The guard, who was the blond soldier, Mirus, whom I found most attractive of the men of Clitus Vitellius, after he himself, unlooped the coffle chain from his shoulder. |
10 |
| 27 | 87 |
"I gave Eta," said Clitus Vitellius, "to the guard, Mirus". |
10 |
| 27 | 89 |
I remembered the young, blond giant, Mirus, how he had put her on the coffle in Tabuk's Ford. |
10 |
| 27 | 94 |
Mirus, I had thought, had been the most attractive of the men of Clitus Vitellius, saving himself, of course. |

"Let us have the drawing!" Hendow nodded to Mirus, and Mirus summoned Aynur to the center of the floor, and near the front, with her copper bowl, laden with the halves of broken ostraka. |
10 |
| 16 | 62 |
"Now," she said, "I have my vengeance on you! You think you are more beautiful than I, but you are not! You thought you would have an easy life, and be most desired among the girls of Hendow, but you will not be! I have seen to it! You thought to take Mirus from me, too, but soon I could have won hi... |
10 |
| 31 | 314 |
Mirus was now again himself, the Mirus I remembered from Brundisium. |
10 |
| 10 | 798 |
"Mirus!" he called. |
10 |
| 10 | 799 |
Mirus was one of his men. |
10 |
| 10 | 802 |
In a moment, Mirus appeared through the door, that at the end of the carpet, that leading into this chamber. |
10 |
| 10 | 804 |
"She is lovely, isn't she?" my master asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 810 |
Too, this time it would also be before Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 813 |
Mirus was not my master, but only my master's man. |
10 |
| 10 | 821 |
I was diffident, though, at this time, to remove my clothing before Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 826 |
Mirus, after all, had seen me naked. |
10 |
| 10 | 843 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 847 |
I did not think, now, he would order me to remove the garment before Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 853 |
"Take her to the kitchen," he said to Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 855 |
"Yes, Hendow," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 859 |
I then leaped up, turned, and hurried after Mirus, who, now, at the end of the carpet, was near the exit. |
10 |
| 10 | 860 |
"Mirus," called Hendow. |
10 |
| 10 | 861 |
Mirus looked back to the dais. |
10 |
| 10 | 863 |
"It will be so, Hendow," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 865 |
"Yes, Hendow," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 10 | 868 |
I then leaped up, again, and hurried after Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 89 |
Mirus had seen me several times, though, and he, I am sure, had conveyed reports to my master. |
10 |
| 11 | 90 |
Mirus, when I had knelt before him at the end of my lessons, seemed generally, on the whole, and particularly lately, quite pleased with my progress. |
10 |
| 11 | 92 |
Sometimes, in my lessons, as I danced, I could see Mirus, and other men of the house, watching me, their eyes alight. |
10 |
| 11 | 100 |
Mirus was then, almost by force, pushing them away from me, and ordering them to return to their duties. |
10 |
| 11 | 133 |
Mirus, I recalled, had almost had to drive them away from me, almost as one might force lions from meat. |
10 |
| 11 | 134 |
Mirus, too, I recalled, had himself turned away from me, at the end, when we were alone, with a sudden abruptness. |
10 |
| 11 | 153 |
"Are you all right?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 192 |
Mirus had unchained her later, sometime around noon. |
10 |
| 11 | 249 |
I was not to be brought forth immediately at the Nineteenth Ahn, Mirus had told me. |
10 |
| 11 | 368 |
Behind him was Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 369 |
Mirus had a canvas sack slung at his belt. |
10 |
| 11 | 370 |
Two of Hendow's girls, Aynur and Tula, were behind Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 395 |
He nodded to Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 396 |
Mirus, followed by Aynur and Tula, made his way through the beaded curtain. |
10 |
| 11 | 400 |
"Sight unseen," called Mirus to the crowd, "who will try the luck of the first ostrakon? Only a tarsk bit each! Who is first? Who is for the first ostrakon? You, sir! Yes! And you the second! The third! Yes. |
10 |
| 11 | 403 |
"You!" called Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 411 |
"She is described in the handbills," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 414 |
"Her hair and eye coloring, and complexion, and height and weight, are as mentioned in the handbills," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 418 |
"She has a lovely face and form," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 420 |
"That you may determine promptly and firsthand, if you win," called Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 422 |
"Seriously," said Mirus, "understand that this is only a virgin slave. |
10 |
| 11 | 427 |
"But she is beautiful, and unusually desirable," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 430 |
"She is a treasure," said Mirus, "and, in time, we expect her to become exceptionally good". |
10 |
| 11 | 434 |
"But you know as well as I," called Mirus, "that they do not stay that way". |
10 |
| 11 | 438 |
"We know you, Mirus," said a man. |
10 |
| 11 | 439 |
"What do you think of her?" "She was purchased by my employer, your host, master of this tavern, Hendow," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 442 |
"What of you, Mirus?" pressed the fellow who had asked the original question. |
10 |
| 11 | 443 |
"What do you think of her?" "I would purchase an ostrakon, myself, or several," said Mirus, "but if I, an employee of the tavern, were to win, you would all, would you not, every one of you, suspect collusion and duplicity?" "Yes," said a fellow. |
10 |
| 11 | 446 |
Mirus did desire me. |
10 |
| 11 | 448 |
"And so," said Mirus, "I can wait". |
10 |
| 11 | 454 |
After tonight, I would have to serve Mirus, and the others, as they might want me. |
10 |
| 11 | 462 |
"I will take an ostrakon!" called a fellow, he, I think, who had asked Mirus his opinion of me. |
10 |
| 11 | 465 |
"Yes, astute sirs," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 470 |
In a moment or two, as Mirus solicited further interest among the customers, I heard the sounds of the instruments, the czehar and kalikas being tuned, the flautist trying passages, the drummer's fingers light on the taut skin of his instrument, the kaska, then adjusting it, then trying it again, th... |
10 |
| 11 | 499 |
"What did I tell you?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 507 |
"Please, please, sirs," said Mirus, in mock protest. |
10 |
| 11 | 517 |
"But she is a virgin!" laughed Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 520 |
"Among our guests this evening," said Mirus, gesturing, "is one well known to you all, Tamirus". |
10 |
| 11 | 523 |
"Later," said Mirus, "when our lovely chain-daughters in attendance, Tupita, Sita and Ina, whom some of you well know, and intimately, and whom I recommend to you all, as I also do my lovely assistants, Aynur and Tula, have presented to you another chain-daughter, this lovely slut, their sister in b... |
10 |
| 11 | 531 |
"We shall reopen the sale of ostraka presently," called Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 533 |
"Hendow," called Mirus, dramatically, "my employer, and dear friend, Hendow, are you not the master of this tavern?" "I am," grinned Hendow. |
10 |
| 11 | 540 |
"Do you own her, as well?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 542 |
"And is it your intention to keep her all for yourself?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 545 |
"She is then to have the same status as your other women, and to be available to your customers, and such?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 548 |
"She is then to be not a private slave, but a public slave?" inquired Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 551 |
"If she is a treasured private slave, noble Hendow," said Mirus, "take her swiftly to your chambers. |
10 |
| 11 | 561 |
"Come forward, come forward," said Mirus, coaxingly, beckoning to me. |
10 |
| 11 | 569 |
I watched Mirus take tarsk bits from these men. |
10 |
| 11 | 575 |
When a fellow had paid his tarsk bit Mirus would reach into the copper bowl carried by Tula and draw forth from it one of the small, about three inches long and an inch wide, thin, flat, brittle, glazed, baked-clay ostraka. |
10 |
| 11 | 579 |
I winced as Mirus snapped one of the ostraka in two, giving half to the purchaser and throwing the other half into Aynur's bowl. |
10 |
| 11 | 582 |
"'Doreen'," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 609 |
"She is a virgin," averred Mirus, snapping another ostrakon, not even looking about. |
10 |
| 11 | 620 |
"In time, however," said Mirus, continuing his transactions, "we expect her to feel at least some minimal slave heat". |
10 |
| 11 | 664 |
He had then, in response to the ritualistic petition of Mirus, removed his hand from my arm, stepped back from me and left me there. |
10 |
| 11 | 692 |
Men swarmed about Mirus, who was hard put to satisfy their demands for ostraka. |
10 |
| 11 | 698 |
"Alas, generous sirs!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 702 |
"Let us have the attestation!" cried Mirus, forcing the two fellows apart. |
10 |
| 11 | 738 |
"Thank you for your public confirmation in this matter," called Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 739 |
Tamirus lifted his hand good-humoredly, graciously, to Mirus, and then, too, to the others in the tavern, and returned to his table. |
10 |
| 11 | 748 |
A fellow near him handed it obligingly to Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 752 |
"Here is the signed attestation," said Mirus, handing it to one of the fellows near the floor. |
10 |
| 11 | 754 |
"Only seven ostraka are left," called Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 757 |
Men crowded about Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 760 |
"Alas," then cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 769 |
"And I think I can guarantee," said Mirus, "by all the whips in the house of Hendow, that she will do her best to please you". |
10 |
| 11 | 781 |
"Some of you have apparently found this slave of some interest," said Mirus, "for although she has not yet even danced, already are the ostraka gone". |
10 |
| 11 | 789 |
"May I have the attestation paper?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 801 |
"Which of you hold the winning ostrakon?" inquired Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 804 |
"Doreen," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 815 |
"Do you beg now to dance before your first use master?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 821 |
"Adorn her," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 835 |
Mirus, paradoxically, speaking obviously in the third sense of the term, had told me that I would do better at this sort of dance when I was no longer a virgin. |
10 |
| 11 | 869 |
Mirus, too, had now withdrawn to the back. |
10 |
| 11 | 875 |
This included Mirus, who, I think, had often wanted me. |
10 |
| 11 | 931 |
I moved a little to my left, dancing before Mirus, who crouched there at the back of the floor, the sack of tarsk bits heavy at his belt. |
10 |
| 11 | 937 |
I did not think Mirus would mind if I changed my performance in this fashion, particularly, as I would, later, return to the taunting, sensate splendors of the aroused woman, and then, at the end, to the helpless pleading of the begging female, she who knows herself, ultimately, at the mercy of mast... |
10 |
| 11 | 987 |
I became aware of Hendow standing near me now, and Mirus was to one side. |
10 |
| 11 | 990 |
Mirus and Hendow, gently, were forcing men back, away from the floor. |
10 |
| 11 | 992 |
Mirus looked down upon me. |
10 |
| 11 | 1048 |
Mirus and Hendow observed her doing this. |
10 |
| 11 | 1066 |
I saw Mirus, near the front of the floor, draw a red ribbon from his wallet. |
10 |
| 11 | 1117 |
"There!" called Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 1119 |
"Hold up the ostrakon!" called Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 1122 |
"Come forward, Sir," invited Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 1128 |
"Here, Sir," said Mirus, at my side, "is your prize". |
10 |
| 11 | 1134 |
"Use the Ubar's alcove," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 1149 |
"Here is the paper, and the ribbon," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 1151 |
Then Mirus, I gathered, withdrew. |
10 |
| 11 | 1413 |
In a moment he had fastened something else there, in its place, doubtless another ribbon, doubtless the red-silk ribbon which had been given to him earlier by Mirus. |
10 |
| 12 | 106 |
Too, I knew I was popular with several of my master's men, such as Mirus, and I thought, too, sometimes, that even my master might like me, a little. |
10 |
| 13 | 8 |
These coins, all of them, would be counted by Mirus when I disrobed. |
10 |
| 13 | 16 |
"It is a good house tonight," said Mirus, who was waiting for me. |
10 |
| 13 | 19 |
I looked at Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 29 |
I gave the ruby on its chain, from my forehead, to Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 34 |
I handed the pearls to Mirus, who put them, as he had the chain and ruby, in his wallet. |
10 |
| 13 | 51 |
Mirus was one of those men of a sort to whom, when my needs were enough on me, I could crawl, pleading. |
10 |
| 13 | 56 |
I gave that of coins to Mirus, which he put on top of the coins in the sack, and I put the others in the box which was on the floor, just within the curtain. |
10 |
| 13 | 91 |
I sat down on the tiles there within the hall, near the beaded curtain, at the feet of Mirus, easily, as a slave girl, thinking nothing of it, sits at the feet of a man, and slipped the anklets from my right ankle, putting them in the box to my left. |
10 |
| 13 | 92 |
Mirus was looking down at me, and I glanced up at him, and then looked down again, shyly. |
10 |
| 13 | 101 |
"Let me help you," said Mirus, and crouched down, near me. |
10 |
| 13 | 141 |
The coins on the belt, as well as those on the necklace, would be counted by Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 166 |
She was not pleased to see me in the arms of Mirus, who was a desirable male, and first among my master's men. |
10 |
| 13 | 171 |
She came close to Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 283 |
"And he purchased you," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 292 |
I was pleased, of course, that Mirus, such a man, and such a master, found my sort of woman, one running more to the statistical norms of the human female, pleasing, as I wanted him to find me pleasing. |
10 |
| 13 | 311 |
It pleased me if Mirus should find me beautiful. |
10 |
| 13 | 366 |
I wondered what it would be like to be owned by Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 386 |
"Has he never ordered you to him?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 388 |
"Interesting," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 402 |
"You have not displeased him lately, have you?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 524 |
Mirus was efficient. |
10 |
| 13 | 538 |
I looked at Mirus, tears in my eyes. |
10 |
| 13 | 542 |
"She has danced," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 547 |
"I have not yet counted," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 549 |
"She does not return to the floor tonight," said Mirus, "unless you wish to send her forth there". |
10 |
| 13 | 551 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 553 |
I looked up at Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 625 |
To be sure, at that time, kneeling before Mirus, I had no idea how acute such things could become. |
10 |
| 13 | 640 |
I looked up at Mirus, tears in my eyes. |
10 |
| 13 | 690 |
It was Mirus, of course, who had now lit these flames in my belly. |
10 |
| 13 | 800 |
I looked at Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 873 |
Too, I did not think that I could fool Mirus either in such matters. |
10 |
| 13 | 879 |
There was now only myself and Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 962 |
They had now, in the person of Mirus, let me have a taste of incredible pleasure, perhaps that I might then have some inkling as to what such things could be. |
10 |
| 13 | 967 |
Swiftly Mirus and I drew apart. |
10 |
| 13 | 971 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 973 |
Mirus seemed uneasy before him. |
10 |
| 13 | 976 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 978 |
"I also enjoyed her," said Mirus, angrily. |
10 |
| 13 | 981 |
"She is good, for a new slave," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 984 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 986 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 988 |
"Yes," said Mirus, angrily. |
10 |
| 13 | 998 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1003 |
"Perhaps you would have preferred to have brought her to this point yourself," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1006 |
"What difference does it make," asked Hendow, "who induces the first slave orgasm in a slave?" "No difference, of course," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1019 |
"She is a new slave," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1021 |
Mirus stiffened, as though he had been slapped. |
10 |
| 13 | 1024 |
"With your leave," said Mirus, coldly. |
10 |
| 13 | 1026 |
"I did not know the slave was of interest to you," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1028 |
"Of course," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1054 |
"Hendow," protested Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1056 |
"Not yet," said Mirus, angrily. |
10 |
| 13 | 1058 |
"Of course," said Mirus, angrily. |
10 |
| 13 | 1060 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1064 |
"I will see to it," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1066 |
"Of course," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1069 |
I looked, then, at Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1070 |
"I do not understand," said Mirus, looking after Hendow. |
10 |
| 13 | 1073 |
"Hendow is my friend," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1075 |
"Master," I said, lifting my hand to Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 1095 |
"Is there trouble with Mirus?" she asked. |
10 |
| 13 | 1133 |
"What is wrong with Mirus?" asked Tupita. |
10 |
| 13 | 1136 |
"He is angry with Mirus". |
10 |
| 13 | 1152 |
"So there is trouble between Mirus and Hendow?" she asked. |
10 |
| 13 | 1164 |
"That is my impetuous Mirus," she said. |
10 |
| 13 | 1172 |
"I thought you might be angry," I said, "about Mirus". |
10 |
| 14 | 288 |
"Did Mirus tell you things of this sort two nights ago?" he asked. |
10 |
| 14 | 290 |
I had not seen Mirus since the day before yesterday. |
10 |
| 14 | 428 |
"Do you recall one named Mirus?" he asked. |
10 |
| 16 | 160 |
Had Mirus still been with the tavern, I do not think she would have been able to secure the tiny coins. |
10 |
| 24 | 454 |
"Mirus saved my life," I said. |
10 |
| 24 | 549 |
But it had to do even more, I think, with he who had been last on the chain, he who had once been second to my former master, Hendow, in Brundisium, Mirus. |
10 |
| 24 | 686 |
"You love Mirus," I said. |
10 |
| 26 | 140 |
It was not merely that I feared such men but that Mirus, I knew, was from Brundisium. |
10 |
| 26 | 143 |
On the last night I had seen him in the tavern Mirus had told me that he and Hendow would die for one another. |
10 |
| 26 | 149 |
"Mirus, from Brundisium," I wept. |
10 |
| 26 | 179 |
I hoped, wildly, that Mirus would not be in the camp of Pietro Vacchi. |
10 |
| 29 | 457 |
I looked at Mirus, of Brundisium. |
10 |
| 29 | 521 |
Mirus stirred, lying on the two bodies. |
10 |
| 29 | 532 |
"Do not awaken, Master," whispered Tupita to Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 537 |
Mirus groaned, and lifted his head. |
10 |
| 29 | 548 |
Groggily Mirus, blood running down the side of his head, crawled toward the scabbard and blade, taken from him by one of the beasts, which lay near him. |
10 |
| 29 | 553 |
Mirus staggered unsteadily to his feet, discarding the scabbard. |
10 |
| 29 | 561 |
Mirus reeled about. |
10 |
| 29 | 569 |
"No," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 573 |
"Master," I called out to Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 578 |
Without taking his eyes off the sleen, by feel, Mirus cut the ropes that tied Tupita to the railing, and then cut free the binding fiber on her ankles, and wrists. |
10 |
| 29 | 580 |
"Do not let him kill Tuka!" But Mirus held her by one arm, and backed away. |

| 29 | 594 |
"Kill!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 600 |
Mirus, startled, stepped back. |
10 |
| 29 | 604 |
"See! It will kill you if you try to hurt her! Come away! Let her go! Let her go! She is not important! She is only a slave! Only a slave! Do not concern yourself with a slave, a mere slave!" Mirus then, in fury, held the blade with one hand. |
10 |
| 29 | 607 |
"Then let us away, before the beasts return!" Mirus regarded her in rage. |
10 |
| 29 | 609 |
"Am I not still of interest to you? Have I become so unattractive? Have you forgotten? Is it so long ago?" Mirus made a noise, almost like an animal. |
10 |
| 29 | 612 |
See Mina, and Cara! Both are beautiful! You can put sword claim on us all!" Mirus, in fury, lashed back with his hand, striking Tupita from him. |
10 |
| 29 | 618 |
Mirus sank to one knee. |
10 |
| 29 | 628 |
"Mirus!" he cried. |
10 |
| 29 | 629 |
"Old friend! What are you doing here!" "Hendow!" said Mirus, tears in his eyes. |
10 |
| 29 | 631 |
"You are welcome here," said Mirus, weakly. |
10 |
| 29 | 634 |
"How did you find us here?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 640 |
"Your sword is bloody," observed Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 653 |
"There are others about," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 658 |
"You finished a man?" said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 661 |
"Then there are still five about, at least," said Mirus, "and the beasts, they are most dangerous". |
10 |
| 29 | 666 |
"I can be of no help to you," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 674 |
"No," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 677 |
"Do but one thing for me, before your departure," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 679 |
"Put the fangs of Borko to that slave," said Mirus, indicating me, "or, if you wish, slay her for me, with your sword". |
10 |
| 29 | 680 |
"Beloved Mirus!" said Hendow. |
10 |
| 29 | 681 |
"She betrayed me to the chains of Ionicus!" said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 683 |
"It is true," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 689 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 691 |
"I think so," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 693 |
"Yes," said Mirus, rising unsteadily to his feet. |
10 |
| 29 | 698 |
"Tupita?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 717 |
"No!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 719 |
"No!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 725 |
"Why did you flee Hendow?" cried Mirus to Tupita. |
10 |
| 29 | 738 |
"Why would you have done such a thing?" asked Mirus, not taking his eyes off Hendow. |
10 |
| 29 | 739 |
I did not think Mirus could long remain on his feet. |
10 |
| 29 | 741 |
"I did it because of you!" "Absurd," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 745 |
I thought you cared for her!" "Certainly I found of her of interest," said Mirus, "as I have many slaves, but she, though perhaps more beautiful than most, was never more to me, really, and I know that now, and have for a long time, than another wench whom I might, from time to time, for an Ahn or s... |
10 |
| 29 | 753 |
"No!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 755 |
"I will defend her to the death!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 758 |
"She is worth more to me than ten thousand free women!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 760 |
"A woman who may be purchased from a slave block?" "Yes!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 762 |
"Have pity on her!" said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 769 |
"By the love you bear me," said Mirus, weakly, "do not kill her". |
10 |
| 29 | 771 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 773 |
"No," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 775 |
Mirus looked at him, unsteadily, wildly. |
10 |
| 29 | 798 |
"You should have fled," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 814 |
"We are lost," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 817 |
But Mirus sank to one knee, where he was. |
10 |
| 29 | 834 |
He would not, of course, leave Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 888 |
Mirus tried to rise, but could not. |
10 |
| 29 | 913 |
"Kill him!" Mirus could not defend himself. |
10 |
| 29 | 915 |
The cohort of the small fellow raised his blade and rushed on Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 916 |
Hendow turned to defend Mirus, and did so, stopping the assailant, spitting him on his blade, but, in doing this, of course, as the bearded man had doubtless hoped, he had opened his own guard. |
10 |
| 29 | 920 |
Hendow sank to his knees, beside Mirus, then went to all fours. |
10 |
| 29 | 922 |
Hendow, of course, had realized that in defending Mirus he would have exposed himself to the blow of the antagonist on his left. |
10 |
| 29 | 924 |
Tupita had fled from behind the railing, where she had been attempting to free me and ran to cover the body of Mirus with her own. |
10 |
| 29 | 925 |
The bearded man, however, was not interested in Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 937 |
I had been concerned with Hendow and Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 966 |
Tupita wept over Mirus, who had fallen, who was unconscious. |
10 |
| 29 | 1004 |
"Who were these two?" asked the fellow with the torn arm, indicating Hendow and Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1012 |
Tupita looked up, frightened, from where she crouched over Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1038 |
Mirus regarded him, dully, half conscious. |
10 |
| 29 | 1087 |
"We had some trouble with these two," said the bearded man, indicating Hendow, and the prostrate Mirus, "but there is nothing to fear now". |
10 |
| 29 | 1129 |
I looked at Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1137 |
"Should you recover, you would follow her again, would you not?" he asked Mirus, crouching down by him, eagerly. |
10 |
| 29 | 1138 |
Mirus looked at him weakly, but in fury and pride. |
10 |
| 29 | 1152 |
Do not hurt him!" "Doubtless she will not make a clean job of it, with her girl's strength," said the bearded man to Mirus, "but I am sure, in time, she will get the job done". |
10 |
| 29 | 1159 |
Too, he had used it to save the life of his beloved friend, Mirus, though in doing the deed he must have understood, opening himself to the blade of his enemy as he had, that he had made his own life forfeit. |
10 |
| 29 | 1160 |
How ironic then, how unthinkable, that I should use that same blade now to kill Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1161 |
Mirus turned his head toward me. |
10 |
| 29 | 1246 |
"What of him?" asked the man with the bandage on his arm, indicating Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1249 |
"No!" cried Tupita, running to Mirus, covering his body with her own. |
10 |
| 29 | 1261 |
I saw Tupita draw back from Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1340 |
Tupita again put her body between those of Fulvius and Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1341 |
Mirus was now sitting up, his head in his hands. |
10 |
| 29 | 1346 |
It would have taken but a moment to thrust Tupita aside and kill Mirus, but I sensed that the man with the injured arm, again, had little taste for dispatching a helpless foe. |
10 |
| 29 | 1348 |
Too, he could always kill Mirus later. |
10 |
| 29 | 1350 |
"Can you walk, Master?" begged Tupita, crouching near Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1351 |
"Can you run? They are gone! They will be coming back! Get up! Run! Flee!" Mirus looked over at me, his eyes glazed with pain. |
10 |
| 29 | 1357 |
"Lean on me! I will try to help you!" How strong Mirus must be, I thought, that he could even stand. |
10 |
| 29 | 1365 |
"Stupid slave!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1366 |
"Withdraw! Get out of the way!" "You are out of your head, Mirus!" she cried. |
10 |
| 29 | 1388 |
"Go, run!" "Move!" cried Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1395 |
Mirus stepped back. |
10 |
| 29 | 1397 |
I saw Mirus look at me, with hatred. |
10 |
| 29 | 1402 |
"I love you! I love you!" "I have followed you, hunting for you, even from Brundisium," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1408 |
I recalled I had asked Mirus if he had been looking for me in Argentum. |
10 |
| 29 | 1417 |
I should have realized that Mirus was after Tupita. |
10 |
| 29 | 1458 |
He then glanced at Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1462 |
Mirus had struggled to his feet, holding the sword. |
10 |
| 29 | 1474 |
"You may not have this woman," said Mirus, indicating Tupita. |
10 |
| 29 | 1478 |
"Do you gainsay me in this?" Fulvius, I suppose, if nothing else, understood that Mirus, if he survived, would be likely, sometime, to pursue them, perhaps for his honor, perhaps to recover Tupita, or me, perhaps to avenge Hendow. |
10 |
| 29 | 1489 |
"On guard, my friend," said Fulvius to Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1494 |
Mirus struggled to lift the blade. |
10 |
| 29 | 1498 |
He had delayed in releasing the girls from the rail, to coffle them, apparently choosing to postpone his work until the resolution of the pending affray with Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1505 |
"You could not find him," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1565 |
Mirus, even, seemed stunned. |
10 |
| 29 | 1592 |
He then approached Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1593 |
Mirus thrust Tupita behind him, and held his sword, ready to defend himself and the slave. |
10 |
| 29 | 1596 |
Mirus grinned, and lowered his sword. |
10 |
| 29 | 1621 |
Mirus scratched a board, taken from the ruins of the buildings about, which he fixed on the common grave of Borko and Hendow. |
10 |
| 29 | 1623 |
Mirus told Tupita it said, "Borko and Hendow. |
10 |
| 29 | 1655 |
And Mina was first on the coffle! How proud she seemed! Look at her, so beautiful, so proud to be first! Callisthenes and Sempronius supported Mirus between them, and helped him toward the woods. |
10 |
| 29 | 1661 |
The coins of Hendow the stranger had given to Mirus. |
10 |
| 29 | 1668 |
I could see the hilt of Hendow's sword there, and, behind it, the narrow board fixed in the earth by Mirus, that simple, crude marker, not bearing much of a message, really, little more than the data that Hendow had been of Brundisium, and had had a friend. |
10 |
| 30 | 35 |
Back from it a bit, to the left, Tupita was tending Mirus. |
10 |
| 30 | 103 |
I reared up a little, and saw, to my relief, that the stranger was back with Mirus and Tupita. |
10 |
| 31 | 10 |
A campfire was lit and near it were Mirus, and Tupita. |
10 |
| 31 | 12 |
I was startled to look upon Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 14 |
When the man, who still wore a mask, removed his hand from my arm, I went timidly to Mirus, and knelt before him. |
10 |
| 31 | 41 |
Tupita lifted the plate to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 43 |
I hoped Tupita had cooked the food well! "Good," said Mirus, congratulating Tupita. |
10 |
| 31 | 48 |
But after the free persons had taken a few bites, eating first, thus ritualistically in the Gorean fashion expressing the difference between themselves and us, and their precedence, Mirus shoved a bit of food to one side of his plate, from which Tupita, happily, helped herself. |
10 |
| 31 | 60 |
Once or twice I glanced at Mirus, but his eyes were severe. |
10 |
| 31 | 73 |
"My friend," said the stranger to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 76 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 78 |
"She is beautiful," said Mirus, regarding Tupita. |
10 |
| 31 | 82 |
"She?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 86 |
Mirus regarded me. |
10 |
| 31 | 94 |
I hoped he did not intend to strangle me, or give the fiber to Mirus, that he might do so. |
10 |
| 31 | 98 |
"What are you doing?" asked Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 106 |
"Why have you bound her?" asked Mirus, puzzled. |
10 |
| 31 | 109 |
Mirus, then, I was relieved to note, seemed as much in the dark on this matter as I. |
10 |
| 31 | 114 |
She and he seemed to understand what was transpiring, even if Mirus and I did not. |
10 |
| 31 | 115 |
"I am well bound, Master," said Tupita to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 116 |
"Obviously," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 123 |
He picked up a bota, which I had learned contained paga, took a swig, and passed it to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 124 |
Mirus drank, too, and returned the bota to him. |
10 |
| 31 | 126 |
Mirus looked at the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 128 |
"Perhaps," said Mirus, puzzled. |
10 |
| 31 | 133 |
"Please him," said the stranger to me, indicating Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 134 |
"No," said Mirus, coldly. |
10 |
| 31 | 146 |
I hastily crawled to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 150 |
"Very well," said the stranger, to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 153 |
In the two days or so since he had been with Mirus and her he had doubtless been informed, or had gathered, what the situation was amongst us. |
10 |
| 31 | 155 |
I looked at Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 168 |
"You do not mind, do you?" asked the stranger, "if she performs for the rest of us?" "Of course not," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 179 |
This, like his features concealed in the mask, it seemed, he wished to keep secret, at least from Mirus and Tupita. |
10 |
| 31 | 205 |
I saw from the stranger's eyes that I was to particularly dance myself to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 209 |
I knew Mirus would try not to watch me. |
10 |
| 31 | 215 |
Mirus looked at me, startled, and I looked at him, reproachfully, and frightened, and then, as though he had whipped me, and commanded me, I began to dance. |
10 |
| 31 | 219 |
Sometimes, too, I tried to dance before the stranger, but his eyes would inform me that it was before Mirus that I was to dance slave beauty. |
10 |
| 31 | 221 |
"See how beautiful she is!" "Master," I wept to Mirus, "I beg forgiveness!" Then I reacted, again and again, as though he might have been angered by my plea, as though I were struck with the whip. |
10 |
| 31 | 224 |
"She dances well," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 232 |
Then, bit by bit, sometimes on my knees, sometimes as though I had tried to rise, and had then again been thrust to my knees, sometimes on all fours, sometimes as though trying to rise to my knees, and being forced again to all fours, I made my way to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 269 |
See how well curved she is, how desirable she is! She could have lured a general!" "Slave," said Mirus to me. |
10 |
| 31 | 289 |
"Yes! Yes!" "My anger with you," said Mirus, "I think was in part motivated by anger with myself, that I so easily succumbed to your charms". |
10 |
| 31 | 294 |
"Yes," said Mirus, looking at me, "that is true". |
10 |
| 31 | 298 |
"I am somewhat angry," Mirus informed me. |
10 |
| 31 | 303 |
Mirus crouched beside me. |
10 |
| 31 | 308 |
"Yes, you did well," said Mirus, almost a growl. |
10 |
| 31 | 323 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 327 |
Mirus looked down at me. |
10 |
| 31 | 334 |
Mirus was a master in the handling of women. |
10 |
| 31 | 347 |
She knelt on the backs of her heels, her hands on her thighs, looking up, happily, at Mirus. |
10 |
| 32 | 11 |
Mirus had been on the wagon box, Tupita beside him, in a tunic fashioned of one of the blankets which had been inside the wagon. |
10 |
| 32 | 16 |
Mirus had then crouched near me and kissed me. |
10 |
| 32 | 21 |
Most of the coins and valuables which had fallen to the stranger as sword loot he had divided with Mirus. |
10 |
| 32 | 23 |
Such things should give Mirus more than enough means to make Brundisium. |
10 |
| 32 | 24 |
Too, it was good for Mirus to have the wagon, at least for a few days, until his strength might be fully recovered. |
10 |
| 32 | 34 |
Mirus and Tupita had now gone. |
10 |
| 32 | 137 |
For example, he had heard me speak with Mirus and Tupita. |
10 |
| 33 | 6 |
He had not given me clothing, even the belt of rolled cloth and the slave strip, which he had earlier removed, when I had been bound, after the departure of Mirus and Tupita, they with the tharlarion and wagon. |
10 |
| 33 | 56 |
"I gather this was in deference to Mirus, who was recovering his strength". |
10 |
| 33 | 73 |
Later, by another simple exercise of the rights of his mastery, I must serve Mirus. |
10 |
| 33 | 133 |
I had little doubt that Mirus would keep Tupita as such. |
10 |
| 34 | 6 |
These were simple and had been earlier taken from the wagon box of the slave wagon, the lid of which forms the wagoner's bench, part of the loot which my master had divided between himself and Mirus. |
10 |
| 34 | 63 |
"Mirus thought that Tupita was a thousand times more beautiful than I," I said. |

I will do anything for them! How terrible, how wicked I am! Mirus, Mirus, she thought, what have you done to me? It was a slave orgasm, she thought, or something like one. |

Mirus, Mirus, she thought, I am a helpless slave. |

Mirus, Mirus, she thought, now your vengeance on me is complete! There was suddenly a titanic snapping in the air yards away, and it seemed that a mighty wind exploded in the area, scattering and whirling dust and straw. |

Ellen knew little of slave dance, for her first master, called on Gor 'Mirus', had determined that she would be only slightly trained, that she might be sold as a substantially ignorant girl, trained perhaps only to the extent that she might prove satisfactory enough to be permitted to live, that sh... |
10 |

"Suffer," she thought, "Masters!" Mirus followed her dancing, and looked carefully upon Selius Arconious, and Selius Arconious, when she danced to Mirus, had little difficulty in detecting the object of the slave's provocative, haughty glances. |
10 |
| 25 | 1072 |
Mirus thrust his hand angrily within his robes, toward his left side, but a fellow with him, one Ellen recognized as having been with him in the tent, put his hand warningly on his arm, and Mirus withdrew his hand. |
10 |
| 27 | 1340 |
She remembered incidents in the house of Mirus, many in her training, her sometimes almost hysterical despair of ever being able to please her instructors, their impatience with her, her deferent and lengthy serving of formally clad diners, she naked and in a collar, her abuse at the hands of Mirus,... |
10 |

Selius Arconious cast Mirus a glance of hatred, which attention seemed unnoticed by the shaken Mirus. |

"To his feet," snapped Mirus, "lick and kiss them, now! Render obeisance, slut! Appropriately! To your new master!"

Soon, she gathered, Mirus and his fellow, now muchly recovered, though still unable to walk, would leave the group and make their way toward Brundisium, Mirus dragging an improvised travois, constructed of rope, a pair of poles and a tarpaulin. |

"If you will not use me," she said, angrily, "sell me to one who will! Sell me to one who is a man!" He turned then angrily, suddenly, to the slave but, at the same moment, there was a great roar splitting the silence of the camp and a dark, monstrous, violent shape leapt into the camp and Fel Doron... |

Ellen, crouching down, set forth the plates of hors d'oeuvres and the tiny glasses of sherry on the coffee table before her master, Mirus, and his guests, a man and a woman. |
10 |

Rather, might they not choose to accept that view of the matter, the feminist view, so to speak, and rearrange the institutions of society accordingly? Mirus, her master, indicated that she might withdraw, and so she stood to one side. |
10 |
| 11 | 28 |
The woman at the coffee table bantered lightly with the two men, her companion and Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 45 |
What would they think if they were to suddenly find it necessary to be licensed to men, or simply owned outright, as women? Mirus, her master, suggested that the group rise and go to table. |

Mirus indicated that Ellen might ready herself to pour wine at the table. |

'Mirus' is an extremely common male name on Gor. |

After a time Mirus indicated that Ellen might serve the soup, which, she began to do, ladling it from a large tureen on a serving cart, filling the bowls one by one, and placing them on the table, in the order prescribed. |

"Shame on you, Mirus," smiled the woman, "for not giving this pretty little thing clothing, for making her serve us naked". |
10 |
| 11 | 140 |
"Do not concern yourself," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 141 |
"And for putting her in a locked collar!" "It is a slave collar," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 143 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 148 |
"Male slaves," said Mirus, "are less in evidence. |
10 |
| 11 | 160 |
"I thought that slaves were branded," said the woman to Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 161 |
"Not all," said Mirus, "though it is recommended by Merchant Law. |
10 |
| 11 | 165 |
"Yes," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 167 |
"It is the most common brand for a female slave on Gor," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 171 |
"It is recognized throughout Gor," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 269 |
"Please forgive Ellen," said Mirus, her master. |
10 |
| 11 | 274 |
"Gorean feasts are often served by naked slaves," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 276 |
"It improves the appetite," said Mirus, smiling. |
10 |
| 11 | 282 |
"It can be very pleasant for the slave, as well," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 312 |
"Surely you are aware," said Mirus, her master, to the woman whom she did not know, she in the lovely off-the-shoulder gown, "that in the history of Earth, for thousands of years, slavery was an accepted, approved, and prized institution". |
10 |
| 11 | 333 |
"Putting aside deeper matters," said Mirus, "you expressed interest in Ellen and in the fact that she must serve naked". |
10 |
| 11 | 346 |
"Well," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 369 |
"Of course not!" "Ellen," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 383 |
"Even were you not heretofore a rich woman," said Mirus, "you would be now". |
10 |
| 11 | 459 |
"Perhaps one of Turia's markets itself," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 467 |
"I will arrange to have the gold delivered to your chamber," said Mirus, "where you will spend the night". |
10 |
| 11 | 468 |
"I must thank you for your hospitality," she said to Mirus, warmly. |
10 |
| 11 | 481 |
"You may clear, Ellen," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 543 |
The woman then bid good-night to Mirus and Tutina. |
10 |
| 11 | 544 |
"The gold will be delivered to your chamber, where you will be spending the night," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 550 |
A moment later, Tutina, too, with a glance at Mirus, left. |
10 |
| 11 | 558 |
There was another portal, one wider and more auspicious, in the room, a double door of some dark wood, that through which the guests and Mirus had originally entered. |
10 |
| 11 | 586 |
"You move well, slut," snarled Mirus. |
10 |
| 11 | 813 |
Mirus laughed, and she did not understand his laugh. |
10 |
| 11 | 904 |
"Might Master Mirus desire me, as well?" she whispered. |
10 |
| 12 | 450 |
"Your master is Mirus, is it not?" he asked. |
10 |
| 13 | 110 |
She hoped soon to serve a master, and that it would be Mirus. |
10 |
| 13 | 116 |
Ellen wondered if Mirus, her master, would be pleased, if she were to dance before him as a slave. |
10 |
| 13 | 513 |
"Is Ellen, who is the slave of Mirus, here?" asked the man. |
10 |
| 13 | 564 |
I love him! "Where is Ellen, the slave of Mirus?" asked the guard. |
10 |
| 13 | 568 |
"You are Ellen, the slave of Mirus?" "Yes, Master," said Ellen, head down, to the surface of the roof. |
10 |
| 13 | 600 |
"The slave Ellen," said the guard, "is summoned into the presence of her Master, Mirus of Ar, to appear before him in the audience chamber at the eighteenth Ahn. |
10 |
| 15 | 14 |
Ellen's master, Mirus, had apparently been reading a scroll. |
10 |
| 15 | 21 |
Mirus indicated that the slave might approach. |
10 |
| 15 | 70 |
She hoped Mirus was pleased with her. |
10 |
| 15 | 74 |
She did not doubt but what this sight, her obeisance, and that of her wrists braceleted high behind her as she knelt, had its effect upon her master, Mirus. |
10 |
| 15 | 92 |
"Whip," said Mirus, taking the implement from the small table to his right. |
10 |
| 15 | 116 |
"Position," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 15 | 127 |
The hair and eyes of Mirus, as those of most men, were brown. |
10 |
| 15 | 128 |
Ellen looked into the eyes of Mirus. |
10 |
| 15 | 443 |
My master is Mirus, of Ar. |
10 |
| 15 | 447 |
"I am Ellen," she said, "the slave girl of Mirus of Ar. |
10 |
| 15 | 459 |
How could I be such now that you might despise me more? You have made me nothing! Your vengeance on me, my Master, if vengeance it is, is surely now complete! "Thank you," said Mirus to the two men who, shortly, withdrew. |
10 |
| 15 | 460 |
"Position," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 15 | 488 |
"I belong to Mirus of Ar. |
10 |
| 16 | 109 |
That was surely where Mirus had angrily spurned her from the dais, with a thrust of his bootlike sandal, and she, helplessly bound, turning and rolling, twisting, in pain, had tumbled rolling to the rug at the foot of the dais. |
10 |
| 16 | 156 |
She had been told by one of the instructrices that that collar had said, 'I am Ellen, the slave of Mirus of Ar'. |
10 |
| 16 | 263 |
It suddenly occurred to Ellen, that this might be a test, administered by her master, Mirus of Ar. |
10 |
| 16 | 267 |
Surely Mirus of Ar, her master, would never let her out of his collar, really! Surely somehow he would keep her as his forever! Had he not remembered her? Had he not brought her to this world? Had he not restored her youth and comeliness? Had he not given her a beautiful name? Had he not put her in ... |
10 |
| 16 | 274 |
Mirus of Ar, her master, she believed, in his arrogance, had done that to her. |
10 |
| 16 | 460 |
She recalled, suddenly, bitterly, that Mirus had characterized her as a tight, cold little thing. |
10 |
| 16 | 468 |
But she did sense that if things had been a little different, if Mirus had treated her even a little bit differently, she would have cried out and wept herself his. |
10 |
| 16 | 490 |
Would I yield to him? If this were not a cruel sport of Mirus, my master, pretending to abandon me, pretending to put me up for sale, such as he might buy me! I will not permit myself to yield to men, she thought. |
10 |
| 16 | 520 |
My master, Mirus of Ar, could sell me, if he wished, she thought. |
10 |
| 16 | 631 |
When will Mirus of Ar, for that is the name by which she now thought of him, come for me, she wondered. |
10 |
| 16 | 640 |
If he should inform her as to its location, or even, inadvertently, by a word, or a facial movement, suggest that it was somewhere in the vicinity, that would surely show that it was the intent of Mirus to return her to it. |
10 |
| 16 | 642 |
"When am I to be returned to my master, Mirus of Ar!" she said. |
10 |
| 16 | 643 |
"Mirus of Ar is not your master," he said. |
10 |
| 16 | 660 |
"Mirus of Ar is my master!" she cried. |
10 |
| 16 | 1287 |
Oh, Mirus of Ar, she thought, bitterly. |
10 |
| 17 | 126 |
She thought of her former master, Mirus. |
10 |
| 17 | 806 |
And perhaps that was true, but she knew, as well, that she had not wanted a choice, that she had only wanted the continuance, and fulfillment, of those sensations, sensations which she had only dimly sensed, earlier, in her training, and in the hands of Mirus, might lie within her. |
10 |
| 17 | 863 |
I remember you, Mirus, my master. |
10 |
| 17 | 864 |
Mirus, you have given me to myself, she thought. |
10 |
| 17 | 1070 |
I am a slave! Are you satisfied now, Mirus, she thought. |
10 |
| 17 | 1078 |
How fitting for me, for I am a slave! Be amused, Mirus, she thought. |
10 |
| 17 | 1106 |
Yes, Mirus, she thought. |
10 |
| 17 | 1110 |
You had me sold as a low slave, from a common shelf, in a poor market, Mirus, she thought. |
10 |
| 18 | 121 |
In this place, she then understood, she would never be allowed to forget that she was first and foremost what Mirus had decided she would be, a pleasure slave. |
10 |
| 18 | 206 |
Let Mirus see me now, she thought. |
10 |
| 18 | 359 |
Mirus had let her go, it seemed, for a mere ten copper tarsks, such as might be paid for a worthless girl. |
10 |
| 18 | 360 |
To be sure, Mirus, as part of his vengeance and amusement, had doubtless wanted her sold so, as a worthless slut. |
10 |
| 18 | 368 |
Oh, dear Mirus, my erstwhile master, she thought to herself, what would you have made of that? Would you have recognized your Ellen, she whom you brought to Gor and so transformed and reduced, in that enticing, insolent, saucy little flirt? One who well knows how to torment a man? Would you have kno... |
10 |
| 18 | 369 |
After all, I am no longer your slave, my dear Mirus. |
10 |
| 20 | 689 |
She thought of the aristocratic, clever, beautiful, formerly rich woman "Evelyn," whom she had served at the supper of Mirus. |
10 |
| 20 | 928 |
This was, we may remember, the price for which Mirus had allegedly sold her to Targo. |
10 |
| 21 | 45 |
She was, of course, well marked as bond, in virtue of the brand, in her case the common kef, the most common mark on Gor for a slave girl, that which Mirus, doubtless to his amusement, had had put on her. |
10 |
| 22 | 172 |
She had begged one of her instructrices to inquire of Mirus, her master, for she herself was seldom admitted to his presence, if she might not be so trained, but the response to her petition, though apparently it amused him that she should make it, was in the negative. |
10 |
| 22 | 313 |
Doubtless Mirus had found that amusing. |
10 |
| 22 | 454 |
It was he who on this world had been her first master, he who on Earth had arranged and executed her straightforward, flawless abduction, he into whose keeping and under whose mastery she had first come, he amongst whose toils she had first found herself inextricably enmeshed, so absolutely, so simp... |
10 |
| 22 | 458 |
"Wine, slave girl!" called a fellow, from about the very fire where Mirus sat. |
10 |
| 22 | 467 |
When she raised her head and straightened her body Mirus had risen to his feet, turned from his interlocutor, and was preparing to depart. |
10 |
| 22 | 491 |
She would show Mirus, if he were still looking, what he had lost! She was suddenly joyous, and fulfilled, in being a slave! She recalled how surprised he had seemed to be, not just seeing her here, in the camp, but seeing her as she now was. |
10 |
| 22 | 510 |
Mirus was no longer there. |
10 |
| 22 | 557 |
She wondered if Mirus had recognized her. |
10 |
| 22 | 638 |
One of the men she saw, this startling her, was Mirus! She crept after them, using the wavering light of the lantern to follow them, it casting strange shadows on the tents and earth. |
10 |
| 22 | 641 |
In any event, though she did not admit this to herself, she would have risked much, merely to follow Mirus. |
10 |
| 22 | 665 |
Where is Mirus, who was my master, she asked herself. |
10 |
| 22 | 669 |
Oh, where has he gone? Where is Mirus? She rose again to her feet, and continued on, and then, after a few moments, stopped, suddenly. |
10 |
| 22 | 693 |
In the light she could see that Mirus was one of them. |
10 |
| 22 | 719 |
Mirus was the first to enter the tent. |
10 |
| 22 | 730 |
Mirus seemed to be in no danger, nor the other men. |
10 |
| 23 | 3 |
Two of the men rose, Mirus one of them. |
10 |
| 23 | 4 |
Ellen swiftly went to the first obeisance position before Mirus, and then crawled forward a foot, her head still down, and pressed her lips fearfully to his sandals, then backed away a few inches, and kept her head down. |
10 |
| 23 | 16 |
"Rather plain," said Mirus, dryly. |
10 |
| 23 | 22 |
Ellen wondered if she should have kept her knees closely together, before Mirus, but she had naturally, instantaneously, not even thinking about it, assumed the wide-kneed position. |
10 |
| 23 | 23 |
She saw Mirus smile, and flushed. |
10 |
| 23 | 38 |
Mirus smiled. |
10 |
| 23 | 51 |
"A low number for such as she," observed Mirus. |
10 |
| 23 | 84 |
"Surely the life of a slave," said Mirus, dryly, "may be of some value, however negligible, to masters". |
10 |
