"By the beards of the Priest-Kings," roared the Older Tarl as he brought his bird to the roof, "that is a tarn of tarns!" The tarns, released, winged their way back to the tarn cots, and the Older Tarl and I descended to my apartment. |
10 |
| 3 | 163 |
I shall call him the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 3 | 166 |
If there was one outstanding impression I gathered of the Older Tarl in that first terrifying meeting it was that he was a proud man, not arrogant, but proud, and rightfully so. |
10 |
| 3 | 173 |
"What if you are wounded in the right arm?" demanded the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 3 | 175 |
"No!" cried the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 3 | 179 |
The Older Tarl seized a spear, and Torm, lifting his robes, hastily departed the training area. |
10 |
| 3 | 181 |
Eventually, perhaps more to my surprise than that of the Older Tarl, my performance became almost creditable. |
10 |
| 3 | 187 |
During my training with the sword, the Older Tarl cut me unpleasantly a number of times, shouting out, annoyingly enough, I thought, "You are dead!" At last, near the end of my training, I managed to break through his guard and, pulling my stroke, to drive my blade against his chest. |
10 |
| 3 | 203 |
The Older Tarl, my redoubtable instructor in arms, did not care for them, regarding them as secondary weapons almost unworthy for the hand of a warrior. |
10 |
| 3 | 213 |
Once, when struck by the Older Tarl, I had cursed in Gorean, and he had laughed. |
10 |
| 3 | 231 |
"Be careful of a tarn-goad," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 3 | 234 |
The Older Tarl was leaving, and I understood that I was to follow him. |
10 |
| 3 | 242 |
The Older Tarl took a tarn whistle, or tarn call, from his tunic and blew a piercing blast. |
10 |
| 3 | 250 |
"Stand clear of the wings," shouted the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 3 | 271 |
The Older Tarl had mounted his tarn, climbing up the five-rung leather mounting ladder which hangs on the left side of the saddle and is pulled up in flight. |
10 |
| 3 | 284 |
The next thing I knew his beak was open; I caught a brief sight of his thin, sharp tongue, as long as a man's arm, darting out and back, and then, snapping at me, he lunged forward, striking at me with that monstrous beak, and I heard the Older Tarl cry out in horror, "The goad! The goad!". |
10 |
| 4 | 33 |
I looked below and saw the Older Tarl, mounted on his own tarn, climbing to overtake me. |
10 |
| 4 | 42 |
The Older Tarl, who seemed pleased, drew near. |
10 |
| 4 | 48 |
At last I managed to turn the bird, and we were streaking along in the wake of the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 4 | 56 |
In a dizzying minute or two we had passed the Older Tarl, to his amazement, and had settled again in a flurry of wings on the top of the cylinder from which we had departed a few minutes before. |
10 |
| 4 | 66 |
"No!" cried the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 4 | 90 |
There was a rush of wings outside the window of my apartment, and the Older Tarl flung himself across the room and dragged me to the floor. |
10 |
| 4 | 94 |
"A member of the Caste of Assassins," said the Older Tarl, gazing at the retreating speck in the distance. |
10 |

"You will learn in the morning," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 4 | 100 |
"Because the morning will come soon enough," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 4 | 116 |
The Older Tarl and I had made a round of taverns in the various cylinders, and I recall toddling precariously, singing obscene camp lyrics, along different narrow bridges, about a yard wide without rails, and the earth somewhere below—how far I had no idea at the time. |
10 |
| 4 | 118 |
The Older Tarl and I may have drunk too much of that fermented brew concocted with fiendish skill from the yellow grain, Sa-Tarna, and called Pagar-Sa-Tarna, Pleasure of the Life-Daughter, but almost always "paga" for short. |
10 |
| 4 | 121 |
If there were natural slaves and natural free men, as the Older Tarl had insisted, those girls were natural slaves. |
10 |
| 4 | 125 |
I shook the thought from my aching head, made an unsuccessful effort to muster a decent sense of shame, failed, and was belting my tunic when the Older Tarl entered the room. |
10 |
| 4 | 146 |
Behind me stood the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 4 | 149 |
The Older Tarl was speaking. |
10 |
| 4 | 171 |
With the Older Tarl I left the Chamber of the Council and entered a room off the chamber to wait for my father. |
10 |
| 4 | 173 |
The Older Tarl immediately went to the maps, and, calling me to his side, began to pore over them, pointing out this mark and that. |
10 |
| 4 | 176 |
"Yes," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 5 | 7 |
I waved a farewell to the Older Tarl and to my father, drew back on the one-strap, and was off, leaving the tower and their tiny figures behind me. |
10 |
| 5 | 34 |
The Older Tarl had told me that Thentis is a city famed for its tarn flocks and remote in the mountains from which the city takes its name. |
10 |
| 5 | 174 |
Or perhaps I should bless the fighting spirit of that plumed giant, my war tarn, that terrible thing the Older Tarl had called a tarn of tarns. |
10 |
| 8 | 151 |
I recalled the attempt on my life in the cylinder of my father, an attempt that would have been successful except for the alertness of the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 14 | 9 |
He was a gigantic man, larger even than the Older Tarl, and in his eyes, wild and green, I saw the masterful flame which had, in its way, also burned in the eyes of Talena, his daughter. |
10 |
| 19 | 96 |
I had heard of the Flame Death from my father and from the Older Tarl—that legendary fate which overtook those who had transgressed the will of the Priest-Kings. |

I longed for my city, and for my father, the magnificent Matthew Cabot, once Ubar, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and for my friends, the proud Older Tarl, my master-at-arms, and Torm, the cheerful, grumbling little scribe who regarded even sleep and food as part of a conspiracy to separate him from... |
10 |
| 21 | 91 |
My conjecture, confirmed to some extent by the speculations of the Older Tarl, who had taught me the craft of arms in Ko-ro-ba years ago, is that the brand is used primarily, oddly enough, because of its reputed psychological effect. |

The Older Tarl, who had been my mentor in arms years ago in Ko-ro-ba, had once told me the story of a free woman, desperately in love with a warrior, who, in the presence of her family was entertaining him, and whose wrists, unconsciously, had assumed the position of a slave. |
10 |
| 6 | 38 |
The Older Tarl had guffawed in recounting this anecdote and was scarcely less pleased by its sequel. |
10 |
| 19 | 41 |
"These things," said Sarm, "may even be older than the modifications of the net. |
10 |
| 27 | 149 |
Slowly the Priest-Kings began to circle one another in a ritual more ancient perhaps even than the Feast of Tola, a ritual perhaps older than even the days and objects celebrated by the string of metal tools that hung jangling about the neck of Sarm. |
10 |
| 34 | 4 |
I felt a sudden blow on my back and nearly lost my breath and twisted to see the gigantic, brawny Older Tarl, my former Master at Arms, who clapped me on the shoulders, his hands like the talons of tarns. |
10 |
| 34 | 10 |
I swept him off his feet and spun him around and the robes flew from his head and Torm of the Caste of Scribes cried aloud in joy and that sandy hair wheeled in the wind and tears ran sideways down his face and he never lost hold of the scroll although he nearly batted the Older Tarl with it in one ... |
10 |
| 34 | 15 |
"We do not know," said the Older Tarl, for my father could not bring himself to say the words. |
10 |
| 34 | 19 |
"We met here," said the Older Tarl, "and since it seemed the world would end we decided that we would stand together one last time—in spite of the will of Priest-Kings—that we would stand together one last time as men of Ko-ro-ba". |
10 |
| 34 | 27 |
He looked at the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 31 |
"I will tell everyone," said the Older Tarl kindly, "that you are the bravest of the Caste of Scribes". |
10 |
| 34 | 37 |
"Forgive me, Vika," I said, and introduced her to my father, to the Older Tarl and Torm, the Scribe, and explained as briefly as I could what had befallen us in the Sardar. |
10 |
| 34 | 38 |
My father, the Older Tarl and Torm listened amazed to my account of the truths of the Sardar. |
10 |
| 34 | 41 |
"And I," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 52 |
This time the Older Tarl lifted him up by the scruff of his robes and held him dangling, kicking, a foot from the ground. |
10 |
| 34 | 69 |
"And here, too, is Ko-ro-ba," I said, pointing to the proud giant, the Older Tarl, and the tiny, sandy-haired scribe, Torm. |
10 |
| 34 | 74 |
My father and the Older Tarl and Torm exchanged glances. |
10 |
| 34 | 126 |
"She was very beautiful," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 129 |
"But," said the Older Tarl, "you are a Warrior". |
10 |
| 34 | 134 |
The Older Tarl's eyes, like mine, ran the edge, and I saw that he approved. |
10 |
| 34 | 143 |
I told the Older Tarl and Torm to say good-bye to my father, as I did not trust myself to see him longer, for fear that I would not wish so soon to part from him again. |
10 |
| 34 | 150 |
The Older Tarl smiled. |
10 |
| 34 | 159 |
"Perhaps," said the Older Tarl, "she attempted to reach her father, Marlenus, in the Voltai". |
10 |

The Older Tarl, the Koroban master of arms, and myself had found the body, and near it, the patch of green caught in a crack in the grillwork of one of the lamps on the bridge, where perhaps it had been torn from the shoulder of a running, stumbling man. |

It is to the advantage of any given faction that there should be a small number of factions in competition and so the riders of an older faction, if unable to win themselves in given races, will often attempt to prevent a good race being flown by the riders of the new faction. |
10 |
| 16 | 217 |
Further, it is common among older factions not to hire riders who have ridden for the new factions, though sometimes, in the case of a particularly excellent rider, this practice is waived. |

So 'Tutina', then, thought the older woman, is the name of that stupid tart! It seemed an odd name, an unfamiliar sort of name, but it did not seem inappropriate for one such as she, one who was so elementally, so simplistically, so reductively female. |
10 |
| 4 | 26 |
The older woman did not understand the meaning of the reference to "discipline," but something in that word, seemingly in its very sound, terrified her. |
10 |
| 4 | 27 |
Did it suggest that the woman's femininity, the very principle of her femininity, was somehow uncompromisingly subjected to his masculinity, to the very principle of his masculinity? The young man then turned again, affably, toward the older woman, indicating the chair. |
10 |
| 4 | 29 |
The older woman, too, was frightened, for she had seen his glance. |
10 |
| 4 | 32 |
"I shall scream," whispered the older woman, knowing she would not do so. |
10 |
| 4 | 43 |
"Please," said the young man to the older woman, gently, indicating the chair he had placed before the desk. |
10 |
| 4 | 52 |
"I want my clothing," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 54 |
"This is all I have on!" protested the older woman, indicating the starched, white, stiff gown, so simple, so antiseptic, in its appearance. |
10 |
| 4 | 69 |
Instantly she turned about, sinuously, and, half lying, half kneeling, extended her left leg, gracefully, toward the older woman, her knee slightly bent, her toes pointed, extending the line of her well-curved calf. |
10 |
| 4 | 71 |
The older woman gasped, in misery. |
10 |
| 4 | 75 |
Too, the older woman was alarmed, and troubled, by the sudden, prompt, immediate, graceful response of Tutina to the utterance "Anklet!" It was as though she had been trained to present the device for easy view, and immediately, gracefully, beautifully, upon the utterance of that word, which, it see... |
10 |
| 4 | 76 |
Lastly the older woman sensed, from the sharpness with which the command had been issued, that the young man was not pleased with Tutina. |
10 |
| 4 | 78 |
The older woman suspected that the young man might recall this lapse, if lapse it was, to Tutina when they were alone. |
10 |
| 4 | 80 |
The older woman recalled that the young man had made a casual reference to "discipline". |
10 |
| 4 | 87 |
"There is some sort of marking on the thing," said the older woman, looking down, to her own ankle. |
10 |
| 4 | 90 |
"Who undressed me? Who put me in this gown?" asked the older woman, frightened. |
10 |
| 4 | 94 |
To be sure, she was then relating to the older woman, not to the young man. |
10 |
| 4 | 95 |
The older woman flushed, and then, in embarrassment, closed her eyes briefly, and then opened them, looking down, angrily, toward the rug. |
10 |
| 4 | 99 |
"I want my clothing," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 136 |
The young man returned his attention to the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 174 |
That had suited the older woman very well, who did not care in the least for the young man's companion, whom she viewed as obviously far beneath him, profoundly unworthy of him. |
10 |
| 4 | 175 |
Did he not know that? The older woman, then pleased with the reticence and, for most practical purposes, the disappearance of the blonde, addressed herself delightedly to the young man, realizing that she was now somehow the center of his attention. |
10 |
| 4 | 205 |
This gave the older woman no little pleasure. |
10 |
| 4 | 208 |
She had not seemed as dismayed as the older woman had hoped she would be. |
10 |
| 4 | 211 |
He ordered a Manhattan, a sweet Manhattan, for the older woman and a Scotch for himself. |
10 |
| 4 | 214 |
The older woman assumed that she might have some medical condition, or perhaps an allergy to alcohol. |
10 |
| 4 | 216 |
The older woman was surprised, too, when the young man had simply ordered for her, too, without asking her what she might prefer. |
10 |
| 4 | 286 |
The man behind her carried a small table, which he put down, before the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 290 |
Tutina regarded the older woman with hatred, unseen by the young man, as her back was to him. |
10 |
| 4 | 291 |
The older woman returned her stare, coldly. |
10 |
| 4 | 292 |
Tutina, of course, must await the consent, the signal, of the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 293 |
The older woman made her wait, for several seconds. |
10 |
| 4 | 297 |
"Thank you," said the older woman, politely dismissing her. |
10 |
| 4 | 300 |
The older woman smiled inwardly. |
10 |
| 4 | 303 |
The older woman did not neglect to look down at Tutina where she knelt, and smile upon her, sweetly. |
10 |
| 4 | 307 |
"I do not understand any of this," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 333 |
"It would be so primitive," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 351 |
The older woman enjoyed seeing Tutina, as she knelt, stiffen slightly, in anger. |
10 |
| 4 | 353 |
It pleased the older woman to see the sensuous, hated, beautiful blonde so much in his power. |
10 |
| 4 | 354 |
"No," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 358 |
The older woman nodded. |
10 |
| 4 | 360 |
"I thought your supposed world was primitive," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 368 |
"I do not understand what you are saying," whispered the older woman, frightened. |
10 |
| 4 | 380 |
If one is to be sacrificed, why not the fiftieth, she alone, why the forty-nine?" "Let each be as she wishes," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 389 |
"I have upon occasion," he said, "seen photographs of older women, sometimes very old women, taken when they were much younger, in the bloom of their youth and beauty. |
10 |
| 4 | 392 |
But if one had known them then! Ah, if one had known them then! Then would one not have found them terribly attractive? Would one not have wanted then to know them, to approach them, to touch them?" "Everyone grows old," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 421 |
The older woman looked to the kneeling blonde, if only to corroborate her own consternation, her own disbelief, but Tutina stared ahead, not meeting her eyes. |
10 |
| 4 | 424 |
"Bought her?" asked the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 426 |
"You are not the young man I knew," said the older woman. |
10 |
| 4 | 449 |
The older woman was aghast, stunned. |
10 |
| 4 | 460 |
The older woman cried out in misery, and hid her face in her hands. |
10 |
| 4 | 538 |
The older woman said nothing, but wept. |
10 |
| 4 | 541 |
Awkwardly, and with unsteadiness, and some pain, the older woman, tears in her eyes, humiliated, went to her hands and knees, and then to the position to which she had been directed. |
10 |
| 4 | 543 |
The older woman whimpered. |
10 |
| 4 | 545 |
The older woman cried out, softly, in sudden protest, as the gown was thrust up, rudely, above her waist. |
10 |
| 5 | 47 |
When the two young ladies who spoke English had finally discerned the nature of her inquiry, they had laughed merrily, and translated it delightedly for their companions, who, too, then, looking from one to the other, two clapping their hands with pleasure, burst into laughter, the older woman havin... |
10 |
| 6 | 53 |
She did not seem to have the same easy familiarity with them as with the others; they did not, for example, seem to see her in the role of a dignified older woman, one entitled to respect in virtue of her years, and weakness. |
10 |
| 7 | 211 |
She saw at least one woman who must have been in her sixties, and one who seemed pathetically older, frail, unconscious, being gently carried past in the arms of an attendant. |
10 |
| 10 | 73 |
She knew now, of course, given their last encounter, that he could own, dominate and master her, even were he as he was now, and she older, she in her late twenties. |
10 |
| 10 | 80 |
Now he was older, and even more mature, than she. |
10 |
| 11 | 794 |
Most of the older women, she gathered, had been returned to that point and stabilized there. |
10 |
| 20 | 473 |

But the older of the two lads splashed toward her and, with the back of his hand, lashed out and struck her across the mouth, causing her to half rise, stumble, and then fall back, some feet, to her side, in the deeper water. |
10 |
| 20 | 516 |
What did they know of men and the women in their collars? The older lad motioned that she should come closer, and then cautioned her to approach no more closely. |
10 |
| 20 | 527 |
"I like to see them spread like that," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 538 |
One of the lads then, the older, wading toward her, touched her, and she drew back, quickly. |
10 |
| 20 | 544 |
"See?" said the older lad to the younger. |
10 |
| 20 | 546 |
"Keep your hands on your tunic," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 549 |
"See?" said the older lad to the younger. |
10 |
| 20 | 552 |
"This is a good slave," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 554 |
"See," said the older, "she is ready". |
10 |
| 20 | 558 |
The older of the two lads grinned. |
10 |
| 20 | 560 |
"Why should we not have coins and your use?" inquired the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 563 |
"Think carefully before you respond," said the older. |
10 |
| 20 | 566 |
"That can be told from the way you move, slave," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 568 |
The older lad now knelt beside her, in the shallow water. |
10 |
| 20 | 571 |
"I think we will enjoy you, pretty slut," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 578 |
"You said you belonged to some fellow of Ar," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 581 |
Beware, young Masters, I am now the property of Cos!" "You can read," said the younger to the older. |
10 |
| 20 | 582 |
"A little," said the older. |
10 |
| 20 | 585 |
"Something—'in the name of Cos'," said the older. |
10 |
| 20 | 587 |
"Can you read?" asked the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 592 |
"Get a rope from the boat," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 619 |
"You are not to utter a sound," said the older lad, "not the least sound, or we will put you on your back, and put a stick between your teeth and tie it there, so that you cannot close your teeth, and then bind leeches in your mouth". |
10 |
| 20 | 621 |
"There is a Cosian retinue some ten pasangs to the west," said the older lad, working the back oar. |
10 |
| 20 | 633 |
"Yes," called back the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 656 |

10 |
| 20 | 661 |
The touches of the older of the two young men had been deft. |
10 |
| 20 | 677 |
"Be silent, slave girl," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 680 |
"You are going to be put in a sack," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 682 |
"Bring the sack," said the older lad to the younger. |
10 |
| 20 | 684 |
"Do you think we wish to risk the village?" asked the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 801 |
"We want coins for her," said the older of the two lads, boldly. |
10 |
| 20 | 815 |
The older of the two boys steadied her for, for a moment, it was hard for her to stand. |
10 |
| 20 | 818 |
"See, she is the property of Cos," said the older boy. |
10 |
| 20 | 837 |
"We want coins for her," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 841 |
"Not we, of course," said the older, hastily. |
10 |
| 20 | 844 |
"Yes," said the older boy. |
10 |
| 20 | 846 |
"We brought her back," pointed out the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 849 |
"And everyone knows the generosity of Cos," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 853 |
"Serving Cos is reward enough," said the older lad. |
10 |
| 20 | 856 |
"Master?" said the older lad, hopefully. |
10 |
| 20 | 866 |
"No, Master," said the older. |
10 |
| 20 | 868 |
"She is the property of Cos," the older one reminded the man. |
10 |
| 20 | 871 |
"Long live Cos!" said the older lad. |
