2	238	He added, "That is why I like to think of the planet as the Counter-Earth, not only because of its resemblance to our native world, but because, as a matter of fact, it is placed as a counterpoise to the Earth.	10
3	52	"You must learn," Torm had said matter-of-factly, "the history and legends of Gor, its geography and economics, its social structures and customs, such as the caste system and clan groups, the right of placing the Home Stone, the Places of Sanctuary, when quarter is and is not permitted in war, and ...	10
3	119	I had little time for speculation, however, as I was trying to bear up under an arduous schedule which seemed designed to force me to become a Gorean in a matter of weeks or perhaps see me die in the attempt.	10
3	135	"Ah!" he said, and closed his eyes very slowly and kept them shut for about a minute, during which time he was apparently subjecting the matter to the most intense scrutiny.	10
3	155	I once talked to my father about the matter, and he merely said that there were many things on Gor worse than the lot of slavery, particularly that of a Tower Slave.	10
3	247	It is a matter of blood and spirit, of beast and man, of a relation between two beings which must be immediate, intuitive, spontaneous.	10
4	79	I was surprised, for this was the first time I had known that my father had been War Chieftain of the city, or that he was even now its supreme civil official, or, for that matter, that the city was named Ko-ro-ba, a now archaic expression for a village market.	10
5	22	In a matter of time Ko-ro-ba would be forced to match its comparative handful of tarnsmen against those of the Empire of Ar.	10
5	61	Presumably, it would be at least a matter of minutes before her identity was discovered, and, before that, she would take the poison provided by the Council.	10
5	141	Needless to say, tarns are a threat to any living matter that is luckless enough to fall within the shadow of their wings, even human beings.	10
6	164	Now, in a matter of minutes, the skeleton was visible, picked almost clean, the bones gleaming except where small lizards skittered about on them, seeking a last particle of flesh.	10
6	188	"Spiders are, as a matter of fact, particularly clean insects," I remarked, my eyes informing her that I was inspecting her comparatively filthy garments.	10
7	121	In what seemed like hours but must have been a matter of only a few seconds, it gave, leaping upward out of the mud.	10
9	49	This practice, as once in England, is more than a simple matter of convention.	10
9	172	"You should use the whip on her," said the warrior matter-of-factly.	10
10	6	It is a matter of caste, an expression of respect for those who share their station and profession, having nothing to do with cities or Home Stones.	10
12	80	Then I remember laughing foolishly, like a madman, when I considered that it wouldn't matter, that I would never have any further use for them.	10
14	69	He had not asked and did not now appear to have much interest in the matter.	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	211	"Perhaps," suggested Mintar, "the young tarnsman might attend to the matter of Talena, daughter of Marlenus".	10
17	20	Rumor had it that dozens of tunnels, unimpeded, now extended beneath the second wall and could be opened in a matter of hours at various places in the city.	10
18	17	In a matter of perhaps less than a minute I hovered over the summit of the interior wall near the great gate.	10
18	78	I did know that sometimes the pathetic inmates of Dar-Kosis Pits, repenting their decision to be incarcerated, had managed to cut footholds in the walls and escape, but the labor involved—a matter of years—the death penalty for being discovered, and the very risk of the climb made such...	10
18	138	Ripping savagely with his steel-shod talons, slashing with his scimitarlike beak, my sable war tarn in a matter of seconds left the attacking tarn a shuddering heap of feathers.	10
19	164	It was only a matter of time before the last of the men of Ar would be forced over the edge of the cylinder.	10
19	201	It was now a matter of only a few strokes more and the Assassin would lie at my feet, lifeless.	10
20	72	Who or what are the Priest-Kings that they should so determine the lives of others, that they should rule a planet, terrorize the cities of a world, commit men to the Flame Death, tear lovers from each other's arms? No matter how fearful their power, they must be challenged.	10

Book 2. (14 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	24	They could strip a carcass in a matter of minutes, each carrying back some fluttering ribbon of flesh to the recesses of whatever dark cave the swarm had chosen for its home.	10
4	16	In a matter of perhaps two or three seconds, it had drawn perhaps a gill of liquid.	10
6	22	It is a different matter, of course, if it is explicitly known that the outlaw is from a city other than one's own.	10
6	40	For that matter, though I did not seriously consider the possibility, being without a city, in effect an outlaw, I was entitled in the Gorean way of thinking to take the bird or its purchase price in any way I saw fit.	10
6	198	I admired the simple maneuver, executed without command, almost a matter of reflex, and sensed why Tharna, in spite of being ruled by a woman, had survived among the hostile cities of Gor.	10
8	50	Besides, as they did not know that I knew they followed me, this gave me a certain advantage in the matter.	10
12	71	That would be a serious matter in Gorean eyes.	10
15	2	Beyond this it is all a matter of the tarn-straps and the tarn-goad.	10
15	9	The bird, of course, could not have been conditioned in so short a time, nor for that matter had it even been my intention to condition the bird—for I had spoken only for the benefit of Talena.	10
15	144	She seemed shaken by this matter of fact answer.	10
15	200	"Alas," she cried, "not even I can do that, but I can free your friends! I will free them! My freedom for theirs!" I appeared to think the matter over.	10
19	7	"This is a matter for the men of Tharna," said he.	10
21	243	As I looked at her I asked myself why she, and why not another, or why any? What would it matter if her thigh, too, should wear that graceful brand? I supposed it was mostly the institution of slavery I objected to, and that that institution was not altered if I should, as an act of foolish sentimen...	10
25	115	It did not seem it could have been a matter of caste obligation for this obligation had been owed not to Dorna but to Lara.	10

Book 3. (45 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	66	If there is an optimum configuration for a land predator, I suppose on my old world the palm must go to the Bengal tiger; but on Gor the prize belongs indisputably to the mountain larl; and I cannot but believe that the structural similarities between the two animals, though of different worlds, are...	10
6	22	I dismissed the matter from my mind.	10
6	67	The girl was apparently unwilling to speak more of this matter, and so I did not press her.	10
7	89	If it were a matter of waiting I acknowledged that the Priest-King, if such it were, who followed me had had the best of things.	10
8	44	Perhaps one of the almost inexhaustible energy bulbs, which can burn for years, had as a simple matter of fact at last burned out.	10
8	185	"Vika," I asked, "was your father truly of the Caste of Physicians?" "Yes," she said, "why do you ask?" "It does not matter," I said.	10
9	49	"It doesn't matter," said Vika, "for she was only an animal bred in the pens of Ar".	10
9	107	I would not press her further on the matter.	10
9	205	"What is the matter?" she asked.	10
10	10	Oddly enough, few of the Priest-Kings whom I questioned on this matter seemed to draw the distinction clearly between hearing and smelling.	10
10	33	I was told, incidentally, that the language of the Priest-Kings does possess more morphemes than English but I do not know if the report is truthful or not, for Priest-Kings tend to be somewhat touchy on the matter of any comparisons, particularly those to their disadvantage or putative disadvantage...	10
10	34	On the other hand it may well be the case that, as a matter of fact, the morpheme set of the language of Priest-Kings is indeed larger than that of English.	10
12	71	"Nonetheless," he said, "I shall speak to the Mother about this matter".	10
12	127	"Not the least interesting aspect of this matter," said Sarm, "is the match".	10
12	186	But I had no wish to kill him, nor as a matter of fact to injure him severely.	10
13	22	As far as it goes this was not bad guesswork on my part, but deeper reasons underlay the matter.	10
14	70	* * * * It is not hard to get used to Mul-Fungus, for it has almost no taste, being an extremely bland, pale, whitish, fibrous vegetablelike matter.	10
15	125	"It is a difficult and obscure matter".	10
16	45	"There is dispute on the matter".	10
16	135	"It is a simple matter," said Misk, "to disrupt a magnetic field".	10
17	27	The occurrence of the expression on Sarm's translator tape, simple as it was, indicated that he had gone to a good deal of trouble, and that the matter, for some reason, was rather important to him.	10
17	116	"If it could be done," I said, "what would you do?" "It is a simple matter," said Sarm, "to overload the net's power capacity".	10
18	83	"In the meantime," said Mul-Al-Ka, gazing with unconcealed fascination at the accelerator strips in the transportation disk, "let us concentrate on the matter of the transportation disk".	10
19	47	"The matter is obscure," said Sarm.	10
19	72	"It is not a matter of concern for humans," said Sarm.	10
19	97	"In the accomplishing of this matter you do a great service to the Nest and to Priest-Kings, and thereby will you gain great glory for yourself and a life of honor and riches, the first of which will be the slave girl Vika of Treve".	10
21	29	"What is the matter?" asked Mul-Al-Ka.	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
24	61	How was it then, I asked myself, that such a slow, awkward, clumsy creature, no matter how formidable at close range, could capture and slay an organism as alert and swift as a Priest-King? I moved Vika's limbs and rubbed her hands to see if I could restore her circulation to a more normal level.	10
25	49	I was not certain whether, as a matter of fact, they would open the door or not, but I thought it best that both of them could honestly report that they had seen me enter the tunnels and had not seen me return.	10
26	89	I had made my decision and I was now in no mood to debate the matter with the slave girl, so I did not respond.	10
26	198	I wondered if this were perhaps the first time in her life in a matter of importance to her that she had not had her way with a man.	10
26	278	Gorean thinking on this matter tends to be expressed by the saying that a slave girl grows bold if her lips are allowed to touch the name of her master.	10
26	279	On the other hand, I, like many Gorean masters, provided the girl was not testing or challenging me, and provided that free women, or others, were not present whom I had no wish to offend or upset, preferred as a matter of fact to have my own name on the girl's lips, for I think, with acknowledged v...	10
26	281	"May I ask," she queried, "where my master goes?" I considered the matter and smiled at her.	10
27	14	I assured him I would give the matter serious consideration and departed, hearing him congratulate me on my good fortune in having been permitted to become a Mul rather than having to remain a lowly Matok.	10
27	324	"I said nothing to him but I considered what he had said, and I thought on this matter, and at last—in league with the Second Born, who has since succumbed to the Pleasures of the Golden Beetle, I set aside a female egg to be concealed from Sarm beyond the Nest".	10
28	4	Unused, they had lain encased in plastic quivers for a matter of centuries and yet when these quivers were broken open and the weapons seized up by angry Priest-Kings they were as ready for their grim work as they had been when first they were stored away.	10
28	92	Moreover, the Vivarium Attendants were gone and the other cages were empty and so it would only be a matter of time before she would starve.	10
28	122	It was no longer in my heart to be cruel to Vika of Treve, no matter who or what she might be.	10
28	146	"It is merely a matter of changing the chambers in which we pasture".	10
28	229	Perhaps one should not expatiate on this matter but the sensation tends to be an unsettling one, particularly at first.	10
28	246	We were considering this matter when suddenly without warning one wall of Misk's compartment seemed suddenly to blur and lift and then silently to vanish into powder, so light and fine that some of it drifted upward to be withdrawn through the ventilator shaft through which used air was drawn from t...	10
33	68	I surmised that, pending some form of military victory of Ar over the other cities or some form of large-scale political reordering of the planet, the Initiate of Ar's claims would remain a matter of dispute.	10
34	42	"Well," said Torm, thoughtfully, for it did not behoove a member of his caste to volunteer an opinion too rapidly on any matter, "it does not contradict any text with which I am familiar".	10

Book 4. (39 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
9	118	I would have questioned him on this matter, but he had turned to a man behind him and was talking with him, some matter I gathered pertaining to the feast.	10
26	406	"But what does it matter?" "It would matter to a Tuchuk," said Kamchak.	10
3	46	What could I tell him? Surely here, in this matter, I must bide my time.	10
3	116	In their way I knew they were honoring me, that they had respected my stand in the matter of the charging lances, that now they were gambling to see who would win me, to whose weapons my blood must flow, beneath the paws of whose kaiila I must fall bloodied to the earth.	10
5	116	I was about to press Kamchak on this matter when we heard a sudden shout and the squealing of kaiila from among the wagons.	10
7	205	Yet it seemed strange that anyone, no matter who, would dare to use the name of Priest-Kings falsely.	10
8	267	Tuka, in the matter of teaching Elizabeth the language, had been especially cruel.	10
8	531	I wondered what was the matter with her.	10
8	553	In this matter I must be Tuchuk.	10
9	189	"I must think on the matter," Kamchak was saying, not taking his eyes from Aphris of Turia.	10
10	271	It was only then that it had occurred to me that both girls might have been acquired in the games; as a matter of fact, however, I later learned that only Tenchika had been so acquired; Dina had first felt the thongs of a master beside the burning wagons of a caravan in which she had purchased passa...	10
10	453	The fact that the saber is not a common weapon of Wagon Peoples is a reflection of the style, nature and conditions of warfare to which they are accustomed, a matter of choice on their part rather than the result of either ignorance or technological limitation.	10
10	561	With his boots he kept rotating about, always facing Kamras no matter from which direction he came.	10
11	85	"It does not matter," said Kamchak soothingly to the girl.	10
12	46	Kamchak, not a man to part easily with a tarn disk, had apparently received inside word on the matter.	10
12	72	Actually, as a matter of fact, both were.	10
12	386	But this matter was dismissed from my mind by the performance which was about to begin.	10
12	511	By this time the owner of the wagon, who was naturally curious about the matter, was beside me.	10
13	124	This matter was arranged to their mutual satisfaction.	10
13	138	I had not mentioned the matter of the Paravaci quiva which had almost struck me last night, having been in the morning disturbed about the disappearance of Elizabeth Cardwell and in the afternoon busy following Kamchak about in his rounds.	10
13	139	I resolved to mention the matter to him sometime—but not this evening—for I was convinced this would not be a good evening for anyone in the wagon, except perhaps for Kamchak, who seemed pleased about the arrangements he had made with the herder pertaining to crossing livestock and the...	10
13	142	Among the animals I saw many verr; some domestic tarsks, their tusks sheathed; cages of flapping vulos, some sleen, some kaiila, even some bosk; by the Paravaci haruspexes I saw manacled male slaves, if such were to be permitted; commonly, I understood from Kamchak, the Tuchuks, Kassars and Kataii r...	10
15	115	"On an important matter?" I inquired.	10
16	251	They used wines in which, as a matter of fact, things could be and were, upon occasion, stirred—mostly spices and sugars.	10
16	314	The matter of the message collar had been a clever way of attempting to gain that end but, because of the shrewdness of Tuchuks, who seldom take anything at its face value, it had failed; they had then attempted to bring me down among the wagons with a Paravaci quiva, but that, too, had failed; I gr...	10
18	67	It seemed that the living, amorphous globe of matter which I struck began to move away, slithering away in the yellow fluids, but I pursued it, one hand in the torn membrane and continued to slash and tear at it.	10
20	86	"That is all well and good," responded Harold, "but can you not impart certain important information relating to the matter in a briefer span?" "Come to the roof!" I cried.	10
20	145	"What is the matter?" asked Harold.	10
21	163	In thinking of her I realized how foolish are certain of the Gorean prejudices with respect to the matter of caste.	10
21	166	There I thought long on the matter of the egg of Priest-Kings and the House of Saphrar.	10
22	160	"What is the matter?" I asked him.	10
23	62	These two hundred, afoot, suddenly looking up with their quivas and axes, startled, screaming, were ridden down in a matter of an Ehn.	10
23	100	It would be, of course, only a matter of time before our barricade would be forced or outflanked, perhaps from five pasangs distant, in an undefended sector.	10
23	139	"What does it matter?" I asked.	10
23	148	"I see," I said, "what does it matter?" "Look!" he screamed, leaping up and down.	10
23	198	It was not that they, on this night, truly distrusted one another so much as the fact that a lifetime of raiding and war had determined each to be, as a simple matter of course, wary of the other.	10
25	36	For that matter many Tuchuks could not, and the engraving on the collars of their slaves was often no more than a sign which was known to be theirs.	10
26	540	Then I asked, "By the way, as a matter of fact, what did you pay for her?" Kamchak's face was black with rage.	10
27	16	As a matter of course various goods and riches were heaped about his throne, and among them, as part of the booty, there knelt some of the most beautiful of Turia's maidens, clad only in the Sirik, but at his right knee, unchained and clad Kajir, there knelt Aphris of Turia.	10

Book 5. (26 results) Assassin of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	148	Finally it grew late in the end game and it would be but a matter of four or five moves and the Player's Home Stone must be lost.	10
4	86	The Older Tarl, my father and I long discussed the matter.	10
5	224	There are individual signals and a master signal, permitting an individual slave to be immediately secured, no matter where he is in the Nest, or every slave in the Nest.	10
5	234	I questioned Misk on this, but he seemed evasive, and I gather he did not wish to speak further to me on the matter, so, as he wished, I did not speak more of it.	10
5	246	They were used largely as a matter of tradition, but the humans of the Nest suggested refinements in the technique, leaving them to us to develop, of course".	10
5	375	"They acted boldly in the matter of attempting to interfere with the acquisition of the last egg of Priest-Kings," I pointed out.	10
5	421	"I knew," said Misk, "I should not have spoken of this matter with you".	10
5	427	"Will you not even let me decide the matter for myself?" I asked.	10
5	709	"It is a simple matter of fact," she said.	10
6	101	I resolved that most of my problems in this matter might be solved if I simply refused to release Elizabeth until she had given her word, which she takes quite seriously, to be at least civil.	10
9	105	On the other hand, sometimes the matter is much more subtle and sinister.	10
13	17	What puzzled me about the matter was that she had been abducted.	10
13	82	In a matter of about ten Ihn, however, seeing me approach ever more closely, she began to move with a deliberate, swift ease.	10
13	275	Some Assassins are, as a matter of fact, skilled tarnsmen.	10
14	53	"I did not realize the matter would be so easy," she said.	10
15	188	She had, as a matter of fact, hated and resented men.	10
15	329	Grace and beauty, following Sura, and I would scarcely dare dispute such an authority, is mostly a matter of expression, both that of the face and body.	10
17	308	"It seems I am not going to be served," said Relius, as though rather bored with the whole matter.	10
17	348	Ho-Tu apparently gave the matter very serious thought.	10
18	504	"And to guarantee that it should be Tarl Cabot, whom we know, and with whom we, so to speak, have an old score to settle, the matter of the egg of Priest-Kings, we sent Sandros of Thentis to Ko-ro-ba where he, poor fool, was to be slain in your stead, that you would be brought here".	10
18	537	"What is the matter?" asked Cernus, concerned.	10
19	80	Philemon, I and the guards emerged from the exposition area to the interior of the sales amphitheater; the entire house was now lit by energy bulbs; later, the block alone would be illuminated; the seats rose in tier after tier, largely circling the block, though a passage lay open behind the block;...	10
19	272	"A hundred and twenty," said another, soberly, matter-of-factly, this man, too, a professional Slaver, he wearing on his left shoulder the sign of Tyros.	10
20	241	"It does not matter," said Cernus to me, "for I have already arranged your champion".	10
22	427	I was certain their riders had had orders from the box of Cernus to see that I did not win; it would be difficult for a single tarn to block a ring, but two together might well manage; further, in not taking the lead immediately, which I believe I could have done, I hoped to postpone the entry into ...	10
24	226	I remember among this business arose the matter of more than one hundred exotic slaves from the House of Cernus, the white-robed girls who had been raised without the knowledge of the existence of men.	10

2	19	Rep is a whitish fibrous matter found in the seed pods of a small, reddish, woody bush, commercially grown in several areas, but particularly below Ar and above the equator; the cheap rep-cloth is woven in mills, commonly, in various cities; it takes dyes well and, being cheap and strong, is popular...	10
8	51	Some of the slaves, chained at their benches, were trying to stand and see what might be the matter.	10
9	171	While returning her to the Sardar I had thought long on the matter of her safety.	10
10	149	The next matter for consideration was the negotiation of a dispute between the sail-makers and the rope-makers in the arsenal with respect to priority in the annual Procession to the Sea, which takes place on the first of En'Kara, the Gorean New Year.	10

9	424	No matter what bonds I might wear, no matter what transactions in which I might figure, I could not be purchased, for I was free! There was a leather bag, on two leather strings, which hung from a hook outside the door.	10

7	366	"Yes," said Inge, matter-of-factly, "she is of the leather workers".	10
11	419	"What does it matter?" he asked.	10
11	1124	It was said that when he used a woman, he then branded her, with his name, as though she, once used, no matter to whom she might afterwards be given or sold, could truly belong only to him.	10
12	374	I was better than them all, put together! If I were to steal a pastry, or lie, what did it matter? Doubtless they were jealous! Doubtless they envied me my beauty! I was not a barbarian.	10
13	397	Ute was stupid, she was ignorant, she was Gorean, she did not matter.	10
13	828	"Now be silent on the matter".	10
15	581	"Yes," said Ute, matter-of-factly.	10
15	975	No matter what brands might be fixed in my flesh, nor what the leather might do to my back or the tiny dimensions of the slave box to my body, I knew I did not have their weaknesses.	10
16	181	Rask of Treve, my Gorean master, had not seen fit to permit me choice in the matter of my helpless surrender.	10
16	287	On Gor, of course, her relationship to the master is open, public, institutionalized, accepted, taken for granted, and celebrated, a matter of law.	10
16	288	On Earth, on the other hand, her bondage would normally be a private matter, between her and her master.	10

2	148	"Shall we discuss the matter with the sword?" he asked Arn.	10
2	275	We might easily sell such women in Laura, or, more likely, in Lydius, but it would not be an easy matter for an outlaw to do so.	10
2	439	"Verna's camp," I said to Sheera, matter-of-factly, "is not only north of Laura, but to its west".	10
2	665	It does not matter what you do to us.	10
3	174	"What is the matter?" asked Thurnock, his mouth filled with bosk.	10
6	152	Why then should she sell her to you?" "That may be a matter of timing," I said, "and of information, and prices".	10
11	38	Players, incidentally, are free to travel where they wish on the surface of Gor, no matter what might be their city.	10
12	88	Indeed, the two latter individuals had already, in the past year, approached me with the prospect of a companionship with their daughters, but I had declined to discuss the matter.	10
12	152	If there were any who cared to dispute it, we could debate the matter with steel.	10
15	424	I did not blame them in this matter, for the men they guarded were dangerous.	10

I scarcely dared even consider this possibility, for then she, a slave, could be mine! I determined, cruelly, t...	10
25	89	"And what will you do when they learn of this matter?" asked Tasdron.	10
25	98	The matter, however, will be otherwise with Aemilianus.	10
25	135	"It was evidence brought against Callisthenes in Port Cos five years ago by Callimachus," said Tasdron, "which cost him an early promotion, a matter of minor peculation".	10
25	178	"I think the matter will not be as difficult as you might suspect," I said.	10
25	232	"You have explained the matter fully to me".	10
26	264	"How then," asked Miles of Vonda, looking at me, "is my honor in this matter to be satisfied?" "I do not know," I said.	10
27	36	"It was you, was it not," I asked, "who raided my house, who ransacked it, and put the Lady Beverly under interrogation in the matter of the topaz?" "I did not find it there," he said, menacingly.	10
28	120	Callisthenes, in the circumstances, to the thinking of Callimachus, had had no choice in the matter.	10
28	136	"I was one of several suspects brought in for interrogation in the matter of the search for the topaz," I said.	10
28	307	I, myself, had never given the matter much thought.	10

32	214	My only chance in this rapid, dark matter, as I saw it, was to enlist his vanity and, hopefully, a recklessness attendant upon it, in my own cause.	10
32	252	The others did not matter.	10
