"Gito?" said the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 216 |
"Is it you?" asked the peasant. |
10 |

The peasant lifted his eyes, seemingly vacant, toward the leader of the strangers. |
10 |
| 31 | 224 |
"No," said the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 226 |
"I do not know," said the peasant. |
10 |

"Perhaps," said the peasant. |
10 |

"Perhaps," said the peasant. |

"Are you not my friend Gito?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 238 |
"Perhaps," said the peasant. |
10 |

"No," said the peasant, very slowly. |
10 |
| 31 | 242 |
"Yes," said the leader of the strangers, "down with Ar!" "'Down with Ar'?" said the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 244 |
The peasant seemed puzzled. |
10 |
| 31 | 249 |
"Is she in danger?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 251 |
"Then those who are of Ar must defend her," said the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 254 |
"Are you not of Ar? Must you, too, not defend her?" "Is it time for the planting?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 256 |
"Why?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 269 |
The peasant looked out, as he often did, seeming to see nothing. |
10 |
| 31 | 317 |
The leader of the strangers then returned his attention to the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 318 |
"Is it time for the planting?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 323 |
Tell the captain!" "Where is my friend Gito?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 325 |
"Are you well, Gito?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 327 |
"I am pleased to hear this," said the peasant, approvingly, distantly. |
10 |
| 31 | 341 |
"No!" said the pit master, thrusting his own body between the knife and the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 378 |
"Is it time for the planting?" inquired the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 380 |
"It is time for the planting!" "You have been kind to me," said the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 384 |
"I must," said the peasant, simply. |
10 |
| 31 | 386 |
"These men will not let you!" "I am sorry," said the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 389 |
"They will not let you!" "Not let me?" said the peasant, dully, uncomprehendingly. |
10 |
| 31 | 394 |
The peasant now stood. |
10 |
| 31 | 398 |
The peasant pulled against the chain on his left wrist. |
10 |
| 31 | 403 |
"They are not my friends?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 408 |
Suddenly a strange, ugly, total, eerie transformation seemed to come over the gigantic body of the peasant. |
10 |
| 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... |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 443 |
The peasant reached down and seized the chain on his right ankle with both his right and left hand. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 500 |
The way was now cleared to the peasant. |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 534 |
The peasant hurled himself again against the chains which held him back. |
10 |
| 31 | 535 |
The bowmen were no more than a yard from the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 539 |
Again the peasant, bellowing, threw himself against the chains. |
10 |
| 31 | 542 |
Again the peasant hurled himself against the chains. |
10 |
| 31 | 548 |
Again the peasant threw himself against the chains. |
10 |
| 31 | 552 |
Again the peasant threw himself against the chains. |
10 |
| 31 | 557 |
Again the peasant threw himself against the chains. |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 563 |
The two bowmen trained their weapons on the heart of the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 573 |
Again the peasant threw his weight against the chains. |
10 |
| 31 | 578 |
The two bowmen tensed, their fingers on the triggers, their quarrels aligned to the heart of the peasant. |
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... |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 586 |
The peasant seemed like a crazed animal, gigantic, leaning forward, straining, bulging with muscle and hate. |
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... |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 611 |
The peasant gave another great cry and with his right arm he lunged against the chain that still held him. |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 629 |
The peasant suddenly swung the great stone on its chain about his head in a wicked whirling circle. |
10 |
| 31 | 633 |
Then the peasant retreated to the wall. |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 655 |
But the stone on its chain, the peasant whirling with it, spun about and about. |
10 |
| 31 | 665 |
Swords darted at the peasant but none reached him, he protected in the whirling shield of chain and stone. |
10 |
| 31 | 669 |
And then the peasant was back again, at bay, against the wall. |
10 |
| 31 | 674 |
The peasant was breathing heavily. |
10 |
| 31 | 679 |
The peasant looked wildly about himself. |
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. |
10 |
| 31 | 686 |
The peasant looked down at it. |
10 |
| 31 | 691 |
The peasant bent down and picked up the blade. |
10 |
| 31 | 695 |
"You do not understand such a thing," said the leader of the strangers to the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 708 |
The first darting stroke toward the peasant had been parried smartly. |
10 |
| 31 | 711 |
"Do you call this a weapon?" asked the peasant. |
10 |
| 31 | 717 |
"I do not know this thing," said the peasant, looking at the blade, curiously. |
10 |
| 31 | 719 |
The attacker lay to the peasant's right, his knees drawn up. |
10 |
| 31 | 721 |
"But it is quick," said the peasant. |
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. |
10 |
| 33 | 32 |
Both of them had taken the peasant's scent, but the leader of the strangers would not know that. |
10 |
| 33 | 77 |
Indeed, the peasant must be somewhere in them. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 35 | 92 |
The peasant sat down, cross-legged, before Gito. |
10 |
| 35 | 95 |
"The planting must be done," the peasant reminded him. |
10 |
| 35 | 97 |
"I may not see you again," said the peasant. |
10 |
| 35 | 100 |
"I wish you well," said the peasant. |
10 |
| 35 | 102 |
The peasant smiled, and put his great hands affectionately on Gito's small shoulders. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 37 | 386 |
The peasant, I assumed, from the horrifying cry I had heard, must be beneath that terrible living hill of beasts. |
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. |
10 |
| 37 | 766 |
It was a risk, of course, which the peasant had been willing to take. |
10 |
| 37 | 775 |
The peasant, presumably, would not have been able to count on that development. |
