3	94	The offending war chief is simply abandoned, left alone in his palace to be impaled by the citizens of the city he has tried to usurp".	10
3	95	I nodded, imagining a palace, empty save for one man sitting alone on his throne, clad in his robes of state, waiting for the angry people outside the gates to break through and work their wrath.	10
15	115	Mintar's tent was enormous and domed, similar in shape to others in his camp; however, not only in size, but in splendor of appointment, it was a palace of silk.	10
16	50	Marlenus and several men had entered the city, it seemed, but had been discovered—and sealed off in the very cylinder of the Home Stones—indeed, in that cylinder that had been his palace in the days of his glory.	10
16	59	I was confident that there would be cisterns and canisters of water in the palace, and I supposed that Marlenus, as an enlightened precaution, in view of the unstable politics of Ar, would have outfitted his cylinder as a keep, laying in stores of food and missile weapons.	10
18	121	I knew that when I entered the palace my presence would be inexplicable to the guardsmen and that I would not long be able to pass myself off as a herald of Pa-Kur, certainly not when it became clear that it was my intention to depart with Marlenus.	10
18	148	The tarns, all of them, entered the cylinder, the palace of Marlenus.	10

9	50	"You can spend it beyond the walls in the fields," he said, "or you can spend it in the Palace of the Tatrix".	10
9	51	"It sounds to me as though the Palace of the Tatrix were the more comfortable," I said.	10
10	1	The Palace of the Tatrix Resistance would have been useless.	10
10	10	"Have I your word that you will accompany me peaceably to the palace of the Tatrix?" asked the guardsman.	10
10	19	I followed the guardsman, yet ringed with his men, to the palace of the Tatrix.	10
10	26	How would my word, the word of a stranger, weigh against the words of Ost, a citizen of Tharna and perhaps one of significance? Yet, incredibly perhaps, I looked forward to seeing the palace and the Tatrix, to meeting face to face the unusual woman who could rule, and rule well, a city of Gor.	10
10	27	Had I not been arrested I guessed I might, of my own free will, have called upon the Tatrix of Tharna, and, as one citizen had expressed it, spent my night in her palace.	10
10	30	At last, a hundred yards ahead, cold in the morning light, I saw the palace, actually a rounded fortress of brick, black, heavy, unadorned, formidable.	10
10	31	At the entrance to the palace the somber, wet avenue shrunk to a passage large enough only for a single man, and the walls at the same time rose to a height of perhaps thirty feet.	10
10	33	Only one man could come or go at a time from the palace of Tharna.	10
10	35	I wondered if within this stern, brutal fortress, this palace of the Tatrix of Tharna, justice could be done.	10
11	11	The interior of the palace seemed to me to be deserted.	10
11	21	About the room, here and there, stood stern warriors of Tharna, grim in their blue helmets, each with a tiny silver mask on the temple—members of the palace guard.	10
11	93	There was a whimpering and a scuffling from behind me, and, to my astonishment, one of the guardsman of the palace, the tiny silver mask blazed across the left temple of his helmet, flung Ost, the conspirator, yoked and sniveling, to the foot of the throne.	10
19	73	"Word of our deeds even now hurries to the Palace of the Tatrix," I cried.	10

22	110	"In these dreams I had been proud in my palace surrounded by my council and warriors and then, shattering the roof like glass, a great tarn descended, bearing a helmeted warrior.	10
23	110	Many were reported to cower in the confines of the royal palace itself.	10
24	128	* * * * We marched through the city, the streets behind us filled like gray rivers with the rebels, each man with his own weapon, yet the sound of those rivers converging on the palace of the Tatrix was anything but gray.	10
24	131	It was clear to the defenders of the palace, which formed the major bastion of Dorna's challenged regime, that the issue would be decided that day and by the sword.	10
24	132	Word had swept ahead as if on the wings of tarns that the rebels, abandoning their tactics of ambush and evasion, were at last marching on the palace.	10
24	133	I saw before us once again that broad, winding but ever narrowing avenue which led to the palace of the Tatrix.	10
24	142	On the roof of the palace beyond the double rampart I could occasionally see the head of a tarn and I heard their screams.	10
24	146	And should the warriors have attempted to use the tarns merely to fire down on the crowd, they would suddenly have found the streets deserted, until the shadow of the bird had passed and the rebels could move another hundred yards closer to the palace.	10
24	233	They had cast down their weapons and, singing, they marched to the palace.	10
24	239	We approached the small iron door that gave access to the palace, I in the lead.	10
24	248	This time the trap did not open and I found myself in a narrow unlit hallway opposite the door to the palace.	10
24	250	I did not listen to their protests but saying no more began my torchlit journey through the now-darkened labyrinth of the palace corridors.	10
24	255	The palace was perhaps deserted.	10
25	1	The Roof of the Palace The war cries of Tharna and Ko-ro-ba mingled as Thorn hurled himself down the stairs toward me and I raced toward him.	10
25	29	It was the soldiers and rebels, and the halls of the palace echoed the anthem of the plowing song.	10
25	51	"But the palace is surrounded," she said.	10
25	53	"Quick!" Lara raced ahead of me and I followed as she led the way to the roof of the palace.	10
25	64	He held, leashed, the large, sleek white urt which I had encountered in the pit inside the palace door.	10
26	21	When found they were dragged forth into the street, unmasked, cruelly bound together and driven to the palace at the point of weapons, their masks hanging about their necks.	10

7	4	The wagon itself was the largest in the camp, and the largest wagon I had conceived possible; actually it was a vast platform, set on numerous wheeled frames; though at the edges of the platform, on each side, there were a dozen of the large wheels such as are found on the much smaller wagons; these...	10
9	3	It was somewhat surprising to me that Kamchak and I, being in our way ambassadors of the Wagon Peoples, were entertained in the house of Saphrar, the merchant, rather than in the palace of Phanius Turmus, Administrator of Turia.	10
9	6	The official reason, proclaimed by Phanius Turmus, the Administrator, and others high in the government, was that those of the Wagon Peoples were unworthy to be entertained in the administrative palace; the real reason, apparently seldom proclaimed by anyone, was that the true power in Turia lay act...	10

22	10	Kamchak had taken up quarters in the palace of Phanius Turmus, which, save for the looting and the ripping down of tapestries, the wanton defacing of wall mosaics, was unharmed.	10
22	32	I then wished to proceed immediately to the palace of Phanius Turmus, where Kamchak had set up his headquarters, to place myself at his disposal, but Harold insisted rather on trooping about the city, here and there examining pockets of Turian resistance.	10
22	41	"The palace of Phanius Turmus," he said.	10
22	45	I was astonished when, at the gate to the palace of Phanius Turmus, the four Tuchuk guards smote their lances three times on their leather shields.	10
22	65	By this time I had followed Harold over to a corner of the courtyard wall, which was heaped high, banked into the corner, with precious metals, plates, cups; bowls of jewels; necklaces and bracelets; boxes of coins and, in heavy, wooden crates, numerous stacked cubes of silver and gold, each stamped...	10
22	73	We now entered yet another courtyard, an inner courtyard, between the palace and the inside wall of the outer courtyard.	10
22	99	"I am sorry," I said, and turned swiftly away, to enter the palace of Phanius Turmus.	10
22	101	I sprang up the steps, followed by Harold, and we soon found ourselves in the marbled entry hall of the palace.	10
22	105	At the low tables, perhaps brought from various places in the palace, there sat many Tuchuk officers, and even some men without rank.	10
24	21	On the day following my arrival in Turia, Harold, on tarnback, relieved at his request of the command of the wagons and herds, joined me in the palace of Phanius Turmus.	10
24	22	During the day and night, taking hours of sleep where we could, sometimes on the rugs of the palace of Phanius Turmus, sometimes on the stones of the streets by watch fires, Harold and I, at Kamchak's orders, performed a variety of tasks, sometimes joining in the fighting, sometimes acting as liaiso...	10
24	59	Harold and I chewed on some bosk meat roasted over a fire built on the marble floor of the palace of Phanius Turmus.	10
24	175	I bounded down the stairs of the palace of Phanius Turmus, and sped through the inner and outer courtyard and out into the street, leaving the startled guards trying to salute me as a commander.	10
27	3	On the last day before the withdrawal of the Wagon Peoples from nine-gated, high-walled Turia, Kamchak held court in the palace of Phanius Turmus.	10
27	14	In the palace of Phanius Turmus, on his throne, sat Kamchak, the purple of the Ubar's robes thrown casually over one shoulder, over his Tuchuk leather.	10
27	44	It was only at that time, as he held court in the palace of Phanius Turmus, that I realized he would permit the city its freedom, and its soul.	10
27	193	Outside the main gate of the palace of Phanius Turmus, Kamchak, on his kaiila, waited for us.	10

13	222	I recall seeing, crouched against the wall of a building near the postern gate of the palace of Lurius, a coarse-robed figure, foolishly come too early to sell his vegetables, suls and tur-pah, near the palace.	10
10	39	His holding was a fortified palace.	10
12	7	Now, from the height of one of the investing walls, some hundred yards from the high bleak wall of one of the holdings of Sevarius, said to be his palace, I, with Thurnock, Clitus, and others, by the light of Gor's three moons, observed the opening of a postern gate.	10

15	589	Raised as she had been, in the sequestered quarters of high-born women in the palace of Tyros in Kasra, I supposed it was perhaps the first time that the lips of a man had touched hers.	10
15	590	Doubtless she had expected to receive that kiss standing in the swirling love silks of the Free Companion, beneath golden love lamps, beside the couch of the Ubar of Cos; but it was not in the white, marbled palace of the Ubar of Cos that that kiss was to take place; and it was not to be received as...	10

12	91	Marlenus, in whose palace she held her residence, probably, in his generosity, would have seen that she accepted my proposal.	10

5	231	The palace slave master will be along later, too, to release the girls and put them back about their more customary duties".	10
5	298	Best perhaps, I was allowed to leave the palace whenever I might please, provided I did so incognito and in the company of Drusus Rencius.	10

32	97	Meanwhile, of course, the true Sheila will be concealed in my quarters, later to be smuggled from the palace in the guise of a free woman, that of a companion of one of my retainers, supposedly an envoy from Turia.	10
32	98	The slave brought in with him in this role, put back in proper slave garb, has already been sold to an officer in the palace guard.	10

6	1393	"We have performed in the main square," he admitted, "once even in the courtyard of the palace itself".	10
12	504	The keying materials for the messages, I suspected, would lie in the palace in Brundisium, perhaps even in the private chambers of her Ubar himself, Belnar.	10
12	513	Yes, upon reflection, it now seemed quite likely that Brundisium was in league with Kurii, that there was some sort of connection between the palace at Brundisium and the subtleties and machinations of the denizens of the steel worlds.	10
12	517	It might be difficult, of course, to gain access to the palace.	10
15	68	Now all changes! Now, fool, you will be the reason not only for my restoration to privilege and station in Brundisium, the reason for my new rise to favor in the court, in the eyes of Belnar, my Ubar, but the cause, as well, of my attaining there, in the palace and in the service of my Ubar, and the...	10

69	107	The steps of the palace were gouged with flame, chips of stone showered aflight, exploding from the steps, dark lines of flame laced them, the very air was smoking and burning, and Lucullus and Crassus, and several others, those who could, fled in rout back to the shelter of the palace".	10

55	8	Despite its isolation, and practical remoteness, it was, however, as indicated earlier, not altogether removed from the vicinity of the habitats, and it lay within a night's march of the palace.	10

64	108	The girl herself had been picked up shortly after her escape by a Kur outpost, and remanded to the palace.	10
64	114	It was Flavion's expressed speculation that she had earlier lurked about the camp, and learned the plans for marching on the palace, after first meeting at the Vale of Destruction, and that then she had conveyed these plans to the forces of Agamemnon.	10

69	119	"Fraternization took place, and rejoicing," said another Kur, "but the palace remained apart, invested".	10

13	461	While she rose up, and dressed, I went to a narrow window in the wall, which looked out, onto the night, and the palace courtyard.	10
13	505	"All windows in the palace, Master," said the girl whom I had ordered to the bars, "are similarly barred, even those in the private quarters of Lord Yamada himself".	10

16	31	Whereas I had been given much liberty of movement within the palace, the garden, and the surrounding grounds, with their shops, pantries, storerooms, and numerous ancillary buildings, including a bakery, smokehouse, and brewery, certain areas were forbidden to me.	10
16	48	Given the time involved, it seemed plausible I had been transported by wagon or cart from the vicinity of the castle to the palace.	10
16	56	I did not now know Sumomo's whereabouts, but had gathered that Lord Yamada, displeased with her, would arrange, by means of the contrived readings of Daichi, that she be brought somewhere into his regions, perhaps to the palace, to be dealt with as a failed spy.	10

21	17	I had inquired his name in the palace, and had made it a point to greet him, from time to time, in a friendly manner.	10
21	55	Four days ago, following the slaying of the reader of bones and shells, Tatsu, and the attempted assassination of Lord Yamada, Tajima and Pertinax had left the palace grounds and, as far as I knew, returned safely to the encampment beyond the holding of Lord Temmu.	10
21	93	Similarly, in the very palace, I had recently sensed Kur.	10
21	106	I must return to the palace.	10
21	113	She had been ignorant that her work had been discovered, and thought herself recalled to the palace either for her protection or for a new, different assignment.	10
21	120	It was not difficult to come by this intelligence as the palace was alive with it that morning.	10
21	125	Not only did this preclude the meting out of his justice on his failed agent, but it would be annoying, certainly, to recognize that she had been boldly removed from the palace, literally from amongst his guards.	10
21	131	I rose up from the bench and prepared to exit the garden, returning to the palace.	10
21	146	"I am but recently returned to the palace," she said, "after recovering from an ordeal, for I am delicate, indeed, only yesterday, drawn by successions of runners, in a two-wheeled hand wagon".	10
21	147	"It was said," I said, "that you were taken from the palace, and that, days ago".	10
21	151	"How could you be taken from the palace?" I asked.	10
21	244	I was sure I would be soon returned to the safety of the palace.	10
21	374	Later, my identity recognized, a hand cart was arranged for my eventual return to the palace, following my recovery from this dreadful ordeal, with a double escort, two patrols".	10
21	421	"Why do you think he risked much," I asked, "to carry you from the palace?" "For ransom," she said.	10
23	40	"It is conjectured," I said, "that the assailant entered the garden through the palace".	10
23	47	"Then," said Haruki, "the garden having been entered earlier, from within the palace, the assailant conceals himself, and, like a sheathed knife, awaits his opportunity".	10
23	55	"Through the palace, earlier," said Haruki.	10
23	118	"It leads beyond the palace to the vicinity of auxiliary buildings, the dairy, the smoke house, store houses, some workshops, the pens.	10
23	129	"I think there is little about the palace you do not know," I said.	10
23	226	"The cot of the message vulos," he said, "was a day's trek from the palace.	10
24	79	In settled times, a given daimyo, in his turn, will commonly spend half of the year in the palace, subject to the scrutiny of the shogun, and the other half in his own dominion, supervising his lands and retainers.	10
24	80	When I had come into the power of Lord Yamada, betrayed into his hands by Lord Temmu, however, Lord Akio was the only daimyo then in attendance at the palace.	10
24	83	It might also be noted that while a daimyo is absent from the palace, it is often the case, though not always, that his wife and children will be guests of the shogun.	10
25	63	Haruki, I gathered, had attempted to reach the cot, where he would attempt to attach my tiny message, in English, to the leg of one of the vulos captured by Yamada's men from the surprised and seized secret cot, remote from the palace, which vulos would doubtless, for identificatory purposes, be ind...	10
25	85	I knew that an unpleasant death of some sort was connected with this practice, but only now, recalling some casual remarks heard earlier, having to do with festivity and illumination, and recalling a glimpse of unusual objects, like cylindrical bundles, lining both sides of the avenue to the main ga...	10
26	1	What Occurred Outside the Stadium "Do not gainsay me," I said, angrily, to the guard on the road, that leading to the palace.	10
26	59	I then turned about and made my way toward several of the ancillary buildings in the vicinity of the palace.	10
26	64	He would know where it was, it was somewhere here about, here, outside the palace grounds, the concealed entry to the secret tunnel which led to the garden.	10
27	98	* * * We must, by now, be two or three Ahn from the palace grounds.	10
27	110	And I recalled that Saru might even, for all I knew, be shackled at night in the palace itself.	10
27	131	We had evaded search parties four times earlier, though each time in the vicinity of the palace.	10
27	145	"The noble one forgets," said Haruki, "that the cavalry is likely to suppose you are still in the palace".	10
27	164	Now I know they must have been housed close to the palace".	10
27	167	Indeed, on the palace road, Ehn later, I saw two tarns aflight, northward.	10
27	173	"Then," said Haruki, "it is likely some means of communication linked the palace with a more distant point".	10
27	181	How quick I had been to suppose illegal deceit and even perilous, surreptitious dishonesty, a betrayal of principles and understandings, a departure from implicit rules without which a game, even a mighty game on which might depend worlds, would be forsworn and treacherously subverted! But I recalle...	10
29	25	This made sense to me, as Haruki might well remember him from the palace of Yamada, on the fateful afternoon and evening of the supper.	10
29	54	I recalled how dismayed I had been when, en route to the palace road, to free Haruki and his fellows, if possible, I had seen the two tarns streaking northward, and one mounted doubtless by dangerous and pertinacious Tyrtaios, who, I feared, possessed the subtlety, training, and weaponry of the dark...	10
29	134	Hopefully, she had been given something later, either in the pen, or before her shackling in the palace.	10
30	44	We were some fifteen days now from the palace of Lord Yamada.	10
32	193	"Long ago," said Yasushi, "on the palace grounds of Lord Yamada, Shogun of the Islands, I profited from the instruction of an itinerant master".	10
34	72	"He is an intimate of the shogun himself, and a daimyo who has been in frequent attendance in the palace.	10
36	78	"I have with me two of the shogun's officers, of the palace itself, who will conduct you in honor to a suitable officer, before whom you may pledge your service to the shogun".	10
37	70	On the other hand, given the intensity and extensiveness of searchings, the broadcast alertings of villages, and such, which would presumably be anticipated, it would be quite possible that he would be captured, and, if captured, would be brought to Lord Yamada, not back at the palace, but here, whe...	10
39	19	"Surely you are behind, not here, but much away, faraway, held in the palace of Yamada".	10
42	103	Certainly he was much at the palace, and, now, is the camp lord of Lord Yamada's march.	10
44	40	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Okimoto, "was a guest in the palace of Lord Yamada, for several days.	10
44	326	"Perhaps from as far as the palace of Lord Yamada?" asked Lord Nishida.	10
45	1	Friends Converse on a Hilltop, A Distant Palace in View "You once said you had seen the iron dragon," I said to Haruki.	10
45	2	"In the sky, to the west of the palace," said Haruki.	10
45	11	"That is the palace of Yamada in the distance," said Pertinax.	10
45	12	"Consider the fifth level of the palace," I said, "from this side, toward the north".	10
45	102	He and Haruki had been sitting with us, quiet, listening, on a hill, overlooking the palace of Yamada in the distance.	10
45	157	"You think the iron dragon is housed on the fifth level of the palace?" he said.	10
45	159	"We wish to obtain access then, I take it, to the palace of Yamada".	10
45	169	"As I see it," I said, "the main difficulty is being able to do something within the palace, if one should attain access to it, and, if one is interested in such things, coming out alive.	10
45	199	"You think Yamada is there," said Tajima, looking away, to the east, "in the palace?" "I suspect so," I said.	10
45	202	Too, if I am correct, that the iron dragon is housed in the palace, it is likely that he would wish to be in its vicinity, that he might the most conveniently put it to his purposes".	10
45	204	It seems access to the palace may not be practical.	10
45	207	We cannot even be really certain the iron dragon is housed in the palace, and, if it were, we could do little about it.	10
45	248	"It is said word of it has carried even to the palace," said Haruki.	10
46	28	We were in the Yamada market town closest to the palace itself.	10
46	31	As mentioned, two warriors, from the palace itself, were in the crowd.	10
46	74	"There are two warriors here, from the palace".	10
46	322	"How may I be of assistance?" "Take four with you, into the palace," I said.	10
47	19	And so there was our swordsman, and his cohorts! And what cohorts, their features concealed with wind scarves! Who could they be? Would they not be, if possible, individuals familiar with the palace and its grounds, those who would have been within its rooms and corridors, who would know their way a...	10
47	78	"It is pleasant to see you in the palace once more," said Lord Yamada, "but one might have hoped for happier circumstances".	10
47	142	Some pasangs from the palace, in a deep draw, Ichiro had concealed four tarns, his, and three others, those with which Pertinax, Tajima, and I, Haruki behind the saddle of Tajima, had flown south.	10
47	146	We had contacted him and informed him of our plan before approaching the palace.	10
47	147	We did not know, of course, at that time, if we would be called to the palace or not, and, if so, if we were to be allowed to approach the shogun, when that would be.	10
48	67	"You see, great lord," said Tajima, "your villages and towns, your fortresses, your storehouses, even your palace, all these remain in jeopardy".	10
49	121	I was on the third level of the palace.	10
50	1	Certification Tajima, Pertinax, and I were now in the narrow side corridor on the fifth level of the palace, the same access to which had been denied to me several weeks ago, by its guard.	10
50	30	Tajima had paused before the entrance to a side corridor, to the left, one off the second of the two main corridors on the fifth level of the palace.	10
50	39	Pertinax and I then went to the wall of the main corridor, that on the west side of the palace, beside the entrance to the side corridor.	10
50	46	"I brought them, that I might have a pretext for moving about in the palace, discharging a seeming errand".	10
50	49	Common Ashigaru, of course, were not permitted to move about the palace, at will.	10
50	73	What if one should suffer a mishap, or become disabled? Surely Kurii would not rely on but a single operative in the palace.	10
50	138	This portion of the palace, with its door and supplies, might form a defensible redoubt capable of resisting intrusion for days.	10
51	2	"This is the fifth level of the palace," said Pertinax.	10
51	10	"The dragon or, more likely, its housing would have been evident, when we scouted the palace from a distance".	10
51	18	"While I was Lord Yamada's guest, I examined the palace with care, not simply to familiarize myself with the premises, but to seek avenues of escape, and note points of possible attack.	10
53	4	"I can see the palace," I said, "on the screen.	10
53	7	"You are in the palace".	10
53	11	Would it not then be natural, almost immediately, to psychologically situate yourself in accord with the coercions of custom and familiarity? Though I knew myself in a small room, in the palace of an island shogun, I had much the sense of oneness with the enormous beast through whose eyes, so to spe...	10
53	15	"I am going to circle the palace, three times, slowly, in a stately fashion, at a low altitude.	10
53	17	"There is the fifth level, the compartments on the western side of the palace," said Pertinax.	10
53	60	"I suppose," said Pertinax, "with a bit of experimenting, we might blast the observation balcony off the wall of the palace".	10
54	3	We had occasionally, glaives ready, opened the door briefly, to reconnoiter the corridor, which led to the main corridor on the western side of the palace.	10
54	129	"It must be destroyed!" Although we were placidly ensconced in a small room in the palace of Lord Yamada, we could sense from the screens, the shuddering of the dragon, as, first, a torrent of fire appeared on the forward screen, and, a moment later, it seemed a stream of light sped away, diminishin...	10
54	203	"It is much as it was at the palace of Yamada," said Tajima.	10
55	8	We edged slowly down the corridor, until we reached the main corridor on the west side of the palace.	10
55	30	"Lord Yamada may not even be in the palace," I said.	10
55	53	We had descended to the second level of the palace, and had encountered no one, until this moment.	10
55	93	"The palace is deserted," said Pertinax.	10
55	99	"I do not understand the desertion of the palace," said Pertinax.	10
55	154	"In the palace?" said Tajima.	10
55	161	"Wild may be the peasants," said Tajima, "but they did not burn the palace".	10
55	162	"The palace is the seat of the shogun," said Nodachi.	10
55	193	"The palace is deserted," I said.	10
55	199	"Lord Yamada," I said, "may not be in the palace".	10
56	7	It was the kitchen of an Ashigaru guard station within the palace itself.	10
56	8	Might there not be scraps of food in such a place, even scrapings from the sides of garbage bins? Might not such locations then be frequented by such an individual, or individuals, trying to survive like urts in the collapse of a society or civilization? I had located it and other such facilities in...	10
56	9	I had set Pertinax and Tajima separately on their way about the palace, searching for weapons.	10
56	24	"I am alone!" Now, that seemed quite likely to me, after Pertinax, Tajima, and I had explored so much of the palace, which now seemed barren and empty, unkempt, and deserted.	10
56	31	"Upon the departure of soldiers," she said, "peasants, laughing, curious, angry, riotous, streamed into the palace.	10
56	35	"The beasts ransacked the palace," she said.	10
57	38	It seems that Tyrtaios and his colleague, the two tarnsmen at the disposal of Lord Yamada, had been held at the palace, and the first information pertaining to the new, startling developments in the north were a result of the communications borne by several message vulos.	10
57	58	Three days ago the deserted palace had been overrun by looting, riotous peasants.	10
57	75	Fifty tarns, of course, might provide invaluable intelligence, telling attacks at carefully selected points, and, equipped with flame vases, threaten any number of structures, even the palace of Lord Yamada itself, with relative impunity.	10
57	77	"Why did you remain in the palace?" I asked the Lady Kameko.	10
57	96	I hurried back, into the palace, to hide, and I have been afraid to leave it".	10
57	97	"I think, perhaps," I said, "you did not wish to leave the palace, that you were afraid to do so, and, accordingly, neglected to bring your belongings, this providing an excuse to return for them, and, incidentally, to lose contact with your supposed escape group".	10
57	156	"Are there others, like you, hiding in the palace?" I asked.	10
57	158	Some, I supposed, might have feared to join the escape parties, risking the open country, and, surely, might not have anticipated the entry of peasantry into the august corridors of the shogun's palace.	10
57	160	"The palace is vast and the rooms many".	10
57	200	"We could give her to an Ashigaru, when the men of Temmu arrive at the palace," said Tajima.	10
57	314	"The palace is large, rooms are numerous, and some may be secret".	10
57	326	"What sort of tending and caring?" "The women will have fled the palace by now," said Tajima.	10
58	1	We Will Arm Ourselves "I think," said Nodachi, a field sword across his legs, as he sat cross-legged in the trophy room, "Lord Yamada is in the palace".	10
58	22	"Why," I asked, "do you think Lord Yamada is in the palace?" "He is shogun," said Nodachi.	10
58	35	We had encountered no one in the corridors or the rooms, but, now and then, we had come upon the suggestion that others might be in the palace, presumably other fugitives, as the Lady Kameko.	10
58	76	"There is no serious reason, in a muchly deserted palace, in a dangerous, lawless time, why she might not lead us to the trophy room, if she knew its location.	10
58	194	"The palace is large, and many passages are narrow and intricate," said Pertinax.	10
58	197	"The palace is intricate," said Tajima, "but it is not a maze".	10
58	226	* * * "I think," had said Nodachi, a field sword across his legs, as he sat cross-legged in the trophy room, "Lord Yamada is in the palace".	10
58	255	"You think that Lord Yamada remains in the palace?" I asked.	10
58	274	"The palace is large," I said.	10
59	3	The audience chamber, though I had not seen it before, probably because it was reserved for formal occasions, state functions, and such, was surely a centerpiece in the palace of Lord Yamada.	10
59	54	"The palace was overrun, by peasants," said Nodachi.	10
60	109	This is he! He is the son of my daughter, who died in your palace, of woman's poisons!" "She?" said Lord Yamada.	10
60	416	"You have not come to loot an empty palace, nor steal from the destitute".	10
60	419	"It is no accident that these troubled men have entered the palace grounds".	10
61	128	Ichiro then brought the four tarns, three on leading straps, to the grounds of the palace of Yamada.	10
61	257	"I did not believe you, on the road to the palace of Yamada," he said.	10
61	267	"We could have paved the road to the palace with their bodies".	10
61	285	My thoughts drifted back to the grounds of the palace of Yamada.	10
61	419	It may be recalled that Haruki had ventured to the hiding place of Ichiro and the tarns, where Aiko was in attendance, and that they had then returned, by tarn, to the grounds of the palace.	10
61	423	So Aiko found herself on the palace grounds, brought by Ichiro and Haruki, while Lord Yamada, Nodachi, I, and some others, and the many peasants of Arashi, advanced to meet, and discomfit, the forces of Temmu on the north road.	10
