for there to be another Nest". |
10 |
| 27 | 322 |
"Not long ago," said she, "perhaps no more than four of your centuries, he told me of what he had done and of his reasons for doing so". |
10 |
| 27 | 327 |
One of the physicians rushed forward and thrust the long syringe deep through her exoskeleton into the fluids of her thorax. |
10 |
| 27 | 352 |
Her great jaws moved slowly apart and I saw the long, soft tongue that lay behind them. |
10 |
| 28 | 19 |
It was the carriers of Gur but far from the Gur Chamber and I watched with something of awe as the long procession of humanoid creatures, two abreast, marched along the ceiling of the tunnel until they stopped above me. |
10 |
| 28 | 105 |
On the other hand I have never truly objected to the title because I had not been long on Gor before I understood, for some reason that is not yet altogether clear to me, that the word "Master" can indescribably thrill a girl when she finds it on her lips, now those of a slave girl, and knows that i... |
10 |
| 28 | 142 |
* * * * It was later in the same afternoon that Mul-Ba-Ta, now simply Ba-Ta, made his appearance, leading long lines of former Muls. |
10 |
| 28 | 188 |
Rumor had it that the only Muls whom Sarm had not ordered slain on sight were the Implanted Ones, among whom would be such creatures as Parp, whom I had met long ago when first I entered the lair of Priest-Kings. |
10 |
| 28 | 226 |
Indeed, it is through the control of gravity that the Priest-Kings had, long ago, brought their world into our system, an engineering feat which might have been otherwise impossible without perhaps the draining of gleaming Thassa itself for its hydrogen nuclei. |
10 |
| 29 | 21 |
I took a long run and with a great bound cleared the ditch by perhaps two feet and was soon speeding on my way to Misk's workshop. |
10 |
| 30 | 17 |
I recalled the man from Ar, met on the lonely road to Ko-ro-ba long ago, who like a robot had been forced to obey the signals of Priest-Kings until at last he had tried to throw over the net, and its overload had burned away the insides of his skull, giving him at last the freedom of his own mortal ... |
10 |
| 30 | 68 |
Not long after the failure of his gravitational disruption attack Sarm had spread throughout Misk's portions of the Nest various disease organisms, many of which had not had a free occurrence in centuries. |
10 |
| 30 | 75 |
Then it seems that a brave female, a former Mul, unidentified, had grasped the situation and, seizing a cattle goad from one of the confused, puzzled herdsmen, had rushed upon the Beetles, jabbing and striking them, driving them away with the long spearlike object, and soon the herdsmen had rushed t... |
10 |
| 30 | 187 |
This transfer of allegiance was apparently the result of long discussion and consideration by the group of Priest-Kings who had followed Sarm because he was First Born, but had at many points objected to his conduct of the War, in particular to his treatment of the Muls, his use of the gravitational... |
10 |
| 30 | 190 |
But not long after this took place other Priest-Kings, startled by the decision of Kusk, began to speak of ending the War, and some others too began to cross the lines. |
10 |
| 30 | 201 |
At last Sarm made clear to me why I had been kept alive, why I had not been destroyed long ago. |
10 |
| 31 | 12 |
I supposed that she feared he might slay me, thus depriving her of her revenge for which she had waited so long. |
10 |
| 31 | 132 |
Sarm kept firing long, persistent bursts of fire at the paneling against the walls, undoubtedly attempting to destroy the instrumentation. |
10 |
| 31 | 186 |
Sarm lifted the bar and I sensed the murderous intensity that transformed his entire being, how each of those golden fibers like springs of steel would leap into play and the long bar would slash in a blur toward my body. |
10 |
| 31 | 209 |
Slowly the heavy body with its domed, fused wings pressed past me, its tiny, tuftlike antennae extending towards Sarm, its long, hollow pincerlike jaws opening. |
10 |
| 32 | 199 |
I wondered how long it would take before it broke apart and scattered in a belt of dust across the solar system, only to bend inward at last and spiral like a falling bird into the gases of the burning sun. |
10 |
| 32 | 260 |
"How long ago?" I asked. |
10 |
| 32 | 301 |
He threw the switch again and the portal began to roll down but one of the larls with a wild roar threw himself towards it and got half his body and one long, raking clawed paw under it. |
10 |
| 32 | 343 |
We have a long way to go and it will be cold". |
10 |
| 33 | 30 |
"We have won!" Not stopping even to set her on her feet, I now raced in long, soft bounds toward the gate. |
10 |
| 33 | 34 |
The Initiates, hundreds of them, knelt in long lines to the crags of the Sardar, to the Priest-Kings. |
10 |
| 33 | 58 |
The man gestured with his fat hand and a white bosk, beautiful with its long, shaggy coat and its curved, polished horns, was led forward. |
10 |
| 33 | 65 |
At the end of this long but speedily delivered prayer, refrains to which were rapidly furnished by the Initiates massed about him, he cried, "Oh Priest-Kings, let this our last sacrifice turn aside your wrath. |
10 |
| 33 | 153 |
I looked at the Initiate for a long time, and wondered if he spoke the truth. |
10 |
| 35 | 33 |
It would be long before the powers of the broken Nest could be restored, before the Scanning Chamber could function again, before the vast damages done to the Nest could be repaired, but men and Priest-Kings were even now at work, side by side. |
10 |
| 35 | 182 |
For a long time I, and the others, stood there in the windy night, almost knee-deep in the flowing, bending grass, and watched the knoll, and the stars behind it, and the white moons above. |

Even past me there thundered a lumbering herd of startled, short-trunked kailiauk, a stocky, awkward ruminant of the plains, tawny, wild, heavy, their haunches marked in red and brown bars, their wide heads bristling with a trident of horns; they had not stood and formed their circle, shes and young... |

Once, long, long ago, Ko-ro-ba and Ar had turned the invasion of the united Wagon Peoples from the north, and the memories of these things, stinging still in the honest songs of camp skalds, would rankle in the craws of such fierce, proud peoples. |

Besides several of the flower trees there were also some Ka-la-na trees, or the yellow wine trees of Gor; there was one large-trunked, reddish Tur tree, about which curled its assemblage of Tur-Pah, a vinelike tree parasite with curled, scarlet, ovate leaves, rather lovely to look upon; the leaves o... |

In the long years that had passed since first I had come to the Counter-Earth I had seen many things, and had known loves, and had found adventures and perils and wonders, but I asked myself if anything I had done was as unreasoning, as foolish as this, as strange. |

Some years before, perhaps between two and five years before, as the culmination of an intrigue enduring centuries, two men, humans from the walled cities of Gor, had, for the sake of Priest-Kings, undertaken a long, secret journey, carrying an object to the Wagon Peoples, an object bestowed on them... |

I passed fields that were burning, and burning huts of peasants, the smoking shells of Sa-Tarna granaries, the shattered, slatted coops for vulos, the broken walls of keeps for the small, long-haired domestic verr, less belligerent and sizable than the wild verr of the Voltai Ranges. |

On the saddle there also hung, on one side, a coiled rope of braided boskhide and, on the other, a long, three-weighted bola of the sort used in hunting tumits and men; in the saddle itself, on the right side, indicating the rider must be right-handed, were the seven sheaths for the almost legendary... |

Among the Wagon Peoples, to be clad Kajir means, for a girl, to wear four articles, two red, two black; a red cord, the Curla, is tied about the waist; the Chatka, or long, narrow strip of black leather, fits over this cord in the front, passes under, and then again, from the inside, passes over the... |

Many others, too, rushed to the sound, and we were jostled by armed warriors, scarred and fierce; by boys with unscarred faces, carrying the pointed sticks used often for goading the wagon bosk; by leather-clad women hurrying from the cooking pots; by wild, half-clothed children; even by enslaved Ka... |

Then, from within the collar, he drew forth a thin, folded piece of paper, rence paper, made from the fibers of the rence plant, a tall, long-stalked leafy plant which grows predominantly in the delta of the Vosk. |

He was a large-wristed strong man with long, black hair. |

We moved slowly, walking the kaiila, in four long lines, the Tuchuks, the Kassars, the Kataii, the Paravaci, some two hundred or so warriors of each. |

The stakes, flat-topped, each about six and half feet high and about seven or eight inches in diameter, stand in two long lines facing one another in pairs. |

On long lines of tharlarion I could see warriors of Turia approaching in procession the Plains of a Thousand Stakes. |
10 |
| 10 | 216 |
The morning sun flashed from their helmets, their long tharlarion lances, the metal embossments on their oval shields, unlike the rounded shields of most Gorean cities. |
10 |
| 10 | 220 |
The walls were crowded, and I supposed many upon them used the long glasses of the Caste of Builders to observe the field of the stakes. |
10 |
| 10 | 221 |
The warriors of Turia extended their formation about two hundred yards from the stakes until in ranks of four or five deep they were strung out in a line as long as the line of stakes itself. |
10 |
| 10 | 330 |
From down the long lines, from other judges, came the confirming cry. |
10 |

"They are secured," was relayed up and down the long lines. |

The judge unpinned her white and gold veil and then, with a gentle hand, brushed back her hood revealing her long, lovely black hair. |

His long black hair was now tied behind his head. |

The saber, incidentally, is not only unpopular among the Wagon Peoples but among the warriors of Gor generally; it is regarded as being too long and clumsy a weapon for the close, sharp combat so dear to the heart of the warrior of the cities; further it is not of much use from the saddle of a tarn ... |

On the other hand the rare, long-stemmed tospit usually has an even number of seeds. |

One of the instruments was an eight-stringed czehar, rather like a large flat oblong box; it is held across the lap when sitting cross-legged and is played with a horn pick; the other was the kalika, a six-stringed instrument; it, like the czehar, is flat-bridged and its strings are adjusted by mean... |

Once at the foot of the stairs she stopped and stood for a long moment. |

I had seen her before, of course, as had Kamchak, but it was startling still to see her thus in the firelight—her hair was long and silken black, her eyes dark, the color of her skin tannish. |

She looked into my eyes for a long moment and then suddenly dropped her head weeping. |

There on a front pasangs in length, already the Thousands had nearly formed, and long lines of riders, few gaps in their ranks, waited, lance in hand, their eyes on the war lanterns. |

With these he hurriedly conferred and then I saw him lift his arm and red war lanterns were moved on ropes to the top of poles, and, to my amazement, aisles seemed to open in the densely packed bosk before the men, herdsmen and herd sleen moving the animals back to clear long grassy passages between... |

And then, following the war lanterns, filing out of their ranks with a swiftness and precision that was incredible, long, flying columns of warriors flowed like rivers between the beasts. |

In the morning the wagons, in their long lines, would follow the slowly moving herds away from Turia. |

* * * * I searched among the wagons long before I found, sitting cross-legged beneath a wagon, wrapped in a worn bosk robe, his weapons at hand folded in leather, the young man whose name was Harold, the blond-haired, blue-eyed fellow who had been so victimized by Hereena, she of the First Wagon, wh... |

After what seemed to me an uncomfortably long moment we emerged again, this time at the bottom of a tile-lined well. |

Soon Harold had left the central hall and was making his way down a long, carpeted, lamp-hung corridor. |

She wore yellow Pleasure Silk, and, beneath her long black hair, on her throat, I glimpsed a silverish Turian collar. |
10 |

I took one long turn, seeing the torches and lights in the House of Saphrar below, and then guided my bird out over the prairie in the direction of the wagons of the Tuchuks. |
10 |
| 21 | 19 |
Slowly, wagon by wagon, the long columns of the Tuchuk retreat were formed, each wagon in its column, each column in its place, and, covering pasangs of prairie, the march from Turia had begun. |
10 |
| 21 | 38 |
Before leaving the wagons I had joined them briefly on their march, long enough to purchase my peddler's disguise and the pound or so of stones which was to complete it. |
10 |
| 21 | 48 |
As I entered I regarded the lofty double gates, and wondered how long it would take to close them. |
10 |

"Stop that man! Stop him! I know him! He is Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba! Stop him!" I stumbled in the long robe of the merchant and cursed and leaped up and ran again. |
10 |
| 21 | 166 |
There I thought long on the matter of the egg of Priest-Kings and the House of Saphrar. |
10 |
| 21 | 205 |
I, of course, did not wish to wait a few days—or more—or however long it might take Ha-Keel to rest his men, square his accounts with Saphrar and depart. |
10 |
| 21 | 270 |
At that moment there was a long, wailing cry of horror from the wall above. |
10 |

I could now see smoke down the long avenue leading from the gate, in a dozen places. |
10 |

I accompanied him, stopping only long enough to rip away most of the upper portions of the baker's tunic and rinse the dye from my hair in a street fountain. |

Within he undoubtedly had ample food and water to withstand a long siege. |

Here I saw, along one wall, a long line of Turian women, unclothed, who were kneeling, fastened together in various ways, some by chains, some by thongs. |

Near him, in places of honor, at a long, low table, above the bowls of yellow and red salt, on each side, sat many of the high men of Turia, clad in their finest robes, their hair oiled, scented and combed for the banquet. |

The time of the year was the late spring and the prairie's climate was not unkind, though occasionally long rains must have made the lot of the refugees fleeing toward other cities miserable. |

Long ago I had learned not to press the Tuchuk when he did not wish to speak. |

I remembered that night—the long swim against the underground current, the well, our capture, the Yellow Pool of Turia, the Pleasure Gardens, the tarns—and escape. |

"You would have found out long ago," said Harold, "had you not rushed off to Turia again immediately after our return—when the wagons were moving toward Ta-Thassa. |
