Book 1. (10 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 10 I thought him dead until I received his strange message, more than twenty years after he had vanished.

1 89 "The message has been delivered," I said to myself, feeling a bit silly as I said it.
Details
10
1 139 I think I will carry its simple, abrupt message burned into the cells of my brain until, as it is elsewhere said, I have returned to the Cities of Dust.

3 44 On the other hand, a new succession of noises in A would be received by the machine and emitted as a message in Gorean.

16 91 Tell them they must strike now, and that you come with this message from Tarl Cabot, Warrior of Ko-ro-ba".

16 105 "A message from Pa-Kur," I said, "for the ears of Talena, his Ubara-to-be".
Details
10
16 106 "I will carry the message," said one of the guards, a large man, his eyes suspicious.
Details
10
16 109 "The message is for the Ubara-to-be, and for her alone," I said angrily.
Details
10
16 111 "Give me your name," I demanded, "so that I may report to Pa-Kur who it is that denies his message to his future Ubara".

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
15 64 With one last look at the Tatrix, the bird turned and stalked to the brink of that awesome ledge and, with a single snap of its great wings, leaped into space, its soaring shadow a message of terror to any game below.

19 158 The words of the man of Ar, he who had worn the robes of the Initiates, he who had brought me the message of the Priest-Kings on the road to Ko-ro-ba that violent night months before, rang in my ears, "Throw yourself upon your sword, Tarl of Ko-ro-ba!" But I knew then that I would not throw myself u...

Book 3. (23 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
10 23 This coiled message rope then retains the odors indefinitely and when another Priest-King wishes to read the message he unrolls it slowly, scanning it serially with the jointed sensory appendages.
Details
10
27 365 The message was given to my ears as would have been any message.
Details
10
2 46 Upon occasion some message would be found scratched in the cliffs along the path.
Details
10
10 18 Moreover, if not too much time is allowed to elapse, a Priest-King may leave a message in his chamber or in a corridor for another Priest-King, and the other may arrive later and interpret it.
Details
10
10 19 A disadvantage of this mode of communication, of course, is that the message may be understood by strangers or others for whom it is not intended.
Details
10
10 21 For longer periods of time there are various devices for recording a message, without relying on complex mechanical devices.
Details
10
10 22 The simplest and one of the most fascinating is a chemically treated rope of clothlike material which the Priest-King, beginning at an end bearing a certain scent, saturates with the odors of his message.
Details
10
11 35 The translator, incidentally, supposing it to be turned on, would provide only the translation of what was said, and the words, unless the volume control was manipulated during the message, would always occur at the same sound level.
Details
10
16 106 "I then, by means of an Implanted Agent, unconscious of the message being read through him, instructed your father to write the letter which you found in the mountains on your native world".

19 104 It was a very simple message and was of course not carried by Sarm's translator.
Details
10
27 198 It was not their message, but that of she who lay brown and wrinkled behind me.
Details
10
27 201 Only from Sarm's translator came a message.
Details
10
27 203 "No," said the Mother, her message being caught and transmitted by Sarm's own translator.
Details
10
27 205 "No," said the Mother, the message coming again from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
27 254 "No," said the Mother, and the message again came from Sarm's own translator, and was echoed a thousand times by those of the other Priest-Kings in the great chamber.
Details
10
27 273 Misk's message to Sarm was carried on Sarm's own translator.
Details
10
27 285 I heard the message on the translators of Priest-Kings who, like Misk, approached the platform.
Details
10
27 289 This message was echoed by every translator in the room and a thousand times again and again as the Priest-Kings repeated it in disbelief to one another.
Details
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.
Details
10
27 313 At the low volume I received the message the other translators in the room would not be likely to pick it up and transduce the sounds into odor-signals.
Details
10
27 363 And from a thousand translators rang the message she cried out over those golden heads to the blank stone ceiling and walls of her chamber and I shall never forget it as it was in all the sorrow and the joy of her trembling dying magnificence; I and all could read it in the attitude of her body, the...

33 125 I had intended to make use of that moment myself, pretending to have come with a message from Priest-Kings, to encourage man to live as I wished him to live, to respect himself and others, to be kind and to be worthy of the heritage of a rational animal, and yet of what worth would these things be i...

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
7 206 Who, or what, could dare such a thing? Besides, how did I know that the message was not from Priest-Kings? I knew, as Kamchak and Kutaituchik did not, of the recent Nest War beneath the Sardar, and of the disruption in the technological complexes of the Nest—who knew to what primitive devices...
Details
10
16 295 How else would he dare to use the name of Priest-Kings on the message in the message collar?" I knew, of course, that the man was not a Priest-King.
Details
10
5 120 Kamchak read the message of the drum and horn.
Details
10
6 187 "It is a message collar," said Kamchak.
Details
10
6 188 "Inside the leather, sewn within, will be a message".
Details
10
7 86 It seemed to me, from what I had learned, that there was no particular reason why Elizabeth Cardwell, and not one of Earth's countless others, had been selected to wear the message collar.
Details
10
7 88 It was perhaps only that she was convenient, and, of course, that she was lovely, thus a fitting bearer of the collar, herself a gift with the message to please the Tuchuks, and perhaps better dispose them toward its contents.
Details
10
7 147 But how was it that Elizabeth Cardwell, of Earth, wore a Turian message collar? Kamchak drew the quiva from his belt and approached the girl.
Details
10
7 156 I would have expected the message to have been written either on stout, glossy-surfaced linen paper, of the sort milled in Ar, or perhaps on vellum, or a grosser parchment, prepared in many cities and used commonly in scrolls, the process involving among other things the washing and liming of skins,...
Details
10
7 170 The message was simple, consisting of only three lines.
Details
10
7 175 "And who has signed this message?" asked Kutaituchik.
Details
10
7 197 "It is," said Kamchak, "obviously not a message of Priest-Kings".
Details
10
7 201 "Do you think Priest-Kings would use a Turian message collar?" He pointed his broad finger at Elizabeth Cardwell.
Details
10
7 209 And finally, I reminded myself again, was I not now engaged in their work? Was I not now attempting to be of service to them? Was I not now among the Wagon Peoples, in peril perhaps, on their behalf? But, I asked myself, if this message was not from Priest-Kings, from whom could it be? Who would dar...
Details
10
7 217 "What," I asked Kamchak, "would you do if you thought the message were truly from Priest-Kings?" "Nothing," said Kamchak, gravely.
Details
10
7 253 Perhaps in that moment Elizabeth Cardwell recalled the strange man, so fearsome, gray of face with eyes like glass, who had so examined her on Earth, before whom she had stood as though on a block, unknowingly being examined for her fitness to bear the message collar of Turia.
Details
10
8 2 I had hoped to go to Turia, there to seek the answer to the mystery of the message collar, but it was not to be, at least until the spring.
Details
10
8 13 The mystery of the message collar, intriguing as it might be, was of secondary importance.
Details
10
8 631 It was now, perhaps, I hoped, that I might learn the answer to the riddles which had not ceased to disturb me, that I might learn the answer to the mystery of the message collar, perhaps the answer to the numerous mysteries which had attended it, and perhaps, at last, find some clue, as I had not ye...
Details
10
12 15 In Turia I had learned nothing, unfortunately, of the answers to the mystery of the message collar—or to the appearance of Miss Elizabeth Cardwell on the southern plains of Gor.
Details
10
16 206 I immediately recalled Elizabeth's description of the man who had examined her for fitness to bear the message collar—on Earth! "I have never seen that man," said Ha-Keel.
Details
10
16 220 "Also," I cried, suddenly aware, "the rence paper in the message collar, paper from Port Kar!" "Of course," he said.
Details
10
16 221 "The message was yours," I said.
Details
10
16 237 The plan was, it seems, that the message would be read, and that the Tuchuks would then use the girl to find you and when they had they would kill you.
Details
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
10 319 The message was simple.

10
10 323 "Who gave you this message?" I asked the boy.
Details
10
10 328 I did not know if the message truly came from Samos, or not.
Details
10
10 334 I would ignore the message.

10
14 112 The same message was run up the halyard to the height of the stem castle.

10
17 53 They pulled away, acknowledging with flags my message.
Details
10
18 831 "Why!" "Samos," said I, "was it from you that the message came, months ago, which I received in the Council of Captains, seeking to speak with me?" "Yes," said Samos.
Details
10
18 838 "But when the message was delivered," I said, "you were not even in the city".

18 840 "I hoped by that ruse to make it easier to deny any connection between myself and the message, should denial seem in order".

13 348 I had thought him to be the "Abdul" of the message, that which had been placed in the scalp of the message girl, Veema, who had been sent mysteriously to the house of Samos in Port Kar.
Details
10
1 380 "A message girl," said one of them.
Details
10
1 382 Then to one of those at the table, one who wore the garments of the physicians, he said, "Obtain the message".
Details
10
1 388 It is common for the girl to be given to the recipient of the message.
Details
10
1 395 She would not know the message she bore.
Details
10
1 402 "Then," said I to Samos, "you do not know from whom this message comes".
Details
10
1 471 "On a rock there was scratched this message: Beware the steel tower".
Details
10
1 513 "The message girl is ready," said the man who wore the green of the physicians.
Details
10
1 520 Originally her head had been shaved, and the message tattooed into the scalp.
Details
10
1 522 None but the girl would know she carried such a message, and she would not know what it might be.
Details
10
1 524 I read the message.
Details
10
1 526 We did not know from whence the message came, or who had sent it.

10
1 528 "With needles remove the message from her scalp".

1 623 '" "And the message girl," I said.
Details
10
1 627 "And who would send such a message, and why?" "I do not know," said Samos.
Details
10
1 808 "And what," I asked, "of the message on the stone, 'Beware the steel tower'?" "It is a mystery," said Samos, "and the answer lies here".
Details
10
2 587 I had failed to learn who it was who had purchased the girl Veema, who perhaps had sent her as a message girl to Samos of Port Kar.
Details
10
2 590 I recalled the message which she had borne.
Details
10
7 36 "Surrender Gor," had come the message, presumed from the steel worlds.
Details
10
7 39 There had been, too, the message girl, Veema, whose very body had borne the warning, "Beware Abdul".
Details
10
7 48 "It lay here!" The stone, however, remained, and the message scratched upon it.
Details
10
7 55 No vowel sound had to be interpolated, or determined from context, in this message.
Details
10
7 57 The message as a whole was explicit, unmistakable.

7 423 On our records they matched those of Miss Elizabeth Cardwell, of New York City, Earth, who had been brought to Gor to wear the message collar to the Tuchuks".

7 428 "The message collar," said Ibn Saran, "failed to bring about your death, the termination of your quest for the last egg of Priest-Kings".

10
7 479 And what she did not accomplish with the message collar in the land of the Wagon Peoples, she has well accomplished here on the rack in the chamber of justice".
Details
10
11 419 A message had been inscribed on a rock: Beware the steel tower.
Details
10
11 420 And a message girl had been brought to Samos, of Port Kar.
Details
10
11 421 Her message, revealed in the shaving of her head, had been "Beware Abdul".
Details
10
11 425 Still, however, I did not know who had sent the message.
Details
10
13 349 I still did not know who had sent the message.
Details
10
13 350 As now seemed clear to me, the message must have referred to Abdul, the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
13 351 He who had sent the message had doubtless been of the Tahari.
Details
10
13 352 It had doubtless not occurred to him that the message might have been misconstrued.
Details
10
13 360 I wondered who had sent the message, "Beware Abdul".
Details
10
21 289 "Surrender Gor," had been the message to the Sardar, from the Kurii ships.

10
26 1172 "In the house of Samos, at Port Kar," I said, "there was a girl, Veema, a message girl.

10
26 1173 The message she bore was 'Beware Abdul.
Details
10
26 1174 ' Mistakenly I took the Abdul of this message to be Abdul, the carrier of water, in Tor".

26 1179 "Perhaps he who sent the message assumed that the information of the agents of Priest-Kings was sufficient to identify Ibn Saran with Abdul, the Salt Ubar, or, at least, to link him with that villain".
Details

26 1183 "But who sent the message girl, Veema, to the house of Samos?" I asked.

15 343 "Further," she said, "even should the message fall into the wrong hands, it is concealed, and would not be understood as a message, and even if it were understood as a message, its secret would be kept for it is well enciphered".

10
15 324 "They did not, at that time, understand how you carried the message.

15 326 It is fortunate for us, as well as you, that you were not slain, they thinking you had disposed of the message, cheating us of its contents".
Details

15 330 "I carry no message," I said.
Details
10
15 335 "Could not a man have carried the message?" I asked.

15 340 They themselves do not even know they carry the message.

10
15 363 "What is the message I carry?" I asked.
Details
10
15 365 "Any girl," I said, "might have carried this message".
Details
10
15 382 It would be foolish to leave it fixed in your body, would it not, to arouse the puzzlement of the curious, perhaps even to identify you as our message girl to the agents of the enemy?" "Yes, Mistress," I said.
Details
10
15 388 "Will I understand the message?" I asked.
Details
10
15 392 "And," I asked, "when the message is delivered?" "Then," she said, "you will be returned to me".
Details
10
19 29 They thought that I bore a message for them, but I did not.

10
19 137 "The message has now been delivered".
Details
10
19 146 "Please do not kill me!" "Even if she could rebead the necklace," said Belisarius, "its message could not be understood, and, even if it could be understood, it would be meaningless to others".
Details
10
20 14 After I had delivered the message to Belisarius, and had served to amuse his men, I had been returned to the Chatka and Curla, still hooded, and bound in the slave sack, as I had been brought from it, by the same men, through the secret door in the rear of the alcove.
Details
10
20 42 After I had delivered the message I was no longer under the same security which I had earlier experienced at the Chatka and Curla.

24 267 "I brought him a message".

24 268 "What message?" he asked.

10
25 41 "You suspect then," asked Bosk, "that several arrangement orders of beads might be in her memory?" "Yes," said Iskander, "each of which, I suspect, would be correlated with a different message".
Details
10
25 42 "We would, thus," said Bosk, "not know which of the messages was the true message".
Details
10
25 44 "But we do know the trigger sequence will release the crucial message".
Details
10
25 74 "We may suppose," said Bosk, "as a working hypothesis, that the message is in Gorean.

10
25 104 "True," said Bosk, "and, in a short message, which this appears to be, we might produce several intelligible possibilities.

25 124 From the practical point of view, if a cipher is used briefly and for a given short message, it may be impossible to break.

25 127 It utilizes key words or numbers, but each message is further altered in a prearranged, random manner.

25 139 It is not, for example, a strange message written upon a scrap of paper, calling attention to itself as a secret communication, challenging the curious to its unraveling, but apparently only an innocent necklace, beaded with wood, common, vulgar and cheap, fit only for the throat of a lowly female s...

2 113 When the silk is unwrapped, of course, the message disappears into a welter of scattered lines, the bits and parts of letters; the coherent message is replaced with a ribbon marked only by meaningless, unintelligible scraps of letters; to read the message, of course, one need only rewrap the ribbon ...
Details
10
2 118 The security of the message, as is often the case, is a function not of the opacity of the message, in itself, but rather in its concealment, in its not being recognized as a message.
Details
10
2 111 Originally, in its preparation, the message ribbon is wrapped diagonally, neatly, edges touching, about a cylinder, such as the staff of a marshal's office, the shaft of a spear, a previously prepared object, or so on, and then the message is written in lines parallel with the cylinder.
Details
10
1 47 We had discovered this from an enciphered message, fallen into our hands, hidden in the beads of a necklace.

2 1 The Message of the Scytale; I Converse with Samos "The arrogance of Kurii may yet prove their undoing," said Samos.
Details
10
2 24 Such an act, to deliver such a message, would be little better than a taunt, a gambit, intended to misdirect our attention".
Details
10
2 108 "Yes," said Samos, "and the message is in clear Gorean".
Details
10
2 109 He had told me what the message was, and we had discussed it earlier.
Details
10
2 112 The message, easily printed, easily read, thus lies across several of the divisions in the wrapped silk.
Details
10
2 114 The message then appears in its clear, legible character.
Details
10
2 115 Whereas there is some security in the necessity for rewrapping the message about a cylinder of the original dimension, the primary security does not lie there.
Details
10
2 116 After all, once one recognizes a ribbon, or belt, or strip of cloth, as a scytale, it is then only a matter of time until one finds a suitable object to facilitate the acquisition of the message.
Details
10
2 117 Indeed, one may use a roll of paper or parchment until, rolling it more tightly or more loosely, as needed, one discovers the message.
Details
10
2 119 A casual individual would never expect that the seemingly incoherent design on a girl's ribbon would conceal a message which might be significant, or fateful.
Details

2 120 From the girl's reactions I gathered that she understood now that the ribbon bore some message, but that she had not clearly understood this before.
Details
10
2 121 "It is a message?" she asked.

2 131 I read the message.

2 317 "Here is an explicit message".

2 396 "Why," I asked, "should the message be addressed to me?" "The Kurii know you," said he.

41 160 Second, if one suspects a message is conveyed, it is not easily discovered what the message is.

41 162 Fourthly, once the message is delivered, the deck is cleaned, and all that remains is a simple deck of cards, to be sure one now ready for a new message".
Details
10
50 5 As I suppose is clear, when one wishes to transmit the message, one takes a deck, rearranges the cards, inscribes the message on the edges of the deck, and then replaces the cards in the usual order.
Details
10
50 6 The recipient, then, who has the card sheet used for the particular message, places the cards in the order prescribed by the sheet, and, once again, the message is visible.
Details
10
50 20 In preparing a message, I would rearrange the cards, randomly, following which the message would be placed on the edges of the deck.

50 23 In receiving a message, which would have the cards in the normal order, as in the current case, the Lady Bina or Lord Grendel would read from the appropriate card sheet, and I would place the cards in the order prescribed by the card sheet, after which they would have the message, either in clear Go...

50 25 The wine shop of Amyntas remained a station in this exchange, but only one, to which I would deliver a message or from which I would receive a message, to be returned to the Lady Bina or Lord Grendel, almost always Lord Grendel.

10
50 26 Sometimes Lord Grendel would deliver a message somewhere in person, and, sometimes, retrieve a message from some unknown source.

10 275 She does not even know if the message pertains to herself or not.
Details
10
10 277 A message might read, "Here is Lana, whom I sold to you yesterday evening.
Details
10
10 281 In this way she will be as ignorant of the message's content as an illiterate slave.
Details
10
10 283 In this way one is assured of the sender, and, if the seal is unbroken, of the security of the message.
Details
10
10 883 She entrusted to me a message, which was written in black ink on cheap rence paper, in simple block letters, at that time almost childishly formed letters, as she, for all her dexterity and intelligence, was still far from adept in Gorean.
Details
10
10 887 Surely much thought went into these things, well beyond the delicacy of the message itself.
Details
10
10 888 After all, the ink, the paper, or parchment, the script, the perfume, the seal, and so on, are, I suppose, in their way, a part of the message itself.

10
10 947 I had made clear my business, that I was to deliver a message to the Ubar, or to some high officer, who might then convey it to him, and the note was then taken from me by an officer, not of high rank, perhaps the commander of a ten, who read it, laughed uproariously, slapped his thigh, and then, to...

35 169 "The kaissa squares in which they are inserted thus constitute no intelligible part of the message.
Details
10
35 170 Thus, those who are attempting to unravel the message by means of considering the relative frequency of signs will have a difficult task, as some letters are represented by more than one sign and some signs represent no letter".
Details
10
35 173 "It is only necessary that the sender and the receiver of the message use a corresponding sheet of squares, of which there could be an indefinite number, but which, to date, seems to consist of one hundred sheets".
Details
10
35 178 "Perhaps a message could be unraveled".
Details
10
35 180 "By the time the message is understood it might be too late.
Details
10
35 182 The large number of sheets, different sheets being used for different messages, means any given message is likely to afford the interpreter little to work with".

35 185 "It would be enough to give you a nice clear message in simple Gorean".

10
35 264 "In the case of the kaissa concealment," he said, "we were fortunate enough to obtain, and later copy, crucial sheets, materials in virtue of which the message might be concealed, and then, later, revealed.
Details
10
35 265 But we have nothing similar here, no such sheets, no materials in virtue of which the message might be concealed or revealed".
Details
10
35 290 "I think so," he said, "but what is the relevance of the order? What would it mean if, say, a Physician's Vulo is succeeded by a Scribe's Tarsk?" "Perhaps that would stand for an entire message," I said, "something like 'Meet at dawn', 'Bring gold', 'Depart on the morrow', such things".

10
49 290 The message will be read, and a small package will be placed in the sack, which will be knotted closed.

49 407 The package stolen from you contained a code deck, whose message would be revealed by the purchased code sheet.

49 408 The message, intended to fall into certain hands, specifies a supposed meeting of more than a hundred operatives opposed to the plans of Agamemnon.

50 7 In the Cave, the visible message was in substitutions, a Tau for an Al-Ka, or such, but often enough, now, it was in clear Gorean.

10
50 10 To be sure, the message could be in clear Gorean, inscribed openly on a sheet of paper, and it would have remained opaque to me.

50 19 When the Lady Bina or Lord Grendel received, or sent, a card message, I was often used.

50 37 Lord Grendel had been very wise not to inform me of the nature of his plans, and his expectations, when I had carried that first message.
