"Her name is Phoebe," said the Bina, "and were she not veiled it would be easier to describe her to you, as she is frightfully homely". |
10 |
| 6 | 662 |
The Brigella, as the Lady Phoebe, extricated herself, on her knees, from the robes of Boots Tarsk-Bit. |
10 |
| 6 | 666 |
"Phoebe!" cried the Lady Tipa. |
10 |
| 6 | 667 |
"Tipa," moaned Phoebe, in misery. |
10 |
| 6 | 668 |
"Phoebe!" cried the Lady Tipa, in delight. |
10 |
| 6 | 669 |
"Tipa!" pleaded Phoebe. |
10 |
| 6 | 670 |
"Phoebe on her knees, as naked as a slave, on a public road, crawling out of a man's robes!" laughed the Bina, pointing derisively at her. |
10 |
| 6 | 671 |
"How shameful, how outrageous, how marvelous, how delicious, how glorious!" "Please, Tipa," pleaded Phoebe. |
10 |
| 6 | 1204 |
The Bina, then, in her garments of a free woman, she who had played the brief role of the Lady Tipa, the fellow villager of the Lady Phoebe, emerged onto the stage. |

"I am Phoebe, Lady of Telnus," she said. |
10 |
| 8 | 499 |
Lady Phoebe of Telnus was, of course, a free woman, and though she was a capture, in a sense, she had a special status with me. |
10 |
| 8 | 518 |
"Oh!" said Lady Phoebe, softly. |
10 |
| 8 | 548 |
"Oh!" said Lady Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 554 |
"Ohh!" gasped Lady Phoebe, crying out in the blindfold, squirming on the saddle before me. |
10 |
| 8 | 562 |
"Oh, ohh," said Lady Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 605 |
I did not know if the Lady Phoebe would find these appealing or not but she would learn to eat them. |
10 |
| 8 | 932 |
"I shall call you 'Phoebe,'" I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 41 |
The ears of the delicate Phoebe must have burned as she heard the snapping of wings near us and the shouting of ribald, raucous jests, of which her beauty and its probable disposition were the subject. |
10 |
| 9 | 50 |
In these attempts I had, of course, not taken Phoebe. |
10 |
| 9 | 170 |
I watched Phoebe pour some meal into the boiling, salted water. |
10 |
| 9 | 183 |
Phoebe knelt near the fire, back on her heels. |
10 |
| 9 | 194 |
Phoebe knelt even straighter. |
10 |
| 9 | 224 |
"Phoebe has gathered, the last two nights," she said, shyly, "that she may not be without attractions to master". |
10 |
| 9 | 274 |
I bit into the bread and Phoebe then, too, began to eat, taking a small spoonful of the porridge. |
10 |
| 9 | 277 |
"Do you think she is free?" asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 9 | 289 |
"She is passionate," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 9 | 291 |
"Nonetheless," said Phoebe, "she is passionate". |
10 |
| 9 | 293 |
"So, too, I would were mine," said Phoebe, boldly. |
10 |
| 9 | 307 |
"She is quiet now," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 9 | 309 |
"She is probably licking and kissing him now, clinging to him," said Phoebe, "afraid that he might thrust her away". |
10 |
| 9 | 441 |
"How often," smiled Phoebe, "did I, as a free woman, feel repulsion and horror at even the sight of such scanty, revealing garments, in which slaves were put. |
10 |
| 9 | 445 |
"But she is a slave, is she not?" asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 12 | 409 |
I had not eaten since early morning, at the small tent I had shared with Phoebe. |
10 |
| 24 | 122 |
I recalled lovely Phoebe, of Telnus, so slim, with her very dark hair, her very white skin. |
10 |
| 24 | 898 |
She reminded me a little of Phoebe, from Telnus, whom I had left on the coffle with the remainder of the debtor sluts I had redeemed, and obtained, at the Crooked Tarn, Temione, Amina, Rimice and Liomache. |

"'Phoebe'," she said. |
10 |
| 1 | 116 |
I had, of course, warned Phoebe to silence, with respect to whose captive she was, as my business in the north, at least at that time, had been secret. |
10 |
| 1 | 124 |
I had little doubt that Phoebe, and without too much provocation, might have revealed more of me, and of our relationship, and past, and such, than I would have approved of. |
10 |
| 1 | 225 |
"When you left the coffle, then," I said, "it contained only Amina, Rimice and Phoebe". |
10 |
| 1 | 232 |
"Phoebe wants explicitly to be a slave," she said. |
10 |
| 3 | 165 |
Even now, I supposed, he was keeping four women for me, a slave, Liadne, serving as first girl, and three free women, Amina, of Venna, and Rimice and Phoebe, both of Cos. |
10 |
| 3 | 168 |
I had also picked up slim, white-skinned, dark-haired Phoebe there, who had muchly stripped herself before me, acceding to her pleas that I accept her, if only as a servant. |
10 |
| 32 | 80 |
I recalled Phoebe, the slim young maid of Cos whom I had taken with me, at her request, from the Crooked Tarn. |
10 |
| 37 | 81 |
"Phoebe," he said. |
10 |
| 37 | 105 |
I had known this about Phoebe for a long time, of course, even from the time she had first knelt before me, at the Crooked Tarn. |
10 |
| 37 | 126 |
It amused me to think of the lovely Phoebe under a condition of such need. |
10 |
| 37 | 208 |
Indeed, I had a superb disposition in mind for Phoebe. |
10 |
| 37 | 211 |
We would not discuss the disposition of the lovely Phoebe before them, as she, too, was a female. |
10 |
| 37 | 220 |
"Where is Phoebe?" I asked, for, as I went around the wagon, I did not see her within. |
10 |
| 37 | 262 |
She was as first girl to the others, even Phoebe, the free woman. |
10 |
| 37 | 301 |
"Several fellows have asked me to put Phoebe at the stake," he said, "being willing to pay an entire copper tarsk". |
10 |
| 37 | 416 |
"Later in the morning," he said, "Phoebe is to be prepared for presentation". |
10 |
| 37 | 426 |
"You are not even a free woman, as Phoebe," said Ephialtes. |
10 |
| 37 | 489 |
"Do you think you can prepare Phoebe for presentation tomorrow morning," I asked. |
10 |
| 37 | 512 |
Tomorrow Phoebe was to be presented. |
10 |
| 43 | 182 |
I had expected that Marcus would be strongly attracted to Phoebe, for she was an extraordinarily lovely example of a type that he found almost maddeningly irresistible. |
10 |
| 43 | 186 |
But even though I had expected Marcus would find Phoebe of extreme interest, I had not anticipated that his interest would have been as arresting and profound as it apparently was. |
10 |
| 43 | 187 |
Also, I had not anticipated that Phoebe, on her part, would have had the profound reaction to him that she had apparently had. |
10 |
| 48 | 322 |
"'Phoebe'". |
10 |
| 48 | 331 |
"Surely you have known women in Ar," I said, "whose name was 'Phoebe'?" "It is a Cosian name," he snarled. |
10 |
| 48 | 456 |
"You are a poor slave," he said to Phoebe. |
10 |
| 48 | 478 |
I supposed I might use Phoebe once in a while, when my needs were much upon me, as she was a convenience, and a slave, but I suspected I should save her mostly for Marcus. |
10 |
| 48 | 542 |
"'Phoebe'," I said. |
10 |
| 48 | 547 |
"You are Phoebe," he said to her. |
10 |
| 48 | 548 |
"Who are you?" "Phoebe, Master," she said. |
10 |
| 48 | 582 |
Phoebe looked at me, frightened. |
10 |
| 48 | 590 |
He then, with great roughness, freeing her tightly bound wrists from behind her back, fastened Phoebe, she gasping, wincing, in the yoke. |
10 |
| 48 | 594 |
The yoke itself was not heavy, but its weight, together with the weight of the gear, and such, was not negligible for one such as Phoebe. |
10 |
| 48 | 599 |
I shook it out, that Phoebe could see that it was a skimpy, one-piece slave tunic. |
10 |
| 48 | 612 |
In it, of course, Phoebe would be charmingly displayed as what she was, a slave. |
10 |
| 49 | 5 |
Phoebe, too, is nearby, attending to her duties in the camp. |

"It is regrettable, is it not," Marcus asked Phoebe, "that she was forced to appear degradingly unshod?" "Yes, Master," said Phoebe, "for she is a free woman". |
10 |
| 8 | 394 |
One had sneered "Slave!" to Phoebe, to which Phoebe had put down her head, saying "Yes, Mistress". |
10 |
| 8 | 659 |
As Tafa was currently subject to us, and Phoebe was with us, this put Phoebe in a position of de facto priority to her. |
10 |
| 19 | 1337 |
"And had it been Phoebe?" "Phoebe knows better," he said. |
10 |
| 20 | 844 |
In a few moments she wept, "I yield me, Master!" and I then held her like iron and cried out with joy and she sobbed "I am helpless and taken!" and Phoebe, too, in the arms of Marcus, cried out, herself as well taken, and he, too, uttered a wild cry and a then sudden, low, satisfying growl, and the ... |

With him, clinging closely, about him, as though she might fear losing him in the crowd, and attempting also, it seemed, not unoften, to make herself small and conceal herself behind him, was his slave, Phoebe, this name having been put on her, a slender exquisite, very lightly complexioned, very da... |
10 |
| 1 | 129 |
Phoebe clung close to him, her tiny fingers on his sleeve. |
10 |
| 1 | 161 |
"And what of slaves?" asked Marcus, irritably, scowling at Phoebe. |
10 |
| 1 | 165 |
His slave, Phoebe, had been Cosian. |
10 |
| 1 | 211 |
"Phoebe is not finished with your feet," I said. |
10 |
| 1 | 212 |
Phoebe looked up, happily. |
10 |
| 1 | 224 |
"Oh!" said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 1 | 232 |
"Oh!" said Phoebe again. |
10 |
| 1 | 245 |
Phoebe lowered her head, smiling. |
10 |
| 1 | 255 |
Phoebe complied. |
10 |
| 1 | 277 |
Phoebe put down her head, shyly smiling. |
10 |
| 1 | 298 |
Phoebe looked up, frightened. |
10 |
| 1 | 304 |
Phoebe was very small and helpless, kneeling on the stones, near the wall. |
10 |
| 1 | 331 |
Phoebe, very small and vulnerable, naked, in her collar, crawled more behind the legs of Marcus. |
10 |
| 1 | 369 |
Phoebe was behind us, on her stomach, shuddering, covering her head with her hands. |
10 |
| 1 | 373 |
"You are safe now," I said to Phoebe, "or at least as safe as is ever a female slave". |
10 |
| 1 | 385 |
She, too, had been caught, like Phoebe, in the path of the procession. |
10 |
| 1 | 429 |
Then she looked across at us, and at Phoebe, who lowered her eyes, quickly. |
10 |
| 1 | 450 |
I followed him, and Phoebe raced behind us. |
10 |
| 2 | 2 |
Phoebe, kneeling, gasping, unclasped her hands from behind her neck, and lifted her head from the dirt, in our small tent, outside the walls of Ar, one of hundreds of such tents, mainly for vagabonds, itinerants and refugees. |
10 |
| 2 | 3 |
"Thank you, Master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 2 | 14 |
"Do you know what this is?" he asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 2 | 23 |
I saw that Phoebe wanted to reach out and seize the small garment but that she, under discipline, kept her hands, as she had been directed, at her sides. |
10 |
| 2 | 27 |
"It is to be mine, is it not?" asked Phoebe, eagerly, expectantly, hopefully. |
10 |
| 2 | 38 |
It was the sort of garment which free women profess to despise, to find unspeakably shocking, unutterably scandalous, the sort of garment which they profess to regard with horror, the sort of garment which they seem almost ready to faint at the sight of, and yet to Phoebe, and to others like her, in... |
10 |
| 2 | 47 |
In Phoebe's case, of course, the garment represented not only such things, confirmation of her bondage, her subjection to a master, and such, but, more importantly, at the moment, the considerable difference between being clothed and unclothed. |
10 |
| 2 | 49 |
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" wept Phoebe, clutching the garment. |
10 |
| 2 | 52 |
Not only would Phoebe be incredibly fetching in a slave garment, garments permitting a female in many ways to call attention to, accentuate, display and enhance her beauty, but it would make her, and us, less conspicuous on the streets of Ar. |
10 |
| 2 | 73 |
Phoebe slipped the garment over her head. |
10 |
| 2 | 79 |
Phoebe drew down the tunic about her thighs, and turned before Marcus, happily. |
10 |
| 2 | 81 |
"Does the slave please you?" inquired Phoebe, delighted. |
10 |
| 2 | 86 |
"The better that my master may look upon my flanks," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 2 | 95 |
"A girl is pleased, if she is found pleasing by her master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 2 | 113 |
I went back, with Marcus and Phoebe, later in the afternoon. |
10 |
| 2 | 148 |
"Master?" asked Phoebe, turning before Marcus. |
10 |
| 2 | 156 |
Phoebe looked at me, gratefully, flushed. |
10 |
| 2 | 160 |
Phoebe approached him and held her wrists, crossed, before her. |
10 |
| 2 | 181 |
Phoebe, of course, was muchly in love with Marcus, and he, in spite of himself, with her. |
10 |
| 2 | 236 |
Phoebe now stood humbly before Marcus, as she had been commanded. |
10 |
| 2 | 243 |
Marcus would know, of course, that Phoebe would not be likely to know much, if anything, of such matters. |
10 |
| 2 | 246 |
"No, Master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 2 | 249 |
I think he was just as pleased that Phoebe had not been muchly trained. |
10 |
| 2 | 254 |
"Master is undoubtedly familiar with many slaves, and things having to do with slaves," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 2 | 256 |
Though Marcus was a young man and, as far as I knew, had never owned a personal slave before Phoebe, he, as a Gorean, would be familiar with slaves. |
10 |
| 2 | 265 |
Phoebe, because of the nature of her acquisition and holding, and our movements, and such, had had very little chance to associate with, or meet, other slaves. |
10 |
| 2 | 267 |
Indeed, even if we remained in the camp for a few days, it was likely that Phoebe would soon find herself in one group or another of female slaves, conversing, working together, perhaps laundering, or such. |
10 |
| 2 | 271 |
"Yes, Master," said Phoebe, eagerly. |
10 |
| 2 | 275 |
Already, it seemed, Phoebe had returned to her normal mode of relating to him, as a mere, docile slave, not daring to confess her love openly. |
10 |
| 2 | 277 |
Phoebe now, given his recent intensity, his denunciation of her mendacity, his fury, his excessive response to her protestations of love, the violence of his reaction to them, had more than ample evidence of the depth of his feelings toward her. |
10 |
| 2 | 294 |
"Is it pretty?" asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 2 | 300 |
Phoebe moved about in the tent, delighted. |
10 |
| 2 | 306 |
Phoebe then, beside herself with passion, knelt swiftly before Marcus. |
10 |
| 2 | 387 |
Although I did not think that Phoebe, who was a highly intelligent girl, would be likely to attempt an escape, even if she were not bound to Marcus by chains a thousand times stronger than those of iron, the chains of love, she might be stolen. |
10 |
| 2 | 399 |
"Please, Master!" begged Phoebe. |
10 |
| 2 | 401 |
Phoebe was quite beautiful in the tunic. |
10 |
| 3 | 61 |
I was looking about for Marcus and Phoebe. |
10 |
| 3 | 150 |
I then continued my search for Marcus and Phoebe. |
10 |
| 3 | 180 |
I recalled that Phoebe, too, had been on a leash. |
10 |
| 3 | 184 |
I wondered if, even now, Phoebe might be writhing at his mercy in an intricate slave binding, one which might make her so much the more helpless under his touch. |
10 |
| 3 | 187 |
Certainly Phoebe had been superb in her tunic, adjusted on her by the slave girdle. |
10 |
| 3 | 192 |
I wondered if Phoebe had dared yet, in her need, to come close to him, on her leash, or even, perhaps, to brush against him, perhaps as though inadvertently. |
10 |
| 3 | 320 |
Behind Marcus was Phoebe, standing very straight, and very close to him, but not touching him. |
10 |
| 3 | 329 |
I saw more than one fellow looking at Phoebe. |
10 |
| 3 | 334 |
Phoebe trembled, and bit her lip a little more. |
10 |
| 3 | 338 |
"I entered Phoebe in "meat catch," " said Marcus, "but she failed to catch even a single morsel". |
10 |
| 3 | 343 |
"I had thought you might have taken Phoebe to the tent by now," I said. |
10 |
| 3 | 347 |
Phoebe made a tiny noise. |
10 |
| 3 | 348 |
"I think Phoebe is ready for the tent now," I said. |
10 |
| 3 | 352 |
"Perhaps you should take Phoebe back to the tent," I said. |
10 |
| 3 | 374 |
"How do you like them?" Marcus asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 3 | 430 |
"I can do that, Master," sobbed Phoebe, trying to stand very still. |
10 |
| 3 | 463 |
"I can do that," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 3 | 470 |
"It is still early, Master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 3 | 476 |
"Perhaps we will return to the tent now," said Marcus to Phoebe. |
10 |
| 3 | 486 |
Phoebe moved her lovely little head in the leash and collar, and looked off into the distance. |
10 |
| 3 | 490 |
Phoebe's mistake, of course, was to look away. |
10 |
| 3 | 924 |
Indeed, by now, Marcus and Phoebe might be asleep. |
10 |
| 3 | 928 |
Phoebe, as I have suggested, was held to her master by bonds compared to which stout ropes, woven of the strongest, coarsest fibers, and chains or iron, obdurate, weighty and unbreakable, were mere gossamer strands. |
10 |
| 4 | 26 |
Phoebe was not with us. |
10 |
| 4 | 37 |
Marcus had decided to keep Phoebe today in a box or locker, rather than at an open ring. |
10 |
| 4 | 46 |
Also, it seemed to me, aside from the value of its effect of Phoebe, an excellent idea. |
10 |
| 4 | 48 |
Some might recall that Phoebe was his slave, and thus attempt to trace him through her. |
10 |
| 4 | 126 |
We clasped hands, and then continued on our way, to fetch Phoebe. |
10 |
| 5 | 1 |
Outside the Gate "And so, tonight," said Marcus, huddling beside me, in a blanket, Phoebe covered in another, completely, so that she could not see, beside him, in the darkness and cold outside the sun gate, with perhaps two or three hundred others, "I thought you were to be warm and snug in Ar". |
10 |
| 5 | 90 |
Marcus thrust Phoebe's head farther down, she covered totally by the blanket. |
10 |
| 6 | 205 |
In a few moments we had come to a slave ring where we had left Phoebe. |
10 |
| 6 | 214 |
"Are you hungry?" Marcus asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 6 | 226 |
Then, in a moment, we left, retracing our steps, moving north on the Avenue of the Central Cylinder, past shops, fountains, columns and such, until we would make our left turn, toward Emerald Street, Phoebe heeling him, her hands now fastened behind her in the bracelets. |
10 |
| 7 | 27 |
Marcus and I, and Phoebe, had watched the burning of the great gate for a time. |
10 |
| 7 | 66 |
Phoebe was close behind Marcus, clinging to him, that she not be swept from us in the throngs. |
10 |
| 7 | 117 |
Marcus looked down, sharply, at Phoebe, who clung to his arm. |
10 |
| 7 | 118 |
Instantly Phoebe looked down. |
10 |
| 7 | 121 |
Phoebe, of course, was much exposed in the brief slave tunic, her arms and legs. |
10 |
| 7 | 147 |
"Phoebe might be hurt," I said. |
10 |
| 7 | 223 |
Phoebe stood on her tiptoes, clinging to Marcus' arm, her slim, lovely body very straight. |
10 |
| 7 | 314 |
"She is not a slave," said another, glaring angrily at Phoebe who, frightened, in her slave tunic, pressed herself more closely against Marcus. |
10 |
| 7 | 403 |
Phoebe had her head down, her eyes shut, covering her ears with her hands, so great was the din. |
10 |
| 7 | 405 |
Phoebe opened her eyes and removed her hands from her ears, but she kept her head down. |
10 |
| 7 | 426 |
Phoebe now knelt beside Marcus, her head down. |
10 |
| 7 | 434 |
Marcus looked down at Phoebe. |
10 |
| 7 | 463 |
Phoebe rose to her feet beside her master, clinging to him, pressing herself to him, soft, her head down. |
10 |
| 7 | 547 |
"But we would not wish to risk her little feet, would we?" Marcus asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 7 | 548 |
"No, Master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 7 | 549 |
Although Marcus had spoken in irony, Phoebe's response was quite serious, and appropriately so. |
10 |
| 7 | 551 |
An unbridgeable and, to the slave, terrifying chasm separates any free woman on Gor from a slave, such as Phoebe. |
10 |
| 7 | 554 |
Phoebe, of course, was barefoot. |
10 |
| 8 | 17 |
Phoebe was heeling Marcus. |
10 |
| 8 | 63 |
"What a beautiful street!" exclaimed Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 85 |
To be sure, I think that Phoebe's outburst was genuinely inadvertent. |
10 |
| 8 | 134 |
Marcus and I then, followed by Phoebe, continued on our way. |
10 |
| 8 | 217 |
"You need not look at the establishments on this street," Marcus informed Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 246 |
"Did you enjoy the pageant?" I asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 251 |
"Surely master is not jealous?" inquired Phoebe, delightedly. |
10 |
| 8 | 259 |
"Master is a thousand times more handsome than Milo," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 273 |
Phoebe, I think, in her way, was having her vengeance. |
10 |
| 8 | 274 |
For example, when we had passed by various open-air markets, shelf markets, and such, many of the girls, nude in their chains, usually fastened by the neck or ankle to heavy iron rings, had clearly, to the fury of Phoebe, in posings, and by means of subtle glances, and such, attempted to call themse... |
10 |
| 8 | 294 |
In attending the great theater last night we had conceded to public opinion, or, more particularly, to the sensibilities of free women, clothing Phoebe modestly, or at least somewhat modestly. |
10 |
| 8 | 299 |
Phoebe herself, of course, held the sheet about her. |
10 |
| 8 | 301 |
Little more than Phoebe's soft, dark eyes and the bridge of her nose could be seen, except, of course, at the bottom, where one might detect her bared ankles and feet. |
10 |
| 8 | 302 |
We did not think that Phoebe would relax her vigilance in clutching the sheet about her. |
10 |
| 8 | 318 |
Marcus and I stopped, and Phoebe knelt beside Marcus, back a bit, in close heeling position. |
10 |
| 8 | 387 |
"You just did not realize that Phoebe could be so fetching, completely concealed," I said. |
10 |
| 8 | 391 |
No sooner had he had Phoebe inside the door to our room in the insula than he had torn the sheet and veil from her and flung her on her belly to the straw-filled mat, then leaping upon her with a cry of joy. |

There had been little difficulty, of course, in folks knowing that Phoebe was a slave, given, for example, that her primary covering was a sheet and that her feet were bared. |
10 |
| 8 | 408 |
"Phoebe liked it," I said. |
10 |
| 8 | 416 |
It had cost three full copper tarsks for our admission to the pageant, and one of those was for Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 440 |
In moment or two Marcus was again beside me, and Phoebe behind him, on his left. |
10 |
| 8 | 647 |
I turned to Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 649 |
"No, Master," said Phoebe, "certainly not. |
10 |
| 8 | 653 |
"Indeed," said Phoebe, "it seems to me that she got off quite lightly. |
10 |
| 8 | 656 |
"I am not 'Mistress,'" said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 658 |
It was natural enough, in the circumstances, for Tafa to have addressed Phoebe as "Mistress". |
10 |
| 8 | 676 |
"The decision as to the discipline of a slave will be made by the masters," I reminded Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 677 |
"Yes, Master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 679 |
Phoebe's zeal to see an errant slave punished, and suitably, was a quite natural one, of course. |
10 |
| 8 | 686 |
It might be added, incidentally, that Phoebe, herself a slave, in moral consistency, fully accepted this same principle, at least intellectually, in her own case. |
10 |
| 8 | 691 |
Phoebe herself, it might be mentioned, had very seldom been lashed, particularly since the day of Myron's entrance into the city when Marcus had finally accepted her as a mere slave, as opposed to a Cosian woman in his collar, to be sure, enslaved, on whom he could vent his hatred for Cos and all th... |
10 |
| 8 | 692 |
The general immunity to the lash which was experienced by Phoebe, of course, was a function of her excellence as a slave. |
10 |
| 8 | 696 |
"Look!" laughed Phoebe, looking toward the prone slave. |
10 |
| 8 | 698 |
"Scandalous slave!" laughed Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 704 |
"Slave, slave!" laughed Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 706 |
"She is such a slave," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 708 |
"Yes, Master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 709 |
I was amused by Phoebe's attitude. |
10 |
| 8 | 753 |
"More so than I?" asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 755 |
"Please, Master," begged Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 757 |
"Yes, Master!" said Phoebe, defiantly. |
10 |
| 8 | 761 |
"Phoebe is jealous," she whispered. |
10 |
| 8 | 762 |
"Phoebe, who is what?" he said. |
10 |
| 8 | 763 |
"Phoebe, Master's slave, is jealous," she said. |
10 |
| 8 | 765 |
"Master sports with his helpless slave," pouted Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 781 |
On the other hand, despite the niceties involved in such matters, the allocations of power, the legalities, and such, I had little doubt that Phoebe, and, indeed, thousands of other slaves, had a great deal to do with whether they were kept or not. |
10 |
| 8 | 787 |
Though Marcus would not admit this, and would scorn the very idea, it seemed obvious to me that not only was Phoebe his love slave, but that he was to her as love master. |
10 |
| 8 | 792 |
But Marcus and Phoebe paid me no attention. |
10 |
| 8 | 794 |
"I love you, Master," was saying Phoebe, looking up at him, "totally and helplessly". |
10 |
| 8 | 823 |
"Master," said Phoebe, pleadingly. |
10 |
| 8 | 827 |
"Master," begged Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 831 |
"Master!" said Phoebe, suddenly, again. |
10 |
| 8 | 918 |
I had scarcely uttered my injunction to Marcus when, Phoebe screaming, the fellow lunged. |
10 |
| 8 | 971 |
Phoebe shrank back a bit, closer to Marcus. |
10 |
| 8 | 1002 |
"Yes, Master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 1008 |
"Master," moaned Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 1018 |
"Master," whimpered Phoebe. |
10 |
| 8 | 1047 |
Phoebe turned about, from her knees, the tunic between her teeth, and looked back at us. |
10 |
| 8 | 1060 |
This arrangement, at any rate, was the one which Marcus had taught to Phoebe long ago, quite early in her slavery to him, at a time when she had been much more often kept bound and gagged than now. |
10 |
| 8 | 1064 |
Phoebe hurried behind. |
10 |
| 8 | 1070 |
We then continued on our way, Phoebe heeling her master. |
10 |
| 9 | 235 |
Phoebe, of course, had been Cosian. |
10 |
| 10 | 33 |
"Does Phoebe have her period?" I asked. |
10 |
| 12 | 242 |
Phoebe had often learned that to her dismay. |
10 |
| 13 | 205 |
"I would not trade Phoebe for her," he said. |
10 |
| 13 | 206 |
"And he might not trade her for Phoebe," I smiled. |
10 |
| 18 | 244 |
Or perhaps it would be more correct to say that he did not much approve of Phoebe's approving of him. |
10 |
| 19 | 1468 |
"I want Phoebe!" he said. |
10 |
| 20 | 13 |
"Yes," granted Phoebe, kneeling nearby, some sewing across her knees. |
10 |
| 20 | 15 |
Phoebe, of course, was first girl. |
10 |
| 20 | 16 |
"For a cheap slave," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 23 |
"Please do not stop!" "Her hair is too short," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 45 |
"Her skin is blotchy," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 145 |
"Her skin is still blotchy," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 148 |
"And her hair is much too short," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 151 |
"But I suppose she is pretty enough," said Phoebe, "for a cheap girl". |
10 |
| 20 | 153 |
"What did you cost?" asked Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 155 |
Phoebe knew very well, of course, what I had paid for her. |
10 |
| 20 | 158 |
"I myself," said Phoebe, "sold for a hundred pieces of gold". |
10 |
| 20 | 167 |
In such a market I thought that Phoebe would probably go for something like two or two and a half silver tarsks, and that the other girl, if her hair was grown out and her skin healed, for something like two silver tarsks. |
10 |
| 20 | 169 |
Phoebe tossed her head, smoothing her hair about. |
10 |
| 20 | 173 |
Phoebe cried out with rage, and rushed to the wall to seize up a switch there. |
10 |
| 20 | 177 |
Marcus had intercepted Phoebe's descending wrist. |
10 |
| 20 | 178 |
Phoebe cried out in pain and dropped the switch. |
10 |
| 20 | 183 |
You are both only slaves, only animals!" Phoebe struggled, angrily, in his arms. |
10 |
| 20 | 192 |
Originally Phoebe had known little, if anything, of sewing, but when she had become slave she must learn such things. |
10 |
| 20 | 195 |
I would see to it that she received instruction of Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 197 |
Phoebe ceased struggling and Marcus released her, stepped back a pace and regarded her. |
10 |
| 20 | 210 |
Phoebe sobbed, her head to the side. |
10 |
| 20 | 219 |
Phoebe looked at her, in wonder. |
10 |
| 20 | 222 |
Phoebe sobbed, looking away. |
10 |
| 20 | 223 |
"She is telling you that Phoebe is jealous of her," I said. |
10 |
| 20 | 224 |
Marcus crouched down beside Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 226 |
"Yes, Master," sobbed Phoebe, her eyes closed. |
10 |
| 20 | 231 |
This he threw down beside Phoebe, the coils of the leather cracking on the floor, beside her head, to the right. |
10 |
| 20 | 240 |
I went over and picked up the sewing which Phoebe had dropped to the floor when she had leaped to her feet. |
10 |
| 20 | 271 |
I then, in a moment, took back the garment, and dropped it to the side, where Phoebe had been working, near the small sewing basket there. |
10 |
| 20 | 273 |
Phoebe was now gasping at one side of the room. |
10 |
| 20 | 295 |
Marcus, turning, rolling, Phoebe locked in his arms, had struck into the wall there. |
10 |
| 20 | 341 |
Phoebe was moaning to one side. |
10 |
| 20 | 348 |
"Claim me!" wept Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 351 |
"I yield me your slave!" wept Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 377 |
"You have done well, Phoebe," I said. |
10 |
| 20 | 379 |
"Thank you, Master," gasped Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 384 |
"Your skin is blotchy," I said to Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 442 |
"My master has an excellent hand!" volunteered Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 448 |
"It was my hope, Phoebe," said I, "that your master, exactly, might be prevailed upon to lend his expertise to this endeavor". |
10 |
| 20 | 501 |
Marcus and I had agreed that Phoebe would not write the letter. |
10 |
| 20 | 506 |
For example, Phoebe had a beautiful, feminine hand, but it was natural for her, and easiest for her, of course, to write in Cosian script. |
10 |
| 20 | 508 |
Thus, rather than have Phoebe try to disguise her hand and write in the script of Ar, Marcus and I had decided that the note, or letter, would be written by the new slave, whose background, and education, were of Ar, the same as those of the putative writer of the note, or letter. |
10 |
| 20 | 515 |
"Master!" said Phoebe, suddenly, taken by Marcus and thrust down, forcibly, to the boards. |
10 |
| 20 | 519 |
"Please enter your slave, Master," said Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 537 |
"Master," begged Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 547 |
"Your slave begs," said Phoebe to Marcus. |
10 |
| 20 | 612 |
"Master," begged Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 614 |
"Master!" whimpered Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 624 |
"Master," begged Phoebe. |
10 |
| 20 | 645 |
"I will write the letter for you," mumbled Marcus, his words lost somewhere in Phoebe's neck. |
10 |
| 20 | 785 |
Phoebe was moaning to one side, locked in the arms of Marcus. |
10 |
| 20 | 845 |
"I am yours," said Phoebe to Marcus. |
10 |
| 21 | 84 |
Indeed, in a sense she was ignorant of its contents as Marcus and I, with Phoebe's expert assistance, as it turned out, had composed it yesterday evening, while she had been scouting the public boards for us, for any news that might be of interest. |
10 |
| 22 | 127 |
That was reassuring, and was in its way a compliment to Phoebe's skill as a seamstress, which skill she had primarily acquired following her collaring. |
10 |
| 22 | 268 |
Only Phoebe had not seemed surprised, but had merely smiled. |
10 |
| 23 | 241 |
"But he will catch up with you, with a slave, Phoebe". |
10 |
| 23 | 252 |
"Then, if all goes well, Marcus and Phoebe can leave with you tomorrow". |
10 |
| 23 | 360 |
"It is seldom necessary to whip Phoebe either now," said Marcus. |
10 |
| 25 | 643 |
"Besides, you are angry that Phoebe liked it". |
10 |
| 28 | 165 |
"Where is Phoebe?" I asked. |
10 |
