31 216 "Is it you?" asked the peasant.

31 224 "No," said the peasant.

31 244 The peasant seemed puzzled.
Details
10
31 249 "Is she in danger?" asked the peasant.
Details
10
31 251 "Then those who are of Ar must defend her," said the peasant.

31 254 "Are you not of Ar? Must you, too, not defend her?" "Is it time for the planting?" asked the peasant.

31 256 "Why?" asked the peasant.
Details
10
31 269 The peasant looked out, as he often did, seeming to see nothing.
Details

31 317 The leader of the strangers then returned his attention to the peasant.
Details
10
31 318 "Is it time for the planting?" asked the peasant.
Details
10
31 323 Tell the captain!" "Where is my friend Gito?" asked the peasant.
Details
10
31 325 "Are you well, Gito?" asked the peasant.
Details
10
31 327 "I am pleased to hear this," said the peasant, approvingly, distantly.
Details
10
31 341 "No!" said the pit master, thrusting his own body between the knife and the peasant.
Details
10
31 378 "Is it time for the planting?" inquired the peasant.
Details
10
31 380 "It is time for the planting!" "You have been kind to me," said the peasant.
Details
10
31 384 "I must," said the peasant, simply.
Details
10
31 386 "These men will not let you!" "I am sorry," said the peasant.
Details
10
31 389 "They will not let you!" "Not let me?" said the peasant, dully, uncomprehendingly.
Details

31 394 The peasant now stood.

31 398 The peasant pulled against the chain on his left wrist.
Details

31 429 But I did not think the peasant, that violent giant, that simple, outraged behemoth of a man, in his present state of mind, in his agitation, in the singleness of his purpose, in this ferocious, puissant concentration of all of his force, his power, against iron and rock, was troubled by pain, or ev...
Details
10
31 438 The links there could have been slipped apart, but the peasant took no note of this, rather he continued to force himself against the chain, the link bending more.
Details
10
31 443 The peasant reached down and seized the chain on his right ankle with both his right and left hand.
Details
10
31 484 The peasant, his legs free, save for the shackles and a length of chain on each, now turned about and grasped, with both hands, the chain on his neck.
Details
10
31 494 Almost at the same time there was a snap of chain and the neck chain which was on the peasant dangled before him, from the ring on his collar, and he had turned about again, to face us, his eyes wild, saliva running at the side of his mouth.
Details
10
31 500 The way was now cleared to the peasant.
Details
10
31 521 How absurd, if for so little, not even comprehended, our throats might be cut! No wonder we were so miserable, so frightened! The peasant stood there now like a beast at bay.
Details
10
31 534 The peasant hurled himself again against the chains which held him back.
Details
10
31 535 The bowmen were no more than a yard from the peasant.
Details
10
31 539 Again the peasant, bellowing, threw himself against the chains.
Details
10
31 542 Again the peasant hurled himself against the chains.
Details
10
31 548 Again the peasant threw himself against the chains.
Details
10
31 552 Again the peasant threw himself against the chains.
Details
10
31 557 Again the peasant threw himself against the chains.
Details
10
31 559 The entire block of stone in which the plate and ring was fixed on the peasant's left, our right, had inched out.
Details
10
31 563 The two bowmen trained their weapons on the heart of the peasant.
Details
10
31 573 Again the peasant threw his weight against the chains.
Details
10
31 578 The two bowmen tensed, their fingers on the triggers, their quarrels aligned to the heart of the peasant.
Details
10
31 579 I saw the chains straighten, the rings straighten; the plate on our right, the peasant's left, out from the stone, and the very stone in which it was fastened, too, drawn an inch or more out from the wall, and the other chain, too, I saw, it still fastened to its ring and plate, these tight on the s...
Details
10
31 580 Again the peasant lunged against his chains, and there was a squeal of metal and there was, as though reluctant, crying out, protesting, another tiny yielding, a grating of stone, another tiny movement, another tiny fearful slippage, of a ponderous block of stone.
Details
10
31 586 The peasant seemed like a crazed animal, gigantic, leaning forward, straining, bulging with muscle and hate.
Details
10
31 591 "Aargh!" cried one of the bowmen reeling back, his face a mass of blood within the helmet, the quarrel slashing into the wall to the right of the prisoner, gouging the wall, showering sparks and the other, too, was buffeted to the side by his fellow, his own quarrel spitting, too, to the side, to th...
Details
10
31 593 As it had left the wall it had, with all the violence of the forces imposed upon it, whipped to the peasant's right, striking the nearest bowman on the side of the head.
Details
10
31 602 We then saw, in the light of the swinging lanterns, in the light of the small lamps, the men drawn back, the peasant, standing where he had been, but now bent over, his eyes wild, like something that had tasted blood, a long-forgotten taste, but one which induced a wild intoxication.
Details
10
31 611 The peasant gave another great cry and with his right arm he lunged against the chain that still held him.
Details
10
31 622 The peasant, now that his hands were free from the wall, took, with both hands, the chain which was on his left wrist, that to which the block of stone was still bolted.
Details
10
31 629 The peasant suddenly swung the great stone on its chain about his head in a wicked whirling circle.
Details
10
31 633 Then the peasant retreated to the wall.
Details
10
31 649 Suddenly, crying out, realizing somehow, in some dark part of that simple brain, in some instinctive fashion, that he had not a moment to spare, risking all, heedless of his back, swinging the stone about his head, the peasant, chains flying about his ankles, charged toward the bowmen.
Details
10
31 655 But the stone on its chain, the peasant whirling with it, spun about and about.
Details
10
31 665 Swords darted at the peasant but none reached him, he protected in the whirling shield of chain and stone.
Details
10
31 669 And then the peasant was back again, at bay, against the wall.
Details
10
31 674 The peasant was breathing heavily.
Details
10
31 679 The peasant looked wildly about himself.
Details
10
31 684 Suddenly the officer of Treve kicked the sword at his feet, that which had been earlier pried from his hand, toward the peasant.
Details
10
31 686 The peasant looked down at it.
Details
10
31 691 The peasant bent down and picked up the blade.
Details
10
31 695 "You do not understand such a thing," said the leader of the strangers to the peasant.
Details
10
31 708 The first darting stroke toward the peasant had been parried smartly.
Details
10
31 711 "Do you call this a weapon?" asked the peasant.
Details
10
31 717 "I do not know this thing," said the peasant, looking at the blade, curiously.
Details
10
31 719 The attacker lay to the peasant's right, his knees drawn up.
Details
10
31 721 "But it is quick," said the peasant.
Details
10
32 9 The lieutenant, carefully, crouching beside the fellow, spreading the metal, removed the helmet from the first victim of the peasant, he whose head had been struck by the stone on the chain.
Details
10
33 32 Both of them had taken the peasant's scent, but the leader of the strangers would not know that.
Details
10
33 77 Indeed, the peasant must be somewhere in them.
Details
10
34 12 Five of the black-tunicked men had perished in or near the cell, two being struck by the chain and stone, two in swordplay, and one apparently thrust through, in the darkness, the peasant exiting from the cell.
Details
10
34 70 "Vanarik preceded us," said a man, limping, he whose foot had been twisted in the stirrup of the crossbow, when the peasant had attacked him and the other.
Details
10
35 85 Within the portal, some feet within it, I saw, following his gaze, the immense figure of the peasant, barefoot, in his rags.
Details
10
35 92 The peasant sat down, cross-legged, before Gito.
Details
10
35 95 "The planting must be done," the peasant reminded him.
Details
10
35 97 "I may not see you again," said the peasant.
Details
10
35 100 "I wish you well," said the peasant.
Details
10
35 102 The peasant smiled, and put his great hands affectionately on Gito's small shoulders.
Details
10
35 105 But, a moment after the peasant had vanished, I would surely in any event have been awakened, for Gito leaped to his feet screaming.
Details
10
37 143 Both of these sleen had also been imprinted, I knew, with the scent, and some name, or signal, associated with the peasant, and could be set upon him.
Details
10
37 386 The peasant, I assumed, from the horrifying cry I had heard, must be beneath that terrible living hill of beasts.
Details
10
37 566 The peasant, I recalled, was not likely to waste quarrels on slaves, at least according to the speculations of the pit master, which speculations I fervently hoped were sound.
Details
10
37 766 It was a risk, of course, which the peasant had been willing to take.
Details
10
37 775 The peasant, presumably, would not have been able to count on that development.
Details
10
37 776 It was, presumably, a fortunate one for the Lady Ilene, particularly if the peasant had underestimated the capacity of the urts to leap from the water.
Details
10
37 777 Tensius, from the left, Abnik, from the right, hurried toward the peasant.
Details
10
37 781 Almost at the same moment Tensius had come to the place on the walkway from which the peasant had dived into the pool.
Details
10
37 785 Uncertain, Tensius and Abnik, judging as they could the likely path beneath the water of the peasant, loosed their quarrels.
Details
10
37 798 There seemed no sign of the peasant.
Details
10
37 809 Certainly one would have expected the peasant to surface by now, if he were still alive.
Details
10
37 818 The peasant now could not return through the nest, even if he survived there, to the walkway.
Details
10
37 819 I did think it possible, as doubtless so, too, did the lieutenant, that the peasant might now, at this time, the urts otherwise occupied, successfully reach the nest, which would be above water, on the other side of the wall.
Details
10
37 1064 But it might have been to his advantage had he paid closer attention to the figure in the water for suddenly the thing behind Abnik rose up in the water and, at the same time, we saw the quarrel of a bow emerge and the cable snapped forward and the quarrel took the lieutenant in the side of the thro...
Details
10
37 1117 It did seem to me that the peasant had surely manifested a subtlety, acumen, and terribleness far beyond what one might commonly expect of his caste.
Details
10
37 1179 He freed her hands and feet, cutting the cords of twisted cloth, taken from her garments, which the peasant had used to bind them.
Details
10
38 246 I recalled that there had been some speculation that the holding of the peasant might be in the vicinity of Ar.
Details
10
39 65 "Do you ever expect to see he who was your charge, the prisoner, 41, the peasant, he of interest to the black caste, again?" "No, Master," I said.
Details
10
40 359 "This all has to do with the prisoner, the peasant, does it not, Master?" I asked.
Details
10
46 464 I recalled the peasant.

10
46 467 Too, what difference could it make, really, if he were in the city, a mere peasant? "You could recognize him, if you saw him?" "Yes, Master," I said.
