Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
14	43	"By what right," I challenged, "is it the sword of Marlenus that must bring justice to Gor?" "You do not understand," said Marlenus.	10
14	131	Merchants must keep their friends on both sides of the fence, for who knows if Marlenus may not once more sit upon the throne of Ar?" I must have uttered a sound of joy, for Marlenus quickly placed his hand over my mouth.	10
15	267	Suppose Marlenus regains Ar—will Mintar not receive the monopolies he wishes?" "Yes," I said, "but Pa-Kur will guarantee those monopolies as freely as Marlenus".	10
4	95	"Marlenus, who would be Ubar of all Gor, knows of your existence".	10
4	96	"Who is Marlenus?" I asked, shaken.	10
4	174	"And there," he said, poking downward with his finger, "is the City of Ar, hereditary enemy of Ko-ro-ba, the central city of Marlenus, who intends to be Ubar of all Gor".	10
5	17	The power of Marlenus, or much of it, lay in the mystique of victory that had never ceased to attend him, acting like a magic spell on his soldiers and the people of his city.	10
5	25	But, as my father knew, strife among the free cities would be the very madness which Marlenus of Ar would welcome most; better even that Ko-ro-ba should suffer the indignity of being thought a city of cowards.	10
5	26	Yet if the Home Stone of Ar, the very symbol and significance of the empire, could be removed from Ar, the spell of Marlenus might be broken.	10
5	190	It was a magnificent and beautiful city, a worthy setting for the jewel of empire, that awesome jewel that had proved so tempting to its Ubar, the all-conquering Marlenus.	10
6	1	Nar the Spider I had a little difficulty making out the tallest tower in Ar, the cylinder of the Ubar Marlenus.	10
6	119	Her chances of survival seemed now more slim than if I had cut the ladder over the cylinders of Ar when she hung helplessly in my power, the treacherous daughter of the Ubar Marlenus.	10
6	167	But across the marsh, with his swift prancing stride, came Nar, and in his mandibles, held gently but firmly, the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus.	10
6	170	"This is the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus," said Nar, and added ironically, "She did not remember to thank you for saving her life, which is strange, is it not, for a rational creature?" "Silence, Insect," said the daughter of the Ubar, her voice loud, clear, and imperious.	10
7	4	"It pleased the daughter of Marlenus," she said, "to inform you and your eight-legged brother of the fate of your tarn and of the Home Stone you sought".	10
7	74	What was it she thought I was waiting for? Then, to my astonishment, the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus, daughter of the Ubar of Ar, knelt before me, a simple warrior of Ko-ro-ba, and lowered her head, lifting and extending her arms, the wrists crossed.	10
7	165	In spite of my hold on her wrist, which must have been tight and painful, the daughter of Marlenus straightened herself before me and said arrogantly, "You tharlarion! Do you think that the daughter of the Ubar of all Gor would submit to such as you?" Cruelly I forced her to her knees before me, the...	10
7	224	"You are Talena," he said, tapping the dagger, "daughter of Marlenus?" "You see I wear the robes of the Ubar's daughter," said the girl, scarcely deigning to respond to the officer's question.	10
7	231	"Daughter of Marlenus?" "I am indeed, Heroes of Ar," replied the girl proudly, turning to the soldiers.	10
7	232	"I am Talena, daughter of Marlenus, Ubar of all Gor".	10
8	6	"Marlenus has fled," said the officer.	10
8	8	The Initiates have assumed command and have ordered that Marlenus and all members of his household and family are to be publicly impaled on the walls of Ar".	10
8	10	The officer continued: "Marlenus lost the Home Stone, the Luck of Ar.	10
8	19	Now she, like all other members of the household of Marlenus, slave or free, would be subjected to the vengeance of the outraged citizens, citizens who had marched in the processions of the Ubar in the days of his glory, carrying flasks of Ka-la-na wine and sheaves of Sa-Tarna grain, singing his pra...	10
8	22	"We presumed so, finding you in the company of the offspring of Marlenus".	10
8	56	"I never thought that I would have my chain on Talena, the daughter of Marlenus," he said.	10
8	170	For the first time since she had learned of the fall of Marlenus, the daughter of the Ubar seemed stunned.	10
9	126	"What news of Marlenus, the Ubar?" demanded Talena.	10
9	130	"What news of the Home Stone of Ar and the daughter of Marlenus?" I asked, feeling it would be the sort of thing the warrior would expect me to be interested in.	10
9	134	"And the daughter of Marlenus?" I insisted.	10
10	75	For a moment I was afraid Talena was going to announce that she was the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus, preferring possible impalement to the insult of being considered the offspring of a goat keeper.	10
11	9	It was I who had stolen the Home Stone of Ar, who had brought about the downfall of Marlenus, the Ubar, who had set the spark that had brought Ar to anarchy and the vultures below to feed on the divided carcass of what had been Gor's greatest city.	10
11	34	"More likely I would be impaled, for I am still the daughter of Marlenus".	10
12	40	"What have you done with the girl?" "She is Talena, daughter of the Ubar Marlenus," said Pa-Kur.	10
12	53	"Were it not for the daughter of Marlenus," said Pa-Kur, his metallic face as placid as the quicksilver behind a mirror, "I would have slain you honorably.	10
13	1	Marlenus, Ubar of Ar I set my course for Ko-ro-ba, carrying in my saddle pack the trophy that was now, at least to me, worthless.	10
13	119	"I am Marlenus, Ubar of Ar," said the man.	10
14	5	One of the tarnsmen of Marlenus thrust his hand in my hair and forced my lips down to his sandal.	10
14	8	Before me, on a rough throne of piled rocks, sat Marlenus, his long hair over his shoulders, his great beard reaching almost to his sword belt.	10
14	19	"You are he who stole the Home Stone of Ar," said Marlenus.	10
14	21	"It was well done," said Marlenus, looking at the Stone, holding it so the light reflected variously from its worn surface.	10
14	23	"You realize clearly that you must die," said Marlenus, not looking at me.	10
14	25	Holding the Home Stone in both hands, Marlenus leaned forward.	10
14	29	The eyes of Marlenus stared over my head, into the darkness outside.	10
14	31	Marlenus looked down at me.	10
14	33	"But I, Marlenus, though a warrior, was more than a warrior, always more than a warrior.	10
14	37	Marlenus set the Home Stone on the ground before him and drew his sword, which he laid across his knees; he looked like some remote and terrible god of war.	10
14	48	Marlenus was patient.	10
14	53	"But," I asked, "what of the dream of Ar, that dream of which you spoke, that dream that you believed it right to bring about?" "Yes?" said Marlenus.	10
14	57	Marlenus looked at me thoughtfully, then laughed.	10
14	60	"But," went on Marlenus, "if what you say is true, how shall we separate the right dreams from the wrong dreams?" It seemed to me a difficult question.	10
14	61	"I will tell you," laughed Marlenus.	10
14	65	"Impale him," said Marlenus.	10
14	68	"Your daughter, Talena, is alive," I said to Marlenus.	10
14	71	"She would have brought a thousand tarns," said Marlenus.	10
14	76	"She's your daughter," I said to Marlenus.	10
14	78	"Did she submit to you?" asked Marlenus.	10
14	83	"Damn your precious stinking honor!" Without realizing what I was doing, I had shaken the two restraining tarnsmen from my arms as if they had been children, and I rushed on Marlenus and struck him violently in the face with my fist, causing him to reel backward, his face contorted with astonishment...	10
14	94	As I fought, I could hear the lion laughter of Marlenus behind me, as what had been a simple impalement turned into a fight of the sort after his own heart.	10
14	95	As I found a moment's respite, I spun to face him, hoping to have it out with the Ubar himself, but as I did so, the shackles that I had worn struck me forcibly in the face and throat, thrown like a bolo by Marlenus.	10
14	97	"Well done, young warrior," acclaimed Marlenus.	10
14	104	"You will be torn to pieces," said Marlenus.	10
14	110	Marlenus did not deride me.	10
14	115	Marlenus himself knelt in the darkness to check the knots in the binding fiber, tightening them carefully.	10
14	128	"It is common knowledge in the camp of Pa-Kur," replied Marlenus.	10
15	7	Within the city the Initiates, who had seized control shortly after the flight of Marlenus, would have already tapped the siege reservoirs and begun to ration the stores of the huge grain cylinders.	10
15	122	It was Marlenus.	10
15	123	"Do not interrupt the game," commanded Marlenus.	10
15	126	Having recognized our presence, Marlenus, too, turned his attention to the game.	10
15	136	Marlenus smiled, rather grimly.	10
15	138	Then, with an imperious gesture, Marlenus swept his Ubar into the file opened by the movement of Mintar's capturing Spear Slave.	10
15	143	Marlenus looked at Kazrak and myself.	10
15	147	"And Marlenus invariably of the attack".	10
15	148	"An absorbing game," said Marlenus, almost absent-mindedly.	10
15	154	"Look here," said Marlenus, reconstructing the board.	10
15	159	"True," said Marlenus, shaking his head, "but thusly did I win".	10
15	161	"Yes," agreed Marlenus, "and Ar is the City".	10
15	163	"Yes," said Marlenus.	10
15	164	"And who," I asked, "is the Spear Slave?" "Does it matter?" asked Marlenus, sifting several of the Spear Slaves through his fingers, letting them drop, one by one, to the board.	10
15	169	"And," I went on, "when Pa-Kur falls, the garrison will be divided, and a revolution may take place—" "Led by a Ubar," said Marlenus, looking fixedly at the game piece in his hand.	10
15	174	The eyes of Marlenus flashed.	10
15	184	"Yes," said Marlenus.	10
15	188	Marlenus looked at me narrowly.	10
15	199	"But," said Marlenus, frowning, "if the siege is lifted, the Initiates will be left in power".	10
15	200	"And Marlenus will not resume the throne of Ar," I said.	10
15	202	I looked at Marlenus, testing the man.	10
15	203	"What is it, Ubar, that you hold dearest—your city or your title? Do you seek the welfare of Ar or your private glory?" Marlenus leaped to his feet, hurling the yellow robes of the Afflicted from him, drawing his blade from its sheath with a metallic flash.	10
15	205	We faced each other for a long, terrible moment; then Marlenus threw back his head and laughed his great lion laugh, slamming his sword back into its sheath.	10
15	209	"No," said Marlenus.	10
15	211	"Perhaps," suggested Mintar, "the young tarnsman might attend to the matter of Talena, daughter of Marlenus".	10
15	223	Marlenus stared down at the board, his fists clenched.	10
15	229	"She submitted herself," said Marlenus.	10
15	232	"She would have brought a bride price of a thousand tarns," said Marlenus bitterly, "and now she is of less value than a trained slave girl".	10
15	234	"If she were here now," said Marlenus, "I would strangle her".	10
15	236	"Well, then," said Marlenus, smiling, "perhaps I would only beat her and throw her naked to my tarnsmen".	10
15	238	"Indeed," said Marlenus, looking at me narrowly, "one of us would slay the other".	10
15	240	Marlenus seemed momentarily puzzled.	10
15	246	Marlenus left the tent, seemingly one of the Afflicted, a bent wreck of humanity pathetically scratching at the earth in front of him with the staff.	10
16	47	The fate of Marlenus during these days was in doubt.	10
16	50	Marlenus and several men had entered the city, it seemed, but had been discovered—and sealed off in the very cylinder of the Home Stones—indeed, in that cylinder that had been his palace in the days of his glory.	10
16	51	Marlenus and his men apparently had command of the top floor and roof of the cylinder, but there was little hope he could use the Home Stones that now lay within his grasp.	10
16	54	Pa-Kur, of course, was pleased to leave Marlenus precisely where he was, to be destroyed by the men of Ar.	10
16	56	Indeed, it was probable that Pa-Kur had no intention of returning the Home Stones at all but was determined to follow in the imperial footsteps of Marlenus himself.	10
16	57	I wondered how long Marlenus could hold out.	10
16	59	I was confident that there would be cisterns and canisters of water in the palace, and I supposed that Marlenus, as an enlightened precaution, in view of the unstable politics of Ar, would have outfitted his cylinder as a keep, laying in stores of food and missile weapons.	10
16	60	At any rate, my plan for the division of the Home Stones had failed, and Marlenus, on whom I had depended, was, in the language of the game, neutralized if not removed from the board.	10
16	79	"Marlenus had a dream of empire," I said, "but the ambition of Pa-Kur will yield only a nightmare of oppression and tyranny".	10
16	80	"It is unlikely that Marlenus will ever again be a danger," said Kazrak.	10
17	10	In the tent of Kazrak, ruefully I understood that my efforts had been futile and that the Tarnsman of Marlenus, so to speak, had at last been neutralized.	10
17	14	In addition to my own failures, I received no word from Kazrak, and reports from Ar on the stand of Marlenus in the Central Cylinder became obscure and contradictory.	10
17	81	"The impalement of Talena, daughter of Marlenus, false Ubar of Ar".	10
17	84	"When Marlenus fell," said the man, "the Initiates decreed the impalement of all members of his family".	10
18	2	I thought of Marlenus who, if he survived, might be able to see much of the same sight from the arrow ports of the Central Cylinder.	10
18	7	How much I would have given to have had Marlenus and his men at my side, few though they might be! Then, as if the pieces of a puzzle had suddenly, unexpectedly, snapped into shape, a plan sprang into my head.	10
18	8	Marlenus had entered the city.	10
18	43	"Pa-Kur wishes to know if the false Ubar, Marlenus, still lives".	10
18	51	"What of the roof of the cylinder," I asked, "when the tarn wire is down?" "Marlenus will not escape," repeated the officer, adding in a surly tone, "unless he can fly".	10
18	64	I had managed to bring down the tarn wire of Ar; I had learned that Marlenus still lived and held a portion of the Central Cylinder, and I had found out when and where the execution of Talena was supposed to take place.	10
18	79	If there was some secret way in and out of this particular pit, assuming it was the one prepared by Marlenus, I did not see what it was and had no time to conduct a thorough investigation.	10
18	89	For several minutes I examined the blank wall, sure that it held the secret of Marlenus's entrance into the city.	10
18	115	I reasoned that the tarns must be those of the men of Marlenus, left in the tarn cot when he entered the city.	10
18	120	Somehow I must liberate Marlenus.	10
18	121	I knew that when I entered the palace my presence would be inexplicable to the guardsmen and that I would not long be able to pass myself off as a herald of Pa-Kur, certainly not when it became clear that it was my intention to depart with Marlenus.	10
18	124	Surely I was now beneath the Central Cylinder, and the embattled Marlenus and his men were somewhere above me, sealed off by the guardsmen of Ar.	10
18	148	The tarns, all of them, entered the cylinder, the palace of Marlenus.	10
18	177	I called out, as loudly as I could, "Marlenus, Ubar of Ar!" To my joy, from somewhere above, around the curve of the stairs, I heard the voice of the Ubar.	10
18	184	It was behind this makeshift rampart, which could be defended against a hundred men, that I saw the haggard but still blazing eyes of Marlenus.	10
19	1	The Duel Marlenus and his men and I raced down the long stairs to the main hall of the Central Cylinder, where we came on the remains of the grisly feast of the tarns.	10
19	2	The great birds, fed, were once again as tractable as such monsters ever are, and with the tarn-goads Marlenus and his men were again in command.	10
19	3	In spite of the urgency of our mission, there was a detail that Marlenus did not neglect.	10
19	8	Marlenus followed, and his men.	10
19	10	Marlenus was, in general, well informed of the political situation; indeed, to be so informed required only the vantage point he had so stoutly defended for several days and a particle of awareness.	10
19	12	"Look!" cried Marlenus, pointing below.	10
19	20	Wherever the free men of Ar retain their weapons, there you will find Marlenus".	10
19	26	And I, too, if a higher duty had not called me, might have chosen to follow Marlenus, ruthless Ubar of that vast and violated city.	10
19	68	"Men of Ar," I cried, "listen! Even now, in the streets below, Marlenus, your Ubar, fights for the freedom of Ar!" The men of Ar looked at one another.	10
19	120	One of the men of Ar said, "I choose for Marlenus".	10
19	177	In Ar the men of Marlenus had apparently reached the great gate, for it was slowly closing, locking the garrison inside, separating them from the horde without.	10
19	220	The lion laugh of Marlenus resounded from behind us.	10
19	252	The warriors laughed, Marlenus the loudest.	10
20	21	Marlenus, in spite of his heroic role in the victory, submitted himself to the judgment of Ar's Council of High Castes.	10
20	23	Such a man as Marlenus can never be second in a city, and the men of Ar were determined that he should never again be first.	10
20	26	There, I suppose to this day, in that inhospitable vastness, he reigns; in the scarlet mountains of the Voltai, Marlenus still rules, a larl among men, an outlaw king, to his followers always the Ubar of Ubars.	10

2	14	So standing, the sun upon me, without thinking I raised my arms as in pagan prayer to acknowledge the power of the Priest-Kings, which had once again brought me from Earth to this world, the power which once before had torn me from Gor when they were finished with me, taking me from my adopted city,...	10
2	63	This blade had fought its way up the stairs of the Central Cylinder of Ar, when I had rescued Marlenus, embattled Ubar of that city.	10
5	11	I longed for my city, and for my father, the magnificent Matthew Cabot, once Ubar, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and for my friends, the proud Older Tarl, my master-at-arms, and Torm, the cheerful, grumbling little scribe who regarded even sleep and food as part of a conspiracy to separate him from...	10
14	52	It recalled the tarn cots of Ko-ro-ba and Ar, the Compound of Mintar in Pa-Kur's City of Tents on the Vosk, the outlaw encampment of Marlenus among the crags of the Voltai Range.	10
20	78	The mountains of the Sardar were not such a vast, magnificent range as the rugged scarlet crags of the Voltai, that almost impenetrable mountain vastness in which I had once been the prisoner of the outlaw Ubar, Marlenus of Ar, ambitious and warlike father of the fierce and beautiful Talena, she who...	10

4	4	The passage was lit with energy bulbs, of the sort which I had encountered in the tunnel of Marlenus which led beneath the walls of Ar.	10
16	35	"And the siege of Ar," I asked, "and the Empire of Marlenus?" "They provided a suitable test," said Misk.	10
34	68	I took the small stone in my hands and kissed it, for it was the Home Stone of the city to which I had pledged my sword, where I had ridden my first tarn, where I had met my father after an interval of more than twenty years, where I had found new friends, and to which I had taken Talena, my love, t...	10
34	159	"Perhaps," said the Older Tarl, "she attempted to reach her father, Marlenus, in the Voltai".	10
34	160	That was possible, I thought, for Marlenus, since his deposition from the throne of Ar, had lived as an Outlaw Ubar in the Voltai.	10
34	162	"If that is true," I said, "and it is heard that Ko-ro-ba is being rebuilt, Marlenus will see that she reaches the city".	10

24	418	Why had this been done to me? Was this the reward for my services? And what of Elizabeth? Was it that Marlenus had looked upon her and so pleasing did he find her that he had decreed that she be reserved for the very Pleasure Gardens of the Ubar of Ar himself, to serve him as a silken wench, one of ...	10
2	3	Not for many years had the black tunic of the Assassins been seen within the walls of Ar, not since the siege of that city in 10,110 from its founding, in the days of Marlenus, who had been Ubar; of Pa-Kur, who had been Master of the Assassins; and of the Koroban Warrior, in the songs called Tarl of...	10
2	6	The city had fallen and Pa-Kur, though of low caste, had aspired to inherit the imperial mantle of Marlenus, had dared to lift his eyes to the throne of Empire and place about his neck the golden medallion of a Ubar, a thing forbidden to such as he in the myths of the Counter-Earth.	10
2	191	Accordingly, Kazrak of Port Kar, for years Administrator of Ar, was by vote deposed and banished from the city, being publicly denied salt, bread and fire, as had been Marlenus, long years before him, once Ubar of Ar.	10
3	14	As I could I put these thoughts from my mind, but I could not fully escape them, for among them was the memory of a girl, she, Talena, the daughter of the Ubar of Ubars, Marlenus, who so many years before had been the Free Companion of a simple Warrior of Ko-ro-ba, he who had been torn from her at t...	10

12	60	"The races were better in the days of Marlenus of Ar," said a man behind me, leaning forward to speak to me.	10
12	71	"Marlenus, who was Ubar of Ar, he, the Ubar of Ubars".	10
12	75	Marlenus, who had been Ubar of Ar many years ago, had founded the Empire of Ar, and had extended the hegemony of luxurious Ar over several of the cities of the north.	10
12	78	Marlenus, because he had lost the Home Stone and because the men of Ar feared him and his ambitions, had been publicly denied bread, salt and fire, exiled from the city and forbidden to return on pain of death.	10
12	80	I knew that there were many in Ar who had not wished for the exile of Marlenus, particularly the lower castes, which he had always championed.	10
12	81	Kazrak, who had been Administrator of the City for several years, had been popular but his straightforward attention, after he had put aside the Red of the Warrior and donned the Brown of the Administrator, to numerous and complex civil and economic matters, such as reform of the courts and laws and...	10
12	82	I remembered Marlenus.	10
12	404	I had seen Marlenus of Ar.	10
13	22	Although I was sleepy from the swim and the oiling I was more concerned with wondering about Marlenus of Ar, whom I had seen in the arcade of the races this afternoon.	10
13	26	Further, abducting a wench from the Hinrabians, if a rather arrogant gesture, would not have brought Marlenus closer to the throne of Ar, nor would it have much hurt the city.	10
13	27	If Marlenus had wished to strike the Hinrabians he presumably would have flown his tarn to the central cylinder itself and cut his way to the throne of the Administrator.	10
13	28	Marlenus, I was confident, had nothing to do with the disappearance of the Hinrabian girl.	10
13	165	"When I was a little girl," she said, "when I was free I once saw Marlenus of Ar".	10
13	169	"Perhaps," I said, "someday Marlenus will return".	10
13	192	"He was Marlenus.	10
13	194	I saw no reason to tell her that this very afternoon, in the arcade of the stadium, I had seen Marlenus of Ar.	10
14	98	My mind was concerned with the appearance of Marlenus in Ar.	10
14	102	I had not known, for example, and I gathered it was not common knowledge, about the many sorties to the Voltai to find and slay Marlenus, sorties which had invariably failed.	10
18	155	"In the fourth and fifth year of the reign of Marlenus," said he, regarding me evenly, "I was first in my caste in Ar".	10
18	187	The Cylinder of the High Initiate then petitioned the High Council of the City to stop our work, but they, on the recommendation of Marlenus, who was then Ubar, permitted our work to continue".	10
18	189	"I remember Marlenus speaking to the High Initiate.	10
18	190	Marlenus told him that either the Priest-Kings approved of our work or they did not; that if they approved, it should continue; if they did not approve, they themselves, as the Masters of Gor, would be quite powerful enough to put an end to it".	10
22	607	I heard a child ask his father, "Father, who is that man?" "He is Marlenus," said the father.	10
24	11	"You are also of the party of Marlenus," I said.	10
24	15	"With Marlenus on the throne," I said, "Ar will be dangerous".	10
24	19	"Better Marlenus than Cernus, surely," said he.	10
24	21	"It has taken years for Marlenus to return," said Hup.	10
24	25	"And Marlenus?" I asked.	10
24	27	I thought of the magnificent Marlenus, swift, brilliant, decisive, stubborn, vain, proud, a master swordsman, a tarnsman, a leader like a larl among men, always to those of Ar the Ubar of Ubars.	10
24	29	Marlenus was like a god and a beast among men, inspiring the most fanatic loyalties, the most intense of enmities.	10
24	30	There are few men such that other men would fight for the right to die for them, but Marlenus, arrogant soldier, laughing Warrior, was such a man.	10
24	31	Marlenus, I knew, could never be second in a city.	10
24	33	"With the departure of Kazrak and the appointment of Minus Tentius Hinrabius as Administrator of the City," Hup continued, "the return of Marlenus became practical".	10
24	45	I think that Marlenus will give him to her".	10
24	52	It was through the girls of the baths that the plans for the uprising were transmitted to those who would follow Marlenus".	10
24	53	"Was a girl named Nela," I asked, "of the Pool of Blue Flowers, among the agents of Marlenus?" "She was chief among them," said Hup.	10
24	55	"She, with the others of the baths who worked for Marlenus, has already been freed," said Hup.	10
24	59	"But what of those girls who did not work for Marlenus?" I asked.	10
24	62	"In the guise of Murmillius," I said, "Marlenus of Ar, as things went from bad to worse in the city, in the midst of corruption and crime, gathered about himself a following".	10
24	74	Then Marlenus, as Murmillius, entered the Stadium of Tarns, followed by his hundreds, followed by their thousands.	10
24	76	These things, together with the dissatisfaction of men with the governance of the city and the safety of their homes, coupled with the memories of Ar's greatness when Marlenus had worn the medallion of supreme office, of Ar's splendor when she had stood in his day feared, foremost, magnificent and g...	10
24	77	"To those of Marlenus," I said.	10
24	79	"The ends of Marlenus are the ends of Ar".	10
24	81	"Marlenus," he said, "is the city.	10
24	84	I remembered the daughter of Marlenus, Talena, from long ago.	10
24	91	I had little wish to share now the glories of Marlenus, or whatever rewards he might, in his generosity, choose to shower upon me.	10
24	93	Marlenus had been kind to me.	10
24	99	The cause of Priest-Kings had been advanced; the restoration of Marlenus to the throne of Ar had been accomplished.	10
24	112	The palace guard was now made up of Warriors who had been of the party of Marlenus.	10
24	123	One of the decrees of Marlenus, uttered at his victory feast, yesterday evening, to rounds of drunken cheers and applause, had been to decree a two-hort, approximately two and one-half inch, heightening of the hemline in the already rather briefly skirted livery of female state slaves; this morning ...	10
24	152	On the throne itself, in the purple robes of the Ubar, regal, magnificent, sat Marlenus, Ubar of Ar, Ubar of Ubars.	10
24	156	Marlenus lifted his hand to me.	10
24	158	"Tal," said I, "Marlenus of Ar".	10
24	160	Many were the honors and awards bestowed by Marlenus on faithful retainers.	10
24	174	"Here are the most choice of the female slaves of the House of Cernus," said Marlenus, expansively gesturing to the two or three hundred girls.	10
24	175	There was a cheer from the many partisans of Marlenus in the room.	10
24	189	"Slave," said Marlenus.	10
24	194	"You are the last of the Hinrabians?" asked Marlenus.	10
24	195	"Yes, Master," she said, her head down, not daring to lift it, to gaze into the terrible countenance of Marlenus, her Ubar.	10
24	196	"Many times," said Marlenus, "your father, when Administrator of Ar, by stealth and openly, sought my destruction.	10
24	199	"He was my enemy," said Marlenus.	10
24	206	"Shall it be torture and public impalement for you?" asked Marlenus.	10
24	208	"Well?" asked Marlenus.	10
24	210	"Or perhaps," said Marlenus, "it might be more amusing to keep you as a Pleasure Slave in my Pleasure Gardens".	10
24	213	"Or should I free you?" asked Marlenus.	10
24	218	"I free you," said Marlenus, "but I free you that you may be at liberty to go where you will, and do what you wish".	10
24	220	"You will receive a pension from the state," said Marlenus, "ample to the needs of a woman of High Caste".	10
24	227	"They know nothing of slavery," said Marlenus.	10
24	247	The one double tarn remaining from the victory gold I pressed into the hands of blind Qualius, the Player, who stood at the court of the Ubar, having been, like Hup, of the party of Marlenus.	10
24	333	"I love you, Relius!" "Bring the wine of Free Companionship!" decreed Marlenus.	10
24	345	"Beast!" "Do you wish this slave?" asked Marlenus, from the throne.	10
24	347	"Very well, Wench," said Marlenus, "choose your master—" "Ubar!" she cried.	10
24	350	"Choose!" ordered Marlenus.	10
24	381	Already Marlenus had ordered wines and slave chains, and dancing silks, of diaphanous scarlet, sent to the Warrior's compartment.	10
24	383	And Marlenus, Ubar of Ar, looked down upon me.	10
24	386	"I, Marlenus, her Ubar, owe you much as well".	10
24	392	Marlenus, and Ar, owed me much, though I wished little.	10
24	393	"Therefore," said Marlenus, "prepare to receive your dues".	10
24	394	I stood before him, and looked into the eyes of Marlenus, that larl among men, Ubar of Ar, he, Ubar of Ubars.	10
24	399	Marlenus took the bread and broke it apart in his large hands.	10
24	400	"You are refused bread," said Marlenus, placing the bread back on the tray.	10
24	402	Marlenus had taken the salt, lifted it from the tray, and replaced it.	10
24	405	"No!" Marlenus then, looking at me, took the small brand of fire in his hand.	10
24	410	"You are herewith, by edict of the Ubar," said Marlenus, "commanded from the city of Ar, to depart before sundown of this day, not to return on pain of penalty of torture and impalement".	10
24	413	"Depart from my presence," decreed Marlenus.	10
24	438	"Thank Marlenus, Ubar of Ar, for me," said I.	10
24	440	"Yesterday evening," said he, "Marlenus sent her to you, to tie your sandals, to serve you wine, but you refused even to look upon her".	10
24	456	"As Ubar," said Hup, "it would ill become Marlenus to betray the law of the Home Stone of Ar".	10
24	462	"I say because I know him," said Hup, "though I might die from the saying of it, Marlenus is grieved.	10
24	466	More than man, more than Marlenus, he is Ubar of my city, of Ar itself".	10
24	470	"Then," said he, "do not think Marlenus, whatever the price or cost, his grief, his dream, would betray that of Ar".	10
24	483	"Write on the papers," said I, "that on this first day of the restoration of Marlenus of Ar, the slave Vella was by her master, Tarl of Ko-ro-ba, granted her freedom".	10
24	526	Marlenus lifted his hand in farewell.	10

11	1050	"She has been taken by Marlenus of Ar!" "Marlenus has captured Verna, the outlaw girl!" I rushed to the bars of the cage, thrilled.	10
11	312	It was said that a year ago in Ar, Marlenus, Ubar of that city, had created a sensation at a banquet given for his high officers, by presenting a slave-girl dancer before them who, though she was not in his private pleasure gardens or compartments, he had had put in earrings.	10
11	910	"If you had left Laura with Targo," he said, "you might have seen Marlenus of Ar".	10
11	921	"The duties of a Ubar," said he, "are pressing, and Marlenus looks forward to his hunting".	10
11	940	"Marlenus will capture her," he said, "and send her in a cage to Ar".	10
11	947	I was not displeased that Marlenus was hunting Verna, and her girls.	10
11	1060	"Marlenus will tame her," I said.	10
11	1392	She had captured me, and sold me for a hundred arrow points! How humiliating, and insulting! I was worth gold! Gold! Perhaps Marlenus, her captor, would choose to put her on the block! Perhaps she would sell for a hundred arrow points! But I would bring gold, much gold! I looked about at the slave f...	10
12	101	"It is the catch of Marlenus!" cried a man.	10
12	119	Marlenus' hunting must have ranged widely.	10
12	120	Here and there, among the wagons, leashed, clad in short woolen skirts, heavy bands of iron hammered about their throats, under the guard of huntsmen, cowled in the heads of forest panthers, there walked male slaves, male outlaws captured by Marlenus and his hunters in the forest.	10
12	314	Doubtless Marlenus had given orders that she be exhibited in various cities and villages on the route to Ar, his prize, that she might thus, this beautiful captive, an outlaw girl well known on Gor, considerably redound to his prestige and glory.	10
12	316	Then, I supposed, she would be publicly enslaved, and perhaps by the hand of Marlenus himself.	10
12	455	Over against one long wall of the stockade was the camp of the huntsmen of Marlenus.	10
13	741	In the reign of Marlenus, prior to his exile, and later, after his restoration, the Margin of Desolation had been deliberately left untended, that it might recover.	10
13	742	Marlenus had set a swift fleet of light, Vosk galleys to clear the river waters adjoining his Ubarate of pirates.	10
13	745	Other cities, to the north, of course, looked with apprehension on Marlenus' permitting the Margin of Desolation to recover its fertility and shade.	10
13	747	On the other hand, under Marlenus, it became clear that Ar no longer feared for her borders.	10
13	748	Also, the ambition of Marlenus, the Ubar of Ar, said to be the Ubar of Ubars, was well known.	10
14	130	I expected Marlenus of Ar, its Ubar, said to be the Ubar of Ubars, would give much to know the location of this small, palisaded camp.	10
15	325	Later, south of Ko-ro-ba, when I was caged, among the prizes in the hunting retinue of Marlenus of Ar, you, with another girl, whose name was Lana, much abused me".	10
15	362	"They are from the hunting retinue of Marlenus of Ar," I whispered.	10
15	375	"When it became known that Marlenus, in his hunting, for his sport, would seek her, Rask of Treve gave order for Raf and Pron to attempt to join his retinue".	10
15	377	"That," said Ena, "Marlenus, if successful, might be deprived of his prize".	10
15	380	"You mean she has been freed only that Marlenus of Ar might be deprived of his prize?" "Of course," said Ena.	10
15	383	"Is it not a superb insult to Marlenus and Ar!" she breathed.	10
15	393	"The others remain caged prizes in the retinue of Marlenus," said Ena.	10
15	404	What shameless, wanton slave girls they were! "Rask of Treve hates Marlenus of Ar," said Ena.	10
15	433	Other girls had prepared the repast, which, for the war camp, was sumptuous indeed, containing even oysters from the delta of the Vosk, a portion of the plunder of a tarn caravan of Ar, such delicacies having been intended for the very table of Marlenus, the Ubar of that great city itself.	10
15	487	"It was destined for the table of Marlenus of Ar," said Rask of Treve.	10
15	500	"Who is she?" "Talena," said Rask, smiling, "the daughter of Marlenus of Ar".	10
15	508	"I am the enemy of Marlenus of Ar!" cried Verna.	10
15	509	"Give her to me!" "I, too, am the enemy of Marlenus of Ar," said Rask.	10
15	525	"I acquired her about a year ago," said Rask of Treve, "from a merchant of Tyros, who was traveling by caravan overland to Ar, with the intention of returning her, for a recompense, to Marlenus of Ar".	10
16	210	Doubtless she was much pleased to put the daughter of her enemy, Marlenus of Ar, he who had captured her in the northern forests, and had caged her, and exhibited her, in a simple rep-cloth work tunic.	10

6	163	So, why might she not, provided the sale is secret, sell Talena to me, regardless of the outcome of her pursuit of Marlenus?" "Perhaps she would fear you would simply, for gold, return Talena to Marlenus," said Thurnock.	10
10	4	"Marlenus! Marlenus!" cried a voice.	10
11	1	Marlenus Holds a Flaminium In the camp of Marlenus, some pasangs north of Laura, I supped with the great Ubar.	10
11	734	"Do you sense in yourself a readiness," Marlenus asked her, "to serve as what you now are, as a slave girl?" "Yes," she said, "yes, Master!" "Clothe yourself," said Marlenus.	10
14	45	He would also hold, of course, several female slaves, Sheera, Cara, Tina and Grenna, taken from my camp; Verna and her women, taken from the camp of Marlenus; and the girls of Marlenus, taken, too, from his camp.	10
21	15	Marlenus, Rim, Arn, and the men of Marlenus chained within the stockade came forward.	10
1	62	"Talena, daughter of Marlenus of Ar, I learn, has been taken as slave to the northern forests," I said.	10
1	93	"It is long since you have been the Free Companion of Talena, daughter of Marlenus," said Samos.	10
1	105	I had never forgotten her, the beautiful, olive-skinned, green-eyed Talena, so stunningly figured, such fantastic lips, the proud blood of Marlenus of Ar, Ubar of Ar, Ubar of Ubars, in her veins.	10
1	111	"She was taken to the northern forests, I have learned," I said, "by the outlaw girl, Verna, to serve as bait for her capture of Marlenus of Ar, who is presumed to be concerned for her rescue".	10
1	113	"Marlenus, on a hunting expedition, with other animals, captured Verna, and her girls.	10
2	199	"Marlenus of Ar," he said, "was in Lydius five days ago".	10
2	206	"This did not please Marlenus," said he.	10
2	209	"Where is Marlenus now?" I asked.	10
3	20	I knew I was some days behind Marlenus of Ar, who now, I supposed, might be in Laura, upriver.	10
3	124	They were not of the retinue of Marlenus, whom I now believed to be in Laura, or in the vicinity of Laura.	10
3	126	I wished to reach Verna before Marlenus of Ar.	10
3	128	I had information, specific information, thanks to Tana and Ela, which Marlenus, presumably, lacked.	10
6	93	"Further," I said, "it is my understanding that Verna expects Marlenus of Ar to pursue her.	10
6	100	"But Marlenus," said Thurnock, "he is a great Ubar.	10
6	102	"Marlenus," I said, "is a great Ubar, but he is not always wise".	10
6	103	"Marlenus," said Rim, "doubtless believes himself to be the hunter.	10
6	151	"Verna has taken Talena to the forests, to bait a trap for Marlenus.	10
6	155	"Suppose Marlenus falls to Verna," I suggested.	10
6	157	"Marlenus? Fall to Verna?" asked Thurnock.	10
6	159	"I do not think Marlenus, who is a proud man, well understands that".	10
6	161	"But," said I, "the important thing to Verna's plan is that Marlenus believe that she holds Talena.	10
6	167	A Merchant of Tabor, accordingly, fearing Tyros, would not be likely to return Talena to Marlenus.	10
6	204	Should Marlenus fall to Verna and her band, Tyros might be much interested in his acquisition".	10
6	207	"Perhaps they are not interested in Marlenus," said Rim, looking at me.	10
6	351	The camp of Marlenus, the great Ubar of Ar, I had learned, was somewhere within the forest, north or northwest of Laura.	10
6	353	Marlenus, I was certain, would be overconfident.	10
6	497	"Not for Marlenus of Ar?" she asked.	10
6	500	Then she mused, "Verna told us that Marlenus of Ar would not approach us as you have done, and that he would not use a merchant to do his business for him".	10
6	503	Marlenus, with men, would hunt the forests.	10
6	505	"Do you know Marlenus is in the forest?" she asked.	10
6	514	"You speak of Talena," smiled Mira, "the daughter of Marlenus of Ar".	10
6	522	"If you obtained her," said Mira, "would you sell her back to Marlenus of Ar, for even more?" "It is not my intention," I said, "to take a profit on her".	10
6	544	"And, Merchant," said she, "do not seek hereafter to mix in the affairs of Verna and Marlenus".	10
6	744	Marlenus does not.	10
7	111	I could strike before Marlenus of Ar could find it.	10
7	114	Marlenus, in Ar, had once banished me, denying me bread, fire and salt.	10
7	119	The glory that was to have been Marlenus' would now be mine.	10
8	96	Perhaps they were lying in ambush, pasangs away, for a party of the men of Marlenus.	10
8	97	Perhaps they, because of Hura or Marlenus, or for other reasons, had decided to abandon their camp? I looked about.	10
9	134	"Talena," she said, "by my permission, by one of my women, sent a missive in her own handwriting to Marlenus, her father, the great Ubar".	10
9	143	"Marlenus," she said, "in his great fist, crumpled this note, and discarded it, throwing it in the fire".	10
9	146	"Marlenus is gone?" I asked.	10
9	149	"I myself took the missive to Marlenus.	10
9	153	"I cannot believe Marlenus has withdrawn," I said.	10
9	158	"Yes," laughed Verna, "according to the codes of the warriors and by the rites of the city of Ar, no longer is Talena kin or daughter of Marlenus of Ar".	10
9	160	According to irreversible ceremonies, both of the warriors and of the city of Ar, Talena was no longer the daughter of Marlenus.	10
9	174	"Anticipating such a desire," laughed Verna, "we had written confirmation of the enactment, signed with the seal of Marlenus himself.	10
9	175	Further, documents proclaiming the disowning, officially notarized with the seals of Ar and Marlenus, will soon be posted in all the major Gorean cities".	10
9	205	Doubtless in Tyros there will be several who would not be displeased to have in their pleasure gardens one who was once the daughter of Marlenus of Ar".	10
9	314	How brave and noble I had been to enter the forests, to rescue the beautiful Talena, daughter of Marlenus of Ar.	10
9	333	The glory that was to have been Marlenus' would have been mine.	10
9	344	No longer was she the daughter of Marlenus.	10
9	357	And I, a fool with my dreams, had come into the forest, to rescue her, to best Marlenus, and improve my fortunes, to rescue the beautiful Talena and improve the fortunes of the house of Bosk.	10
9	359	Marlenus had disowned her, and had withdrawn from the forests.	10
9	472	"Greetings," said Marlenus of Ar.	10
10	1	Marlenus Will Hold Discourse with Me The girls' hands were tied behind their backs.	10
10	2	Marlenus handed Verna to one of his men.	10
10	6	One of Marlenus' men held her by the arm.	10
10	8	"It is Mira!" Marlenus looked up.	10
10	12	"Traitress!" cried Verna, held by the man to whom Marlenus had handed her.	10
10	17	"I can take any city," said Marlenus, "behind whose walls I can get a tarn of gold".	10
10	19	"My thanks," said I, "Marlenus of Ar".	10
10	22	Marlenus rose to his feet and I, unsteadily, did so, too.	10
10	23	Marlenus unclasped his own hunting cloak, and hurled it to me.	10
10	26	Marlenus, as always, was victorious.	10
10	28	Marlenus looked at Verna.	10
10	34	Marlenus stood over her.	10
10	38	"But though you are an outlaw," said Marlenus, looking down upon Verna, "you are also a woman".	10
10	40	"It is for that reason," said Marlenus, "that I do not have you now hung upon a tree".	10
10	43	"Rejoice that you are a woman," said Marlenus.	10
10	47	"Yes," said Marlenus, looking down upon her, "it is only your sex that has saved you".	10
10	50	"Yes," said Marlenus, "it is to your sex that you owe your life".	10
10	56	Marlenus laughed.	10
10	63	"But this one," said Marlenus, reaching out and shaking Mira's head with his large hand, "was the most useful of all".	10
10	69	"Yes," said Marlenus.	10
10	73	"Then she betrayed to you the location of the camp and dancing circle?" "Yes," said Marlenus.	10
10	75	"We went first to the camp," said Marlenus.	10
10	78	"But their heads had been shaved," said Marlenus.	10
10	80	"Some of them appear to be outlaws," said Marlenus.	10
10	82	Marlenus smiled.	10
10	87	"Curiosity," said Marlenus, "is not becoming in a Kajira.	10
10	90	"We owe each other much," said Marlenus, putting his hands on my shoulders.	10
10	94	"Yes," said Marlenus, "for long ago you had purloined the Home Stone of Ar".	10
10	96	"I learned from spies," said Marlenus, "that you were come to the forests".	10
10	101	Marlenus laughed.	10
10	106	"It does not count, I trust," I asked, "being your camp, as part of the realm of Ar?" Marlenus laughed.	10
10	122	Marlenus' eyes were suddenly hard.	10
10	124	"The document," said Marlenus, "was not forged.	10
10	126	"Then the disownment," I said, "is true?" "It is true, and it is valid," said Marlenus.	10
10	131	"Who," asked Marlenus, "is this person of whom you speak?" I was silent.	10
10	132	Then Marlenus turned to Verna.	10
10	135	"It is my intention to free her," said Marlenus.	10
10	138	"She will have an adequate pension, and quarters in the palace," said Marlenus.	10
10	142	Marlenus nodded.	10
10	145	"Are you always victorious, Marlenus of Ar?" she asked.	10
10	146	Marlenus turned away from her, and went to examine the line of bound girls, Verna's band.	10
10	154	"My pretties," said Marlenus, addressing the line of secured women, "earlier I thought that you were much aroused".	10
10	162	Marlenus returned to where Verna lay bound.	10
10	178	"You had best chain me heavily, Ubar," she warned Marlenus.	10
10	179	"Slave bracelets, or a sirik, will be sufficient to hold you," said Marlenus.	10
10	188	"And you will be returned to Ar," said Marlenus, "not in a retinue, but on tarnback, like any other captive girl".	10
10	190	Marlenus, patient as a hunter, waited until she again regarded him.	10
10	193	"And," said Marlenus, "I will have your ears pierced".	10
10	195	"You weep," said Marlenus, "like a woman".	10
10	197	Marlenus sat down, cross-legged, by Verna.	10
10	215	For a long time Marlenus studied the expressions on Verna's face.	10
10	222	Marlenus looked up at me.	10
10	224	"You may have any of them, if you wish," said Marlenus.	10
10	226	After an Ahn Marlenus said.	10
10	231	"Present the slaves," said Marlenus, "to their leader".	10
10	240	"At your camp," Marlenus informed Verna, "we will put them in proper chains".	10
10	241	Marlenus then released Verna's wrists, and her right ankle.	10
10	249	Marlenus locked bracelets on her.	10
10	252	"Free yourself," said Marlenus.	10
10	255	"They are slave bracelets," said Marlenus.	10
10	258	"And you, my pretty," said Marlenus, "are a woman".	10
10	260	Marlenus then took a length of binding fiber, of some eight feet in length, and knotted one end of it about Verna's throat.	10
10	267	"Are you always victorious, Marlenus of Ar?" she asked.	10
10	268	"Lead us, little tabuk," said Marlenus, "to your stall".	10
10	270	"We have much to talk about," Marlenus was telling me.	10
11	4	I could see, too, Marlenus' men, at their fires and shelters.	10
11	7	"Wine," said Marlenus.	10
11	9	"Would you care for a game?" asked Marlenus, indicating a board and pieces which stood to one side.	10
11	13	I had played Marlenus before.	10
11	15	I myself am an aggressive player, but against Marlenus it seemed always necessary to defend.	10
11	18	Marlenus was a superb player.	10
11	42	"Very well," said Marlenus.	10
11	47	Marlenus had now been in his camp for five days, hunting.	10
11	50	"I have not yet finished hunting," said Marlenus.	10
11	53	"I have little interest," said Marlenus, "in slaves".	10
11	55	Marlenus looked down into his cup, swirling the liquid.	10
11	56	"Once, perhaps," said Marlenus, "she was a citizen of Ar".	10
11	58	"She is no longer a citizen of Ar," said Marlenus.	10
11	68	"I know of no person by that name," said Marlenus.	10
11	69	"Surely," I said, "you will have pity on a slave, however unworthy, who was once a citizen of Ar?" "I shall free her, or have her freed," said Marlenus.	10
11	74	"But," said Marlenus, "I think I will have a few days hunting first".	10
11	77	Marlenus snapped his fingers, pointing to his cup on the table.	10
11	88	"Leave us, Slave," said Marlenus.	10
11	92	Marlenus, with two huntsmen, had taken her within the Ahn.	10
11	93	Marlenus, who had hunted in the forests since his boyhood, was a master of woodcraft.	10
11	96	Marlenus had then handed her over to a huntsman.	10
11	98	Marlenus, and most of those about the camp, had not bothered to watch.	10
11	102	During her beating, and afterward, Marlenus and I had been engaged in playing the game.	10
11	105	When Marlenus ordered her freed from the post, he stood nearby.	10
11	109	Marlenus treated her no differently than any other new girl.	10
11	112	In the camp of Marlenus she was only another girl.	10
11	116	With a similar lack of ceremony Marlenus had fastened her collar on her.	10
11	117	But in some respects Marlenus had treated her differently from the others, as more of a slave, more of a common girl.	10
11	120	The panther girls, in Marlenus' camp, though they were kept chained, were permitted to wear the skins of panthers.	10
11	123	"Put it on," had said Marlenus.	10
11	125	I noted, and I do not doubt but that it was detected, too, by Marlenus, that her body, as she drew the brief, exotic, degrading silk about her, subtly and unmistakably, was shaken by an involuntary tremor of sensuality.	10
11	133	It was not ordinary silk Marlenus had thrown to her.	10
11	140	She now stood before Marlenus, so clad.	10
11	145	It seemed important to Marlenus to separate her girls from her.	10
11	155	When Marlenus took his meals in his tent, or wished refreshments or wine, Verna, the new girl, served him.	10
11	156	* * * * "Have you used her yet?" I asked Marlenus.	10
11	159	"That is enough," said Marlenus, and the girl withdrew to one side, to wait until she must serve again.	10
11	160	Marlenus turned and looked at her.	10
11	166	"If you will observe," said Marlenus, who had studied thousands of women, "she seems ready, even marvelous, but yet there is a subtle unreadiness, a subtle stiffness in her body.	10
11	169	"Remove your clothing, and stand," said Marlenus.	10
11	171	"You see?" asked Marlenus.	10
11	179	"Place your palms on your thighs," said Marlenus.	10
11	183	I also noted a tenseness about her diaphragm, doubtless that which Marlenus had wished to indicate.	10
11	185	"Turn about," said Marlenus.	10
11	190	"Yes," said Marlenus.	10
11	198	"Disregard," said Marlenus, "the obvious things, her pride, her anger, the clenched fists".	10
11	211	"You see," said Marlenus.	10
11	213	"Face us," said Marlenus.	10
11	215	"You see then in this woman," said Marlenus, "though she is beautiful, an unreadiness".	10
11	217	"You may clothe yourself," said Marlenus.	10
11	221	"Look upon her," said Marlenus.	10
11	225	Marlenus did not take his eyes from the beautiful slave.	10
11	227	"In her, as yet," said Marlenus, "there is a coldness, an arrogance, a loftiness, a stubborn defiance, a pride, an ice".	10
11	229	She looked at Marlenus, in fury.	10
11	231	"Serve us wine," said Marlenus, "and then leave".	10
11	233	When she had left, Marlenus looked at me.	10
11	240	Marlenus laughed.	10
11	246	"Do you truly think," he asked, "that I, Marlenus of Ar, will wait for En'Kara?" "I suppose not," I said.	10
11	247	"Other men," said Marlenus, "might be content to wait for the breezes of En'Kara to loosen the ice, to soften it and let the river run unimprisoned".	10
11	249	"In owning a woman," said Marlenus, "as in the game, one must seize the initiative.	10
11	254	Marlenus played a savage game.	10
11	261	"If you were this flower," asked Marlenus, "and you could speak, what would you do?" "I suppose," I said, "if I were such a flower, I would beg for mercy".	10
11	262	"Yes," said Marlenus.	10
11	265	"Excellent," said Marlenus.	10
11	267	"Such women," said Marlenus, "once conquered, make the most abject and superb slaves".	10
11	276	"Suppose," I said to Marlenus, "the flower does not beg for mercy".	10
11	278	"You play a savage game," said I, "Marlenus".	10
11	281	Marlenus would not wait for the ice in the river to melt.	10
11	285	"I will tell her," said Marlenus, "when to put a talender in her hair".	10
11	289	"When does your game begin?" I asked Marlenus.	10
11	290	"It has already begun," said Marlenus.	10
